Donald Trump and Richard Jewell: Victims of FBI and Media Witch Hunts: When new information, other facts that exonerated Jewell were revealed, the FBI and the media steadfastly refused to consider them. Sound familiar? Russia Hoax?

The series Manhunt, Deadly Games is streaming on Netflix.  It tells the story of Richard Jewell, the security guard falsely accused of being the Olympic Park bomber in Atlanta, 1996.  Clint Eastwood made a film about Jewell, too, which was quite good.  But the series is better.  It consists of ten episodes that carefully expose how the FBI and the media developed a narrative that fit their version of the facts… and then they stuck to it.  

When new information, other facts that exonerated Jewell were revealed, the FBI and the media steadfastly refused to consider them.  Sound familiar?  Russia hoax?

At Olympic Park in Atlanta in 1996, Richard Jewell was employed as a security guard.  He’d always wanted to be a policeman, but a security guard was what he was at the time and he took the job seriously.  He’d been trained to be on the lookout for unattended packages or backpacks, so when he saw one, he reported it.  

His superiors were not inclined to take him seriously but he was insistent, so they humored him.  The bomb tech confirmed his suspicions, people were quickly cleared from the area, most but not all.  The bomb went off; one woman was killed, many were injured but Jewell had saved countless lives.  

He was momentarily a hero but three days later an FBI profiler suggested that Jewell could be the “hero/bomber,” a nutcase who planted the bomb in order to become a hero.  The FBI liked this theory, and so did an aggressive reporter at the Atlanta-Journal Constitution, Kathy Scruggs.  She put it out in her paper, the national media took the bait and Jewell’s life was destroyed.

HERE's ANOTHER HOAX ( SURPRISINGLY, ATTORNEY LIN WOOD GOT INVOLVED AGAIN ):

Think of Nick Sandmann, the young man the media decided to skewer as arrogant and smug because he remained calm in the face of some pretty combative harassment.  The media, print and electronic, were vicious.  They meant to destroy the life of the sixteen-year-old who had attended a pro-life march with his Catholic school class and they nearly did.  Sandmann eventually won the defamation cases filed against news outlets that had eviscerated him in the media.  Jewell, too, won a defamation case, but he died of diabetes in his forties. 

The deadliest campaign to destroy a man in recent history is, of course, the left’s unrelenting campaign to ruin Donald Trump, before, during and apparently after his term in office, his second term, in my opinion, having been blatantly stolen by the swamp establishment that had vowed in 2016 to subvert his re-election by any means necessary.  

In Trump’s case, the FBI, DOJ, CIA, the Clintons, Obamas and the machine of the deep state all colluded to destroy one man.  They fear Trump like they’ve never feared anyone before. They still do, which is why they are maniacally trying to find a way to prevent him from ever running for office again.  They want to cancel him.

Citizens need to absolutely shun the FBI. No cooperation. Immediately request legal counsel if an FBI agent so much as asks you for the time of day. And invoke your 5th amendment rights. The FBI is the enemy of truth and justice.

And Lin Wood defending the FBI target in both cases. Similarly he defended the JonBenet Ramsey family. Plus, similarly for some time, Kyle R.

Coincidence?

Just watched the Richard Jewell movie. Well done! I’ve always suspected Clinton was involved in the rush to judgment against Jewell.

I used to have FBI friends, but no longer. Their loyalties are to the corrupt communist regime.

We've learned a hell of a lot in the last 4 years haven't we?.... that the "deep state cabal" within our government agencies runs America and not on behalf of the American citizens!

NOTHING BUT TRAITORS!

Watch the documentary movie about Delorean with Alec Baldwin. The FBI entrapped him big time.

The FBI was compromised by Hillary (remember the 900 FBI files?) and while she was first lady she began to put people in positions that she would be able to count on later for keeping her backside undisturbed as she became president.

That is where we got Comey and all of them that have continued to give Trump the business, cuz they are still working for Hillary.

Remember what the FBI, led by Comey, did to Martha Stewart? That is what Hillary wanted the FBI to do to Trump, set him up with the Russian hoax thing so he would ultimately do a sizable term in prison.

Manhunt, Deadly Games and Snowden are two Netflix streaming mini-series worth watching.

Snowden is Oliver Stone's interpretation, but it still reveals a lot about what we have know to know as the Deep State.

I can relate. I was at London's Gatwick Airport a couple of months after 9/11 and I saw an unattended bag in the passenger lounge, so I reported it. They did nothing; didn't even send someone around to look at it and made no announcement over the PA system. Nothing happened and I noticed an hour or two later the bag was gone. In the meantime, I sat as far as possible from that unattended bag.

Public employees are ALL lazy & arrogant.
The words ‘urgent’ and ‘excellence’ do not exist if you are ‘lucky’ enough to find yourself working for the ‘borg’.
The FBI have this problem on steroids.
In the future I will assume everything a FBI agent says is a lie without physical evidence.

I haven’t believed the FBI ever since the Delorean case.
