The FBI had a 270-page file on the late Aretha Franklin after spying on her for 40 years, an investigation from Rolling Stone has found.

IIRC, that song was inspired by one of the duo, Becker or Fagan, had a fling with a girl half their age that didn’t know who Aretha Franklin was...............

“They tried to connect her with communist radical orgs like the Black Panthers, Black Liberation Army, etc, but failed to make any connection.”

Rank amateurs compared to today’s FBI—which follows the Beria Rule:

“Show me the man, and I’ll show you the crime.”

I never said I trust the FBI but I don’t trust RS

Sounds like it could be true. For me child molestation would be dating a 55 year old woman! That reminds me of a great little Python sketch. Cleese was asking various characters who or what they’d tax. He gets to the “it’s” guy (the same one who’s at the introduction) who says “I’d tax Raquel Welsh...and I have a feeling she’d tax me”.

Hey Nineteen, that’s ‘Retha Franklin.

I was going to say “LOL! GREAT post!” but the phrase “Trumpster fire” in your tag caught my eye. *laughs nervously* Is someone going to try to light me on fire again? Because it’s not really that fun....

The thought of RS publishing fakenews about the FBI is enough to make your head explode. But, I don’t actually have an issue with the idea that both orgs are liars.

Further prove this worthless agency must go.

See my tag line.....

Maybe the assigned agents liked getting free agency-paid tickets to go to Aretha’s concerts.

FBI did indeed spy on MLK. For reasons.

That's where they got the good pot.

Don’t worry, it’s Libs that will burn this time, not Patriots.

[Gasshog]

FBI spent FORTY YEARS watching Aretha Franklin, so what was the price tag on this bit of work?

I guess R Stoned doesn’t include exposing G-ment waste in their investigations

[Demiurge2]

Just wait until Rolling Stone digs into the FBI spying on conservatives today....still waiting.... still waiting...
