Completely insane when you think about it.
They used to catch russian spies, investigate bank robberies, and now all they do is politically biased shenanigans that...
I find that there isn’t a word adequate in the english language to describe the sheer lack of care for the Constitution and the country shown by the FBI’s behavior of the past few decades.

Doesn’t sound remotely like a “militia group.”

There are crazy people out there and FBI informants who both tend to instigate trouble.

The militia group TURNED the conspirators in, and volunteered to serve as under-cover informants.

“Yeah, whatever.”

For sure.

Gretchen was going to get kidnapped? In other news, MLB is allowing 10,000 fans to attend the World Series games. Nice.

“Wolverine Watchmen”

Sounds like a name and plan hatched by 7 year old boys.

WOW! I didn’t realize until just this minute that Gretchen’s maiden name was SMOLLETT & that she was Jessie’s “long lost” sister??

LOL, TMN78247

Yup...no criminality except possibly—and that is a seventh inning stretch—for trespassing associated with “surveillance”

And it will bear fruit when Trump gets re-elected on November 3, 2020.

Gov. Whitmer, Media Caught in Another Lie – Anarchist Arrested For Plot to Kidnap and Kill Whitmer Hates President Trump, ‘Trump is a Tyrant’
Gee, he sounds just like Joyless Behar, and Joyless Reid and the Trump hating a-hole celebs, HOW 'BOUT THAT! Just like the POS who shot up the synagogue in Pittsburgh. IIRC, he's a Jew hating White supremacist who HATES Pres Trump for reaching out to BLacks and Latinos, also his strong pro Israel stance and his son in law and some of his grandkids are Jewish. Trump is hated by whackos and extremists of all stripes, that speaks volumes.

I’m saying this knowing I could be wrong, but there is so
much out there about how dirty the FBI has been over the
last 30 years, I’m sorry. My default is to give others
the benefit of the doubt until it’s crystal clear a
justified conviction is likely.

What was the bomb? An M-80? A string of fireworks?

There has been tens of thousands of acts of violence from
the Left over the last few months, but this is where the
FBI is focused?

How’s that investigation coming regarding who is financing
the terrorists?

Oh excuse me, peaceful protestors.,,

I hear ya.

I grew up idolizing the FBI. Ruby Ridge, Waco, and TWA-800
took care of that, but quick.
