Yup. This guy was very smart.
The FBI is dirty as hell/
Cover for the Clinton Crime syndicate?
You bet cha.
Cover for the Biden crime syndicate?
You bet cha.
Go After The Donald for NO reason? You betcha that’s todays Lying horse crap FBI.
A decentralized national investigative structure, overseen by the states but controlled by the commander-in-chief on a case-by-case basis, may be the best way to restore confidence that such an agency is not corrupted by national party bloc interests.
What if the FBI were disbanded as a federal agency, and replaced by a different organization that was populated by the states themselves?
- Each state would delegate a number of investigators to serve at the pleasure of their home state, and this body would become a decentralized federal investigative bureau, managed by the states.
- As is with the militia, the Constitution provides for calling up the militias for national service, but the officers are selected by the states.
- It isn't a stretch to declare that state militias have investigators as a component of a military police, perhaps made up of local police department detectives who are also in the state national guard reserves.
- Use the militia clause in the Constitution to call up the state militias' investigative arms for federal service, with state appointed officers.
- Each state can create a branch of their militia as MPs, or detectives. These people would report to militia officers appointed within each state, and then these militia branches (officers and detectives) would be called up at the request the Commander-In-Chief and approval by Congress (Article I Section 8: "to provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions,") to serve a national priority such as investigating a particular federal crime, under the authority of state officers, not federal bureaucrats.
- The state officers will report directly to the Commander-In-Chief (Article II Section II: "The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States").
- Once the investigation is complete, the investigating team is released back to the states.
- If a crime occurred in one state, then the militia police from another state can be called up to investigate.
- Several investigations across several states can operate in parallel, if needed.
Root cause analyses looks for systemic causes of failures, not behavioral causes.
- Part of that review is identifying the protective systems that were in place to prevent what happened from happening, and to brainstorm additional protective systems to catch whatever still slipped through.
- Management enforcement of process compliance with consequences for failure to comply is a protective system.
- Lax management enforcement of process compliance might be a systemic cause if the fix were to reinforce the importance of process compliance and put consequences on management for lack of process discipline.
- However, in the recent examples of FBI failure, management was not lax in oversight, they were also complicit actors in avoiding the process. This is still behavioral, so the systemic root cause is not yet found.
- I'm going to suggest that the systemic root cause of the recent FBI disfunction is the "independent" nature of the FBI itself.
- This was magnified by the behavioral causes that top management felt they were unaccountable to anyone;
- that a single ideological mindset became established through years of political appointments that controlled the hiring practices of lower-level staff;
- that using management reinforcement to correct the root cause was ineffective given that management was a part of the problem, if not leading the effort.
- Therefore, we must look to other protective systems for corrections.
- One protective system is the Inspector General. While this seems to be working now, in hindsight it doesn't seem to have been effective at the time the actions were taking place.
- When the bad actors are the top management itself in a department, an IG is too easily bypassed. Therefore, a new protective system must be put in place.
- My proposed corrective system is to replace a federal-centric FBI with a state-centric investigative agency.
- This agency would have distributed leadership, since by following the militia model in the Constitution, the "officers" would be selected by the states and would be subject to recall at the whim of the home state.
- A single monolithic mindset cannot become entrenched, since concerned states can replace their officers at any time.
- I suggested attaching this investigative militia to the Commander-In-Chief directly on a case-by-case basis, with some provision for a senior officer hierarchy to manage separate state contingents.
- Since Congress has the authority to call up the militia, but the President is the Commander-In-Chief of the militia, there is a check-and-balance already in place.
- If a state investigative team finds evidence of a crime, the President can refer charges to the Department of Justice for further prosecutorial action.
- There would be no need for a Special Prosecutor, as the investigative arm of the called up militia units can do this.
- The Department of Justice can aid the investigations with grand juries, and criminal referrals would be passed along to the Department of Justice for action.
- The President can then release the militia units back to the states, preventing a runaway special prosecutor from expanding the scope of the investigation.
- "Process crimes," such as lying to the FBI, would go away as an especially nefarious tool of an over-zealous prosecutor.

I totally agree with you and so does Rick Grennell!!
Not every agent is part of a conspiracy. There are some who do follow the rules. I was just suggesting a way to verify if the FBI did take the laptop.
Nothing would screw Trump over more than to have an “October surprise” blow up in his face.
Seems awfully convenient this story would break so close to the election. Think Bush and Dan Rather plusTrump and the Access Hollywood story.
“There should also be a property tag that shows a laptop was turned in.”
He did not turn the laptop in; rather, the FBI seized the laptop pursuant to a subpoena that the DOJ issued allegedly with respect to an ongoing grand jury investigation. Poto of subpoena at link:
https://nypost.com/2020/10/14/email-reveals-how-hunter-biden-introduced-ukrainian-biz-man-to-dad/
Thanks for the link. I wasn’t aware there was a Grand Jury Subpoena involved. The way the story initially broke, it sounded like he saw the Biden emails, notified the FBI and the Bureau picked up the laptop.
There was some initial question as to the veracity of the story at the onset.
If the FBI has had custody of the laptop since December, in all likelihood, the forensics lab has already determined the authenticity of the emails and Hunter is probably in deep $hit.
As for “my guy” if that turns out to be his dad, it could turn off many independent voters, but will be a resume enhancer for hard-core Dems.

Sorry for the double post.
Sounds like he needs to talk to the fbi who have taken it for “safe keeping”. Good thing the repairman made a copy of the hard drive and gave it to Rudy Giuliani.
Yup, hard to deny.
Oh, this is an October surprise!
I am sure Giuliani sat on this for a while and released it just in the time. He is also holding more stuff, so this will be going on till the election. Drip, drip, drip. I am wandering how much does he has? He went to Ukraine few times. The current government of Ukraine is different (opposition) of the one Biden bribed, so I would imagine they would not keep the secrets too hard.
Our guys finally learned how to play the game!
Trump sister mentioned, that trying to fight him is useless, he always wins!
The FBI gave Hunter’s laptop the same treatment they gave too Weiner’s.
I’ll bet they were surprised to find out the computer guy made a HD back up.
I recall reading an article in early summer about an active grand jury investigation concerning Hunter Biden. Maybe there really is a very real and series investigation which requires FBI confidentiality. /s Must be the red wine speaking. Silly me.
Having spent an entire career in law enforcement, a part of me wants to believe there are still honorable people who, like Judge Barrett, love the law. Unfortunately, it seems everything today is political.
I think it started changing in the 80’s when it went from a career to a job.
