Most important paragraph in the entire review:

In short, "Richard Jewell" is a movie for our time because on a micro level it encapsulates exactly what we have watched happen to President Donald Trump on a macro level: a politicized group of agents, completely biased and prejudiced to their own outcome, rig a case to frame someone without a shred of evidence. Anyone who says the movie is about anything else is not paying attention.Most of all, the film says in mirror form that if they can "do it to Richard Jewell, they can do it to Donald Trump, even if he's president."

Saw it today. Very well done.

Bates was just awesome. They all were.

The FBI has only gotten worse... they are evil and the whole agency should be shut down. They have too much power with no accountability. I wonder if something had been done to rein them in back in 96 if the whole Trump coup would ever have happened.

Must see.

Anyone who defends the conduct of the FBI in the treatment of Michael Flynn is blind to reality.

I stopped reading as soon as I saw Schweikhart’s name.
He’s arrogant and rude and thinks he’s better than you.

Shun him, he can do you no good.

He is better than you. But admittedly that’s not saying much.

“Shun him, he can do you no good.”

Love Larry, he’s awesome. This is a terrific review of the new Clint Eastwood film.
I’m definitely going to see it now.

Yes, must see. Especially now.And Jewell should have been publicly exonerated and apologized to. Disgrace all around.

Fortunately, you have taught me well. I ignore every opinion that you utter.

FBI is the Enemy of the People.

They are losers. They are a political enforcement arm of the criminal Democrats.

Well, maybe he IS better than me. His movie review was well written and fairly persuasive, and worth reading in any event.
