I know we don't talk about you a whole lot. I know we don't praise you a whole lot. Our attention is always on the president, the president, and the president. I don't know if America got itself into this mess, or of those in power rigged the elections or what. I certainly can't blame everyone for buying into the promises of politicians.
The point is, if you're not there for us, who will be there for us? Our president is compromised. Our secretary of state: Compromised. Our potential next president: Compromised. Our political parties: Compromised. Our voting machines: Compromised. Maybe even our Department of Justice: Compromised.
What do we have then? A congress that barely functions? We've likened people such as Trey Gowdy as heroes, but he's up against an army. We need you, FBI, you're just about all we have left.
We don't know your circumstances. Maybe we're asking you to lose your job. Maybe we're asking for your security clearances to be permanently revoked. Maybe we're even asking you to die (I really hope not). But if you can't do anything officially, then please do as much as you can in any way you can.
Just remember all the stories you ever learned of our struggle for independence. We are the good guys of the story, but we didn't adhere to the rules of war. We fought desperately for our freedom. It wasn't pretty, and it wasn't easy, but sometimes that's what it takes.
We aren't asking you to be the government, we're asking for you to help us, the American people, to put the government in its place.
Personally speaking, the moment I saw Trump debating in the first Republican debate, I knew he'd get this far and I knew, at least in part, that he'd be facing these struggles. But what I saw in him I also saw in James Comey during his interviews with the FBI. What I saw in Trump while he always wished for politicians to step up and fix everything, I saw in Comey. "I would love to do it all for you but I can't." I don't know if that's really how it is, but I really hope that's how it is for at least some of you.
You aren't alone, FBI. If anything, you have us, the ones who have fought so hard for just a tiny fraction of the truth. I can't promise a bright future, but I can promise the hardest struggle that we can manage, and I think Trump is right there with us.
