Rather than battle you here I want to use you for information.

It is my belief that Comey,McCabe, Wray, Strzok, Page and others are anti-American and anti-Trump, and that they used private information access to try to destroy an innocent President. Knowingly and illegally. And that they are on the anti-American global and BLM opposite side from us here.

Question: When some here had sympathy for the FBI during Comey’s reign, people said “The good and honest FBI agents hate Comey and the other ‘dirty cops’ more than we do. They will turn on him or resign. Watch for mass resignations soon.”

We know there were none.

Please tell us from your friends’ knowledge if there is a large or small contingent of honest agents today and if here is a chance of true reform by toppling he corrupt ones at the top.

A college buddy has been an Agent for years. He says the same. He laughs at the idea they waste any time on old granny’s with computers.

My experience with human nature is that most people can't see beyond their own personal bubble. Your buddy may think that, because he doesn't waste time with grannies on the internet in whatever his position is, that nobody in the FBI does. This kind of myopia is most often drastically incorrect.

There was a time when the FBI made a mistake we would all gasp in disbelief. An investigation would ensue, heads would roll and better practices would be instituted.

Now? The coverup ensues and the witnesses to the mistake are intimidated and silenced. McCabe keeps his pension and we sail merrily on.

The simple matter of fact is this. The institutions we used to trust have been turned into politicized instruments to further the side of choice’s agenda.

The wrong person wins an election? It’s foreign Collusion!! Send someone from the FBI to interview you and you can’t remember a minor detail? Why that is lying to the FBI, SWAT raids at 2AM with CNN tagging along followed by solitary. And that just isn’t Flynn or Roger Stone, it’s as recent as Project Veritas (minus the solitary).

Something is broken and it needs fixing. To deny that is to stick one’s head in the sand.

One more note. The word “continually” keeps getting thrown around here. So and so doesn’t continually do this. Or a question like: You believe the FBI continually does that.

“Continually” is irrelevant to this matter. It means always. Very few things involving humankind “always” happens.

The question is this: is ONE time too many? How about something that is frequently happening or happening more than once?

Is once, frequently, twice, whatever too many?

I say yes when it comes to infringing our God given rights. The FBI can be made a fine organization again that deserves our trust. But much work is needed.

No disrespect meant. But your agent friend’s comment has no value. Because whether or not the FBI is spying on granny, they would say the exact same thing: We are not spying on granny.

It wasn’t clear why the attacker chose the synagogue.

Leave it to the AP to wonder why a muslim would attack a synagogue. Or maybe they meant this particular synagogue as opposed to one across town? Nahhh.

NEWS & POLITICS
Clueless: Woke FBI Downplays Anti-Semitic Aspect of Hostage-Taking at Texas Synagogue
BY ROBERT SPENCER JAN 16, 2022 9:30 AM ET

The jihadi who stormed the Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, and took hostages Saturday, demanding the release of convicted jihad terrorist Aafia Siddiqui, is dead, and the hostages are safe. And now comes the real work: whitewashing, downplaying, and ignoring outright what took place, because it doesn’t fit the establishment narrative.

“...consider...an airline pilot. We can forgive a mistake or two from the baggage handler. But the pilot had better not fly into any mountains. He has to get it right every time...the FBI...has become too politicized...” [Leaning Right, post 54]

First, we must accept the truth that nobody can be 100 percent all the time. Humans are prone to error.

The only way to reduce the error rate is to construct and enforce a “corporate culture” that (first) acknowledges this universal human flaw and (second) designs social systems that backstop those who occupy critical positions with observation by colleagues, who feel duty-bound to intervene when they see a superior about to blunder.

The airline industry has been creating and improving this sort of professional culture (expressly created to improve flight safety) for more than 30 years.

No equivalent “corporate culture” exists inside the FBI, nor any Federal law enforcement organization. The organized military has been trying to establish its own equivalent for some time, but progress has been fitful at best. Most of the effort has gone toward flying safety.

Morals and self-righteousness play no part. Railing against the FBI and other LE organizations results in a success rate of exactly 0.0 percent; the organizations simply ignore the criticisms. They do so not out of contempt nor disregard for the arguments of critics, but because of cultural limitations.

Bureaucratic organizations will not agree to fire wrongdoers, nor will they take legal action against their own, just because outsiders decry their lack of action on moral grounds. Moralizers simply exhort others to be moral; they cannot succeed. Structurally, moral arguments are blunt instruments that cannot bring forth a tangibly useful result.

Better ideas are needed. The error rate can be reduced, but perfection can never be reached. Deciding what error rate is acceptable, and figuring out how to get there, requires real brilliance. And wisdom.

“The Agents I know, particularly the SWAT members, are patriotic combat vets.”

Yeah, totally great pension patriots. Really great Americans. Only the leadership is kinda yucky, huh.

I’m sure if you were in Europe in the 30’s and 40’s you’d have known some really patriotic people in the Einsatzgruppen.

I’m sure they’re awesome “great guys”.

They’re amazing at NASCAR nooses, killing women holding a baby, shooting a dog and teenage boy, burning 76 men, women and children then bulldozing the site to prevent full forensic evaluation, stopping the Boston bombing, stopping the Orlando massacre, preventing a Muslim from killing Marines in a recruiting center, analyzing center fuel tank explosions and preventing that from ever happening again…….

They are the very best. They solve all these serial killings in about 45 minutes on tv and never ever entrap, intimidate or bankrupt innocent conservative citizens.

I’m sure that you’ll be treated well by your awesome FBI great Americans.

Just before the boot comes down on your neck make sure you tell them how great they are and how much you adore them.

And what does he say to the idea that the FBI orchestrated the Russia Collusion hoax? Does he laugh at that or believe it's true that they did?
