Patriots need to be aware that the FBI is infested with leftist traitors. This is not your daddy’s FBI. They are mercenary traitors. Most don’t have an IQ above 70.

“Ahem...” to the commenters at Salon.com who can’t seem to see this is bigger than blaming Bush. Bush planted, Obama watered, and FBINSADHSBATFE (pbu’em) gave the increase.

They can’t figure out that terrorists are going to attack in Boston, but they know how many people ordered a pizza from Pizza Hut. This is what happens when the third string junior high football team gets elected into the NFL.

The first matter to wrap your head around is the fact that the FBI is infested with mercenary traitors.

The FBI should be given no information. They should be considered as cockroaches that slipped into your bed.

“Most don’t have an IQ above 70.”

I believe it was passed just for the abuse of power we are now seeing. I thought so then. I know so now. And it is only going to get worse.
