Time for FBI to go. No alternatives here.

I’m shocked, absolutely shocked! Next someone will be telling us that Covid was made by the ChiComs and that the vaccine is deadlier than the virus. Or that glow bull warming isn’t real. Or that Putin is near dead with cancer hiding in a bunker someplace trying to escape the Ukrainian special forces.

(for those that haven’t figured it out, the above is sarcasm)

They aren’t lost. They are in an evidence locker. Cough, cough…

Sovereign immunity? No one every told them they couldn’t do that! Theft by or on behalf of a government agency is not considered theft at all.

This is not a “one off” but instead happens more often than people realize.

I believe they also lied to the judge and disobeyed the parameters of the search warrant.

I wish we had a president that promised to drain the swamp and then ACTUALLY DRAINED IT.

What’s the difference between FBI (including all federal employees) stealing via unearned paychecks, robbing someone’s lockbox, or thievery through RICO?

Might as well have a crew from Sing Sing of Folsum running the FBI...

Yep.

The way that they did it shows their complete contempt for the Justice System.

If I, as a private citizen working for a private company, had done an audit like this I would not only have been fired I would be wearing some nice stainless steel jewelry and a tasteful orange jumpsuit.

But not only is that not happening they investigated themselves and found that they were perfect in every way.

People put things in home safes so that Uncle Sam doesn’t need to know what they own, or who gets it through an estate.

That's right. Give your kids each a few stacks of gold coins and avoid the 55% estate tax.

“Mellein was given the cash from his box, but none of his 110 gold coins. The FBI seemed to have no record of the missing coins as they weren’t listed on the property receipt of his box’s contents. When pressed for a copy of the video inventory of the box, the FBI said that in its rush to process so much property, it had abandoned its initial plan to film the process, completing inventory paperwork instead, according to the Institute for Justice.

Mellein sued the government to force the return of the coins in August 2021. Months later, the government found and returned 47 of them but told Melleine he must dismiss his lawsuit and file a claim with the FBI in order to track down remaining 63.”


Dear IRS,

It was too much trouble and time-consuming to keep track of my expenses. Here is what I calculated on the back of a napkin. It should be close enough for government work.

Signed,

taxpayer

If they have no bones about steeling elections and deposing legally elected Presidents, what’s a box of coins?

“Once the FBI broke into the box, we honestly don’t know exactly what happened.”

Wonder if Biden told them there are perks by working for me?.

This is an obvious lie. How long does it take to snap a picture of a box’s contents as opposed to a paper inventory?

This is the same FBI that, perhaps unique in the world, doesn’t record ‘interviews’ rather relying on agents’ notes as the official record of the interview.

Armed robbery is what this is and if a local or state prosecutor had a pair they’d go after this.

Not lost. They stole them of course. Nothing but gansters.

"Losing them"?

Anyone consider they must be hidden inside Hunter Bidens laptop?
