The fbi stole money. and was not prosecuted.
I thought this was over. Unsettling that it continues…
I wonder about people who keep coin collections worth more than$5k
The FBI are criminals.
Sounds like they struck it rich. Too bad they can’t just keep it all. Or will they.
The agents responsible should be summarily shot. Period.
Pour encouragez les qutres.
Any bets that nothing was stolen by the FBI? Any bets that the conversation behind closed doors wasn’t, No F’n Judge is gonna order us like that. And any bets that the information gathered was destroyed? Pete Strzok is the face and mind of the FBI.
The black-robed fossils don't seem to understand that the records are NEVER going away, once they enter the system.
And the feds are going to keep watching the ones they tried to bring criminal charges against, due to the contents of their safe deposit boxes.
Mortal wound to the Fourth Amendment.
Can a bunch of limp wristed guys in black dresses really slam anything?
Civil forfeiture laws are nothing but robbery. Police (federal or state or local) that forces the owner to spend a single penny to get your own money back is theft. No crime then no forfeiture. It should be that simple. Police “holding” property after an encounter requiring legal effort to get your own stuff back is theft. I don’t care the reason. It’s one of the reason why we pushed the king out of the USA.
I am sure there are plenty here at FR that will contort themselves into pretzels in order to seize ‘drug money” without a criminal prosecution. Unfortunately there are plenty of boot lickers in this county unto its them. They will say no one needs that much freedom.
The world of law enforcement and intelligence is too juicy for normal men to stay unstained.
The FBI stole money and property, they also aren’t going to destroy the records they generated OR return the property they illegally siezed.
DEA at airports
The Civil War gold is another place where the FBI was crooked.
Where’s the justice? Answer; there isn’t any. And all the talking heads say the FBI field agents are hard working and honest. That’s obviously BS!
duly noted
for what its worth, the corrupt DOJ FeralBureauIntimidation/Interrogation doesn’t give a damn.
-fJRoberts-
over the years I wondered about this incident.
straight-line thinking suggests they were looking for something very very valuable and specific, and all the rest is just gravy/opportunism/obfusication.
if correct, I wonder what they were after. my best theory was a crypto memory stick with huge notional value. there are some out there, apparently.
The FBI committed armed robbery. They should arrest themselves.
“Slams” Hardly a legal term. If nobody goes to prison, a slam is as real as praise. They mean nothing in a legal case.
