Good article, but that numbered list left out something huge. The FBI, under Comey, “investigated” candidate Hillary Clinton over using her private e-mail to send classified documents.
Result? Comey took to national TV to lay out how Clinton was guilty of criminal incompetence, only to add that he wouldn’t recommend charging her, because no one had been charged for that in over 100 years.
It was the first time the FBI, in any capacity, had ever publicly cleared anyone to that degree, for anything. And doing so because no one had been charged under that law in a century was not their call to make, but they made it. More tellingly, this was just a few months before the FBI started digging into the Trump transition team, looking for Logan Act violations. The last Logan Act indictment was in 1852.
There’s also the little detail of MArk Zuckemburg’s written (under penalty of perjury) statement to congress, his mea culpa for going along with censorship on Covid and, also, the Hunter Biden laptop. HE mentioned that a team of FBI agents told him the latter was “Russian disinfo”. This was just before the 2020 election (So, Trump was in the white house), which makes it very interesting; who sent them? I feel fairly sure it wasn’t Trump (who was desperately trying to get the laptop story out, not suppress it).
My take; even at worst, Trump’s critics are right, and he’s going to do to them what they did to Republicans (and America). If so, so be it; they’ve earned it.
A job fit for Hercules…
I love how the left is screaming about his appointment – how he will weaponize the FBI and go after political opponents.
So, business as usual
