So, in 2020, which Federal agent will vote for ANY candidate on this list of crooks and liars?

Not to mention all the FBI, TSA, IRS and DHS agents, forced to work without pay, while they watched their credit-ratings go up in smoke, the Coast Guard has 40,992 men and women on active duty, 7,000 reservists, 31,000 auxiliary personnel, and 8,577 full-time civilian employees, for a total workforce of 87,569, who will not vote for Trump or ANY Republican senators on the subsequent list of 2020 candidates?

Democrats faced a more challenging Senate map in 2018 than Republicans, in part because they had more seats up for election. But in 2020, the GOP will have to defend more Senate seats than Democrats. As of now, there will be 22 Republican Senate seats on the line, while Democrats will only need to protect 12 seats.

How many of these criminals, who are scheduled to run for office, will be SHUT DOWN in 2020?
Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky)
David Perdue (R-GA)
Jim Risch (R-Idaho)
Pat Roberts (R-Kansas)
Mike Rounds (R-South Dakota)
Ben Sasse (R-Nebraska)
Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska)
Thom Tillis (R-North Carolina)
Lamar Alexander (R-Tennessee)
Shelley Moore Capito (R-West Virginia)
Bill Cassidy (R-Louisiana)
Susan Collins (R-Maine)
John Cornyn (R-Texas)
Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas)
Steve Daines (R-Montana)
Mike Enzi (R-Wyoming)
Joni Ernst (R-Iowa)
Cory Gardner (R-Colorado)
Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina)
Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Mississippi)
James Inhofe (R-Oklahoma)
Jon Kyl (R-Arizona)

They’ll vote GOP. That’s what rightwing propaganda is designed to do: get votes for crooks and liars who harm working people.

After attempting to present someone, who was never associated with the CIA, as a CIA Analyst, Faux News was forced to prove in court that they were and entertainment media, NOT a news media.

The FBI has done good work with Trump and Russia, but remember agents in the NY FBI office helped get Trump elected by leaking to the NYT.
The FBI is a largely Republican organization. Many people there listen to Fox or Limbaugh. Though they’re now starting to realize Fox lies to them.

I agree with you that educated people are usually too smart to watch Fox. The uneducated are the GOP base: two kinds of Republicans, billionaires and suckers.

Did you know that most FBI agents hold post-graduate degrees? How did you meet so many FBI agents?

The FBI looks like Trump's America
With 67 percent white male agents, the bureau doesn't reflect the nation. Did its conservative culture play a role in Comey's decision to reveal the renewed Clinton email probe?

Plenty of respected, internet/ online companies were willing and able to pay experienced FBI online specialists better than the US Federal Govt. Also, IRS, FBI and DHS all took permanent losses in a wide variety of professional personnel, who could not only make more money but also receive a larger retirement. Wait until you see Trump's goon-squad of watch-those-commie-democrats start overlooking crimes of DC Republicans were suspects in; Then, quickly and quietly fills those vacated jobs with cronies.

until today, when I began wearing my Navy air hat. The few FBI agents, I've met were very tight-lipped, especially about politics; and I met a few with my top-secret clearance, because I hunted USSR nuclear submarines from a P-3, as an AW. Back then, NO military personnel made public comments about the Commander in Chief, even if Nixon was a crook.

Nimitz and Harold E. Holt (decommissioned). Actually I filled the role of yoeman on Nimitz, since it carries no sonar gear aboard, but then, that's the Navy for you...

Personally, I think gump just created a lot of new Democratic voters between those shut down and those laid off because of the shut down. Taking someone's paycheck away and telling them to visit a food bank or drive for Uber can tend to make people change party affiliation in my view.
