It’s not the least bit outrageous. The FBI has zero credibility with millions of Americans, including me. There are no reforms that will restore that credibility. The FBI must be shuttered and it’s functions move to state and local law enforcement. No one working at the FBI should ever work in government again at any level. Some are corrupt and the rest are complicit in their silence and inaction. People lose their jobs everyday in the private sector. It should be the same in the public sector.
1. DHS was only supposed to be a place where the various agencies would send a representative so they could deconflict investigations and aid in helping each other. Instead of the compartmentalization that occurred pre9/11
2. As with all thing government, they grow out of control. Exotically when it come to guys with guns.
DHS has armed agents to protect the Homeland. FBI has armed agents to protect the Homeland.
Sooooo…..why do we need two agencies doing the same thing?
When asked about the FBI raid on former President Donald Trump’s home in Palm Beach, Fla., professor, author, and political commentator Victor David Hanson said, “right now, we don’t have the rule of law in Washington,” and added that, “The FBI is beyond redemption.”

Please let me know if you want on or off this new VDH ping list.
Not one department in our federal government that people trust.
Even the Soviet Union had to reimage their secret police several times due to bad behavior. The Cheka became the NKVD became the KGB.
Of course the name change didn’t change the behavior. We are not Communist yet, so maybe a dismantling will do the job. We also need to get rid of some of these similar agencies created under the name of “Homeland Security”.
VDH looks as somber as I have ever seen him.
Over the past two years, Prof. Hanson has been steadily more and more alarmed about the extreme police and totalitarian state arising in the USA and he is no longer holding his punches. I've been surprised at his tone in his podcasts, but it is entirely consistent with this new statement. He does continue to say he knows a lot of rank and file at the FBI and other government agencies, that they are good people, and it is the corrupt and thoroughly rotten leadership that is the problem. But the underlings are not voting with their feet to leave the rotten and corrupt organizations. I wonder how long before he begins to say that the rank and file "just following orders" are a problem, too.
Hanson right this time
He’s about a 75% er

It was a very powerful monologue
Victor Davis Hanson is a VERY SERIOUS THINKER.
Pay attention.
Who knows if President Trump reads this site? Rhetorical question. I am moved to send this praise song all of us. Keep praising God. Praise God. Lift your hands and sing praises. No matter what.

I was sure by now
God, You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
And once again
I say, “A-men” and it’s still rainin’
But as the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”
And as Your mercy falls
I’ll raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away
And I’ll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I’ve cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry, You raised me up again
But my strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can’t find You?
But as the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”
And as Your mercy falls
I’ll raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away
And I’ll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I’ve cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The maker of heaven and earth
I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The maker of heaven and earth
(I lift my eyes unto the hills)
(Where does my help come from?)
And I’ll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I’ve cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
Though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
And though my heart is torn
(Though my heart is torn)
I’ll praise You in this storm
(Praise You in this storm)
Return here in the morning!
The US is beyond redemption.
The union needs to be dissolved.
We need people of courage in Congress and today we don’t have enough. Men and women of courage would outlaw all Federal police powers save for Secret Service and the US Marshals.
> “To hear Hanson saying this should alarm people. He is not the type of man who engages in outrageous talk. He means this, for real.”
This is very true. VDH is not at all prone to stretch facts and events into hysterics.

The FBI can be shut down with a simple executive order. They were created by executive order. USC 28 Chapter 33.
