Having exposed the mutinous divide between the FBI and The Department of Justice, it appears the drip-drip-drip leaky bucket has turned into a spigot as The Guardian cites several seriously pissed off agents describe the FBI as "Trumplandia."

As The Hill details, in a report published Thursday, multiple sources within the FBI say that deep antipathy toward Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and anger that FBI Director James Comey did not bring charges against her this summer have motivated leaks that could damage her presidential campaign.

One agent told The Guardian that many at the bureau view Clinton as the "antichrist" and are supportive of Trump.

The currently serving FBI agent said Clinton is "the antichrist personified to a large swath of FBI personnel," and that "the reason why they're leaking is they're pro-Trump."

"The FBI is Trumpland," said one current agent.

But another FBI source disputed the level of support Trump has within the bureau, according to The Guardian.

"There are lots of people who don't think Trump is qualified, but also believe Clinton is corrupt," the source said. "What you hear a lot is that it's a bad choice, between an incompetent and a corrupt politician."

According to the report, the tensions boiled over in July when Comey declined to recommend charges against the Democratic presidential nominee for possibly mishandling classified information through her use of a private email server to conduct government business, according to the FBI agent.

"Many FBI agents were upset at the director, not because he didn't [recommend to] indict, but they believe he threw the FBI under the bus by taking the heat away from DoJ [Department of Justice]," the former bureau official said.

As The Hill concludes, there have been further leaks about internal fights within the FBI and other possible investigations since the Comey news broke, all of which has suggested an agency in a public war with itself.

Comment: Another peek into the factional war going on between elite power groups seeking to control the U.S. The Guardian article gives a bit more background on the mood in the FBI:

Deep antipathy to Hillary Clinton exists within the FBI, multiple bureau sources have told the Guardian, spurring a rapid series of leaks damaging to her campaign just days before the election.

Current and former FBI officials, none of whom were willing or cleared to speak on the record, have described a chaotic internal climate that resulted from outrage over director James Comey's July decision not to recommend an indictment over Clinton's maintenance of a private email server on which classified information transited.

This atmosphere raises major questions about how Comey and the bureau he is slated to run for the next seven years can work with Clinton should she win the White House.
