[old curmudgeon]

What a weird comment.

Explain how a thank you would express my belief as to what the FBI, the CIA and other similar government agencies have become.

Is it unreasonable or perhaps forbidden to mention what I conclude from reading a post?

Presenting your conclusion would have been “mature”.

I think I understood the context the Old Curmudgeon meant the comment in, though I suspect it sounded perhaps more acid than it was meant...but I didn't take it that way.

I viewed it as much the same way I feel about it...both comments "...That we do have a secret police who believe that they are accountable to no one..." and "...If this mindset is allowed to continue we will shortly lose our freedom..." are undeniably true...ESPECIALLY the first one.

They all thought (Obama, Hillary, Comey, Mueller, Strzok, Page, Clapper, Brennan, Feinstein, Schiff, frankly, all of the Democrat Party and a significant portion of the Republican Party) the laws that govern the FISA process were there to be bypassed by those like them who assert to "have the best interests of our country at heart"...or so they like to have the sheeple think. We all know it is about obtaining, holding, and exercising power over others.

The fundamental jewel on which our Republic moves is the Rule of Law, not the rule of men. If people think they are doing a good thing by ignoring or bypassing our law (instead of addressing it and changing the law) because they "think it is the best thing for our country" then we are not a Republic, we are a Banana Republic.

A thank you for consolidating what is probably already known, but is now formatted in a short vanity.

Some of us need bumper sticker information.
