The FBI has been involved in many, many scandals that show how corrupt and politicized they’ve become. They failed to do their jobs when they investigated Hillary Clinton’s private e-mail server, and they failed to do their jobs with the Trump-Russia collusion hoax. But more of their failures are just coming to light now.

Here’s the story from Just The News:

Cellular carriers have told Congress they possess intact phone usage data from the vicinity where two pipe bombs were planted during the Jan. 6 incident, directly disputing FBI testimony that agents couldn’t identify a suspect because the phone data was corrupted, a key House chairman tells Just the News.

The revelations from Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., the chairman of the House Administration oversight subcommittee, adds new intrigue to a debate that has gripped Washington for nearly four years: Why can’t the FBI with so much evidence and manpower identify the suspect who planted the explosive devices at the Democrat and Republican Party headquarters hours before the Capitol was breached.

Here’s what the FBI said:

“In June 2023, the former Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s Washington Field Office, Steve D’Antuono, who oversaw the pipe bomb investigation, said that the FBI received corrupted data from one of the cell carriers and that it most likely contained the identity of the pipe bomber. Given the significance of this information, my Subcommittee sent letters to the three major cell carriers, asking them to respond to Mr. D’Antuono’s claim of corrupted data,” he said.

And here’s what the non-partisan, private sector cell phone companies said:

“Every major cell carrier responded and confirmed that they did not provide the FBI corrupted data,” Loudermilk said.

“Additionally every major cell carrier confirmed they were never notified that the FBI had any issues accessing the data. This contradictory testimony raises some serious questions about the status of the investigation into the pipe bomber and about why the case remains unsolved nearly four years later,” he added.

Last year, D’Antuono told the House Judiciary Committee that the FBI did not a receive complete phone data from telephone carriers because some of it had been corrupted.

And this wasn’t the only problem with the FBI testimony:

Additionally, D’Antuono gave testimony that the pipe bombs were deemed inoperable, despite the Quantico laboratory coming to a different conclusion.

And here’s how the FBI responded to questions:

[…]The FBI declined to comment on the investigation.

Looks like two completely different stories, right? I believe the phone companies, and that means that the FBI is lying. Again.

Why do you think that the FBI would misrepresent what the cell phone companies did? Who are they trying to protect? The pipe bomber? Why would they want to protect the pipe bomber?

The FBI doesn’t do good work for taxpayers

Anyway, I thought it might be a good idea to remind everyone of what the FBI is really like.

Do you remember Peter Strozk?

An FBI agent who worked on the special counsel’s Russia probe texted another investigator in August 2016 that “We’ll stop” Donald Trump from getting elected president, according to Thursday’s watchdog report on the FBI’s investigation of Hillary Clinton’s private email server.

Do you remember James Comey?

For most of the past three years, the FBI has tried to portray its top leadership as united behind ex-Director James Comey’s decision not to pursue criminal charges against Hillary Clinton for transmitting classified information over her insecure, private email server.

Although in the end that may have been the case, we now are learning that Comey’s top lawyer, then-FBI General Counsel James Baker, initially believed Clinton deserved to face criminal charges, but was talked out of it “pretty late in the process.”

Do you remember Andrew McCabe?

It’s official: McCabe lied.

The new report from the Justice Department inspector general concludes that Andrew McCabe, the former FBI deputy director, lied to then-FBI Director James Comey, to other FBI agents, and to officials of the Office of the Inspector General. Some of those lies came when McCabe was under oath.

Do you remember Christopher Wray?

FBI Director Christopher Wray has some major explaining to do.

In recent Congressional testimony, he insisted that a January 2023 memo suggesting his agency’s resources be used against American citizens for the crime of — gasp! — being devout Catholics was a “single product by a single field office,” namely the Richmond field office.

That claim’s been given the lie by a newly surfaced version of the memo showing it to be the product of multiple offices, including Portland and Los Angeles.

That was conveniently redacted from the version of the memo he presented to the Senate Intelligence Committee in July.

If it were up to me, I would dismantle the FBI and delegate their responsibilities to other agencies who understand the meaning of fidelity, bravery, integrity. People who don’t use government as a weapon against enemies of the Democrat party. People who know how to provide their employers – the American taxpayers – with good, professional service.
