I have a hunch if the FBI had their way, they would not have found those documents.
Give him time to hide/destroy them? Yeah, that's a great idea.

I can only see it as an attempt to interfere with justice. Close the investigation, with all the evidence building up? Corruption.

I don't disagree. Our takes are compatible.
If the FBI got its way, he could easily have hidden/destroyed the documents.
No documents - no evidence. No evidence - no investigation.
Then, he/they would rail about a "witch hunt".
The DOJ would still have the documents that were initially surrendered, but finding that whole collection that was deliberately withheld made the case much stronger.
You really have to wonder how compromised the FBI is.

I wonder why Wray still has a job.
And DeJoy, and a few other holdovers from Trump's War on Truth. Biden could fire DeJoy now, I believe he has the votes, and I can't fucking understand why he hasn't. Same with Wray.

Nope. He can't.
The U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors has sole authority to hire and fire the postmaster general, the highest position in the organization. Though pressure mounts from Democrats and watchdogs to remove DeJoy from his seat at the top of the agency, Biden lacks the power to do so.

Until an absolute majority of those on the Board of Governors vote to remove him, he stays.

Unfucking believable. This shit is why I believe Trump will never see the inside of a cell. He has toadies at every level of government and they will prevaricate until the guy is in a grave. Embarrassing.
There were a couple of new Governors appointed in December, I understood that Biden now had the votes he needed. I can't find anything recent, however.

If that is the case, why the fuck does he still have a job?
Another reason I am sick and tired of President Biden.

I'm sick of the whole government. Such weak ass pussies. Everyone is so afraid of optics and not wanting to step on criminals' toes. Fuck me sideways.
Well there a Trump appointee at the top, next question.

Now, which side of the FBI leaked this and why? I have trouble seeing it come out of the DOJ, not much else has.

Sure sounds like many in DC need to review the chain of command! Embarassing!

Yep, this is part of the power of the whole RWNJ faction. They bend rules in favor of their own, always.
The FBI was always kinda problematic with politics, look at Hoover. He intended to lead the President and all the top US politicians around by th enose, and he succeeded with a damn lot more than he should have.

Hmmm. The brass at the hardass FBI lacked the institutional courage to man up and do the obvious, when the time came, in D.C.
Appropriations, No agency will take action that results in budget cuts, or worse. being merged with a more politically adept agency,
Andy Biggs (R-AZ) publicly called for use of the Holman Rule to “start defunding… the FBI, the DOJ.” Others in the Freedom Caucus have echoed Biggs’ call for defunding the FBI and Department of Justice. The Freedom Caucus is led by Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA), a major figure in the plot to overturn the 2020 election results, whose cell phone was seized by the FBI last year as part of the January 6th investigation.
