Why do our FBI agents so regularly abuse their power?

Is the agency purposely selecting people who sign up precisely because they want to act outside the law?

The American people are learning by dribs and drabs that the raid on Mar-a-Lago was not only unconstitutional, it was a set-up, an attempt to frame former President Trump for having documents illegally stored there. The set-up proves the lie. Both the National Archives and the FBI knew said documents, which Trump was legally allowed to have, were carefully stored in a locked storage room. Many of those boxes were packed and sent there by the National Archives; they likely knew what was in those boxes better than Trump did. In short, it was a Gestapo-like ploy to both incriminate and humiliate Donald Trump. As the truth of the raid leaks out (such as the authorization of lethal force) thanks to Judge Cannon who has ordered Jack Smith’s redactions unredacted, it is becoming clearer and clearer that it is the FBI and the National Archives working with the Biden administration that plotted to create a situation by which they could indict Trump. Jack Smith, a known legal thug who has no respect for the actual law, was then appointed, illegally and unconfirmed by the Senate, to prosecute Trump and convict by any means necessary. That case seems to be falling apart. It was a farce from the outset and Judge Cannon is allowing the American people to see just how much of a farce by releasing unredacted Smith documents.

The raid on Mar-a-Lago in August 2022 is hardly the only example of FBI skullduggery. They raided hundreds of persons who were in attendance at the Capitol on January 6, 2021 in much the same way — fifteen to twenty agents, armed with all manner of weapons.

They are now using lawfare all over the place now. They are going after people who claim that the 2020 election was stolen.

They do it because there is absolutely no check on their power and authority.

Because they have no fear of arrest or lengthy prison terms or execution.

Abuse of their authority is the purpose of their existence.

Not a recent thing. In the 70s the FBI ran the ABSCAM scam. In essence they offered bribes to political figures under the guise of “enticing.” They proved a known fact, waive money in front of a politician and they will take it. Problem was they initiated the contacts leading some career government attorneys to balk at bringing charges. Obviously those prosecutors are gone because it is anything the AG wants gets done.

They do it because they keep getting away with it.

Because they like to, and because they can, because no one will stop them.

Abolish the FBI. Defund it completely and scatter its agents to the four winds.

America did plenty well enough before the FBI. It can do so again.

The problem is not so much the rank and file (useful idiots), it is the upper echelons whose loyalty is more to the Deep State and its defense than it is to America and The Constitution they swore to “protect and defend”.

When I read the AT article this morning, the first thing I thought is that the FBI may be recruiting people who are in compromised positions that can be exploited by the FBI higher ups.

Yawn. I guess the title is rhetorical? Is the question answered in the article at some point?

It was corrupt from the beginning. J. Edgar wielded power and influence and it has been a tool of the elite ever since.
