JTN-
FBI analysts working on the Michael Flynn Russia investigation originally planned to end the inquiry in fall 2016 and eventually bought liability insurance fearing they could be sued after their bosses continued to keep the investigation open based on “conspiracy theories,” explosive new text messages showed Thursday.
“We all went and purchased professional liability insurance,” one analyst texted on Jan. 10, 2017, just 10 days before Trump took office.
“Holy crap,” a colleague responded. “All the analysts too?”
“Yep,” the first analyst said. “All the folks at the Agency as well.”
“Can I ask who are the most likely litigators?” a colleague responded. “As far as potentially suing y’all.”
“Haha, who knows….I think the concern when we got it was that there was a big leak at DOJ and the NYT among others was going to do a piece,” the original analyst texted back. more
I can’t imagine an insurer paying out for what they did. Liability insurance isn’t for intentionally damaging activities.
That would be like BLM buying liability insurance for torching buildings and shooting police.
fbi d**k-suckers will do anything
I wish most bombshells weren’t such duds.
Hope they kept their premiums current. They’re not out of the woods as far as lawsuits go.
The DOJ should offer immunity to the first three people to come forward and speed up the inevitable process of discovery.
Maybe some rats fearing for their freedom would step up and get a golden ticket.
I heard that they purchased it with taxpayers money and not their own money. How do they get away with that?
LCD, I don’t understand either. I sell insurance and have sold many Liability and Professional Liability policies. My own Professional Liability policy stipulates it is for “errors & omissions”, in other words mistakes. I purposely deceive somebody, no payment. And my little policy costs about $2400 per year. I can only imagine the premium for these guys.
Looks like the rank & file aren’t so innocent after all. I never thought they were. Comey and his buddies didn’t do all that by themselves. Federal employees want to keep their jobs and most will do what it takes to keep them.
What do they call that?
Awareness of Guilt?
Can’t remember – something I probably saw on Perry Mason.
When Lenny tried to pet the girl’s hair (sorta like Joey Biden, come to think of it) he had no “intention” of killing her and even after doing so, had no concept of death or of his complicity.
I know – I’m mixing a TV show with a movie, but WTF?
izlamo delenda est …
The way I heard it was that we, the taxpayers, paid for their policies.
Note to self: Take out liability insurance before robbing the bank.
Gee, the whole GDamn government needs that, none of them can be trusted to do squat, not even the judges.
Generally speaking, you can buy malpractice liability insurance to cover errors and mistakes but not insurance to cover deliberate criminal activity liabilities.
I wonder if that insurance is good for swimming at 50 miles out over the Atlantic?
^^^ How about for swimming 50 miles under the Atlantic? (or as deep as we can sink them)
Q. What do you call 5000 FBI employees at the bottom of the ocean?
A. A free country.
The insurance may not be payable after their public hanging.
