Speaking of banks, the average person doesn’t have any idea how deeply they collude with fedgov to monitor and even interfere with customer banking activity.

you say: “American needs a good routing and a purge. First we need a president and backing that will not only say but do to a final satisfying solution.”
I would answer, the House of Representatives has the power of the purse, and Republicans should hold hearings ASAP. The FBI and intel agencies can be held responsible for their actions. They can be made to suffer, as they should be. Likewise, the institutions can be torn down (as JFK wanted to do to the CIA), and as many have wanted to do to the FBI. The DHS should be purged. If the Republicans in Congress are unwilling to tackle seriously this problem, then there is recourse. 1854 and the creation of the Republican Party is a guideline of what can result when a political party no longer meets the needs of its constituents.

We need the Martians to return and blow up Congress. And I promise this time not to play my Slim Whitman records.

Of course the fbi broke the law but it only hurt republicans so that means nothing will happen to anyone at the fbi.

Did they violate JFKs right to Life when they shot him?

"Isn’t that called treason?"

It is in my book, but I'm not a sitting Judge.

It is way beyond a violation of the first amendment. The alphabet agencies are participating in a “Color Revolution” (Hope the spelling is correct.) With designs to destroy the United States. I call it Treason.

Even if they did, who would prosecute them?

Like all of the Constitutional “government may not...” restrictions the Constitution doesn’t provide criminal penalties for this crime.

We need a constitutional amendment which sets out harsh penalties for government entities and employees who violate the Constitution. Congress could create laws, but laws are easily changed.

Yes. Congress funds the FBI, therefore falls under the 1st Amendment freedom of speech violation and should be defunded in total.

They will argue that since the FBI is not congress, or even constitutional, that they are exempt from violating the Bill of Rights. And by threatening like Schiffhead, “if you don’t censor what we don’t like we might have to do something about it” they can claim they didn’t “order” Twitter or big tech to censor anything. And an Obama judge will agree.

They didn’t just “collude” with Twitter. The federal government leaned on Twitter to do things that they, the federal government, could not.

This has been held by courts over and over again to be State Action.

The government, which has massive regulatory and oversight powers cannot lean on private companies as a means of getting around restrictions on government power in the constitution.

There needs to be consequences in the form of a massive class action lawsuit and mass firings of government employees involved.

YES. But Democrat voters don’t care. They elect frauds like Fetterman to the Senate who will vote for MORE reckless spending and block investigations.

To the headline. If you have to ask, you’ll never know.

I don't know if they violated the first amendment, but it's not like they killed about 25 little kids by burning them alive or shot some mom in the head while holding her baby after killing her 14 year old son.

The vast majority of the FBI are just amazing and outstanding law enforcement professionals with just a few bad apples giving them bad PR.... right?
