Can the FBI be trusted? A Federalist analysis of agency lies over the last decade is an unequivocal no.

“Among Republicans, a staggering 76% agree with the Roger Stone quote that there is ‘a group of politicized thugs at the top of the FBI who are using the FBI . . . as Joe Biden‘s personal Gestapo.’ About half (49%) of independents and a sizable 37% of Democrats also view the FBI as Biden’s Gestapo, while 72% of liberals disagree,” Devine wrote.
“Liberals are happy because a politicized agency is coming after their ideological enemies, particularly their bête noire, Trump. It’s a stark turnaround from the days of decrying the FBI’s efforts to target Martin Luther King. The Left has discarded any pretense of caring about civil liberties or injustice and instead sneers at conservatives who they claim are the ones who have jettisoned their core principles and now are ‘anti-cop.’ ”

Last week’s raid by the Federal Bureau of Investigation on former President Donald Trump’s home has damaged the FBI’s standing with Republican and independent voters.
A new national telephone and online survey by Rasmussen Reports finds that 44% of Likely U.S. voters say the FBI raid on Trump’s Florida home made them trust the FBI less, compared to 29% who say it made them trust the bureau more. Twenty-three percent (23%) say the Trump raid did not make much difference in their trust of the FBI.

For the longest time, we were told that an informant on the inside of Mar-a-Lago, someone close to President Trump, alerted authorities he was holding onto super secret classified documents. Well, that’s not the half of it. Actually, the person isn’t tied to Mar-a-Lago, and they certainly are not “close” to Trump, but this person is close to Hillary, of course. Washington Times reports that the Aug. 8 search of former President Donald Trump’s home and the unprecedented criminal investigation into his possession of White House documents all began with David Ferriero, the now-retired national archivist who alerted the Justice Department after finding classified information in boxes he retrieved from Mar-a-Lago.

Just as the American mainstream media have become the propaganda arm of the Democratic party, so the once great FBI resembles little more than its private enforcement arm.
Attorney General Merrick Garland’s raid on Mar-a-Lago represented no more than an application of the principle that guided Stalinist Lavrentiy Beria, ‘Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime’.

The FBI collected all of the documents that were government property and used concerns about classified documents to justify the raid, but agents were looking for Trump’s personal stash containing documents related to Russian collusion accusations against him, fearing that he would “weaponize” them, Newsweek reported. One former Trump official said he may have planned to use the documents to help in a presidential run in the coming term.

At Newsweek, Liz Wheeler has jumped into the debate over what to do about the ongoing weaponization of the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation under Joe Biden and Merrick Garland in the aftermath of the FBI raid on Donald Trump’s home last week. She covers some of the current accusations against Garland and the Bureau that are rather difficult to simply brush aside as partisan bickering or paranoia. Chief among these is a reminder that it was Hillary Clinton’s lawyer, Marc Elias, who first suggested accusing Trump of hiding a classified document and then prosecuting him under Title 18 of U.S. Code 2071. If a conviction could be obtained, Trump would be barred from ever holding public office again.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation says that the threat of a civil war is increasing. A bulletin from the Department of Homeland Security and FBI was sent to law enforcement agencies warning of increased threats following the FBI’s execution of the search warrant at former President Trump’s Florida estate.
The DHS and FBI also said that a threat involved a “dirty bomb” that would be placed in front of FBI headquarters.

During his Fox News show on Monday night, host Tucker Carlson chillingly predicted that former President Donald Trump will be indicted in the wake of the FBI raiding his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida last week.
“There’s nothing to see here, that’s the line,” Carlson said, according to The Hill. He went on to list some Republicans whom he predicts will “say the same thing when the Biden Justice Department or some other state agency under their influence finally does what you know they’re going to do, and that’s indict Donald Trump.”
“Obviously they’re going to do that,” Carlson continued. “Who knows how, maybe they’ll produce surveillance video from Mar-a-Lago, apparently they’ve already subpoenaed that.”

An uptick in threats to the FBI after it executed a search warrant at former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate is unsettling the political right, with some calling on allies of the former president to tone down their rhetoric.
Barriers have been erected outside the perimeter of the FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C., while the FBI and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reportedly issued a joint bulletin Friday warning about spikes in threats that included a bomb threat at FBI headquarters and calls for “civil war” and “armed rebellion.”

A former FBI agent blasted claims that President Joe Biden was not briefed on the Aug. 8 raid on Mar-a-Lago during a Fox News appearance early Monday morning.
“The soundbite you played there just a second ago from the White House is a blatant lie,” Jonathan Gilliam, who served on criminal and counterterrorism squads for the FBI according to his website, said on “Fox and Friends First.” “It is a blatant lie, and no way Joe Biden has not been briefed on this. In fact, if Joe Biden had not been briefed on this, considering one of the biggest things occurring right now that can affect this country in the near future, he is not a president. He is somebody sitting in a chair. So which one is it? Is he completely incompetent and someone else is doing his job, or are they lying to the American people?”

To prevent him from leaving the country. They have plans for Trump.

More than a dozen FBI whistleblowers have come forward to Republican investigators in Congress, according to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH).
The congressman, who is the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, told Fox News host Trey Gowdy the number has risen to 14 after the FBI raid at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation seized Trump records that fell under executive privilege and attorney-client privilege, according to an exclusive Fox News report that broke on late Saturday.
