Government Corruption
D'Souza: Abolish The FBI
2021-05-04
[ZERO] For a long time, the FBI has stood as the admirable symbol of a police agency of government, implacably going after the bad guys and neutrally enforcing the laws. This is the FBI of the movie "The Untouchables," in which special agent Eliot Ness leads his devoted crew of armed agents in a heroic battle against the forces of organized crime.

Well, forget about the Untouchables. Today’s FBI has quite obviously been corrupted from the top. This is a process that seems to have begun under President Barack Obama, endured during the Donald Trump years, and has now reached its unfortunate nadir under President Joe Biden. It’s time for conservatives and Republicans to start thinking about getting rid of the FBI.

I want to highlight two sets of contrasting episodes that give us a window into how biased and partisan this once-respected agency has now become.

#10  getting their phylum wrong

And when, a while later, ya dial 'em --
"Have I got a file?" -- and revile 'em...
"Why, yes! And for reference,
My phylum, by preference,
Is "reptile that runs the asylum."

#9  I don't think they have any functional watch lists. They probably fill in discovery on backdated forms and create records after the fact. Just to show that they have an incredible omniscient agency that 'knows everything'. They're just mediocre bungling schmucks who have defrauded and ass kissed their way into government service.

#8  I can remember more than once when a mass shooter, passed a background check despite being on some watch list. How did that ever happen twice?

#7  They were insulted because they're not insects...they're reptiles.

Misidentifying someone's gender is awful enough, but getting their phylum wrong is simply beyond the pale.

#6  Of course they hung up on me when I questioned which species of insects they belong to.

#5  The recent Alaska FBI incident, no knock, no warrant, breaking and entering, threatening an innocent couple, is just another straw that is driving the American camel to its knees. The FBI is a fascist organization and anyone with a dime of sense knows it.

#4  The FBI vs Giuliani raid was instigated by the Southern District of New York Attorney General's office (Hillary and Cuomo's turf) which I called and surprisingly a person answered who then got an earful. Of course they hung up on me when I questioned which species of insects they belong to.

A couple of years ago I called the local FBI office in my area and gave the agent an earful also. After that every time I got a call I got clicks as if someone was listening. Jerks.

You mean since the transvestite blackmailer, Hoover, was in charge? Given it's genesis, are you surprised at where its at today?

#2  not only the fbi but homeland security as well. The replacement should be charged with crime suppression and border protection. While were at it how about periodic re-acceptance of the supremes and moving the non-historic part of dc, ie congress to somewhere near topeka. And setting up secure land-line so that congress didn't have to reside in the new capitol.

#1  The political weaponization of the bureau has long been apparent. Their recent Giuliana raid simply highlights the obvious.
