The FBI Has Crossed The Rubicon
andmagazine.substack.com ^ | 5/24/2023 | Sam Faddis

The expression “crossing the Rubicon” refers to the actions of Julius Caesar in crossing the Rubicon River and marching on Rome. Roman armies were forbidden to do so. The rule was very practical. The Romans understood the danger of allowing a large armed force to march on the capital city. To allow this might spell the end of the republic. Best that popular conquering generals and their armies stay a safe distance away and respect the democratic institutions at the heart of Roman democracy.

Caesar broke the rule. He marched on Rome. He didn’t care what the Senators thought. The rest is history. Within a generation, there was no republic.

The FBI has now taken similar action. It has signaled in the clearest possible manner it does not care what the people or their elected representatives think. It will do what it pleases, and the consequences be damned.

The recently released Durham report paints a graphic picture of an agency out of control. The FBI did not blunder into an investigation of Donald Trump, his campaign, and his associates. The FBI undertook to deliberately destroy Trump and those around him including General Flynn. The FBI took unto itself the power to decide who could be President.

He’s right, there’s no coming back from this. Either Wray’s being blackmailed, which I’m strongly starting to suspect, or he belongs behind bars. Either way, he’s got to go.

There is absolutely no accountability. They will get more brazen and boldly suppress the rights of Americans. They are Gestapo, and therefore above the law. See the movie “Lives of Others”. American Stasi.

There is a strong division (on this board too) on the Trump/DeSantis thingy - at this stage many of us don’t have a dog in the fight at this time, yet the candidate who states that Wray will get fired minutes after taking the oath of office has my vote in the primary.

The US military has also crossed the Rubicon. Plan accordingly.

Desantis has already said Wray would be fired Day 1.

This. Really started with John F. Kennedy, or, what was left of him.

Fire Wray? No wonder the Only Trumpers hate him DeSantis so much.

RE: The FBI took unto itself the power to decide who could be President.

We apparently have to lose the important function of the old time FBI in order to accept the truth that the corruption and bias of the FBI is so intensely evil now that something has to be done.

The FBI can’t choose leaders and rule over us. THEY work for US.

The Senate of Julius Caesar’s time was as monumentally corrupt as ours is. Somebody had to do something about it. Julius wasn’t the first reformer to be murdered by the Senators. Read the story of Gaius Marius.

Yes. America has been hopelessly corrupt since before I was born.
