[Townhall] The good news is that you might get out of future jury duty, because when you are asked under oath about your own biases during a federal criminal case jury selection you would have to answer honestly by responding, "Your Honor, I don't trust a damn thing anyone in the FBI says."

If the heirs of Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., were to go up on the stand and testify, the recent disgraceful revelations about how their bosses tried to frame LTG Mike Flynn mean you would be entirely correct to grant them the same credibility as the dude caught wearing a black cape, a Lone Ranger mask, and a nametag that says "Willie Sutton" while tip-toeing out of First National carrying a big sack with a dollar sign on it as the alarm goes off.

Oh, and if an FBI agent asks if he can ask you some questions, try not to burst into laughter before you reply, "No, I assert my right to remain silent" and call your lawyer.

And this sorry state of affairs is all the FBI's fault.

Franklin was, btw, a keen observer of all things French.
