The FBI Tragedy: Elites above the Law

National Review ^ | June 11, 2019 6:30 AM | By VICTOR DAVIS HANSON

[Capt. Tom]

Don't be silly all the good ones resigned in outrage when Hillary was not indicted, just like some freepers said they would, all 0 of them.

So many of those 100% honest American FBI agents have resigned in disgust over the goings on of Comey, McCabe and other top FBI agents , the mass resignations are being kept from us and our countries enemies because the FBI has been so weakened. - Tom /S

[Albion Wilde]

Preach it, be-baw!

"I’m going to have to call out BS on that. Name even one."

Lon Horiuchi.

You mean the guy that murdered a woman and her newborn child?

[SENTINEL]

That was meant as sarcasm.

[djstex]

Thanks for the ping!

[Ransomed]

The FBI budget is around 9 billion with 35,000 or so employees they deign to let us to know about. Nothing is going to happen to it. It was probably too late 50+ years ago to do anything about changing the culture of the FBI.

"Ecc 8:11 (NIV) "When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out, people’s hearts are filled with schemes to do wrong.""

Excellent.

Those going after these criminals, especially Obama and Clintons, have to have an airtight case. If the evidence isn’t overwhelming, media will spin it as a conspiracy. I trust they know what they’re doing, pray it works.

The SWAT units & armed personnel are just a symptom of a much bigger problem. I can assure you, at some point, if we continue to allow uncontrolled immigration into this country from Africa and the Middle East we’re going to need those SWAT units, Bearcats, MRAPs and armed personnel.

However, the US Dept of Education using an Entry Team for unpaid student loans? Nope ... http://www.truthistreason.net/dept-of-education-swat-team-kicks-in-door-for-outstanding-student-loans-haydens-note-attached

The larger problem for me is, when were they granted so much power and why does the government feel it necessary to bully the people like this?

[Olog-hai]

Discredit, and eventually dismantle, the FBI.

— Communist goal #35

Almost achieved, and from within too.

[jazminerose]

Truth.

Those line agents also despised Comey. They’re the ones who anointed him “Cardinal”. It’s not a compliment.

[mdmathis6]

Imagine the reaction if all 535 members of congress and senate were sent that verse by thousands of people all in a week....

[Ann Archy]

Democrats are LAW-LESS because Republicans are BALL-LESS!

[Travis McGee]

Keep in mind: Brennan voted for Gus Hall, a radical USA-hating Communist, in 1976. He admitted doing so in 1980 on his CIA polygraph, and he was hired anyway. That was 1980.

College output is fedgov input. Imagine how much worse it is today, after generations of embedded SJW feds hiring and promoting more of their kind.

If there is a CW, the FLEAs are going to be solidly on the side of team tyranny.

After decades in the FBI, the top brass came to believe they could flout the law and pursue their own political agendas.

A 'must read'...

[philman_36]

Hanson has got to be kidding us with this article.
Surely he knows that this was a small clique of people.
They heard things. They knew things.
Everybody does no matter where they work.
20 years of things learned at 'water cooler conversations'.
Eavesdropping on conversations of coworkers at lunch or at functions.
A complaint about someone and then a meeting to 'feel them out',
test their loyalty and possibly bring them on board.
They knew who to, and not to, let into their inner circle.

Whether it's called the good ol' boys club, the friends and family plan, the country club, the jocks, the pom poms, the nerds, the geeks...whatever the euphemism...there is always a group of like minded people who congregate together. This particular group could be called the 'Bad Boys In Black Suits' (BBIBS).

It just so happens in this instance that all of the bad actors were gathered in one place and fortunately so. Rooting them out became so much easier.

The topmost people were probably offered cushy jobs with the presumed incoming administration where they would have continued doing the very things they were doing before, but with even greater latitude and complete immunity for wrongdoing.

They would then have continued rewarding the others with better jobs as they moved higher up the food chain while looking for more people of suspect character to fill their previous role.

And then came the election and it all came crashing down around them as 'their guy' didn't win.

JMO, JMMV

Well, if the National Review isn’t pro-Trump, at least they’re becoming anti-anti-Trump.

[PGalt]

The "FBI" SHOULD Be ABOLISHED and it's "Assets" BURNED to the ground. AND it's "People" tried for TREASON and SHOT!

WORTH REPEATING. Thanks.
