Five men have been taken into custody as suspects in the 1978 Lufthansa heist at New York’s John F. Kennedy airport, an FBI spokeswoman says, according to Reuters.

A 36 year old case solved! J Edgar would be so proud.
But wait, isn’t the FBI dropping its law enforcement mission?
Perhaps they can enter the present day and produce some Benghazi facts.
DB Cooper better be watching his six....
Per the hildebeast, “What difference at this point does it make?” Long time ago and over a Beta tape probably. They’ll get to that Benghazi place in around 2052 or so.
Maybe they will gradually taper their law enforcement activities so they can focus 100% on intimidating conservative groups so as to not cause any significant disruptions. Eventually, of course, they will be completely focussed on oppression and elimination of dissent.
I guess checking all those phone records finally paid off...

Are you assuming we still have laws?

They don’t need defense lawyers. They need hollywood lawyers.
These guys are all going to get rich again on book/movie deals.
“When they found Carbone in the meat truck, he was frozen so stiff it took them three days to thaw him out for the autopsy.”
Jimmy Conway: Oh, hey, Henry, Henry! Here’s an arm!
Henry Hill: Very funny, guys.
Jimmy Conway: Here’s a leg!
Tommy DeVito: Here’s a wing!
[laughs]
Tommy DeVito: Hey, what do you like, the leg or the wing, Henry? Or ya still go for the old hearts and lungs?
