How Do We Regain Trust in the FBI?

Trust in the FBI cannot be regained until there is a reckoning. That can only come through accountability for bad actors.

Newsmax released an article this week that gives voice to further distrust of America’s once-premiere law enforcement agency. The column was based on a series of questions and concerns presented by Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) regarding the still murky details around the January 6th storming of the Capitol building. Two questions lobbed at the FBI are both haunting and disheartening:

“What did the FBI know? And when did they know it?”

The fact that the agency responsible for investigating the lawlessness of that date is itself under scrutiny is alarming. Regardless of how one feels about Americans -- patriots or paid agitators -- entering the Capitol building illegally is not germane to the questions surrounding the supposedly objective pursuit of justice by sworn law enforcement officers. Gaetz’s most damning volley came when he suggested the FBI is no longer acting under the auspices of their original mission and has taken the dubious position of engaging in political policing. If remotely true, it would seem to represent the final nail in the coffin for any chance at repairing the integrity of a federal investigative agency.

And that sentiment is not solely the domain of the congressman from Florida. A Pew Research study released last month demonstrated a sharp decline in trust in the government from a high of seventy-seven percent in 1964 to a low that has remained under twenty-five percent since 2007. If three-quarters of Americans have spent the last fourteen years distrusting the government at large, what does that say about the agencies entrusted with justice and public safety? Former FBI Director James Comey attempted to lay the mistrust at President Trump’s doorstep.

I think I realize exactly what is happening and I’m trying to wake others up. That’s the difference between me and most freepers. You have to be looking at the situation from 50,000 ft. This is 5 dimensional chess going on. Things are not as they appear. Anybody who believes Donald J Trump just gave it up and left office in capitulation is just not thinking straight.

In his recent Interview with Maria Bartiroma Trump said he decided not to go with the Insurrection act because he wanted everyone to see how bad it would be if things were run poorly. this is all necessary to wake the public up before he returns to office. Its not going to happen through the Supreme Court. The audits will be impossible to ignore. People will wake up very quickly. The military has all the evidence of foreign interference in our 2020 election. It was a digital Pearl Harbor. Due to this the military will be able to step in and remove the Manchurian candidate and restore power to the legitimate civilian government. In fact its their duty to do it.
