Red StateWith the release of the Inspector General report on the Trump-Russia investigation, an amazing thing happened.
Prior to the release, the self-described smartest among us assured the country for the last three years that the FBI are the best and brightest available. In fact, you were never allowed to question their ability and integrity. To do so was to question the very core of our being as a nation or something.
But when the avalanche of "mistakes" laid out in the IG report became known, things suddenly changed. Now, the clear bias and extensive misconduct was just the work of incompetence that just so happened to always only go in one direction. The FBI and those who lauded them now want you to believe they are just morons.
...The FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane team turned over every rock to find out whether members of the Trump campaign were working with Russians in 2016, but failed to discover that Christopher Steele, the FBI’s primary source for claims of a Trump-Russia conspiracy, was himself working for a Russian oligarch, according to the Justice Department inspector general’s report.
...Further, the FBI knew that Carter Page wasn’t a Russian agent, yet they targeted him anyway. This wasn’t a case of morons going wild. It was a case of blatant abuse of power in order to try to provide an insurance policy in case Donald Trump got elected. They did so knowing there would be no consequences and so far they’ve been correct.
...These people aren’t stupid, they are malicious and entitled. They may want to play dumb now that it’s convenient, but the political targeting of Trump and the lengths to which they were willing to go to do so, are crystal clear. Enough with the clown nose on, clown nose off routine.
