FBI may shift counterterror agents to anti-fraud
AP on Yahoo ^ | 2/11/09 | Devlin Barrett - ap

Posted on 02/11/2009 4:17:53 PM PST by NormsRevenge

WASHINGTON – With thousands of fraud investigations under way, the FBI is considering shifting agents away from counterterrorism work to help sort through the wreckage of the financial meltdown.

FBI Deputy Director John Pistole told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday that the bureau may reassign some of the positions that were reallocated to anti-terrorism work after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Such a move would be a further sign of the government breaking with the Bush administration's priorities, which pledged to assign every available resource to averting another terrorist attack.

The fraud they’ll investigate will be trumped up accusations against average Americans. They won’t go after the real perps - they have all the money and clout.

Sending big business people to jail is popular in tough times. Don’t forget piracy of CDs and movies. Big problem. Terror, uh, well, we’re talking to them.

His minions are simply players. Obama, on the other hand, is working his plan. I shudder when I consider how much worse it will yet become....particularly for those who put their hope and faith in armies, political parties, talk show hosts, their 401(k), etc.

May those who have ears to hear....hear.....

Yep....you are right on that.

This time it will be hundreds of thousands...a major US city. Obama and Osama will probably pick a big red state.

If the FBI is going to get serious on fraud investigations, first they should arrest all the bankers and financial con artists who gave to the Democratic Party and Obama’s presidential campaign.

Then arrest most chairmen of the House and Senate, and all of Obama’s top advisors and presidential appointees, nominees, and Cabinet officials.

That should cut fraud crimes down about 95%.

Meanwhile, back at Al Qaeda headquarters ...

One other thought on this:

I thought Obama wanted to ‘CREATE JOBS’? Why doesn’t he direct Holder to just hire more FBI agents?

I think we know the answer to that...He is the enemy inside the gate.

Yeah, good idea.

Put more emphasis on fraud (EVIL big business) and less on terror.

Hussein Obama's administration LOOKS alot like Clinton's.

Clinton spent more time getting serviced in the oval office and burning (with the help of the Federal Bureau of Incineration) pesky American Christian gun-owners to a crisp (including their women and CHILDREN), rather than taking terrorism seriously.

That REALLY worked out well for us, didn't it?

The timing is especially good, with Hussein Obama sucking up to known terrorists like Ahmadinejad in Iran (training and equipping murderers killing Americans in Iraq, planning on wiping Israel off the map, and building nuclear weapons with which to terrorize the non-Muslim world, etc.), closing Gitmo and bringing terrosists to the U.S., etc.

I see a suitcase nuke (thanks to the nutcase "suit" in our White House) in our future.

Hopefully, if that time comes, it will be used on the liberal democrat and "independent" idiots in D.C. (and their RINO cohorts), along with the gaggle of nameless/faceless bureaucrats and Jack-Booted-Thugs, responsible for harassing, terrorizing, and in some cases, murdering, innocent men, women, and children (and don't forget Randy Weaver's dog).

Then, we can look at the bright side of being able to start over and re-make our government and country as the Founding Fathers intended.

II Chron 7:14

We must put our faith in the Lord of Hosts...but we must also do our part and repent, turn to Him, and pray.

IMHO, part of repenting is doing all we can to right the wrong and that means being watchmen on the wall, educating and informing others of what is happening.

You expect two muslims to honor their word to each other? Osama will stab anyone in the back in a second.

NYC is the target, Chicago is second, DC is too hard a target now.

Obama is stabbing our entire country in the back!

The world is going crazy and with Obama at the helm now, of the most powerful country on earth....it is going to crash faster than anyone realizes.

The dots are there...I sure wish someone would connect them before it is too late.

At this point...it is hard to tell if Obama is just a leftist/marxist tool or a closet Islamist bent on the destruction of our country. But it appears that he is one or the other...or both.

The real perps are the Federal Reserve who have been manipulating the interest rates and caused the housing bubble and the ‘Rats in Congress who were tasked with overseeing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac but chose to turn a blind eye.

You're right - If the FBI would go after the right white-collar criminals, this would be a good move. Pelosi/Obama/Reid are guilty of fraud, and more, and they are a much greater danger to the United States than some pathetic terrorists whose dream in life is to die killing a few hundred or a few thousand women and children. As terrible as the next major terrorist attack against our families will be (and after 7 years of domestic safety under Bush, just about the only thing he got right, it will be Obama's fault), the TARP/Bailout/TARP2 fiasco will do even more damage than the most successful terrorist plan imagined by bin Laden and Ayers combined.

You make a good point, but I'm sure that, even with Hussein and his fellow DED (Domestic Enemy Dems) in charge, the terrorists STILL think of us as "The Great Satan".

After all, they are as irrational as our domestic vermin (liberal demonRATS).
