Just when you thought the FBI couldn’t fall any further, the Bureau utterly, hilariously, and luridly beclowns itself. In a formal document, a criminal charge. Using a Photoshopped picture from 4-chan, the reviled (by all people who abhor wrongthink) website where a wag substituted a lurid picture for the official portrait hanging on the wall of the US Capitol in the background of a shot of the Viking horn helmet guy and others who stormed in on January 6, 2021.
Seamus Hughes was the eagle eye who spotted it, though the arrow in his picture on the following tweet directs the eye away from the object of humor:

This is so sloppy a job that it suggests extreme pressure to act in haste. That need for speed, of course, is the excuse used by Kevin Clinesmith to explain away his lying to a federal court – and the judge in question, James Boasberg, bought it and let him off with no prison time, a $100 fine and community service.
I am so old that I remember when the FBI was adored by the media and most of the citizenry other than communists. And J. Edgar Hoover’s insistence on getting the details right was legendary. Back then, not having enough Brylcreem in an agent’s hair could get one exiled to the field office in Butte, Montana. Considering the light punishment handed out to FBI lawyer Clinesmith, will anyone at the FBI even care about this? Will the judge hearing the complaint?

This episode should end at least a handful of careers. It probably won’t. Clown World marches on. Honk honk.
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
The entire upper echelon of the FBI, etc. is utterly screwed up. I swear to the All Mighty, Trump should have cleaned house of the entire Intel community, Pentagon, etc. within the first two weeks in office. Bet, if he gets re-elected, he will remember the email I and others sent him urging such.......
Here’s a bit more on the infamous photo:

Not much to laugh at these days, but this is certainly one thing.
“Any police department (or university faculty, or military unit, etc.) is only as good as the worst psycho they tolerate.” ~ H/T RedStateRocker
everybody says that...like its an incantation of some sort.
How do you purge the DC Lifers...the bureaucracy...many of whom have served as secretaries, receptionists etc in DC Fed.gov -in some families since the 1930’s?
They know which side their bread is buttered and who butters it. They control the schedule, the phone messages, screen the emails, schedule meetings for everybody across government. They will not do anything that could upset the apple cart for one another.
That is the REAL limitation on the imagination and sweep, on the “power” of an AG like Sessions or Barr. And ultimately on a “rogue” president
By this alone, the entire case is suspect. The FBI can not be trusted. #resist.

Easier said than done. If the Republicans had any backbone and would have stood behind him he may have stood a chance. But the Dems owned the courts and were able to keep his hands tied all the time. Amazing he was able to accomplish what he did.
The FBI needs to be disbanded. It is nothing but a criminal enterprise.
The FBI has become the enforcement wing of the democrat party, the same as the KGB was to the Soviet communists in the old Soviet Union.
the GOP have a ‘backbone’?
have a drink? they are garter snake coven
of liars, seditionists, pedophiles, pedophile protectors,
traitors, and MSM-preeners, who LIE LIE LIE LIE
as they DARED attack POTUS.
the GOP and FIB are as far from Patriots as
Hunter Biden going after a 6 year old taped down
in the Lincoln bedroom.
I am reminded of the Stalinist photo shopped picture of the unwanted apparatchik on the bridge.
Efrem Zimbalist Jr. is rolling over in his grave.
Is there any reason any Citizen should ever believe anything the FBI says, especially if you are a Juror in one of their sham cases??
Anyone in any intel job should be fired if they have been around more than five years if Trump is re-elected.
I would not doubt that they did. If someone says that they did, I will take their word without question.
They will be promoted. There is no chance that they will be fired.
Asterisk mine.
