So why are tax dollars used to support it? #defundFBI tell your congress critter and senators!
“That’s not the way our legal system should operate....using FBI investigations to search for crimes is antithetical to the American justice system’s purpose, Dershowitz said.
“......these are crimes that didn’t occur before the investigation...... They’re crimes that are part of the investigation. “
“That is, they’re generated by the investigation. They’re created by the investigators.””
“Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime”.
That is how all Federal cops operate.
Isn’t “lying to the FBI” what General Michael Flynn was convicted of?
It’s comforting to know that the federal police have been put in the service of the dem party rather than the constitution.
Law enforcement is probably the only endeavor where lying is not only permitted and sanctioned, but it is encouraged. As a direct consequence one should ALWAYS assume that they are lying until verified otherwise.
If it’s that weak, Sussman won’t roll over on anything. He’ll just laugh and tell them to bring it. Do you think any of the DC judges, for example Sullivan and Berman-Simmons are going to let him be convicted?
If the FBI IS LIKE THIS ...imagine what the CIAis like....
Where has Alan Dershowitz been? When was the last time the FBI actually caught a real criminal?
If it is a real crime they stand around with their thumbs up their butts and watch it happen.
If there is no crime, they specialize in manufacturing one. Either by getting someone to “lie” about what they had for dinner six months ago or by grabbing some room temperature IQ career criminal and encouraging him to commit a crime that he has no hope of pulling off. Or even starting to commit without half a dozen agents doing all the planning and ground work. And it would never occur to him in the first place without being prompted.
The poor schmuck might do 5% of the crime while the fbi is carrying 95% of the work, but he gets all the credit.
Dersh is assuming this indictment isn’t part of a cooperation deal
Don’t talk to the FBI is the message here. Seems to me the FBI is ruining their own credibility here and that’s something they really need to work on.
I hate agreeing with Dershbagowitz.
I agree but ask Martha Stewart. That’s what they got her on. They tried to get General Flynn on that.
From reading another article, this indictment had to be filed because the statute of limitations(5 years) on this crime expires tomorrow. Hopefully the whole conspiracy comes out and additional more serious charges come forward but the clock was running out on this one.
Seems likely that the constitutionality of the law forbidding one to lie to the FBI as been challenged. If I’m correct that would mean that it’s been upheld.
“Remember, too, these are crimes that didn’t occur, before the investigation,” he said. “They’re crimes that are part of the investigation. That is, they’re generated by the investigation. They’re created by the investigators.
In this case, Sussmann was putting this forward. It was a direct part of his deceit. Sussmann was creating it.
This isn’t analogous to a defendant trying to wiggle out of an accusation, nor getting trapped in a technical inconsistency. This is essentially Sussman bearing false witness, making extensive fraudulent accusations, and lying about where the accusation came from.
Dersh hasn’t come out against FBI charges process crimes like this in my memory.
I think he might have early stages of Joe Bidenmentia.
From the head of the agency to the lowliest functionary is a criminal in that cesspool.
