A former top FBI official on Thursday proposed that a “bipartisan commission” be created to vet presidential candidates so people like President Trump can never be elected again.
“We got this wrong, and this can’t happen again,” said Frank Figliuzzi, who was briefly the assistant director of the FBI under President Obama.
During a discussion on MSNBC about Trump’s taxes Thursday morning, Figliuzzi opined that the president’s supposedly dire financial situation made him “vulnerable” to certain entities like {{{Russia}}}. (Snip) He suggested that the media in 2016 didn’t dig “deeply enough” to find dirt on Trump, and added “it’s time to have a discussion about a bipartisan committee that demands tax

Appointed to his last job at the FBI in February 2011, by Mueller, Fugliuzzi was gone by July 2012. No explanation.

The very last group I would listen to on anything these days is the FBI. Possibly, some day, the FBI might not be a criminal conspiracy with badges, but in the last four years, that is what they were. And under Wray, nothing has changed.

From a Washington Examiner article on Fugliuzzi’s having written a wackobird piece for Vanity Fair on Trump and the pandemic:
This is not about Birx and Fauci. With crazed conspiracy theorists like Figliuzzi, it is always about Trump. His op-ed is just a 500-word excuse to write about how much he dislikes the president. He doesn't and never did care about the pandemic that has infected 156,000-plus Americans and killed 2,880.
Trump’s presidency has utterly broken people like Figliuzzi and the MSNBC hosts who continue to platform his lunacy. They have become the very thing they claim to “resist.” They cannot let their partisan demagoguery go for even a moment, not even amid the current pandemic. It's pretty sad, really.

So Fugliuzzi is a known nutter...

He can't be serious. The left desperately wants to take out the American people as deciders of their destiny. "Shut up, ordinary citizens, and let us crooked bureaucrats force feed you what we think is best." Kid me!

Another of Fugliucci’s screwball attempts to get the President:
“So what happens is the extremists interpret what the president read off a script today as something he needed to say, something he didn’t really want to say.” Figliuzzi then goes on to give us one of the wackiest conspiracy theories I have ever encountered: “It’s the little things and language and messaging that matters. The president said that we will fly our flags at half-mast until Aug. 8, that’s 8/8. Now I’m not going to say that he did this deliberately, but I am using it as an ignorance of the adversary that’s being demonstrated by the White House,” Figliuzzi said.
Now, dear readers, here it comes, from a formerly very high-ranking official in the command structure of the FBI: “The numbers 88 are very significant in neo-Nazi and white supremacy movement. Why? Because the letter ‘H’ is the eighth letter of the alphabet, and to them the numbers 88 together stand for ‘Heil Hitler.’ So we’re going to be raising the flag back up at dusk on 8/8.”

I can think of a few Presidents who would not have been President if they had been vetted. Let's see: How about JFK, and LBJ, and Bill Clinton, and of course, Barrack Obama! In fact, we still don't know as much about Obama as we do about any of our past Presidents. I am reading a book about Harry Truman's life by David McCullough. He even found information about his childhood and his days in the Army. We can't even find out much about Obama's early life or how he ended up with two Social Security cards or who knew him in college or who was in the adjunct clesses he "taught" in law school. He should have been vetted and maybe we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now!

Yes and put Comey and Strozk in charge of it. Should work out fine. But here’s some news. Donald Trump Jr. will be the next President after his dads second term is over. He will serve two terms as well. So if you are sick to your stomach right now then the next twelve years of your life will be absolutely miserable. Enjoy.

'Bipartisan' is code speak for Left Wing. This is akin to the Communist Politbureau which approves candidates that you can vote on. At least these vermin are out of the woodwork now.

We the People, will pick the President of the United States.
I think what he's tipping, is this is how Biden ended up running the table to get the Dem delegates, and push Bernie aside. It was determined by a committee.
Amazingly, Democrats seem most willing to allow this type of activity.

Yet he has no problem with unvented Obama with such a questionable, mysterious and controversial past becoming president twice.

I believe Trump fulfills all the Constitutional requirements to be President. I can not say that for Obama.
To the left "bipartisan" means a majority of Commies and maybe 1 RINO.

The FBI thought that was already their job. There is no such thing as ‘bi-partisan’. What he is saying is that voters should no longer be able to choose their own candidates. That will be left up to the swamp dwellers. I can’t think of anything more appalling.

IOW, "only 'professional politicians' need apply." Wouldn't our Founding Fathers be spinning in their graves?
It's usually been the singular best event to happen in America when we can send a non-pro-pols to the White House, whether it was Gen. Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan, we've always ended up better off as a nation. Woodrow Wilson being one big disappointment.

I think everyone has discovered that none of these commisions are bipartisan, nothing but camouflage for left wing tyranny. It is also a rather bad time for anyone connected to the FBI to be raising their heads, as all the leadership should be in jail, and many of the rank and file as well.

So we have the Deep State choosing the candidates to keep the Deep State the Deep State. The boldness of this transparency is mind boggling, as if the Deep Staters think we are not paying attention. No way in any of Dantes 9 circles of hell can this Deep State Commission ever see the light of day. No way.

Headline: "Former FBI Official Proposes ‘Bipartisan Commission’ to Vet Presidential Candidates Like Trump"
FTA: "Figliuzzi, now a national security contributor for NBC News"
PROPOSES? I think not. He hadn't the authority to propose any change in government when he was temporary assistant director. And he has even less authority to propose, now that he's a member of the news media.
But considering how often the news media presume to have authority over everything in our country / society, it's hardly a surprise to see his wild (and wildly partisan) idea being depicted as a proposition.

It's 2020, and Barack Obama still hasn't been vetted. Nancy Pelosi told us in 2008 that she would personally look into whether or not he was eligible to be president. And we're still waiting. Never forget that Hawaii and Alaska were passing out Certificates or Live Birth to foreign tourists well into the 1960s for the purpose of increasing their populations.

The American voters do their own vetting, thank you very much. We see what happens when people other than the voters vet the president like House Democrats knowingly pursuing a fraudulent impeachment. Guess who will control the selection of the those bipartisan commissioners?

I have believed for years that the CIA or FBI has "chosen" our presidents for years. The CIA has paid the MSM to disseminate lies for years, and they have spooks in congress and the media, Anderson Cooper being one. They are just upset that they were not successful in 2016.

Stupid and ridiculous. If we ever had corrupt Presidents, the absolute worst were Harding, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lyndon B. Johnson, and William J. Clinton. Barack Obama was also corrupt in that he abused his power constantly -- the others were more involved in self-enrichnent as well as other scandals. President Trump is no boy scout m, but he is NOTHING like the devil they portray him to be. He is also NOT incompetent nor unfit nor any of the other negative and nefarious things they call him. He has been consistently falsely maligned from EVERY direction, and the reason they are doing it is because he is NOT beholden to any foreign country or anyone else, as most of our government representatives are now. This prrsidency has been subjected to a giant CONCERTED attack from day one. That said, it is NOT the job of the FBI or any agency to "vet" a presidential candidate, especially now that our bureaucracies have become completely political. This is OUR job to decide--not theirs.
