James Comey

"'Trump’s illicit foreign ties constituted a profound national security threat, but few US officials would acknowledge it during the campaign season. One exception was Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, who wrote an open letter to FBI Director James Comey in August 2016, warning him that the election was under attack. Citing evidence of a direct connection between the Russian government and the Trump campaign, Reid wrote that Russian operatives sought to falsify election results and begged Comey to give the American people the full story before they went to the polls. Comey refused, and refused again after Reid wrote a follow-up letter in October.'"

Comey took Semyon Mogilevich, the head of the Russian Mafia, off the FBI's "ten most-wanted" list for undisclosed reasons. His predecessor Robert Mueller had put Mogilevich on there and promised to keep him there until he was caught.
