The FBI is out of control. Of course, perceptive observers have known this for some time. The FBI believes that they are not accountable to the legislative branch of our government. Nor do they believe that they are they accountable under the criminal justice statutes of our country. Sam Faddis has posted an article that delineates all of this in detail.
The expression “crossing the Rubicon” refers to the actions of Julius Caesar in crossing the Rubicon River and marching on Rome. Roman armies were forbidden to do so. The rule was very practical. The Romans understood the danger of allowing a large armed force to march on the capital city. To allow this might spell the end of the republic. Best that popular conquering generals and their armies stay a safe distance away and respect the democratic institutions at the heart of Roman democracy.
Caesar broke the rule. He marched on Rome. He didn’t care what the Senators thought. The rest is history. Within a generation, there was no republic.
The FBI has now taken similar action. It has signaled in the clearest possible manner it does not care what the people or their elected representatives think. It will do what it pleases, and the consequences be damned.
The recently released Durham report paints a graphic picture of an agency out of control. The FBI did not blunder into an investigation of Donald Trump, his campaign, and his associates. The FBI undertook to deliberately destroy Trump and those around him including General Flynn. The FBI took unto itself the power to decide who could be President.
The General Flynn case is an egregious example of this. Obama knew there was no election interference by the Russians. He knew about the fabricated stories of “Russian collusion.” Obama expelled 30 Russian diplomats because of “election interference” anyway. He was helping to perpetrate a fraud on the American people. Obama was trying to get Trump ousted from the presidency. If unsuccessful in that, he was trying to hamstring the incoming administration.
As it turns out, part of that effort was getting rid of Michael Flynn from Trump’s inner circle. Flynn’s inside knowledge of how things worked was very dangerous to the cabal. The cabal knew that the Russian foreign minister would contact Flynn to discuss this. Flynn was vacationing out of the country at the time. Flynn knew that the call was probably being monitored. So, all he said was not to worry about it.
This created a problem for the coup plotters. So, Comey sent two FBI agents in to see if they could trip Flynn up into a process crime of lying to the FBI. One agent wrote a report that said he felt that Flynn was truthful. He. was later transferred to the San Francisco office. Thus Michael Flynn’s ordeal with the justice system began. They tried to set him up and when that failed, they went ahead with the process crime anyway.
The FBI interfered in our elections again in 2020 when they buried the Hunter Biden laptop story. Now they are refusing to turn over to Congress a document that a whistleblower says shows that Joe Biden took a $5 million bribe.
The House Oversight Committee is investigating the possibility that the current President of the United States took money from foreign interests, including Communist China, in exchange for policy decisions. In other words, the House is pursuing evidence that suggests pretty strongly that Joe Biden works for Beijing. As part of that investigation, the House has demanded from the FBI copies of reports that apparently show the FBI knew about this some time ago.
The FBI has refused to provide the documents. Meanwhile, there are continuing reports that whistleblowers from within the federal workforce who provide information about the Bidens are being retaliated against and sidelined. In some cases, they have had their security clearances taken away and been suspended without pay. That’s what happens to FBI agents who think Congress is still in charge.
The FBI has gone rogue. They believe they are not accountable to anyone. Information just surfacing indicates that the FBI routinely used FISA warrants to spy on domestic political opponents inside the United States.
The FBI no longer answers to the elected representatives of the American people nor does it care what they think. It did not get sloppy. It did not make some errors in judgment. Its leaders decided that they were entitled to do whatever they chose and to ignore our laws, our traditions, and the judgment of the nation’s citizens.
The FBI has crossed the Rubicon. The agency no longer serves the American people. They believe they know what is best for America. And they will continue to act in the future as they have in the past. The FBI must be ended.
