An Old Instapundit "investigation" in which they contended that the question of the headline is hair on fire,

What do you think of their analysis now as opposed to then?

Pretty much; growing more that way every day, also.

From Ruby Ridge to Waco to the cowboy they killed in Oregon to how they’re handling the “Russian” investigation to Hogg’s Dad handing out stuffed animals to little illegal alien kids at the airport... you name it, it doesn’t make you confident in the integrity of the FBI to say the least.

Has the FBI 'become America's secret police,' like the KGB?

No, not like the KGB. To be the KGB, they’d have to be somewhat competent. They’re not much of a law enforcement agency either, as they’re experts and swooping in at the eleventh hour and stealing a nearly-complete investigations away from local departments for wins.

In reality, they’re more of a “cleanup” agency, experts a sweeping things under the rug for the Deep State. They’re sort of the Harvey Keitel character in Pulp Fiction, but without the gravitas.

Of course comparing the FBI to the KGB is hyperbole, but it does get the conversation started about the abuses we've seen in the failed operation to throw a duly elected President out of office. Still, a lot of innocent people were nailed on process crimes and are doing time in prison as the collateral damage inflicted by the attempt.

J. Edgar was an empire builder who worked very hard to keep domestic counterintelligence in the FBI and out of military intelligence and the CIA. That needs to be re-thought. Counterintelligence against people allegedly working with foreign agents is the hook Brennan, Comey and Rosenstein used to mount the coup attempt.

“Numerous historians of the FBI and the KGB say the comparison is ridiculous. The KGB implemented the goals of the Communist Party leadership, including countless examples of tortures and summary executions. The FBI, by contrast, is subject to the rule of law and is democratically accountable. We rate the statement Pants on Fire.”

Lavoy Finicium, Vicki Weaver, and dozens of women and children in Waco disagree. Roger Stone does and Manafort would but he’s in solitary.

Arresting people for political reasons is classic KGB.

Yes.

It’s been evident for years.

The entire agency is rotten to the core and should be shut down.

FBI’s reputation is in the crapper and deservedly so
