The fbi and cia are operating like a mob organization; outside the law. The laws are to keep the prols in check.

Hi.

One time, long long ago, I trusted the U.S. government.

I thought the DoJ, FBI, IRS, ATF, NIH etc were the good guys. There to protect and serve their fellow citizens.

I thought the courts would hear cases of national importance and decide the cases in accordance with the Constitution.

I thought our legislators had the best interest of all their constituents.

I thought the elections weren’t rigged.

Well, that was a long time ago.

I wonder how many of the 800 cheered when the FBI was attacking Trump with false allegations, 5 am arrests of Trump supporters for no apparent reason.

I find it hard to really care about them, yeah I know the FBI is totally corrupt along with the DOJ but now they know too as do their leftist friends

"I just put in a claim for the box containing $1 million in $100 bills!

I assume you are joking, and even if you actually had that stashed away there, and they did confiscate it, the way things are, you would have to prove that you got every dollar of the money through legitimate means, and had paid the taxes on it, before you would see a cent of it back. And be very lucky to get it back even then.

If you read the fine print when renting a bank safe deposit box, you’ll see your stuff is not safe even in a bank. Whatever you put in a bank safe deposit box, make sure it’s something you can afford to lose.

I just retired after 50 years in the bank security business. In that time I have opened hundreds of safe deposit boxes. the majority were non payment of rent. Those boxes are opened in presence of bank officers and notary publics.
I have also opened boxes from warrants for FBI, DEA, ATF and IRS. No one except agents see the contents of those boxes and they just bag the stuff up and take it.
Pretty unusual to seize the whole vault, banks and S&Ls have there own group of feds over them, FDIC etc.
I have less experience with the private vaults, I would guess your hometown cop dept. could raid and shut them down.

All FBI agents work for a corrupt department and they let a coup d’etat take place right in front of their noses. Not a single one of them were whistle-blowers. So... yes.

We’re all SS officers in Hitler’s Germany corrupt?

The original 1933 Double Eagles were never issued, and some were stolen. They are all the property of the US Government, even 100 years from now.........................

“So long as they (the Proles) continued to work and breed, their other activities were without importance. Left to themselves, like cattle turned loose upon the plains of Argentina, they had reverted to a style of life that appeared to be natural to them, a sort of ancestral pattern...Heavy physical work, the care of home and children, petty quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult.”
― George Orwell, 1984

The scenario you have concocted relevant to this is a non-sequitur and straw man, as the chances of any 1933 Double Eagles being in those boxes is vanishingly small. Regardless of the contents of the boxes, the government had no right to even open them, according to their own warrant.

What they are doing in this instance is a clear violation of not only the law, but the Constitution as well. The government is apparently comprised mostly by thieves.
