What the hell happened to ‘our’ FBI?
/What the hell happened to ‘our’ FBI?
By: Lt. Patrick J. Ciser (Ret.)
Over the last three decades, I remember several of my department’s lieutenants going to the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. Not only were these men honored to go, but it looked great on their resume for future options and promotions. To attend, arguably, the academy of the top law enforcement agency in the world, was definitely a highlight in their careers. So how did the FBI come off its rails and get so politicized, weaponized even, to do the bidding of “the far left?”
I think that we all noticed how blatant the problem became during the 2016 presidential campaign cycle. The Clintons were always embroiled in one scandal or another, so it was no surprise to many of us that Hillary, the former secretary of state, was accused of destroying some 33,000 emails and having a government server with classified information in an offsite private storage room/closet. Scandals within the Obama administration were pilling on, including, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, the IRS scandal targeting conservatives, the TEA Party and more. Any investigator with half a brain could tell you that she was destroying incriminating evidence with the use of “bleach bit” and a hammer. But alas, we all witnessed on national TV the cover-up by FBI director James Comey. Comey, Andrew McCabe, and Peter Strzok, (all eventually fired BTW) colluded and changed the wording of the law that Hillary violated, to make it plausible to infer that she didn’t actually commit a crime or, according to Comey, that no prosecutor would bring a case against her. Juxtapose this with the FBI’s unprecedented raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence over the summer of 2022.
Because we have witnessed so many atrocious acts committed by the FBI brass since 2016, I’ll try to stick with abbreviated versions for this relatively short article. There is a bright side, however, as many honest, mostly conservative, FBI whistleblowers are now coming forward to speak to our majority House Republicans about the high-level corruption. It always struck me as odd that while a very high percentage of law enforcement agencies across the country supported former President Donald Trump, the FBI would fight him tooth and nail, and even lie about him to keep him out of office. Trump is by far, the most pro-law enforcement president I’ve ever witnessed. Democrat politicians across the country actually seem pro-criminal, with their no-bail policies and light sentences for offenders. These ill-advised policies only get more police officers killed!
Former FBI Director Robert Mueller knew early on in his investigation that Trump never colluded with Russia, yet went along with the charade. Why? We know this today from the Michael Horowitz report, AG William Barr statements and the Durham investigation. Not only did the FBI lie to the FISA court when applying for the warrants against the Trump campaign, but top agents purposely left out all exculpatory evidence showing that Trump, Flynn, Carter Page, et.al. weren’t guilty of anything. FBI agent Peter Strzok seemed to act with the most malice toward then-candidate Trump, ensuring his girlfriend Lisa Page that Trump would never be elected and there was an “insurance policy” to ensure just that. He was apparently talking about the disgraceful and totally unverified “Steele Dossier.” Today, we know that the FBI told Christopher Steele, an unreliable informant, that it would pay him one million dollars if he could verify its contents; which he never could. And we all know that there is so much more to this sinister story. The lies that came out of the Russian Hoax were repeated for years during Trump’s presidency. Even former CIA Director Brennan told CNN that Trump was probably an “agent” of the Russian government without a shred of proof. All of this vicious slander certainly led to Trump’s demise.
For years, the FBI would go after associates of Donald Trump. Who can forget the embarrassing raid on Roger Stone’s home in the pre-dawn hours? I actually felt bad for the FBI SWAT team that was ordered to treat a 65-year-old accused of a white-collar crime like a notorious armed drug dealer. They even called CNN to tell them about this dog and pony show beforehand. Those highly trained agents must have been mortified. The Justice Department could’ve told Stone’s lawyer to have him turn himself in at the Federal Building, as was normal protocol for anyone else under the same circumstances.
Thanks to Elon Musk, and his purchase of Twitter, we’re finding out more about the FBI’s machinations. They actually paid Twitter, and probably Facebook, to suppress free speech about Hunter Biden, and so much more. I mean; who are these people? Leading up to the 2020 presidential election, Twitter was paid to squash any information about Hunter Biden and his laptop. I’m so glad that Hunter, the smartest man that President Biden knows, according to him, is bringing to light the corruption of the Biden family, due to his incompetence. The New York Post story about the laptop was again said to be a product of Russia, and their disinformation campaign. 50 former agents and even CIA personnel signed a letter for Joe Biden and the DNC confirming same only weeks before Election Day, and the liberal media ran with it. Polls show that if the Biden laptop story wasn’t suppressed by the FBI, Donald Trump would’ve won a second term.
So here we are today in 2023 with Republicans in charge of all investigations in the House, and we need answers! How did a “crack addict” like Hunter Biden make millions from Ukraine and China in businesses he knew nothing about? And how crazy is it that Donald Trump got impeached for trying to get to the bottom of this? How and why did Hunter get a seat so often on Air Force Two to China and Eastern Europe when his father was vice-president? Who’s the “Big Guy” who always got a 10% cut on multimillion-dollar deals? Is the FBI going to finally bring charges against Hunter for lying on a gun permit in addition to related crimes? Could you image if Hunter was Don Jr. or Eric Trump? Incredible! So why after receiving the incriminating laptop over two years ago, is the FBI still trying to cover it up? Will we ever get the truth about what really happened on January 6th? Why would the FBI target conservative parents at school board meetings? For that and more… stay tuned!
