FBI’s Newest Prerogative: Shooting Subway Passengers (Washington, DC)
AIER ^ | 12-21-20 | James Bovard

Posted on 12/21/2020 3:07:04 PM PST by dynachrome

Last Tuesday, an FBI agent pulled out his gun and repeatedly shot a passenger on the Washington subway. At the bottom of B6 in Saturday’s Washington Post – buried past an article headlined, “Despite the upcoming solstice, winter has already arrived” is a short piece headlined: “Police:‘Verbal exchange’ preceded Metro shooting.” There were zero news reports or disclosures for the two days after the shooting – except for a brief FBI note that there had been an “officer-involved shooting” on the subway.

What did the passenger say that provoked the shooting? It’s a secret – at least for the time being.

Did the FBI agent “go postal” after being taunted about J. Edgar Hoover wearing dresses?

Did the guy who was shot say “Black Lives Matter” or, even more recklessly, “All Lives Matter?”

Did the FBI agent lose control because someone violated Metro rules by eating an Egg McMuffin on the train?

Did the victim forget to say “Thank you for your service” to the FBI agent?

The Washington Post blocked all comments on the article, an unusual step that occurs when readers are prone to expose the cravenness or servility of Post articles that merely recycle government talking points on potentially explosive subjects.

These are just some of the people purged from the DOJ. I know everyone associated with Hillary CLinton's joke of a "mid-term review" was driven out. Many are allowed to pretend to have "retired" and "moved on", particularly during the time that Nancy Pelosi et. al. were egging on riots if Rod Rosenstein or Mueller were fired.

The've been cleaning house but sleepers are still present:

The FBI is bowed down to by local police for no reason.


When I first got on the street I thought FBI agents were going to be the end all, be all. That idea quickly disappeared. There were a handful that I worked with that were legit folks, mostly former cops or veterans. Every once in a while you could find a “college kid” that was decent but they were few and far between.

I don’t have any insider information on this particular shooting, but I used to regularly ride the Green line on the DC Metro. LEOs could shoot a couple of guys on every train and it still wouldn’t put a dent on all the assaults and robberies that happen there.

OH GOODY, they were fired; I understand that Comey just got hired to teach “ETHICAL LEADERSHIP” at William and Mary College.

That ought to be a great course for those with a BRAIN MAGGOT.

His current worth is hovering around 14 million and he’s still on the speaking tour gravy train.

That son of a bitch should be in prison, just like you or I would be if we had committed the same crimes.

As for the rest of them; I haven’t heard about any indictments or trails yet, have you?

Actually, the FBI killed the man in Florida.

“Conflicting accounts,” having followed dizens, if not hundreds, of police shootings, in this kind of case you can almost certainly give the benefit of the doubt to the victim.

Was it Lon Hiruchi?

Close. Lon Hourchi I think. Crap, I might be wrong too. Anyway, apparently, he did nothing wrong according to our attorney general, since Barr actually gave pro-bono legal assistance to the man who murdered Vicky Weaver.

That's the main reason I never put much faith in him.

Mire than 40 years. The Boston office cover up of Billy Bulger, three guys framed for murder, that Mueller covered up. The Atlanta bombing - the agent who framed Jewell got a short suspension, and when he returned to work, the other agents lined the hall to give him a standing ovation.

99% crooked may be a low number.

It’s the FBI. They ARE the law.

Could you...oh....I don’t know...actually refute the facts I’ve presented? I suppose dismissing everything as “cute” and just goin’ along, to git along is easier.

I believe the Trump administration realized it had to wait while rebuilding America’s battle readiness and eroding that of her enemies before they went public with the ongoing prosecutions of the deep staters:

I hate to say it, but this is the turning point. I am confident Biden taking office is not in the cards. But if he ever did, you could put money on a a major clampdown, complete with full on Communist-like purges and covered-up killings the media would never report on. They came very close to losing it under Trump. They wouldn’t screw around again.

From there, it would be on to Venezuela over the next years, complete with local street gangs turned into Biden’s armed militias, armed and rendered superior to local Police who would end up glorified traffic cops and paper pushers.

FBI is intel, and has access to all sorts of classified data, even if only by gossip. What they know is what most here do not - the machine is considerably bigger than any of you can imagine, and it has eyes and ears everywhere. Most likely any honest FBI know if they did try to take the machine down alone by exposing anything, it would fail.

Nobody would believe much of the media - reporters, editors, station heads, even among local affiliates who you see every night, are agents of the conspiracy. Think the media will report what you are about to blow the whistle on? It won’t. Think an AG, or the OIG, or a Senate or House committee head with oversight will help? They won’t. Think you can communicate with any reporter or oversight official, even if they were honest? Everything is penetrated an monitored, and FBI all likely have dedicated observation posts just devoted to eavesdropping on them.

It is not to say you can’t lash out at the machine. But if I were FBI, I would be well aware there was little I could blow the whistle on alone, and do the real kind of damage I would want to.

And understand, I hate this machine with a passion. It is just that it requires a more coordinated effort than a single agent could muster.

This thing is very complex.

“I think that’s why Barr is keeping the FBI from the investigation into election theft. He can’t let the FBI get close to evidence or witness lists because of infiltration and he doesn’t want the public to disregard FBI collected evidence based on recent FBI behavior. That, and he needs to make it plain that Trump has not weaponized the DOJ to protect his election win.

Good points, it may have been agreed upon to keep the FIB’s away from this fraud to protect the evidence, and the witnesses. You know, seeing how they loose laptops full of crimes a lot.

The video inside the truck is crazy and should have blown the whole thing wide open, alas, it did not.

Peter Strozk described the common public as stinking of Wal-Mart and it made him nauseas to be around the common public in his text messages to that butter hair tart he was having a workplace fling with. They talked about us like that in some sort of sick foreplay pillow talk.

Punk needs "Buckwheats" visit from Mr.Shush.

I like the FBI agent that got piss drunk at a strip club, paid his tab with a government credit card, got onto the wrong bound direction ramp to I95,.and head on killed a family of 5 black folks.

But here's the best part...

The cop on the accident scene was forced to rewrite the accident report the opposite facts, blaming the family he killed. The entire FBI aparatus was brought down to bear on that local community police department to cover the crime.

It eventually came out and not one person at the FBI was prosecuted.

Diseased institutions.
