Mueller says the agency has been "busy with a lot of other stuff" during the 10-year span.
After confirming that the FBI does indeed have more than 13,000 special agents deployed to investigate cases all across the country, Mueller stressed that the bureau's internal process was "complicated," and that the fact that not one case file has been closed in the past decade is not unexpected.
According to records, the last case the FBI officially solved was a Topeka, KS mail fraud offense in February 2001.
"It's hard to explain to a layman precisely how our operations work, but it's really more about analyzing crimes than it is about actually, you know, arresting perpetrators and convicting them," a fidgeting Mueller said. "It's a process, is what I'm trying to say. It isn't always so simple as 'solved' and 'unsolved.' That's been especially true this decade, I think."
"Besides, solving crimes, per se, is relatively basic," Mueller added. "We're trying to set our sights a little higher, is the thing."

It's hard to explain to a layman how it works, but it's really more about wasting our tax dollars than, you know, doing something. It's a process, not as simple as, you know, did they actually try? Or did they not try? They're setting their sights a little higher, like, maybe something will get done in the next decade.

So if every case never closes. Job security. I don't blame them. Actually it is a good idea to tell us we are too dumb to understand what we are paying for. Just pay up and shut up.

We might as well take the 7.9 Bill that the FBI gets & divide it between the states police forces seeing as we don't really need the FBI per Robert Muller

I really like what he had to say. He is absolutely right. Sure, it would be nice to see more corrupt brought down, but they'd only be replaced by another corrupt individual in many cases.

While it's a shame teachers are laid off, our society needs to take a very serious look at itself and it appears the FBI is doing just that.

I believe the FBI's hands were tied judicialy. I still believe competiveness between agencies ( including Homeland Security ) bottlenecks and unneccessarily complicates cases.

Law enforcement is the biggest mafia in the world. Their main job is not solve crime but to enforce payment by us paupers. If we don't pay they lock us up in debters prisons.
And I am not talking about not paying your credit cards. They want your taxes and they confiscate your property for smoking pot.

This may help. A more factual headline would be,"The FBI has not found a 'Right' outlined in the Constitution that cannot be ignored or circumvented!"

Wow!
CBI of India is one up.
They know where the culprits are but they will look elsewhere.
Worst is they have all the evidence which the Top Honcho will admit after retirement.

One of the major reasons for the creation of the Dept of Homeland Security during the Bush Administration was to sweep as many Federal investigative Bureaus as possible into one department, overseen by a trusted political lieutenant. Unitary control means no loose cannons, no embarrassing directions of investigation, no complicated second opinions or priorities..

What do you know, Bush did manage to destroy the FBI. I guess that is why Attorney General Holder has not done anything yet. 10 years of padding the payroll doing REAL work for Homeland security instead of catching crooks, it is easier to be their lapdog instead of working for the people. After all they spent so much time looking at "suspicious american activity" instead of criminal activity like Bernie Maddoff. USELESS PUNKS FIRE THE BUMS.

HEY!!!!!
It's from the Onion!!!
Final sentence of article says:
"When asked for an accounting of the bureau's $7.9 billion budget, Mueller said a significant portion of those funds were dedicated to eliminating those who question the FBI's accounting."
This should really be in Comedy. But it is funny.
