The FBI was at one time thought to be the premier law enforcement agency in the world. Sadly, it has become nothing more than a shield for the democrat party. It became egregious in 2016
We learned that in the final days of the 2016 presidential race, when the Clinton campaign came up with the Steele dossier, a collection of sensational and unsupported allegations about Trump and Russia, the FBI used the dossier to win approval to wiretap Carter Page, a low-level former Trump campaign adviser. Then we learned that also in 2016, the FBI used a confidential informant, a professor named Stefan Halper, to spy on Page and George Papadopoulos, another low-level Trump adviser. Then we learned that in 2016, the FBI sent an undercover agent — a woman who used the alias Azra Turk — to secretly record conversations with Papadopoulos.FBI Attorney Kevin Clinesmith altered a document to frame Carter Page.
The spying began in early 2016 as a robust opposition research tactic of the Hillary Clinton campaign and transformed into an “insurance policy” to handicap the Trump Administration after his unpredictable victory.The FBI made “17 errors” in their FISA warrants that all went against TrumpClinesmith was so intent on spying on Carter Page, an unpaid advisor to the Trump campaign, that he lied to the secret FISA court and doctored an official document to misrepresent that Page had not cooperated with the CIA in past investigations involving Russian espionage.
DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz released a report in December 2019 that criticized the Justice Department and the FBI for at least 17 “significant errors and omissions” related to the FISA surveillance of former Trump campaign associate Carter Page, who was never charged with a crime and denied any wrongdoing, as well as the heavy reliance on British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s discredited Democratic-funded dossier to obtain the wiretap authority.The FBI let Hillary Clinton walk despite agreeing that she had handled classified materials “recklessly.”
FBI agent Bill Priestap opened Crossfire Hurricane without a predicate and put an openly anti-Trump hostile Peter Strzok in charge of it.
The FBI obtained Hunter Biden’s diary in 2019. They sat on it all through the 2020 election. The FBI colluded with Facebook to smother the Hunter Biden laptop truth. It fed lies to Facebook but it wants nothing to do with that.
I was twice suspended by Facebook for posting articles about the laptop.The FBI on Friday did not deny it warned Facebook of the imminent “dump” of “Russian propaganda” before the story of Hunter Biden’s laptop broke in the 2020 election cycle.
The agency did, however, try and distance itself from the Facebook actions the bureau fueled. NBC News reported the FBI admitted the bureau did provide “companies with ‘foreign threat indicators’ to help protect their platforms and customers, but that it ‘cannot ask, or direct, companies to take action on information received.’”
And then we have SSA Timothy Thibault
The Justice Department’s watchdog said an FBI official handling sensitive criminal cases in the nation’s capital may have violated the law due to his partisan social media posts, many of which criticized then-President Donald Trump and then-Attorney General William Barr.The FBI put him in charge of the Trump raid. For a thorough analysis of how bad he is, go here. For instanceDOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz revealed that Timothy Thibault, the FBI assistant special agent in charge at the Washington Field Office, may have broken the Hatch Act, an inconsistently enforced 1939 law that precludes most executive branch federal employees from engaging in electioneering and political activity.
4. Gone unnoticed thus far is that the #whistleblowers reported Thibault and another official were "deeply involved" in initiating the "false-electors scheme" probe that @washingtonpost reported in the article linked above. pic.twitter.com/dBhOOMafEU

And then there’s Brian Auten, another member of the Washington Field Office

Amen.
Democrat ‘s private police.
We are going to have to do the 1860’s all over again to fix
the problem.
Federal Bureau of Infamy. How many times do I have to say it? Forever probably.
Government has grown too big in every way, and is corrupt.
All government must be downsized, and power must be returned locally.
The FIB officials responsible for such treasonous actions need to be arrested, tried, convicted, and sentenced to become one-time rope testers.
And treason has no statute of limitations.
It was NEVER a premier law enforcement agency. Hoover was corrupt and the entire organization is built in his image.
The FBI must be defunded and dismantled
Wishful thinking, keep on dreaming as it will never happen it only will get worse.
FBI and DOJ goons
Goons
A disgrace to America.
And the leaders must be prosecuted.
First and foremost it needs to be restructured.
Most of all, the FBI, should be moved to middle America.
I believe Minot ND should now be the HQ. That’s the way to address this, let them experience the people they are supposed to.
They are the NKVD of the Soviet era. The Peoples Commissariat for Internal Affairs.
yes always corrupt
under hoover the pr worked
now not so much
If the fbi would stop taking orders to break the law from corrupt politicians, it would get some respect back. As of now, it deserves no respect.
Can we do the CIA too?
All these type of op ed pieces telling us “something must be done” never tell us who is going to do that something or how.
The real reason the FBI doesn’t want to record interviews is Title 18 of the United States Code, section 1001, the so-called federal false statements law. Without recordings, the sole arbiter of what an interviewee says, is the FBI and its form 302. The threat of a charge if the interviewee is called to testify before a grand jury, or at trial, ensures testimony that is favorable to the prosecution. As noted by Harvey Silverglate:
Thus, the 302 reports are not there just to help the FBI report on interrogations; they are key tools for later manipulating witness testimony in a courtroom.
New York attorney Eric Dixon writes:
If the FBI wants to talk to you, they may be setting a trap for you where you walk into the interview totally innocent, and are totally vulnerable to being charged with a crime afterwards, no matter what you say.
Is it dangerous to even read this thread?
The president is technically the chief executive. But the military and intelligence community decide for themselves what the president, Congress, or the courts can be allowed to know, and what must be withheld "for national security purposes."
They don't even hide it. I think it's the law.

You beat me to it. However, I will say that the FBI has a premiere public relations department. To this day most people erroneously respect it.
