Solid evidence that the FBI is totally penetrated, totally corrupt, yet claims they're the good guys

Mark Wauk is a retired FBI agent.  He also happens to have been the brother-in-law of a high-ranking FBI agent, Robert Hannsen, who was married to Wauk's sister.

If you're under 30 that name won't ring any bells, but...high-ranking FBI agent Hannsen spied for Russia for 22 years (1979-2001).  The DOJ described his work for Russia as "possibly the worst intelligence disaster in U.S. history."

Hanssen sold thousands of classified documents to the KGB revealing detailed U.S. strategies in the event of nuclear war, secret military weapons technologies, and possibly most damaging, details of U.S. counter-intelligence operations designed to identify Russian spies.[3]

In 1984 Hanssen moved to the FBI's Soviet analytical unit, which was responsible for finding Soviet spies in the United States.  Hanssen's section was in charge of evaluating Soviet agents who volunteered to give intelligence to determine whether they were genuine or were "plants" feeding mis-information.[17]  

Hanssen was spying at the same time as Aldrich Ames in the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Both Ames and Hanssen compromised the names of KGB agents working secretly for the United States, some of whom were executed for their betrayal. Hanssen also revealed a multimillion-dollar eavesdropping tunnel built by the FBI under the Soviet Embassy in Washington.

Hanssen gave Moscow details of the FBI's bugging activities and lists of suspected Soviet intelligence agents.  Among the most valuable American intelligence assets Hanssen betrayed to the Russians was Dmitri Polyakov, a CIA informant who gave extremely valuable information to American intelligence while rising to the rank of General in the Soviet Army.  Polyakov was arrested and executed.

In 1987, after two valuable U.S. assets in Russia were arrested and shot, the FBI gave Hanssen was given the job of studying all known and rumored penetrations of the FBI, to try to find who had told the Russians about the two assets.  This meant Hanssen was looking for himself.  Not surprisingly, Hanssen didn't admit his betrayal.  Also, he turned over all his findings—including a list of all Soviets who had contacted the FBI—to the KGB.[20]

That same year Hanssen was caught committing revealing secret information to a Soviet defector during a debriefing. This was a "serious security breach," and the agents working underneath him reported him to an un-named supervisor.  But amazingly (or not, depending on your viewpoint) no disciplinary action was taken.[3]
 
Around this time FBI agent Wauk's sister--Hanssen's wife--told Wauk about a conversation with Hanssen that troubled her:  Hanssen told her that the couple might retire in Poland, which was still considered a Soviet-bloc country that no American in his right mind would retire to.  Around the same time, another of Wauk's sisters told him she'd found $5,000 in cash in Hanssen's sock drawer.

Shortly afterwards Wauk learned that the FBI was looking for a "mole"--a spy--in their own counter-intelligence division.  After careful consideration Wauk told a supervisor that he suspected Hanssen might be the mole.

Astonishingly, the supervisor took no action whatsoever--yet told Wauk he'd "handled the matter"

This should have been a huge red flag.

When the Soviet Union collapsed in December 1991, Hanssen stopped communications with his handlers for a time.[27]  But the next year Hanssen made a risky approach to try to re-establish contact.  He went to the Russian embassy and approached an embassy officer in the parking garage. Hanssen identified himself by his Soviet code name, "Ramon Garcia," and described himself as a "disaffected FBI agent" who was offering to spy for the Russians.

The Russian officer, who evidently didn't recognize the code name, drove off.  Later the Russians filed a  protest with the State Department, believing Hanssen's offer was a setup.

Now follow this:  Despite the FBI learning that Hanssen was identified by face as being at the Russian embassy, and disclosing what he claimed was his code name, and having offered to spy for Russia, the FBI took no action whatsoever against Hanssen.

In 1997 convicted FBI mole Earl Edwin Pitts told the Bureau that he suspected Hanssen was a Russian mole.  Pitts was now the second FBI agent, after Wauk, to identify Hanssen by name as a possible mole.  But you'll be really surprised to learn that again, the corrupt or merely staggeringly incompetent supervisors at the FBI took no action whatsoever.[31]

Seeing a pattern here, citizen?

When the FBI wants to, it ignores the most blatant, factual evidence of spying at its highest levels.  But conversely, when it wants to prevent a candidate it doesn't like from winning an election, or to remove an elected president, it's perfectly comfortable using an unvetted, discredited dossier, paid for by the Democrat candidate, as the sole source to apply for warrants to wiretap members of the Trump campaign.  It's also perfectly comfortable inserting FBI "assets" into the campaign, wearing microphones.

Finally, when the DOJ's Inspector-General discovers these things, the FBI issues a carefully-worded non-denial,  saying "We never attempted to recruit anyone in the campaign to spy for us."  Correct--because all they did was insert spies into the campaign.  Which the FBI apparently thinks is just peachy, thanks.

Burn it down.  Fire them all.  Then take two or three years vetting their replacements.
