Can the FBI's Reputation Sink Any Lower?
2022-10-11
[SPECTATOR.ORG] This week Department of Justice (DOJ) Special Counsel John Durham will begin presenting evidence in the trial of Igor Danchenko, the serial liar whom the FBI used as its "source" to justify spying on the Trump campaign. Durham has already made a bombshell disclosure that the FBI secretly put Danchenko on the bureau’s payroll despite knowing that the information he fed them was fabricated. There is much speculation that more evidence of the bureau’s misconduct will be revealed as the Danchenko trial unfolds.

Danchenko was the principal "source" for bogus tales about former President Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
, including the infamous (and fictional) pee tape. Danchenko’s lurid fiction was the centerpiece of the discredited Steele dossier. The dossier was not verified intelligence; rather, it was a political hit job compiled by the Clinton campaign and paid for by the Democratic National Committee. Yet, then—FBI Director JamesThe spine of the FBI is the rule of law Comey

#12  ...I believe DoD has the tools to make that happen, but won't out of professional courtesy. :)

#10  A national police force may well be one of the motives behind the Defund the Police and Elect Crime-Friendly DA's. Like the War on Energy/Fossil fuel vehicles to move most people into urban environments reliant on mass transit, and the push for cyber currency and an end to paper records. Consider the power center those collective policies create on the Potomac, and who runs large parts of it now.

#9  CBN - ‘Why are You Banging on My Door With a Gun?’: Video of Purported FBI Raid on Pro-Lifer Emerges

The FBI is going to kick down a door and find an armed insurrection on the other side.

So...how many drugs is door knocker on, or does it not count if he quits smoking meth before midnight?

About the only thing more awkward than the backing up is Sergeant Syrup rolling in from the tree row.

Not a good look.

#8  Well, about the only way their reputation could sink lower would be to come in the open and adopt the slogan "The Sword and Shield of the Party".
At least then they would be being honest.

#5  Embed a Texas Ranger or two maybe, but FBI, I think they might find pushback.

#4  Carlson ran a story on this last evening and had Mr. Vaughn and his lawyer on also:

I really do not think this is going to end well.

#3  Remember when Obama wanted to eliminate local police forces and replace them with a federal agency?

THIS is why.

#2  A very real threat could be the federalization or subordination of selected local law enforcement agencies by embedding advisors or special detachments within senior decision maker chains of command. As local law enforcement agencies are unable to respond or cope with increasing crime and violence, federalization of those agencies would permit the federal government to exercise operational control.

The current "Defund the Police" movement could bring about a further deterioration of local law enforcement and require such a federalization.

This expanded FBI mission would require personnel augmentation to key geographic areas. The first phase of this augmentation could see an initial surge of 80,000 additional federal agents.
