The forty-two seconds of the Rumble video embedded below are truly shocking. Courageous journalist Sharly Attkisson testifies to a congressional hearing about the depths to which the FBI has sunk in its attempts to discredit one of its most effective critics.
In case you don’t know, while she was working as a reporter for CBS, Ms. Attkisson’s work and home computers were invaded and taken over by the FBI, evidently because she had incurred their ire over her reporting. You can watch the CBS report on the incursion here: (youtube video at link, this is not the referenced Rumble video)
Armed with considerable evidence, she has sued individual agents and has already received one default judgment in her favor. As she explains here:
Multiple forensics exams concluded that numerous devices used by Attkisson were remotely compromised including, but not limited to:
CBS Toshiba Laptop Apple iMac Desktop MacBook Air Mobile devices, including Blackberry
Forensics exams were conducted from 2013 to present by:
Confidential government source (CBS Toshiba Laptop) CBS-hired forensics firm (CBS Toshiba Laptop and iMac Desktop) Independent forensic examiner #1 (CBS Toshiba Laptop, iMac Desktop and other devices) Department of Justice Inspector General (iMac Desktop, only) Independent forensic examiner #2 (CBS Toshiba Laptop, iMac Desktop and other devices) Independent forensic firm (CBS Toshiba Laptop, iMac Desktop and other devices) Most recently, I received a clerk's default against one of the guilty federal agents I'm suing. Discovery is underway with another defendant, an ex-Secret Service agent imprisoned on a different corruption crime, whom DOJ is using your tax money to hire private counsel to defend.

So, how low will the FBI go trying to fight her? Watch and try to control your anger: (Rumble video at link)

The SES element of the federal government and public sector unions have done irreparable damage across the board. SESs handpick their folks. Their folks can do what they want. That carries over to others.
Pretty soon, it becomes a system where everyone has or tries to get dirt on the other person and they use it against one another.
They wouldn’t work a lick. They’re too good for that.
Don't replace with federal agents at all. There are aspects of law enforcement which should be retained on a federal level, such as the crime lab, communications, but all the actual field work should be carried out by the LEOs of the various states. It would be a sort of domestic Interpol, but with no arrest powers, existing for the sole purpose of coordinating LEOs, some of which could be designated with investigation and arrest powers across state lines. A state issued special agent badge recognized across the nation, but ultimately accountable to the state issuing it.
The head of the federal coordinating office could be a sheriff or state police commander designated by the state legislature to serve as one of a pool of 50 from which to choose in a random selection every 3 years to serve in that position for same.
Why aren’t jail house lawyers filing multiple RICO cases against the Keystone K-Kops? At this point, you have to ask yourself: “What’s worse - the crooks in jail or the crooks in government?”

You are not alone in this, Blennos. I was uneasy about the FBI beginning in the Nineties, and I began to have real concerns about the FBI after I read Jayna Davis' peerless book about the Oklahoma City Bombing, "The Third Terrorist".
When I read it, I didn't want to believe it.
But Jayna Davis is no conspiracy theorist, she was a well known investigative reporter who was highly regarded by the community and her peers as someone with a high bar for honesty, and accuracy.
The more she investigated it, the more she found that painted the FBI in not only an unsavory light, but in a light that painted them as manipulative of the law up to and beyond the point of breaking it in the effort to align with and achieve political goals. The lying and deception she documents in detail leaves the reader with no other choice than to accept that the FBI had a predetermined outcome they wanted to pursue for reasons handed down from the leadership at the FBI.
Even then, back in the Nineties, readers had to wonder: "Where are the good FBI people who would speak out against this?"
She met precious few.
And now we have this.
So many like me, who early in our lives were exposed to the likes of Cronkite, Huntley, and Brinkley, were led to believe that every single thing that came out of their mouths was the truth as if God would speak it, only discovered as the years passed that what we thought was news was really political advocacy couched in a deliberately concocted cloak of pious fake integrity.
These were institutions we were told were unreproachfully trustworthy. The nightly news. The FBI. The DOJ. To publicly not accept them as fully trustworthy and beyond approach and worthy of full cooperation would have led many to be viewed by their fellow Americans with a degree of suspicion. And that is how we were raised. They were on our side.
At some point in the past, if the FBI knocked on my front door, I would have easily invited them in, offered refreshments, and spoken freely to them without a lawyer present. I would not have had the least suspicion of anything untoward.
Just as General Michael Flynn honestly felt when FBI agents Strzok and Pientka made a trip to the White House in order to deliberately entrap him, or get him fired as described in the words of Bill Priestap (who was at that time head of the FBI's Counterintelligence division): "What is our goal? Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?"
General Flynn made the understandable mistake, as so many Americans have over the years have, of assuming that he and the FBI were on the same team, working towards the same goals, and nothing could be further from the truth. He easily invited them in, didn't even think for a second that the White House Counsel should have been present. He thought it was a "Blue siding with Blue" meeting.
All this, with the official documentation of the meeting being not a video, not a voice recording, but the handwritten notes (the infamous "302 forms") compiled by corrupt and evil FBI agents, who would then buff those notes of "what really happened", send them to the 7th Floor at FBI headquarters, where they would be altered by leadership to say exactly what needed to be said, and which bore no resemblance to the truth.
And these documents (the infamous "302 forms") are treated in our legal system as "God's Truth" and "Fact" even though they are a "reality" contrived and constructed by a group of people who do not have the best interests of our citizens or our country at heart.
Their fealty is to a specific political body, which Sundance over at The Conservative Tree House has defined as "the Fourth Branch of the US Government..."The Intelligence Branch". So, instead of "Truth" being the goal in the FBI's various dealings over the years with American citizens, the various goals of those interactions were and are "admission", "entrapment", "set up", or "prosecution" to get a person fired or to achieve a political goal, those goals defined by "The Intelligence Branch.
Not the Executive Branch. Not the Legislative Branch. Not the Judicial Branch. None of those are the defined goals, unless they advance the cause of the Fourth Branch...The Intelligence Branch.
Now, if FBI appears on my doorstep, they are not being invited in. They aren't being spoken to without a lawyer present. They would be recorded from the moment they identify themselves as FBI. And they aren't being offered refreshments.
I cannot express how disillusioning that is to me, and how angry it makes me.
They have shown themselves to be enemies of this Republic and its citizenry. And only a fool treats with a proven enemy as if they were an ally and expects anything less than a knife in the back.
FBI delenda est.
FBI and DOJ goons

Wonder how many know about some of the “odd” things concerning the events of that day? Doubt very many, sadly.
Kids were killed. No more questions need to be asked.
I remember that.
Defund is NOT enough. Defund, fire EVERYONE, disband and raze every facility they ever occupied to the ground. Every one of them is a criminal; if not active, then complicit by silence.
Well said, and very true.
And Hillary Clinton has her own personal hit squad. And she keeps them busy.
IT started with Lon Horiuchi at Ruby Ridge, with the murder of Vicki Weaver..
