The FBI “overstepping” is now the rule, not the exception.
Time to expand the Texas Rangers and allow them to take over duties of the FBI. Fire ALL FBI personnel to make sure you got the right villains.
In other words, a compliment from one agency to another. The words of the judge have no legal weight whatsoever. A joke.
You unlawfully take someone’s property, and you’ll be charged with a crime.
The police unlawfully take someone’s property, and… well, nothing.
This country needs to take a second look at the concept of “qualified immunity.” I believe it’s necessary when the police are forced to make snap decisions while under pressure. But it shouldn’t apply in cases like the one here.
Every last person involved should be facing multiple FELONY charges by the State, but it’s California, probably have a parade for the criminals.
I trust Adolis Garcia and Corey Seager much more than those FBI scum!
How much of that stuff disappeared and will never be seen again? I suspect a great deal of it...
Obama/Holder’s FBI
Oh, sorry, our bad! 🖕
Blah, blah, blah.
Where are the repercussions against the perpetrators of the this atrocity?
This just pisses me off. No mention of any punishment of the FBI at any level. The person who headed this search should be fined, fired, and publicly humiliated.
Unless specific individuals were named in the search warrant there was no reason for a massive taking of personal property. And while the lawyers fight over whether to allow destruction of any paper trail involving the raid, you can bet that a significant amount of the money has been converted into private yachts, cars, etc and some jewelry being given to FIB wives for birthday, anniversary, etc. Even if the FIBs found something illegal, it cannot be allowed as evidence in a future legal action.
This was a taking, basically theft pure and simple.
Now let’s see if the FBI gives everything back. I expect they won’t.
Oopsie. Our bad.
The FBI should be forced to pay enormous fines for their attempt at ‘insurrection’.
The appeals court is wrong. The FBI did not “overstep their authority”. They acted like the common criminals they are, then conducted a conspiracy to attempt to regularize their criminal actions. Note that not one single FBI idiot bothered to step up and say “hey, the warrant only allows us to look at specific boxes, not to steal everything here.”
We need to completely get rid of the government having *ANY* say over what people do with their money.
All the alleged drug trafficking and other crime is less damaging to our country than police abuse of power.
There shouldn’t even *BE* such a crime as ‘money laundering’ nor should there ever be civil asset forfeiture except AFTER a conviction in court by a jury.
I worry more about the FBI than any supposed cartel.
The FBI Operations manual today happens to have been written by Saul Alinsky, Francis Fox Piven, and Richard A. Cloward. The swearing oath of agency staff has been altered to Alinsky's Rules for Radicals instead of the Constitution.
