FBI is now officially a banana republic secret police and enemy of the First Amendment.
That said, there are now body cameras that you can hardly see that are worn by cops, also by hunters of dangerous game. Why don’t the press people wear these? Were they ordered to turn around and not even look at the meeting going down?
Even more to the point, why didn’t these spineless reporters and photographers simply ignore the “orders” from the FBI and take photos and make audio recordings? FBI has no authority to forbid that! What would’ve happened? Would they have assulted the journalists? Really? And imagine the furor if they did. Think it would come back hard on Lynch if she ordered the agents to get all goon squad to crush First Amendment rights? I do. These journalists pussed out.
