It’s the end of the year, and I thought it would be a good time to review five FBI scandals. Then you can decide for yourself whether you think that the FBI is doing a good job of enforcing the law. And remember, you’re paying their salaries with your tax dollars, so you have to decide whether you are getting good value for your money. Let’s take a look at some of the scandals.

Here is an article about the scandals from Fox News.

Attack Republicans:

Former counterintelligence FBI special agent Charles McGonigal — who led New York’s counterintelligence division and played a critical role in the alleged Trump-Russia collusion investigation — was earlier this month sentenced to four years in prison for charges related to colluding with a Russian oligarch.

[…]In May, Special Counsel John Durham released a long-awaited final report to the Justice Department, which spans more than 300 pages of his years-long investigation into the origins of “Crossfire Hurricane.” Durham found that both the DOJ and FBI “failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law” when it launched the Trump-Russia investigation.

Durham said his investigation also revealed that “senior FBI personnel displayed a serious lack of analytical rigor towards the information that they received, especially information received from politically-affiliated persons and entities.”

Protect Democrats:

While Trump and members of his inner circle remain at the center of several investigations, the bureau faced backlash for declining requests from House Republicans to release an unclassified FBI document that contained claims from an informant that President Biden was allegedly involved in foreign business dealings with his family.

But after the bureau balked for months to turn over the document to lawmakers, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, obtained the internal material — known as an FD-1023 — and released it to the public. The document accused the FBI of improperly delaying or completely shutting down a full investigation into the Biden family.

Pre-dawn raiding the homes of peaceful pro-lifers:

When the FBI wasn’t focused on — or allegedly turning a blind eye to — the White House, the bureau was slapped with a $1.1 million lawsuit in November brought by Catholic father and pro-life activist Mark Houck, who was arrested in his home in 2022 by FBI agents over a previous altercation outside a Planned Parenthood. A 12-person jury later unanimously acquitted Houck on all charges of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act.

Houck filed a lawsuit against the Justice Department seeking restitution for what it called “a faulty investigation” and “excessive force” after a SWAT team of around 25 people arrested him in front of his children. The lawsuit alleges government agents deprived Houck of his Fourth Amendment rights by using excessive force to arrest him on non-violent charges.

Persecute taxpayers for their religious views:

Perhaps the bureau’s most shocking moment in 2023 came in February when former FBI agent Seraphin exposed an unclassified intelligence document from the FBI’s Richmond field office in Virginia that appeared to target traditional Catholics as so-called potential domestic terrorists, which immediately forced the bureau’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., to purge the anti-Catholic memo from its system.

After the bureau said it would “never conduct investigative activities or open an investigation based solely on First Amendment protected activity,” lawmakers in the House Judiciary Committee and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government launched an investigation into the FBI and discovered that the bureau interviewed a priest and a choir director affiliated with a Catholic church in Richmond, Virginia.

You have to decide for yourself whether the FBI uses it’s power to break laws for the benefit of the Democrat party. You have to decide for yourself whether they’ve abandoned their duty to protect the Americans who pay their salaries. You have to decide for yourself whether the FBI persecutes American taxpayers solely on the basis of their first amendment activities. You have to decide whether the FBI is in violation of the Constitution – or maybe even at war with the Constitution. Vote accordingly in 2024.
