The FBI director couldn’t stop himself from posting news that shouldn’t be public.

This administration is an insult to all of us who actually take national security seriously.

    I’m confused by this whole story. How were the Hostage Response Team or even Mexican police involved if he was surrendering himself at the US embassy? I’m also confused by his lawyer’s account about being surprised to be handcuffed. How did he think this was going to work?

    Isn’t this like a slam dunk for Weddings legal defense? The FBI doesn’t have legal jurisdiction to operate outside of the US… Isn’t this basically admitting to violating his 4th amendment rights?
