“our German partners”
” I deployed to war zones, ran informants into terrorist groups, and sought to recover hostages.”
How much FBI went overseas in WWII? Korea? Vietnam? Lebanon? Desert Storm? The FBI has a double whammy of negatives. They filled their ranks with women and rainbow people. And they decided that they were a global police force with worldwide jurisdiction with a primary focus on political repression.
When they were sent to investigate the firefight in Tahir Square, that should have told America everything. There was no Status of Forces agreement with Iraq whatsoever. But whatever, we send the FBI, prosecute Blackwater guys in the USA where they broke no US law.
They are nothing but the Roman Praetorian Guard and we will not be free until they are disbanded.
The 1920s excuses are gone. Every state knows how to do fingerprints etc.
I am not sure about WWII (Allen Dulles hated J. Edger and the feeling was mutual) but I do know they went over seas in all the other conflicts.
