The latest complaint, among the deluge coming from Democratic mouths and hardcore Swamp RINOS, is that none of the Trump nominees are being 'vetted' by the unbiased investigative professionals at the *checks notes*...*spits* Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Not just no, but hay-yull, no.
Any self-styled expert who can even suggest it with a serious face should never be listened to again in any capacity. And you have to wonder who they're trying to curry favor with. Is it in the interest of transparency or someone/something else?
fbi checks are in place for a reason

Especially after what happened during Trump's first term.
Ask Michael Flynn.
Who was set up by the director of that very same, unbiased, totally professional bureau.
Oh, this smarmy, smug Comey schmuck.
No chance, Andy. Our former colleagues at the bu can’t be trusted. #Trump learned his lesson after Comey exploited his administration’s inexperience last time. The FBI’s hostility, bias and corruption towards Trump shows why it must be gutted to restore trust and legitimacy. 👇 https://t.co/rn66yTrxjY

It was not just the people around Trump or people assumed to support Trump...

...but the president himself.
As Molly Hemingway said, the agency is so corrupt; they have "no business" being anywhere near the folks selected to serve in Trump's second administration.
“It’s a completely corrupted department. There are still good people there, but overall, it’s a very corrupt agency. And the Department of Justice, of course, like you just talked about throughout the top part of the show, was engaged in trying to imprison and bankrupt Donald Trump,”
This is precisely why the Schiffs and Schumers of the world would love Christopher Wray's corrupted G-men climbing through the lives of nominees as they rifled through Melania's underwear.
Surely, there has to be a naughty bit in there somewhere they could exploit to tank the terrifying personalities chosen to occupy the top seats in the cabinet.
Pressure is coming from Republicans in the Senate to buckle to the bureau, though - some things never change. The harridan from Alaska is digging her harpy talons in (How surprised are you Dems operatives are cheering her on? Not at all, right?).
BREAKING: Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski just made a bold move, declaring she won’t support any of President Trump’s nominees unless they undergo full FBI vetting. This marks a significant development and could have major implications for the administration’s agenda. pic.twitter.com/h1iSABWvIF

Meanwhile, senators without massive profiles like Murkowski also tell media outlets that the "impasse" over submitting to the checks should be settled in a few days.
An impasse over FBI background checks for Trump's Cabinet nominees will likely be resolved “in the next few days,” a top Republican told reporters Monday.
“I do think there will be FBI background checks,” said Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi, the ranking GOP member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
The comments came amid fears the incoming Trump administration plans to bypass the customary step for top appointees, raising concerns about its vetting of candidates. The potential departure from protocol has sparked a debate about the necessity of reviewing the background of people who would hold high-level positions, with Democrats calling it a prerequisite.
Outgoing Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has urged Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, who will lead the Republican majority next year, to insist on thoroughly vetting Trump’s picks. Schumer said in a letter that Democrats are committed to a confirmation process that includes "reviewing standard FBI background-investigation materials."
Schumer is committed to reviewing "standard background materials' from the standard bearing bureau for unbiased investigations and expert analysis.
Oh, you better believe he is. Democrats want everything they have on these Trump people, and then some...if they can 'find' it.
An official at FBI headquarters in Washington is warning that the bureau’s security clearance division is politicized and can’t be trusted to screen President-elect Donald Trump’s nominees for top administration jobs.
The allegations of political bias at the FBI’s security division, or SecD, were revealed in a protected whistleblower disclosure sent to the House Judiciary Committee, which The Washington Times reviewed.
The official said the security clearance process has been “contaminated by the political agendas of [security division] officials and other executives in the FBI.”
It looks as if negotiations to solve the impasse may not go precisely as Schumer wanted, but it would still be a compromise. In fact, one used by other presidential transition teams, so how could Democrats and reluctant RINOS have any objections after that?
Bingo! That’s what I’ve been saying. The Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden Administrations did it.

Yeah, it is. Only this time around, Americans know what and who the FBI is, too.
...Now, our dear Lisa [Murkowski] wants to force Donald Trump to rely on the FBI for background checks before she will support nominees. That would be like requiring the mafia to approve all new bank tellers before they are hired. Nothing good will come of it.
We are in a new normal now. Trump recognizes the FBI for what they are. They are no longer an impartial law enforcement organization, but the praetorian guard protecting the deep state.
Lisa and her friends in the entrenched bureaucracy need to understand that justice is coming for those who have weaponized the government against the people. That is why the people reelected Donald Trump in a landslide victory. They want Trump to clean house of those that have broken the law and usurped our Constitution.
Trump’s campaign promise to root out Deep State corruption reminds me of the famous Wyatt Earp quotation from the movie Tombstone, where he says, “Tell ‘em I’m coming, and hell’s coming with me.” Get ready, Lisa. It’s 56 days until Trump’s inauguration.
The idea that "hell's coming" has got the Deep State frozen in fear and lashing out in panic.
Hold fast.
