The average “Field Agent” is just like the average employee in any organization, they know EXACTLY WHAT THE BOSSES ARE DOING!

If the AVERAGE “FIELD AGENT” has such high standards and integrity I have to ask myself WHY ARE THERE NO WHISTLE BLOWERS?

The whole FEEBEE is as corrupt as the MAFIA, or CONGRESS and the SENATE!

Obama, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, etc. had long ago poisoned the FBI, CIA and other govt intelligence/counter-intelligence agencies. Witness their concerted efforts to blame Trump’s policies on “Soviet collusion” and not one of their leaders stood up and said “This is bullshit”.

The FBI leaders I knew/worked with many years ago, would have stood on top of the Washington Monument and said this without any hesitation.

Also, the number of communists/sympathizers and far-left “progressives” increased in Congress tremendously during the Obama regime, and some still infest our intel agencies or were reappointed to them (or were protected from prosecution, i.s. Strzok, Ohrs, McCabe, possibly Yates, Clapper, Brennan, Comey, etc).

Lindsay’s dress was a little to tight when he said that. So was his hairpiece. Always a politician, never a truthteller.

Just watching a small portion. . .you get the gist of the military/fbi’s role in rounding up those who are not in compliance.

When people stop deluding themselves into believing they are free...it all makes sense.

It is not the mere reality that Republicans are always investigated and Democrats are never investigated or charged...

It is not that conservative viewpoints are censored and liberal politicians and elites have bad news and crimes censored out...

The FBI/DOJ literally hatched a coup against a President of the United States of America...got caught and was never charged.

But keep believing you are free.

Mr. Hodgkinson was committing “suicide by cop,” the FBI briefer said. In essence, the bureau had relegated the near-mass killings aimed at Washington’s legislative branch to a self-centered personal decision by a leftist activist from Illinois.

I won’t rule it out entirely BUT,

A person trying to commit suicide by cop usually is not going to drive from Belleville, Illinois to Alexandria, Virginia and stake out a baseball field there for six weeks with a rifle and hand gun in his van.

This guy was also well known for his anti-Republican views.

It can also be said that anyone planning to do what he did would have to know that he was unlikely to survive the execution of his plan. So, regardless of what his real motive it would be suicide by cop in the end.

James T. Hodgkinson’s gust of 70 rifle and handgun rounds, while positioned like a sniper behind the third base dugout and then on the move, was not terrorism, nor was it planned, they said at the June 21, 2017, briefing.

Yes, The far left activist packed up his car with multiple weapons and plenty of ammunition, then drove over 800 miles from his home in Illinois to Washington DC, where he just happened to arrive at a softball field. To his surprise, Republican congressional representatives just happened to be practicing for an upcoming game on the same field he randomly arrived at. Then Hodgkinson felt a sudden, unplanned, irresistible urge to commit suicide. Lacking the courage to end his own life, he resorted to taking cover in a dugout and shooting at republicans until security shot him. No terrorist attack. Unplanned. Suicide by cop. The list of Republicans in his pocket was for Christmas cards. The 4 people he shot were just an accident. That's the FBI's story, and they're sticking to it.

So then 9/11 was not a terrorist attack, but just a bunch of guys committing suicide by pop.

“Can someone name for me a single aspect of the FBI that is not corrupt to the core and/or politicized?”

Janitorial staff? Building maintenance?

Sorry, the FBI “crime lab” discredited itself, because of its own incompetence and corruption, back in the 90’s.

“Suicide by cop”

When did Mike Hammer start working there?

“A gust of....” oh the pulitzer coolness abounds in this Steinbeckian stylized description. What’s next “slipping a knife between the ribs?”

Anyone who still had trust in the FBI at this point is either very naïve, very corrupt themselves or hasn’t paid attention to the FBI antics and criminality for the last 5 or 10 years.

Remember when we were told the FBI corruption was limited to a very few at the top and the majority were solid and honest employees and patriots?

And that we would see a stampede of the honest people speaking out and/or leaving the FBI?

A stampede that never even got started...

As you demonstrate, this report is ludicrous. We live in an age of lies.

The only thing worth keeping at this point is tge FBI lab.

The fbi should be abolished, it is not even constitutional.

The founding fathers knew what a central, armed, force {call it what you like} would do to the people.

It is practically impossible for lifelong bureaucrats to avoid using unlimited, corrupt police power in their own interests, and thereby further corrupting the entire system.

Defund the FBI should be part of the blm mantra.

For Suicide by cop, he would have loaded his 70 round mag SKS with blanks.

The fact he hit one person over 70 feet away with a 7.62 round means he was shooting to murder people.

Anyone still having trust in the FBI has been living in a cave for the last 5 years.
