The FBI has been turned upside down and is now a STASI like organization that breaks the law and oppresses and intimidates Americans
They have become the enforcers and Praetorian Guard for the increasingly corrupt and tyrannical political elites
Sure. We weren’t allowed to criticize the last president, either.
No government institution is above criticism. Only totalitarian states enforce that rule.
It is the failure to criticize the FBI when it is wrong that threatens the institution and the rule of law.
No institution is above criticism. When the Catholic Church was first attacked with allegations of child sexual abuse (actually before that, but certainly by the time everyone discovered that it was a public and widespread problem), the Church should have engaged in public repentance, public reform, and public restitution. The correct answer would have been to admit to the problems and fix those problems. The FBI, while not at the moral level that the Church is supposed to occupy needs to follow the same path.
The trust that too many of us held in the FBI was abused in a shocking, widespread, and pervasive manner, and the problems should be addressed and fixed in just as public a manner. That fix should include public trials for the crimes, prison sentences for those who abused their power, extensive firings, and then procedural changes so that these abuses do not happen again.
Anyone who claims that criticism of the FBI is harmful is a fool - or more likely a traitor who is lying in a self-serving manner.
I’m all for disbanding the FBI and the CIA. The US Marshal service and military intelligence can do the same thing they do.
This is the same thought as you can’t criticize refs. The whole integrity of the game is ruined if you criticize them.
The left takes over institutions and the GOP institutionalists like 95 year old Webster couldn’t care less. Pathetic. They can all DIAF. We must “teach our children well” on this betrayal of the American people.
FU William Webster. Death to traitors.
True. Then it became Hillary's when she got all those fbi files back in 1993.
Durbin offered to apologize to Carter Page yesterday on TV. When with one of the presstitutes ask a Dem if Obama owes him an apology, too? Never of course.
Then, just like the "Federal" reserve and many other mockingbird institutions, a nice, soft, warm and fuzzy narrative was created in order to fool the people and get wide-scale buy in from the voting public. In one is curious about the effect of this massive gaslighting campaign, one can simply browse through many comments @ FR, where clever insults like FIB and declarations of never trusting the FBI again are common fare.
In one is being honest, the entire edifice is a joke; Trump is finding out the hard-way. Sometimes I wonder why I bother - the winners are clearly on the deep state side. They've got the brains, the resources, the desire and best of all, 50% of the voting population which has an IQ under 100. From an objective analysis, the question isn't how we got here, but how come it's taken this long for the deep state to get this far.
Crawl back into your sewer, Webster.
The Fey Wray is now at the nexus of the issue.
Where is Barr?
Yep. Barr is busy trying to cover up the fact that near everybody inside DOJ HQ hate POTUS with a white hot passion and will not support his agenda.
Nice of you to acknowledge this, Mr. Webster, but apparently the F_I and C_A (and several other agencies along with the Obama Admin) didn't get that memo. Unless these agencies are willing to accept closer scrutiny and are willing to be more transparent, they need to go the way of the dodo. No amount of lecturing from DC insiders such as yourself is going to change that fact.
“put the rule of law above politics”
Seriously? He used those words, regarding the biggest partisan law-breaking scandal in the history of the FBI?
His defense of Wray shows us exactly where he’s coming from, and it’s a very deep State.
I agree and disagree. I believe that there are some “enclaves” within the FBI that are probably doing a good job, but that the leadership and checks and balances within the FBI are in huge need of being either disbanded or dramatically reorganized.
First, base on recent personal experience, I believe that those running the FBI firearm instant check program are doing a good job and should have their jobs retained and functions retained.
I also suspect that those doing security clearance checks on defense contractors and others are probably doing a good job. The 10 most wanted list seems to be in post offices. So there are probably some that are doing a fine job.
As to the rest of the FBI. Well I would like to see the FBI management team moved to Fairbanks Alaska as its new headquarters. I like the idea of a bunch of Virginia/DC swamp dwellers being told move near the Arctic Circle or loose your job. I sense that most would find work elsewhere, which would be just fine in my book.
It is well past time for serious (and structural) changes at the FBI.
