Yes, the FBI is America's secret police
The Hill ^ | 12/11/17 | James Bovard

Posted on 02/01/2018 12:23:00 PM PST by SoFloFreeper

Politifact delivered a “pants on fire” slam to Fox News on Friday because one of its commentators asserted that the Federal Bureau of Investigation “has become America's secret police.” The FBI has legions of new champions nowadays among liberals and Democrats who hope that its probes will end Donald Trump’s presidency....

...the FBI explicitly teaches its agents that “the FBI has the ability to bend or suspend the law to impinge on the freedom of others.” No FBI official was fired or punished when that factoid leaked out because this has been the Bureau’s tacit code for eons. Similarly, an FBI academy ethics course taught new agents that subjects of FBI investigations have "forfeited their right to the truth."

Who knew that so many feds were such spineless no-integrity cowards?

we need a force as being “just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded” as the U.S. military

There have to be Whistleblowers in all these agencies who have already talked.

Democrat Dick Durbin knew in 2012 the FBI was crooked.

The FBI spying on us? They're amateurs. The pros are Google and Facebook.

Dirty cops in the FBI, working with dirty prosecutors in the DOJ. Reads like a cheap novel:

Read Jerry Spence...Police State...

The DOJ and FBI have been corrupt for thirty years.

The ten or fifteen percent of FEDS who are crooked are never punished..

You are never save from the law...if someone wants you in jail they can pretty much get you...

Your case may we won appeal..but then your reputation is shot

Yep, Obama said that just once on the campaign trail, probably in error or hubris (or both), but now we know what he meant.

When it’s the FBI against We the People, the FBI doesn’t stand a chance.

Yes, OBAMA TURNED the FBI INTO America’s secret police.

But Obama’s coup attempt has failed and the good guys (us - “U.S.”) are going to take these bad guys down to Chinatown and restore our Free Constitutional Republic.

Joe Digenova and his wife are representing several.

That’s why his interviews as of late have been very direct as to the illegality in the FBI and Just Us Department.

All this stuff going public is ammo for his clients cases.
Stuff the Agencies claimed wasn’t true or wouldn’t produce in discovery. Much Like Lerner and the IRS emails.
