| Tone-Deaf Pence: ‘Attacks on the FBI Must Stop' |
| 2022-08-21 |
| [PJMedia] Former Vice President Mike Pence confirmed on Wednesday that he has about as much chance of being the Republican nominee for president in 2024 as Nancy Pelosi has of joining the Radio City Rockettes. Demonstrating a tone-deafness of Olympian proportions, Pence had harsh words for the Republicans who are appalled at how the FBI has become a tool of the partisan vendetta of Old Joe Biden and Merrick Garland against Donald Trump. In Pence’s world, the stout-hearted G-Men are still of unquestionable integrity, square-jawed, patriotic, non-partisan, and ever-vigilant for truth, justice, and the American way. It hasn’t been that way for a long time if it ever was, but Mike hasn’t noticed. Pence, who has something of the mien of an upright, taciturn fed himself, said: “The Republican Party is the party of law and order. And these attacks on the FBI must stop; calls to defund the FBI are just as wrong as calls to defund the police.” According to ABC News, Pence added that while he was “deeply troubled” over the raid on Trump’s home, “the party can still hold Attorney General Merrick Garland accountable ‘without attacking the rank-and-file law enforcement personnel at the FBI.’” Well, sure. There are no doubt a few FBI agents left who are conscientious and patriotic and are trying to do a good job for the American people. If Americans were storming FBI offices in the hinterlands and brutalizing well-meaning agents who had nothing to do with the Russian collusion hoax or the attempt to brand angry parents at school board meetings as terrorists, Pence might have a point. But they aren’t, and he doesn’t. |

| #21 ^ Problem with this country is that people aren't as smart as they used to be or self sufficient. They are clueless as to "cause and effect" of actions of others in general. |

| #20 Major news network 'echo chamber'? I sat in a break room and watched everybody nodding to MSNBC (or CNN) like bobble-heads ...it was surreal. |

| #19 I may be wrong, but I recall that Pence was the first to scream that General Flynn was wrong to speak to Russian counterpart. Pence is dirty. |

| #18 I think there is an echo-chamber in Washington DC. At some point you hear Fox News is helplessly bias and you give up on it, and then only get the left viewpoint. You start to believe the strawmen versions of conservative opinions, and basically become worthless. The only defense is to actually have ideals that form and shape your opinions instead of basing them on whats popular or on other peoples arguments. |

| #16 If a rank and file feeb wants to maintain that status, whose orders will be carried out, no matter how inimical to the Constitution? |

| #15 It's NOT the FBI Rank and File I have a problem with. The one's whose reply "I was just obeying orders" when raiding houses of parents who complain to school boards? Those are not all around the 6 county area of DC. |

| #14 Au contraire mon frère! Attacks upon our intelligence services much increase. Because those attacks are attacks upon those whom actually rule us. |

| #13 It's NOT the FBI Rank and File I have a problem with. It's the Dark Political Ops strike teams that need to be outed, and charged accordingly. The problem is, the DC swamp is the one issuing them their marching orders. Therefore, the DC Swampers must protect them, or "handle" them in other ways. |

| #12 Thus croaks another swamp creature. They are too dim to realize that their song gives them away. |

| #9 He is a Barry Manilow album at a garage sale next to a Dollar General. No buyers. As Gene Simmons said, "What kid asks for a Pablo Cruise lunch box to take to school?" |

| #8 Yuge disappointment, his returning to his traitorous colleagues in the caves. |

| #7 Pence is the voice of unity that no one is looking for. He is a Barry Manilow album at a garage sale next to a Dollar General. No buyers. |

| #6 Imagine if every dime that is contributed to loser politicians like Liz Cheney and Mike Pence instead went to something constructive in the US, like paying down the National Debt. What we need is to require a bond equal to the amount donated to make the donation legal. If your candidate wins, you get your bond money back. If not, it goes to National Debt reduction. Make those PACs and bundlers pay up in a big way. |

| #4 He is living up to his name, and his opinion is worth about the same value: Pence Pence is the plural of penny when referring to a coin of that denomination. Before decimalization, 12 pence made a shilling, and 20 shillings made a pound. This complicated currency system operated on fractions and had a separate nomenclature for incremental units. |

| #2 Efrem Zimbalist Jr. outlived his portrayal of an incorruptible FBI... Pence is outliving his earlier image of a honorable politician... |

| #1 He hasn't figured out yet that the FBI, or at least the upper 4-5 layers, are decidedly not for law and order. Either that or he has and is lying. |
