Is Rudy involved in The FBI NY field office leaks to the WSJ and the NYT?

Given the recent leaks, it's pretty clear that Comey has lost control of a cadre of right-leaning rogue agents in the NYC office involved in the Weiner investigation. This office is operating fairly independently from the oversight of the Washington bureau, and it was the NY office that unsuccessfully pressed for an investigation of the Clinton Foundation and then leaked the spin that they were stonewalled by the Justice Department to like-minded reporters.

Why did the NY office wait so long to inform Comey about the existence of emails on Weiner's laptop?

Were the agents violating the law by exceeding the scope of the search warrant when they "discovered" them?

Are they sitting on anything else?

And what is Rudy Giuliani's role in this whole debacle? Who exactly is the FBI NY office working for?

Please remind anyone you know who is undecided, not voting, or going third party that a Trump presidency would guarantee that we would all be subjected to life under Attorney General Giuliani and a rogue, politically driven FBI.

RW men who can't stand the thought of a woman president. If the stories coming out about them are true, they should be fired for their unprofessional and partisan behavior. They're acting like a bunch of schoolchildren.

and use that as a springboard to the presidency.

Unfortunately he got caught both cheating on his wife and illegally detailing NYPD officers to stand guard against the press at his paramour's apartment building.

After Rudy gallantly informed his wife that he was leaving her for another woman via a press gaggle, he cited a serious health issue and dropped out of the senate race.

Rudy would love to take Hillary down. She has accomplished and continues to accomplish the resume that he couldn't.

The FBI under Comey has become worse than under J.Edgar. I think the only way to make sure that it works for all Americans is to dismantle big chunks of the bureau and fire the most politically active agents.
