    Yeah, Repubs hate when the FBI investigates all criminals, not just they people they want investigated.

    Not only are the Department of Justice and the FBI convicted of spying on more than 260,000 American citizens and then lying about it, they seem proud of what they have done. If this doesn’t strike fear into your heart, you should wake up.

    There are 160,000 inmates in federal prison (about 50% drug related). How many were convicted due to questionable FBI investigations/testimony? It is estimated about 20% of federal inmates are innocent who were forced to take plea deals to avoid life time prison sentences.

    It was reported in research from Penn State in 2001, that there are an estimated + – 300,000 unwanted and unloved children who are slaves to or working for the sex industry in this country, How many have the FBI recovered? less than 200, not a steller record for them or any other police organization.

    Ex-FBI assistant director torches Jordan’s “whistleblower” hearing: The FBI just “called his bluff”

    Friend’s clearance was revoked after he refused to participate in an arrest of a Jan. 6 suspect and “espoused an alternative narrative about the events at the U.S. Capitol,” according to the FBI’s letter. Allen’s clearance was stripped after he “expressed sympathy for persons or organizations that advocate, threaten or use force or violence.”

    Figliuzzi told MSNBC that the revelation shows “Jordan wasn’t ready for this.”

    “The FBI has called his bluff with this letter,” he said. “It means the FBI has about had it with the myth that they’re retaliating against employees for merely expressing conservative opinions. I lost the date, but apparently, we’re to believe the FBI is a left-wing liberal organization. That’s absolutely nonsense.”

    Ryan Goodman, a professor at New York University School of Law, tweeted that the letter pulled the “rug out from under Jim Jordan’s witnesses,” noting the “very serious wrongdoing” alleged in the letter.

    The FBI has rejected the GOP’s claims that the agents qualify as protected “whistleblowers” and Friend and suspended FBI special agent Garrett O’Boyle on Thursday testified that they both received money from Trump ally Kash Patel. Friend characterized the money as a “donation.”

    “Are you a charitable organization?” questioned Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y.

    “I was an unpaid, indefinitely suspended man trying to feed his family. And he’s reached out to me and said he wanted to give me a donation,” Friend replied.

    Tell me again how nurturing division/distrust/intolerance/envy/hatred through lies, innuendo, and conspiracy stories makes America stronger, more stable, and more secure for everyone.

    Bok is giving more credit to the committee hearings than is deserved. Out of the tens of thousands of FBI employees, Jim Jordan found a mere few agents who lost their security clearances due to their radical views on Jan. 6. Two of which are being paid by Ex Trump official, Kash Patel. Yeah, they’re credible.

    The text exchanges between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page were a clear and early indicator (2016) that something was /is very wrong with the FBI, and that they might not be trustworthy when investigating political entities.

    The dark money billionaires are the deep state. And, the vast majority are extreme right-wing, pretending to be conservative when they really are funding institutions to take advantage of the weaknesses of our political structures to create an environment favorable to them – they are the real “elites” and they don’t care at all about the people that they are manipulating toward extremism. They will always be above the fray, no matter what happens, and the rest of us will suffer the consequences.

    Off topic but you won a point, your tennis score is 5-40. (Source Vanity Fair) “The FBI had received 4,500! — tips about Kavanaugh . . . . And now, the FBI has confirmed that, yeah, it didn’t really feel the need to look into any of those tips.” Who investigated Kavanaugh in the FBI? No one." But he likes beer.
