Good post. I tend to discount anything that comes from our government, sad to say. Including most especially FBI.
It’s sad to say. I remember the old Ephraim Zimbalist Jr “FBI” series. I thought of them as the gold standard among police agencies. How long ago all that seems. Now I just see them as our own political police, like any third world country. Probably they always were to some degree. Since the Clinton era they have really come down in my estimation, and irretrievably so since the “Russia Russia” scandals.
And of course I don’t believe anything that comes from a Democrat White House.
You really have to dig and discern these days.
