Charlie Dent is not a center-right Congressman, he is a right wing extremist.

Today, he is complaining about a New York Times article that cites approximately seven FBI agents. He states the FBI agents have no right to speak to the press as an anonymous source. That is exactly why long lived newspapers like The Washington Post, Miami Herald, Chicago Tribune, New York Times, LA Times and Boston Globe as examples, exist. They exist to buffer abuses by government and that frequently comes from FBI agents involved in operations that run into corruption and/or crime.

Republican U. S. Rep. Charlie Dent (click here) stunned his colleagues and constituents Thursday evening when the seven-term Lehigh Valley lawmaker announced that he will not seek re-election next year.

An outspoken figure within the dwindling center-right of the Republican Party, Dent has gained national prominence for this role within what he describes as the “governing” wing of the party. He is a co-chairman of the Tuesday Group, a caucus of moderates within the GOP, and from that post, he has called out colleagues who he views as blocking action in Congress...

When politicians complain about agents of any kind it is a red flag to ask the question, what is that politician doing wrong OR unable to do wrong for a crony? The politicians promise the sky and then find out they can't deliver the goods to their political cronies. 

So, ah, what is Charlie Dent doing wrong or wants to do wrong? He has no problem providing funding to US intelligence agencies on the Appropriation Committee.

Dent's voting record does not match his rhetoric;
