Tucker Carlson: "Out Of Control" FBI Considers Itself Above The Law, Threat To Every American
Real Clear Politics ^ | December 4, 2017 | Ian Schwartz

Posted on 12/06/2017 1:27:23 PM PST by smileyface

Tucker Carlson delivers commentary on FBI agent Peter Strzok and an "out of control" FBI on Monday's broadcast of his FOX News show. Strzok was heavily involved in two politicized cases -- the Clinton email investigation and the Russian collusion probe and oversaw interviews with Mike Flynn.

"There are many examples of this, but the point is clear, the FBI is out of control and not just in the Trump investigation but much more broadly. An agency charged with enforcing the law clearly considers itself above the law, and that is a threat to you and every American, no matter who you voted for," Carlson said Monday.

CARLSON: For months, Trump defenders have alleged that Robert Mueller's investigation is tainted with partisan politics. They've noted for example the strikingly high percentage of prosecutors on Mueller's team who are also major Democratic donors. The president himself has frequently echoed these charges, implying that the investigation is a partisan witch hunt concocted by his enemies to overturn last fall's election results. Basically a coup. We haven't joined the chorus.

Prosecutors like military officers and surgeons are trained to rise above politics in their the service of duty. And most of them do that. In the absence of hard evidence to the contrary, it seemed wise to give his investigation the benefit of every doubt and wait for the outcome. We're Americans, we believe in the fair application of justice. We think that's what normally happens. Well, unfortunately, it's getting harder to maintain that faith.

Carlson then reported that Strzok had a hand in the wording of then-FBI Director James Comey's infamous statement clearing Hillary Clinton of wrongdoing in the investigation into her private server. Strzok reportedly prodded Comey to use "extremely careless" instead of "grossly negligent."

Agree completely, and we don’t yet know more than a small portion of the egregious facts regarding this swampy cesspool.

Certainly sounds like its a threat to every female FBI “special agent” (what a joke that title sounds like now).

Trump needs to start up,his own private army /security force to fight the FBI.

Liberty and the Rule of Law will not be save whilst the FBI continues to wield power

The IC, including the FBI - now also charged with counter-intel, has been after Trump since before the election.

They remain out of control.

Totally agree.

If you want to see the real face of America’s intelligence network leadership, glance into the evil satanic eyes of the arrogant elitist thug Robert Mueller, or the glancing beady eyes of smug Comey or the fat, self-satisfied sneer of Loretta Lynch.

But why go on. You get the picture.

I don't think Obama gave a good diddly-damn what happened at the FBI, as long as it looked the other way at all the dangerous/crooked crap his people were doing as they infested every nook and cranny of the government.

The really funny thing is that as Government employees, I'm sure every single person in the FBI was getting frequent indoctrination sessions (like twice a year, or even more) warning them about the serious nature of sexual harassment in the workplace, defining it, role-playing it, showing videos of it, forcing everyone to go through it, forcing every one to sign forms stating that they had taken the training, understood the training, etc.

I bet they spent hundreds of millions of dollars on "trainers" and "facilitators" to run theses sessions as well.

I do not agree in this sense. Right from the start it's been crystal clear the Russian collusion thing was a highly partisan and political effort to diminish and, if possible, remove the Trump presidency. Right. From. The. Start.

Lately all that's happened is that we now have documented evidence, but it only supports what we already knew. Carlson and way too many others wanted to give the benefit of the doubt to the investigators, but why? And he's only now discovering the FBI is out of control? Where has he been since at least Waco and Ruby Ridge? Since then, there have been an awful lot of FBI "oopsies" to ever give them the benefit of doubt.

“...where did the FBI ever get the idea they were above the law?”

I really became aware of it when the Randy Weaver killings took place. That was 25 years ago so it had to be further back than that. The FBI has become a true rogue agency of liars, and when you can lie to the citizens who employ you, all other crimes become easy.

At least he’s clearly on board now.

I thought Monday’s show was brilliant in laying out the facts about the completely unacceptable behavior going on at the disgraced (and disgraceful) FBI.
