Former Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday came out against calls within the GOP to defund the FBI following the raid of former President Donald Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago. Mr. Pence also left the door open to testifying before the House Jan. 6 committee, saying he “would have to reflect on that.”(Snip)Mr. Pence made it clear where he stood in the debate. “Calls to defund the FBI are just as wrong as calls to defund the police,” Mr. Pence said in response to a question at a “Politics and Eggs” breakfast at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at St. Anselm College, according to CBS.

Gotta give Pence the benefit of the doubt. After all he was standing right next to Pelosi when she stretched out her arms and tore up President Trump's State of the Union speech and never saw a thing. Whata guy.

Pence is stupid, naive or corrupt, take your choice. If he can't see the corruption in the FBI and its totally disparate application of law between the parties, then he is all three. The cops are doing their job and the Left doesn't want them to so they call for their defunding. The FBI is corrupt to the core and is using its power for political ends. There is no comparison. Pence is going down in the view of real conservatives faster than Bush did.

The FBI seems wholly unaccountable to the public. Even Congress has to step aside when Wray needs to leave to fly private to his vacation destination.
As i recall there are citizen review boards with police oversight powers.
I don’t propose abolishing the FBI but by God it’s a rogue organization free of oversight by the citizens or their representatives.

Thinks he’s relevant. He’s not. He & Liz Cheney are in the same sinking narcissistic boat. Best thing for him to do is go away. (He won’t)

Of course he thinks that way. He is the living example of aDeep State Rino with severe Trump Derangement Syndrome. What do you expect from an alcoholic with anger and resentments and a total sense of entitlement and importance. He is a loser. Alwats has been always will be. A man of no courage and bravery. A true weak coward.

How this RINO ever became vice president is a mystery. The FBI should be defunded if not dissovled because it has become a rogue agency and an extension of the Democrat party not unlike Hitler's Geheim Staats Polizei or the Soviet KGB. They were under orders from the Nazis and the CCCP, Soviet communist party. The FBI is now loyal to the Democrat party.

On the wrong side of this issue, too. He's Deep State, and apparently always has been, but has been an undercover agent, and how his cover is blown.

Let me explain this for you Mikey. The defend the police movement was about destroying local control of law enforcement for the purpose of ushering in a federal take over. The FBI is such an entity hence the F in FBI. So you see, it is a consistent anti big bloated corrupt government position to be both against the defund the police and for dismantling the FBI. I hope that helps.

I don't want to defund the FBI. I want to elminate them. All the agents who aren't corrupt can get jobs with local law enforcement around the country which is where the crime problem is. The FBI hasn't done anything useful since they got Pretty Boy Floyd. All they are now is the enforement agency for the demoncraps.

You probably don't have to defund the whole FBI - just the Washington D.C. office and HQ.

How did Trump pick him for VP?

At least the mask has been ripped off his churchian face now. He is not for America first. Not now, not ever. What a clueless moron this swamp spawn has turned out to be. But I guess he needs to earn that mansion he was given in payment for ignoring all those states who wanted to audit their voter rolls. Go away Mikey, and take your evil with you.

I believe #18 same way Reagan was persuaded he really needed former spook and NE patrician Geo HW Bush for his VP. Pence and wife are very longtime swamp dwellers and many Indiana conservatives did warn about him. They had him as Governor and learned the truth about Mike’s so-called solid Christian conservative persona.
There is nothing naive about Pence. He is corrupt and completely untrustworthy. He cares as much for The Constitution as his good pal Liz Cheney does.

Washington Times, far right but not far left, described instead as Democrats? Please review your editorial bias, and correct it.

If it was honest I would be in favor of the FBI, but in it's present stage where it is used against the Republican party it should be unfunded.

Every banana republic needs a secret police force. And in our case, it's been redoubled by a new branch of armed and politicized "revenue" agents who are free to seize assets as they please. What reasonable American would question such things?
