F.B.Lie

Obama's administration has not only enriched our linguistic stock in new vocabulary, but made us learn new definitions the hard way. See, billions of dollars are not missing: they were "misplaced"; blatant lies translate to "misspeaking" and false testimony is just a "misstatement". Following the same line of unique "ethics", the FBI created "mis-investigation". In a riveting article: "Comey Seems Blind to the Truth about Lying"(Bloomberg, April 19,2018), a professor of law at Yale University, Stephen L. Carter  offers both a thorough analysis of Comey's new book and a professional evaluation of the former FBI director's attitude to the truth and to "people". To put it in FBI nutters' nut shell: Comey's "people" equal Obama's "folks", and law enforcement personnel is above the crowd of commoners. As to ex-FBI Directors sense of ethics, professor Carter depicts: "As I've noted before in this space, police officers and federal agents alike are free to deceive us as they please to get what they want. They can lie about what evidence they have, what the forensics show, what someone else down the hall is confessing at this moment. We're just not allowed to lie back."
