Do you remember how conservatives went out of their way to separate rank-and-file FBI agents from the corrupt actions of Jim Comey, Andrew McCabe, Bill Priestap, James Baker, James Rybicki, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page (snip) an exposé in Revolver News detailing the FBI's probable infiltration of the January 6 voting rights protest and political rally in D.C. and the likelihood that undercover agents instigated and actively participated in the events at the Capitol that day should put the matter to bed once and for all.

Time to clean out all the top level of the FBI. The once premier law enforcement office has rotted away to an agency that cannot be trusted to carry out even simple cases. Start at the top and go as deep as necessary. Somebody tell Hannity that 99,9 percent of the FBI may not be honest, hard working people.

#1. It's time to defund and abolish the FBI. It actually is an un-Constitutional arm of the federal government. Its duties, in my opinion, are not articulated in the Constitution. Therefore, what its stated functions are belong to the states.
It has been a source of corruption since its inception, despite the Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. image.

Time to cancel the FBI.
The to brass isn't going to the rallies to pretend to be someone and false flag them. It's rank and file obeying top brass orders. There is NO EXCUSE for a law enforcement person at ANY LEVEL, who swore to uphold the Constitution acting like this.
This is the Fall of Lucifer. The Angel who stood at God's right hand and tasked with overseeing the work of creation, couldn't be satisfied with guiding or praising others, he turned to temp them into sin to raise his own importance in the eyes of his fellows. It was down-hell, from there.

Back in my cop days I held the FBI in awe. I saw them as smart, brave, dedicated to justice and completely uncorruptable. What a difference four decades makes. Now they make me sick. I would rather cooperate with my local bank robber than those swine. At least the bank robber doesn't pretend to be anything but a bank robber.
And its not just the top anymore either. The rot goes all the way to the janitor. Pull the plug.

I shall refer to the FBI henceforth as America's Stasi; most certainly an earned moniker. I must agree with the two previous posters, they are completely corrupt and need to be abolished or recreated as a panel to coordinate between agencies like the Texas Rangers and Georgia Bureau of Investigation for interstate crimes. Just thinkin!

The FBI has been planting people in organizations like motorcycle clubs and the klan forever.
What is difficult to understand is why they don't have people in ANTIFA, and BLM.
If they do have people in ANTIFA or BLM they are not there to make arrests---obviously.

One of the prelates in the Catholic Church (either Pope Benedict XVI or Archbishop Vigano, and if neither, certainly both have inferred as much) suggested that much of the hierarchy in the church should be cleaned out like the Augean Stables in Greek Mythology. Those stables had not been cleaned of dung for 30 years. Same thing should happen in most, if not all, of our institutions.

Lavrentiy Beria and Stalin would be so proud of today's FBI. The only criticism they would have of the FBI is why they are not executing the citizens that they arrest and imprison. Abolish the FBI. And the ATF by the way.

Don't forget Sean Hannity. He was praising the FBI rank and file on a daily basis - not so much any more. This corrupt agency was turned during the Obama years and will have a tarnished reputation forever.

Every major institutions has been corrupted by the deep state, including our media, universities, and the Catholic church which is now run by "The Lavender Mafia," a gay cabal within the church. As our culture spiraled down the past several decades, the church has not lifted a finger and sat by like a disinterested spectator. Now we know why.
And the FBI, who was supposed to protect us and prevent and police all this corruption, may be the most corrupt of all. They sold out America to the Marxists for a hefty pension and a soft retirement. Sadly, these men are not like the American patriots who stormed the beaches at Normandy. These soldiers were willing to give their lives for our country. The FBI agents we have now are willing to sell out our country for their lives, their cushy lives.

Two posters above mentioned Hannity. I cannot stand to listen to him anymore. His one skill was collecting a panel of significant people to discuss an issue. But his show prep is pathetic. He has nothing to say that we have not heard a million times. He mostly gets on long rants, but when he does have a "guests" he talks over them. I don't care about his exercise regiment, or his work history as a 20 something, and I really don't care to hear his banter with his staff!!!
We all got spoiled to Rush and his incredible show prep that always produced a fresh and informative three hours. I miss Rush so much!

Everything we are seeing is a reminder of why handing power to people particularly on a long term basis always leads to corruption, and the brilliance of our founding. Lord Acton could not have been more correct.
Police are a necessary....I hesitate to say evil but you get my point. Handing anybody the power to stop and detain other people at their discretion, take into custody etc. even within strict guidelines gives a power that will be corrupted, its human nature, it will go to somebody's head. But the benefit outweighs the bad which we must remain vigilant to contain.
The answer is the same as it was in the 18th century and as it always has been, only surrender the amount of power to the collective as absolutely necessary to perform the most spartan scope of functions that cannot be accomplished without central coordination such as national defense.
Our friendly democrats see the effects of power abused and respond by promoting more power. The fools have been brainwashed into believing only the opposition party can't be trusted with power but their guys are just fine. It's the power structure, not specifically who is in or out.

To #5: the FBI has become the FBSI: the Federal Bureau of Stasi Investigation.
Shame on them, for selling their souls to the devil.
And shame on demoncraps and RINOs, for tolerating it.

as far as this story goes, I quote my favorite television program of all time: Monty Python's Flying Circus and only add to the discussion: "and now for something completely different".
there is no way the FBI persons who are/were responsible for this will ever be held accountable and they will continue to be featured on the alphabet networks and paid a lot of money to spout the ideology of separateness that is prevalent in our country today. they have no equal in the "traitor" category and should be arrested, adjudicated and punished but, it will never happen.

John Adams wrote, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” The actions of, it appears, a majority of individuals in our government proves this to be true. When we were a moral and God fearing people, we were at our best. However during the sixties we lost our way when it became cool to deny the existence of God.
In 1947, Joseph McCarthy was on the right track when he tried to prove the infiltration of communists into the government and various aspects of our lives. Once again, Hollywood did its best to appeal to the public as innocent victims of government persecution. The committee was eventually shut down and two things happened. The left learned how powerful using the victim card can be to influence public opinion. It also learned how easily a story or narrative can be created to sway public opinion and they set about to be mold the thinking of the public with the entertainment industry. They knew they had great power and were prepared to now use it and their philosophy seeped into every aspect of our lives. While a vast majority of Americans went on with their lives believing in God, the good of the country, and each other, a cancer had been created specifically to destroy us, slowly but the end result was the same: destruction of everything that had made us the envy of the world.
Look at us now. We are fighting for our way of life and the deck is stacked against us. Our premiere law enforcement agency is corrupt. The Department of Justice is a worthless agency used to finish what the FBI starts. Illegal prosecution of its political enemies is a particular skill they have honed. They also exceed in ignoring heinous crimes committed by their political allies. Democrats are now attempting to turn the military against its own people. What we have called election fraud is more accurately described as a bloodless coup d’etat.
This once great nation is on the cusp of destruction because good men and women looked the other way when exposed to wrong doing. When a majority of Americans jettisoned their moral compass to champion secular humanism our decline began. Will we witness the fall of this great country to totalitarian zealots who reject God and our founding principles? I certainly hope that is not the case, but to claw our way up from this pit of Godless immorality is going to take supernatural strength the likes of which we had back in the day. We must turn back to the God. We need His help. “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against a spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12 whether you want to believe it or not, this is the battle we face. Good versus evil. Right versus wrong.

J.B., your expression of disgust regarding the fbi's role in the January 6th breach really applies to the entire federal government and, in particular, Nanie, the dim party and its paramilitary thugs, antifa/blm, for having staged the incident.

It was corrupt when Jedgar Hoover ran the joint it's always been a jack booted democrat arm forever. All the leftist players are exposed and not hiding their agenda. At this point calling in the FBI is just a show like something is being achieved when their only job is crushing Republicans and supporters. How many other crimes have they committed that we don't know about?
The FBI's only job is investigating garage ropes at a car race track to pin it on whites and false flagging Trump supporters in public they are useless and the organization needs to be dissolved like the Stasi of Germany was. End the FBI build a federal organization without that name have transparency and accountability the FBI is too strong and political nuke them.

The FBI, the Defense Dept, the NSA, Homeland Security, ATF, IRS, OEO, EPA, Dept of Labor, and every other Federal agency have been weaponized to come after us. We are the white supremacists. We voted for Trump, and we are the target. A very well written article, and special hats off for recognizing that Nixon was the first FBI coup of a President. We have the 1960 election stolen, a coup of Nixon, HW Bush taken out by entering Ross Perot as a faux conservative (Perot made his fortune off medicare contracts directed his way by LBJ), and now the coup against Trump with a stolen election. And we have Republicans like Ronna McDaniel that cannot imagine the evil of the Democrat Party, and Mitch McConnell who thinks the Senate is a revered institution, neither of whom recognize, or lift a finger against the crimes committed by the Democrats.

Does anyone else remember all of the reports in 2016 about the hundreds of FBI agents who were outraged by Shrillary’s email server and the pass given to her by Comey? They were going to out both Comey and Shrillary and release all of the information about that scandal. Did anyone ever hear a single peep out of a single agent? Me neither.

President Trump failed to do what was needed. Instead of career wealthy bureaucrats Sessions and Barr he should have appointed Guiliani. And in the first weeks replace 93 district federal prosecutors as Clinton instructed Reno to do. Then replace the Director and 1,500 top management agents of the Fraudulent Bureau of Intimidation with experienced lae enforcement U.S. Marshals. Within months hundreds of federal crimes would have been investigated and charged without sexism, ethnicity, economic status or politically partisan biased.

Bureaucracies exist to increase their size and power. Law enforcement bureaucracies eventually get very dangerous as they begin to protect themselves while hiding behind 'The law' and friendly courts.
I don't believe it's possible that rank and file agents were ignorant of the the conniving going on. It drove me nuts when I heard opinion masters telling me that 'most agents are loyal, honest and hard working'.

The FBI has been corrupt and infected with Soros money for decades. When Obama became CIC their unlawful and covert activities hit a new high. After he left office, we had general Comey and his lieutenants prepared to block President Trump. I'm sure Obama was calling the shots from his DC bunker. The rest is history. Let's face it, Trump had no idea of the vast corruption that awaited him in the White House. He does now and so do we. When he returns to the White House he will bring in Terminex to deep clean the swamp like Clinton did and by that time no body will think twice of resisting him.
The media is becoming neutered by their own fake and feckless reporting for colluding to lie, cheat and steal with impunity. As we watch in living color the heinous crimes of the Left being played out. What was once hidden is now in our face daily. The media can't hide. The Left crossed the line with Critical Race Theory, especially trying to indoctrinate children with it in school. Grass root leaders are taking a stand and coming forth. The Dems have become weak and feeble with Biden and Pelosi and the ugly loud mouth Squad. We are taking back our country with a vengeance never before seen. The old Democrats may become Republicans and what's left of the Socialist Marxists should all be convicted and sent to prison.
Facts are coming out. They are not talking points and false accusations that the media likes to present. We have hard facts and proof.
Hang in there folks. We are going to win this war and MAGA.

Liked that the article names names so we do not forget. It is amazing the FBI carried out this conspiracy during the Trump Presidency. Their dry run was the kidnapping plot of Gov. Witch Whitmer. FBI agents organized 1/6 together with Antifa in the black uniforms. This riot now serves as a excuse for General Idi Amin and his Commisars to purge 75 million Trump voters from the military because Critical Race Theory.

I beg to strongly differ with Mr. Shurk.
J. Edgar Hoover used the dirt that he had on politicians - - to keep them honest and acting patriotically. He did not use it for his own benefit or for the benefit of any political faction. He was a totally honorable man - - and a true patriot.
And when he was the director - - it was true that 99.99999% of all FBI agents were honest and patriotic - - not the joke that we're making of that number today.

Couple of things… google “tear up texas” and read the Salon article. Second, try to find the video from inside the capitol where the people are facing a line of cops and two “protesters” come from behind the cops, join the group and start firing up the crowd. Every knew the day this happened it was a setup.

#12 - Coincidentally, I watched a video today, June 17, at Church Militant site, and it is a very honest interview with nine Catholic priests who have been "sidelined" because they're men who only want to be true Servants of Christ and are prevented from doing so by some of the gay hierarchy who are not being true Shepherds of the people. Once we would never think of such things happening in the church. I think, though, like so many other institutions, the corrupt in our hierarchy are just going to collapse of their own weight because too many people are walking away.
