There was a time when every kid, and a lot of cops, fantasized about becoming FBI agents. Its agents were known as the best of the best.
That was then. After Mid-Year Exam, Crossfire Hurricane, and numerous other scandals, being a part of the FBI is no longer a thing of pride. Many retired agents admit to being embarrassed and ashamed of what the bureau has become.
When it comes to preventing crime, the FBI has dropped the ball far too many times. The FBI had credible warnings about the attack on 9/11, the Pulse Nightclub slaughter, the San Bernadino shooting, the Parkland school shooting, and even the Boston Marathon bombing. Yet somehow failed to take preventive action.
They’re no longer our guardians against public corruption either. They gave Hillary Clinton a pass for her email transgressions. They did an investigation in name only, that lasted months. Oddly, the FBI never served any subpoenas. The bureau even destroyed the evidence at the conclusion of the investigation. It’s almost as if they didn’t really want to find anything -- no?

Evidence of Biden family corruption is laying around everywhere -- in plain sight. Hunter Biden is selling kindergarten-level art to Chinese officials for half a million bucks a pop. His sales started right after his dad was inaugurated. Where’s the investigation? For that matter, what’s happening with Hunter’s laptop? It’s full of incriminating evidence. We’ve all seen it, and we know the “Big Guy” was getting 10%. But the FBI has been sitting on it for years.
Eric Swalwell was having an extramarital affair with a known Chinese spy. From an espionage perspective, it doesn’t get much riskier than that, especially with him sitting on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Has he been investigated? Nope. Has his security clearance been revoked? No again.
The FBI was corrupt even when Hoover was alive........................
I can remember seeing The FBI Story with Jimmy Stewart (1959) when I was young (about 10) and admiring those men ...
But that movie was about the FBI in the 1920s-50s etc
The Federal Bureau of Incrimination And Sedition (FBIAS) is a criminal organization that is more of a danger to the citizens than what they pretend to protect us from.
They’ve always been the same. Back then they want after gangsters like Al Capone and went after the Mafia. That said, I think they hid things better back then and there was no alternative media back then. Also, it could be that FBI is more blatant now. They are telling us that they are the law enforcement arm of the Democratic Party, the shift that was made under Bill Clinton’s presidency, would be my guess.
The FBI has dragged old men (Paul Manafort and Roger Stone), with no violent history, out of their homes at night at gunpoint, by an FBI SWAT team normally used for hostage situations and the arrest of heavily armed and dangerous fugitives, yes, because they worked for Donald Trump. But CNN did have the cameras running, so they had to make a good show of it.
They raided the homes of Project Veritas reporters and tipped off the press that it had happened. Again, the raids were done at night, with overwhelming firepower, against reporters. That’s a violation of the 1st Amendment, numerous Supreme Court rulings, and FBI policy against leaking details of ongoing investigations. Of course, it was all done for a good cause, to find a — wait for it — missing diary. What was the federal crime? Does it matter anymore?
But recently, an even bigger question has arisen. Is the FBI investigating, or creating crimes? Over 500 U.S. citizens are being held without bond for the January 6 protest. We even know that a man named Ray Epps was one of the instigators of the Capitol break-in. Even though he is clearly seen on security video egging on the attack, he was taken off the FBI’s wanted list when internet sleuths located him. Is there any chance he was working for the FBI? Interesting, no? Isn’t it alarming that we have to ask?
The FBI led the January 6 Capital breach with agent provocateurs like Ray Epps. They are the praetorian guard of the Democrat Party
FBI sending 17 agents to “investigate” a garage door rope at Talladega Speedway...
I used to work with them quite a bit.
It didn’t take long for street cops to realize that the FBI was NOT what they appeared to be. They had some cool gear and a some good folks working for them, but the “good folks” were the exception, not the norm. And in some case, a rare exception. Although they did have some attitudes, for sure. That is, until they were in the ghetto, on the street with folks that didn’t have much to lose.
The college kid that went through training, being told he/she was the best, tended not to be the most eager to put hands on the bad guys.
If you wanted to be enlightened to how the FBI works, read Peter Strzok’s emails and messages.
You will see a deputy head of counter-intelligence, whose 30 year FBI career trained him to be a teen cheerleader in a high-school cafeteria — aping what everyone in the bureaucracy is doing and saying, watching every action of his bosses, watching who is meeting with whom, focusing on what the latest MSM headlines are, chatting with his allies about the latest ideological talking points, and hooking up with his girlfriend.
The FBI is clearly a political tool, very similar in most respects to the Gestapo.
Actually, the fbi is more than it used to be. Let’s assume at their outset, they were 10 percent corrupt and 90 percent honest. Now they are, to give a few agents credit, 99 percent corrupt.
The FBI is the enforcement wing of the democRAT party. No different than the KGB, or Stasi.
Which is why Jeff Sessions was the absolute most feeble, milquetoast, limp-wristed, incompetent FBI director ever.
He did NOTHING to stop the corruption.
Compare that weakling Sessions to what the Gestapo Garland is doing.
The FBI (and Garland) are going to meet their Waterloo. It’s coming.
Journalists love the arrangement. They have access to an "unidentified anonymous insiders" who they believe they can trust and more importantly, gives them power and prestige.
So when a journalist reaches a certain level, the FBI assigns them a personal handler to feed them "secret" information. Journalists think they're special, sort of like a pimp telling each of his prostitutes she's his favorite.
Journalists are now just the public mouthpiece of the 'deep state'.
That's why journalists pushed the Russian/Trump collusion hoax. Their FBI handlers were feeding them names and since the information comes from the FBI they believe it's true. They still believe it's true because journalists cling to the belief their FBI handler "loves" them and would never lie to them.
Like I said, pimps controlling their deluded prostitutes.
Either that, ot it was never what we believed it to be.
I remember those days--when the Bureau was run by the great patriot J. Edgar Hoover and G-men, as FBI agents were called, were looked up to as heroes who, among other things, crushed the Axis spy rings, rounded up Soviet atom spies and neutered the Communist Party USA.
It’s just some bad people at the top. 99.9% of the Field Agents are super patriots.
We know this because Sean Hannity tells us...over and over and over and over and over.
I’m embarrassed to admit that I used to listen to Hannity (many years ago). Live and Learn.
That's pretty much accurate.
I think the FBI has always been corrupt from day one. Needs to be disbanded and nothing to take its place
