Another Clintonista legacy.

Talk about "sleepers"!! I'll bet that the FBI is full of Clintoon/Reno/Freeh dreck.

Directly before the 11 SEP attacks, the FBI was futilely trying to dig its way out of a LaBrea tarpit of incompetence, scandal and Clinton-favoring stonewalling. Then - "Voila!" - they're great again because we were attacked.

Sorry folks, things don't change that fast in a bureaucracy, and that's is exactly what Clinton, Reno and Freeeh made the FBI into, a tame police force.

As a long time defense lawyer, I can tell you the elitist temperament of the FBI and the BATF started long before Clinton's administration. They feel themselves not only above local law enforcement, but above the law itself. They are masters of testiphony, trained to distort the truth and even out and out lie in court to get around inconvenient judicial decisions, and everyone in the courtroom knows it. Some local cops do the same thing, but not on the scale the feds do it. They are also trained to talk defendants into distrusting their defense attorneys, waive their invaluable constitutional rights, and turn into confidential informants, turning a nation against itself in the war on drugs. They have a view of the rest of us akin to what the Nazis developed toward the Jews. If we smoke marijuana, or possess handguns, or criticize the status quo, we are something less than human. It is a shame that the GOP, which so often is the last bastion of hope for freedom, fails to see that its incessant feeding of the crime control establishment is eroding what little freedom we have left.
