The FBI has proven itself capable of killing anyone who doesn't cooperate with it. It has proven itself capable of lying to get a warrant. It has proven itself capable of setting up criminal activity just to imprison political opponents. Why should we believe they didn't do any of that to Trump?
Is that how things work in a free country?

The fbi murdered innocent people. It is a corrupt organization.

Bovard was on top of this mess in the 90s while most folks were sleeping. His books “Freedom in Chains: The Rise of the State and the Demise of the Citizen”, “Lost Rights: The Destruction of American Liberty”, and “The Fair Trade Fraud” predicted the present.

His Cabin wasn’t “isolated”. Many of us live in areas called remote because access is by gravel or dirt road. Look at Boundary County Idaho road maps, and you’ll see that there is a good percentage of the county roads here are gravel. There is lots of discrepancies in articles to justify a wrong, and portray him as a terrorist.

The FIB’s reputation went up in smoke along with the Branch Davidians including a couple dozen children in Waco, TX.

"The men and women of the FBI,” Attorney General Merrick Garland Sean Hannity proclaimed, “are dedicated, patriotic public servants.”

James didn't mention[I wonder why] that it was William Barr as the AG during the Weaver raid. Who would later be Trump's pick as AG. Certainly a laugh at the face of people who wanted less deep state and more Constitution.

Everyone also forgets the FBI lab scandal of the 1990s where lab tests were falsified and innocent people went to jail.

The Ruby Ridge murders pinpoint the exact date that the FBI became a criminal organization.

While these reminders of events in the past are greeted with approval from many conservatives, the truth is that most of the country doesn’t remember them at all except for the narrative sold to the public that all the Ruby Ridge and Branch Davidian deaths were justified because they were armed terrorists.
Merely having arms brand you in any conflict with the government, much less firing back in defense of your life.

The Ruby Ridge murders pinpoint the exact date that the FBI became a criminal organization. Hardly.
It just pinpoints the incident in which they were caught with sufficient publicity to catch public attention.

Don’t forget it has proven itself capable of framing people it knows to be innocent... see Richard Jewell for an example of that.

The Bundy ranch standoff with BLM (Bureau of Land Managment) was bad optics for gov but they got revenge by assassinating LeVoy Fincum.

“Don’t forget it has proven itself capable of framing people it knows to be innocent... see Richard Jewell for an example of that.”
The FBI went out of their way to frame Richard Jewell all the while protecting Eric Rudolph.

Looks like they finally raided Mar-a-lago correctly this time.
