Hey FBI. The Bank of Credibility called. You are overdrawn. They are closing your account.

Never again a respected agency.

One of the best posts I’ve read on this subject in awhile...

It has allowed itself to be captured by ideology and political purpose.

There is no going back from this either. We have been waiting a long time for those so-called "brick agents" to rally against the politicization of the agency. Never happened. Never will. Remember Ruby Ridge? Waco? And numerous scandals since? At this point the notion that the FBI rank and file are good guys is laughable.

“The FBI doesn’t waste its time pursuing misdemeanors.” I recall this statement from an early lecture by Michael J. “Bull” Bulzomi, a hilarious and legendary FBI agent and legal instructor. Bull was brash and to the point. He was loud and entertaining. He didn’t mince words while others might toe the line. The FBI doesn’t waste time with misdemeanors because the FBI is only interested in big fish. Major fraud. Interstate organized crime. Bonnie and Clyde. The Dillinger Gang. Big game. That is the lesson every bureau trainee learns.

As a special agent of the FBI, you don’t waste your time on minnows. Your job is to land whales.

There was a time when the FBI was tough AND honorable - seems so long ago.

Disband the Fb, burn the building, urinate on the ashes. Every damned one of them is a corrupt crooked SS gangster for the swamp and democrats. Not a single one can be trusted. There is not such thing as “but the rank and file.” Every damned one of them should be viewed as one who wants to frame you, throw you in prison, or murder you.

I wish that was hyperbole.

I watched the arrest video, and was struck by the drabness of the arresting officers’ uniforms.

Given the newly expanded role of the FBI in law enforcement, shouldn’t Chris Wray commission Hugo Boss to design a snappier uniform?
