How the FBI deployed dummy companies, inside informers, and fake legislation to target California politicians.
The intrepid Julie Kelly wants an investigation of the aptly named “FBI-concocted Whitmer operation.” That operation and the ongoing proceedings over January 6 resulted from long FBI experience as a political strike force. Consider, for example, a bureau operation in California back in 1988.
“California Capitol shaken by FBI sting,” headlined a UPI story on September 4, 1988. “More than 30 federal agents carrying search warrants conducted an unprecedented raid on the Capitol offices of four leading lawmakers, seeking evidence of wrongdoing until the wee hours of the morning.” As it emerged in the report, the FBI had manufactured the evidence.
Gulf Shrimp Fisheries, which sought to build a food processing plant in West Sacramento to supply California restaurants, was actually a “dummy company set up by the FBI.” The FBI also established Peachstate Capital West Ltd., with an office one block from the California Capitol.
The FBI companies paid out nearly $60,000 in campaign contributions, including $11,500 to then-Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, $10,000 to Assembly Republican leader Pat Nolan, and $10,500 to Assemblywoman Gwen Moore, a Los Angeles Democrat.

The bureau did have one of its undercover agents shove $1,000 in cash under Brown’s office door, about as subtle as Max Bialystock’s bribe of the theater critic in “The Producers.” To the surprise of no one, a Brown aide returned the money.
State Attorney General John Van de Camp, a Democrat, charged that the FBI was “prejudging” legislative targets before any charges were filed. True to form, Brown emerged unscathed and Nolan pleaded guilty to a racketeering charge.

In 2019, President Donald Trump granted Nolan a full and unconditional pardon, but the story does not end there.

A difficult article to post within the 300-word limit.
” “There’s no reforming this monster,” writes Adam Mill. The FBI “needs to be scrapped before it’s too late.” “
God knows, I agree with that sentence. The FBI has been around in one form or another since 1896 and National Bureau of Criminal Identification. It has been reorganized, redefined, redesignated and renamed at least three times and still we have what can only be described as an American Staci. The next president needs to blow that bunch out of the water.
Thanks for posting. FBI should be torched.

The fbi does not have the right to break the law and violate peoples’ rights. It has the power, and has become an unlawful organization.
