FBI, R.I.P.?
PJ Media ^ | 11 Aug 2022 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 08/11/2022 5:32:51 PM PDT by Rummyfan

The FBI is dissolving before our eyes into a rogue security service akin to those in Eastern Europe during the Cold War.

Take the FBI’s deliberately asymmetrical application of the law. This week the bureau surprise-raided the home of former President Donald Trump — an historical first.

A massive phalanx of FBI agents swooped into the Trump residence while he was not home, to confiscate his personal property, safe, and records. All of this was over an archival dispute of presidential papers common to many former presidents. Agents swarmed the entire house, including the wardrobe closet of the former first lady.

Note we are less than 90 days out from a midterm election, and this was not just a raid, but a political act.

The Democratic Party is anticipated to suffer historical losses. Trump was on the verge of announcing his 2024 presidential candidacy. In many polls, he remains the Republican front-runner for the nomination — and well ahead of incumbent President Joe Biden in a putative 2024 rematch.

In 2016 then FBI Director James Comey announced that candidate Hillary Clinton was guilty of destroying subpoenaed emails — a likely felony pertaining to her tenure as secretary of state. Yet he all but pledged that she would not be prosecuted given her status as a presidential candidate.

As far as targeting presidential candidates, Trump was impeached in 2020 ostensibly for delaying military aid to Ukraine by asking Ukrainian officials to investigate more fully the clearly corrupt Biden family — given Joe Biden at the time was a likely possible presidential opponent in 2020.

The FBI has devolved into a personal retrieval service for the incorrigible Biden family. It suppressed, for political purposes, information surrounding Hunter Biden’s missing laptop on the eve of the 2020 election.

They have been corruptly “reimagined” as the Stasi. It needs to be shut down, cleaned out, reconfigured, and re-started fresh.

We were given their dress rehearsal when they went after Roger Stone. I thought is was an aberration. No, they were just getting warmed up.

At this point, what juror would believe testimony from an FBI agent?

You are reacting. Try being specific. No even in our media is. Turn them into Marshalls. That would address your reconfigure suggestion. The rest sounds ;ikr Perot’ look under the hood.

Reports of government rebels storming and searching the presidential compound in Haiti

Just like 3rd world countries.

I was thinking of these same people you listed here. Yet yesterday Eric said his dad was aware of major moves by the agency and green lighted it. Meaning he knew when and where each of these people was going to be hit.

How many get fired? The guilty ones should resign before Trump takes office to avoid the slammer. Won’t happen with the next congress.

Don’t forget how they raided James O’Keefe over Ashley Biden’s diary and then leaked all sorts of priviledged information to the NYT.

They should’ve been abolished during the 1st Trump ‘take down’ attempt in 2017.

If we take Congress, cutting their budget down to nothing should be a top priority.

However, many politicians and voters love ‘their’ FBI, just watch deep state Hannity try and blame everything on the leadership, while running cover for the ‘rank & file.’

Its pathetic, law & order my ass.

The current FBI has been irredeemably corrupted by the lefturds. It is time to kill it off. Defund it COMPLETELY, IMMEDIALELY.
Reconstitute it ONLY with the proviso that NO agent above field supervisor will be reinstated, and all lower agents will be FULLY and COMPLETELY vetted for their political biases.

Obama-Holder communist shadow cabinet machine all over this.

Democrats and mentally corrupt schizophrenic deep statists could not resist the fiendish “audacity”’s capacity in gaining them this pyric power.

We are ruled by an anarchical garbage pile of shallow barbarians doing nonsense in color of law.

The NY Times prints more gossip than the NY Post, but they present it more boringly.

If it’s testimony about a Republican (Racist), a jury made up out of DC denizens.

Hand-picked from the best ghettos....
