Quote of the Day:
I want all of my new special agents and intelligence analysts to understand the FBI’s history [of] interaction with Dr. [Martin Luther] King and draw from it an understanding of the dangers of falling in love with our own rectitude. And the importance of being immersed in that design of the founders with oversight by the courts and Congress so that we don’t fall in love with our own view of things.
James Comey (2014)
