...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time...headquarters, with bureau bosses and their lawyers barred from the premises and from contact with anyone inside.
Under these conditions, a crack team of independent Sherlocks, deploying the latest forensic and high-tech tools, could be turned loose on all FBI files and records. The first thing this team might uncover is recent FBI action in a high-profile whistleblower case. Back on February 21, 2020, Philip Haney, author of See Something Say Nothing: A Homeland Security Officer Exposes the Government’s Submission to Jihad was "found deceased" in Amador County, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, killed by a gunshot to the chest. Despite rumors, Haney’s death was not a suicide.
The Amador sheriff, "reached out to the Federal Bureau of Investigation to assist in analyzing documents, phone records, numerous thumb drives and a lap top that were recovered from the scene and Mr. Haney’s RV. Those items and numerous other pieces of evidence, were turned over to the FBI. The FBI has performed a forensic examination of these items. We expect to receive these reports within the next few weeks." More than two years later, there is no news on Haney’s thumb drives, documents and laptop in FBI custody.
With the evasive Christopher Wray removed from the J. Edgar Hoover FBI Building, independent Sherlocks could retrieve this material and possibly develop leads in the Haney homicide case. Somebody had motive, means, and opportunity. As Rod Steiger said in In the Heat of the Night, "we have the body, which is dead." If Sherlocks establish that the FBI destroyed or altered evidence, that would make for an obstruction of justice case against those responsible, and any FBI bosses who signed off on it.
