#15   they immediately jumped to that conclusion with zero proof.

Fair enough. I’m glad you lot think of such things — it completely didn’t occur to me.

#11  #5 Key point TW is that they immediately jumped to that conclusion with zero proof. How/why did they get there? Could it be they were aware of and surveiling the show just in case there was an "incident"? Very interested in those "active warrants" (round up the usual suspects).

#10  EVERY interaction I have had has been with ‘rank and file’ and has resulted in my deep and abiding distrust of them.

They lie and threaten, and undermine national security as easily as they breathe. Not a fan.

#9  Ref #7: That's the 'worst case scenario NoMoBS. I usually go with worst case. Upward adjustments are generally more pleasant.

#8  On the sunny side, they at least have their priorities straight. The very thought that somebody undertook a well planned and executed act of sabotage, hypothetically against Madame Lazonga and the boys is enough to make any loyal citizen's blood boil.

Them 'aire 45,000 can of course go pound sand. What need of evidence when they have the advantage of mind reading?

#7  It is my sense from open source reporting and personal observations that the infestation of the Federal government began in earnest under the Magic Kenyan and Holder. Key agencies like DHS, DoJ, FBI, CIA, NSA and Treasury were a particular focus. Over time, my sense is that the rot has spread increasingly downwards, so now, even the mid-level grades are deeply penetrated and political. Decent entrants still come onboard, but mid career, they learn to play the game or move on. The rot is the worst in major field offices located in deep blue urban areas.

#6  ^ Well. Punishing the innocent to stop the guilty is a dem gummint impulse.

#5  The article has updated since it was posted. Key point:

It was initially claimed online that the attack may have been to prevent a local drag queen story hour from taking place, but no evidence has emerged to support that claim.

#4  ^ Those people have insider knowledge of how the game is played. They won't do anything you will read about in the news, but the doing is probably already happening.

#3  Until and unless the rank file FBI starts arresting their bosses and their owners, I will continue to assume they are all traitors and part of the criminal enterprise known as the democrats.

#2  So they're leading with anti LGBTLMNOP narrative based on someone was planning to have a drag show so that MUST be why the locals are getting all supremacy-like. Sheesh.

#1  Since the FBI Leadership has jumped in using the TRANS Show angle.

I have to ask were any FBI or DC or LSD family in the show.☺

Side Note: I still feel the rank and file of the FBI are good and lawful. It is the Leadership that needs flushing to regain its place as the Best Law Enforcement agency staff in the world.
