Any agent with an ounce of integrity would have resigned by now.

I hope you are wrong. It is troubling to see how far my former profession has fallen. I’ve spent many hours on FR defending, explaining, trying to get others to understand the seizure process, but this is beyond the pale. Again, if this is as reported, the FBI is nothing more than thieves with badges. If nothing is done to stop the slide, God help this country.

Well they’re for the presidential body guard which if history serves they’ve not done a real good job.

I wonder if Hannity still thinks they are mostly good.

The more I hear about Hannity the less I’m liking him; he always, always, always talks over a guest when the guest is trying to answer a question Hannity raised.

You make a lot of sense, too much for today’s government and courts.

Defund the FBI. They are a criminal organization.

In a lawsuit filed on April 26, Linda R.'s attorneys argue that the FBI "failed to account for or return" 40 gold coins worth an estimated $75,000 that had been stored in a safe deposit box housed at U.S. Private Vaults. Department of Justice documentation detailing the contents of Linda's box makes note of "miscellaneous coins" without any specific amounts or other identification of the coins—Linda's attorneys note that the description could apply to everything from a pair of pennies to a box full of 1933 double eagle gold coins, some of the rarest and most valuable coins ever minted. For now, it remains unclear whether the government even possesses an accurate accounting of what was in her safe deposit box when it was seized.

Any bets on how much of that went into agent's pockets?

“each box is being considered on a case-by-case basis, and we will investigate the boxes, or claims made on them” to determine if “the contents are related to criminal activity.”
= = =

So you tell the FBI that you had ‘so and so’ in the box, but you forget something and mistakenly add something.

Lying to the FBI = criminal activity.

Why? There is a statue of limitations for almost everything else? There is no justification for this kind of thievery. I have long considered any agent of the government at any level to be an adversary to be avoided whenever possible. This is just another reason to add to the list of why that is true.
