For those of you old enough to remember, one of ABC’s most popular television series of all time was The FBI, starring Efram Zimbalist, Jr., which showed 241 episodes from 1965 to 1974. Then-FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover served as a consultant to the series until his death in 1972. Hoover’s second-in-command Clyde Tolson vetted every draft episode of the series, and even vetted the actors playing FBI agents and other characters so that “no Communists, subversives or criminals” were associated with the show.Millions of Americans sat riveted as Inspector Louis Erskine (Zimbalist) and his fellow FBI agents tracked down America’s most dangerous criminals and fugitives. At each episode’s end,

The FBI started descending into hell well before 2016 or 2017...(1996) Mueller as director harassed a poor man, Richard Jewell, in Atlanta for 5 years as the Olympic bomber, before he was proven innocent and (2001) ruined 5 years of Dr. Steven Hatfil's life who he fraudulently claimed was behind the anthrax terror, before he was proven innocent. The worst thing other than the cabal against America and Donald Trump, (1980) was his framing and incarceration of 4 innocent men in Boston for 35 years to protect Whitey Bulger the head of the Irish Mafia in Boston.
There is no dirty trick nor slanderous lie the FBI won't incorporate in order to enrich themselves or further a political movement.
Damn their evil souls!

There is not a single agency of the Federal Government that can be trusted anymore. If interviewed by them give ‘em your name, rank serial number and date of birth.....nothing more.

I spent my entire career as an A.D.A. in a large city. I am well aware of the power of that office and the importance of fair and just administration of the law.
Fortunately for the citizens of that county the LEO's I worked with were dedicated to their jobs and justice. As were the Judges. However, if any one of the people in the chain becomes corrupted, it can become a very dangerous weapon against the citizens. Sadly, that's where we are now with the FBI an DOJ, and that is TERRIFYING!

FTA...'police are there not only to protect citizens from the criminals, but to protect criminals from the citizens.'
And in the new America when a citizen kills a marauder threatening their home and family the citizen will be on trial for murder.

I recall the night The FBI profiled mass murderer Angela Davis in the Most Wanted segment. As you know, Davis was acquitted. This case signaled the unraveling of the Justice System, I think.

The Author opines that the void in law enforcement will be filled with vigilantism. That's probably intended. That provides the pretext for law enforcement to arrest you. Self defense is an affirmative defense, not immunity. And after you've been tarred and feathered in the media, it's worthless.

This sorry situation is enabled by the lamestream media, the propaganda arm of the Rats, who hide the leftist corruption of every agency of the Federal government.

Vigilantism has already reared its head. Kenosha offers one example with Kyle Rittenhouse. Albuquerque offers another with Steven Ray Baca. Business owners regularly post armed guards, often the proprietors, when "unrest" breaks out.

Back the Badge! There were many who backed the KGB and Stasi, too. Our government was founded on the mistrust of government and its constant drift towards tyranny...what's changed?

American Gestapo. They couldn't find a terrorist if he showed up at HQ with an explosive belt and declared himself. Disband it.

I have had four friends who worked at the FBI, none currently working there, all dead or retired. Back then, I had a lot of respect for the organization, and my friends tell me that the laws were respected scrupulously in their fighting against organized crime, which was pretty big in the KC area many years ago.
Today, sorry but the truth is......FBI = KGB. It's just that simple. When they stopped putting law enforcement officer in as FBI head, and started putting in prosecutors, they screwed it up, and began the politicization of it. Mueller was the first of a really rotten lot, and it has gone downhill from him. This is from insiders who used to work there.

We hear about the many fine people that work in the federal law enforcement and intelligence services.
Yet, none (or very few) speak out, or are true "whistleblowers" about the abuses at the DOJ, FBI, CIA, NSA, and the FISA courts.
There's two explanations. One, they all want to protect their pensions. Two, they're part of the scam. Both scare the h-e-double-hockey-sticks out of me.
