Tucker Carlson: There Are Good Reasons Why Many People Have Lost Faith In the FBI

FNC's Tucker Carlson reviews what was learned this week in court about the "plot" to "kidnap" the governor of Michigan during the 2020 election to highlight why many conservatives are losing trust in the FBI and federal law enforcement:

TUCKER CARLSON: By all accounts, Attorney General Merrick Garland was shocked to hear criticism of the raid on Mar-a-Lago last week. It turns out that Garland lives in such a tiny, airless world of left-wing activists and sycophants that it had never occurred to him that anyone might object to siccing the FBI on Joe Biden's political opponents.

When woke Twitter and The New York Times are your only sources of news, police state politics seems perfectly normal. Trump is bad. Find a reason to arrest him. That's how they think. So, if you watched Garland carefully at his press conference other day, you may have noticed that he appeared highly annoyed by the idea of having to stoop to explain himself to mere citizens. But he found a solution. Being a liberal, Merrick Garland's first instinct was to seize the role of victim because when you're a victim, you've already won the argument. You don't have to explain yourself. You don't have to change your behavior. You are, by definition, the good guy. The victim always is. Being oppressed means never having to say you're sorry.

So, as Garland explained at the press conference, the FBI was in fact the real victim here. Mean old Fox News was asking unfair questions and that's just wrong. So, the real problem isn't that America's most powerful law enforcement agency is dangerously politicized and corrupt. No, the real problem here is the people have dared to complain about it, and they must stop immediately or else they are domestic terrorists.

One reason is that people should not have any faith in traitors.

I used to think 99% of FBI agents were bad people. Now I honestly believe that number is 100%.

Not a single FBI agent came forward on Russiagate, Mar a Lago or the myriad other criminal nonsense the FBI was involved in.

Shut it down. It serves no useful purpose.....to law abiding Americans.

I know some retired agents. They are all good, honorable Christian men. Suspect the rot is more at the head of the fish. Clean out the leadership and let the agents do their actual jobs.
