Are these FBI guys not bound by ethics laws?

Looking forward to Director Wray's press conference later today. Looks to me that Strzok creep was behind the phony Russian investigation. There's no other way to read that email that was released by the IG.
"We'll stop" Trump from becoming president.

I see what you did there....
 
Well, if the employees are on the take against regs, I'd hold them to task.

But first, I might start with Scott Pruitt. His financial indiscretions seem among the most egregious.
 
Another tidbit from the IG report --- Comey had no idea that Weiner and Huma were married.

It's a bad thing, because it's illegal. It's what is commonly referred to as "a bribe".

So do you think all governmental employees who receive gifts or other forms of compensation outside of their salary/official compensation should be removed from their position

Any government employee who accepts a bribe is committing a crime.

What if it was done indirectly like through a family member, Ie giving something to the spouse of the governmental employee?

I dunno. Some might prefer to call them campaign contributions. It sounds less felonious.

Also sometimes called amendments to spending bills for pet projects in their district.

If any of those agents were running for office, they might be able to use that argument.

You want to get to the point and quit trying to play "gotcha"?

Certainly i am. If i am going to criticize bribery i will do so for anyone taking bribes.

I do not expect the same from some
 
Now for the FBI agents

I expect the agency has a policy regarding accepting gifts, meals etc and if they broke the policy they should be disciplined according to the policy based on the severity of the offense. Which could include termination

I see absolutely no biass there, none.

Wait, whats the definition of biassed again, you telling me it had nothing to do with being, you know AC DC and liking sex emphasizing certain body parts?

Ok, ok, had a liberal moment there...I am back now.

To hell w/the bribes. I'm wondering what top Swampy officials are saying in emails, and if so should we be allowed to read them? We are reading these FBI Emails which are all much ado about nothing. It's not a deep state, it's two people emailing each other about the election outcome and how upset they were by it. Something I imagine conservatives know liberals do when these things happen, right?

The influence they are talking about is Comey changing the minds of people by re-opening the Clinton investigation. They are upset at their boss. They aren't upset that their amazing Deep State plan failed. Which is what Hannity an all will be saying now.

This is true.

However, I was responding to something entirely different and that has nothing to do with anything.

So, unless you think elected government officials are NOT our employees, my statement stands.
