Mike read your second sentence and tell me why these issues had to reported “off the record”? You have just admitted that our federal police force is compromised.

Because for a long time the FBI has had an explicit policy of not commenting on ongoing investigations, and only confirming the investigations if the top guys give permission.  And it's still this way.  Nothing to do with politics.  Everything to do with the fact that you don't want the bad guys to know you're watching them until it's too late.
