We would like to start out with own own take. We have covered FBI corruption over the last 15 years rather extensively. Most people, unless they have done a great amount of reading original sources, have the slightest idea how how corrupt and far gone the FBI/DoJ have fallen.
It has gotten to the point where the DoJ Inspector General, Michael E. Horowitz, has released so many reports on FBI violations and DoJ prosecutorial misconduct that in several of his published reports he says that they do more wrong than right when following the law and process.
This includes manufacturing evidence to set people up, entrapment, manipulation of evidence, concealing evidence from the defense and the court, openly lying to the courts and more. There are even guilty pleas on record from FBI lawyers for doing just that.
Keep in mind that former presidents have security clearances. They are often asked to comment and review on items by current administrations. Also, keep in mind that nothing gets to a president’s desk that has not already been copied many times over so it is not like he could have had anything exclusive.
This next fact is quite amazing. the judge the FBI went to, Bruce E. Reinhart, was a prosecutor against Jeffery Epstein, who it seems suddenly came into some money to start a criminal defense law firm and within days his first client was the infamous Jeffery Epstein.
Famed Clinton political strategist Dick Morris made it clear, Republicans play by the rules, Democrats don’t.

They're saying they raided Trump's home because he had classified documents. This already makes little sense because Trump, as president, had the power to declassify literally anything he wanted, whenever he wanted.
K. Patel: “The White House counsel failed to generate the paperwork to change the classification markings, but that doesn’t mean the information wasn’t declassified.”
Documents at Mar-a-Lago Marked ‘Classified’ Were Already Declassified https://t.co/vVYs9Rj3tj
2/ * Ignores drug crimes at border * Allows drug cartels to operate freely in the US … I could go on. Our FBI has become a total disgrace, and Merrick Garland is so deeply lacking in judgment that he is unfit to serve as AG. Americans deserve better that this shameful crew.
Wray already admitted that the FBI fraudulently obtained multiple warrants to illegally spy on Trump as as a candidate and during presidency. If yet another FBI warrant to raid Trump’s home doesn’t stand up to scrutiny, Wray may be the last FBI Director https://t.co/Xv4hRDmiFs
"Yeah, the FBI lied about Russian collusion, falsified FISA warrants, and staged a kidnapping plot against Gretchen Whitmer that was leaked right before an election, but we really need to wait for the FBI to give us the facts."
The raid of MAL is another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the Regime’s political opponents, while people like Hunter Biden get treated with kid gloves. Now the Regime is getting another 87k IRS agents to wield against its adversaries? Banana Republic.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Countless times we have examples of Democrats flouting the law and abusing power with no recourse, including Hunter Biden. Democrats continually weaponize the bureaucracy against Republicans. This raid is outrageous.
Just a reminder that the FBI that had no trouble raiding Trump’s home today is the same FBI that couldn’t be bothered to stop Larry Nassar from sexually abusing Olympic gymnasts.
Outrageous abuse by DOJ/FBI searching Mar-a-Lago. They are supposed to issue a subpoena and work out getting documents via lawyers. But that's what they do to Trump supporters. MSM remains mum. We must double down and vote these people out. #America1st.
Veteran former CBS lead investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson who now hosts her own Sunday show “Full Measure” has posted a timeline of FBI/DoJ surveillance abuses going back to 2009.
We are posting a small sample of it here, please go to Sharyl’s web site to see the rest:
President Obama takes office; pledges unprecedented transparency.
April 2009:
Someone leaks the unmasked name of Congresswoman Jane Harman to the press. According to news reports, the Bush administration NSA incidentally recorded and saved Harman’s phone conversations with pro-Israel lobbyists who were under investigation for espionage. The story is first broken by Congressional Quarterly’s Jeff Stein.
December 17, 2009:
The Obama administration prosecutes FBI contractor Shamai Leibowitz for leaking documents to the media in April 2009. Leibowitz says he leaked because he felt FBI practices were “an abuse of power and a violation of the law” which he reported to his superiors at the FBI “who did nothing about them.” (According to the ACLU: “Amazingly, the sentencing judge said, ‘I don’t know what was divulged other than some documents, and how it compromised things, I have no idea’.”)
The IRS secretly begins “targeting” conservative groups that are seeking nonprofit tax-exempt status, by singling out ones that have “Tea Party” or “Patriot” in their names.
Army intelligence analyst Bradley Manning begins illegally leaks classified information to WikiLeaks revealing, among other matters, that the U.S. is extensively spying on the United Nations.
Obama Attorney General Eric Holder renews a Bush-era subpoena of New York Times reporter James Risen in a leak investigation.
Obama administration pursues espionage charges against NSA whistleblower Thomas Drake. (According to the ACLU: spy charges were later dropped and Drake pled guilty to a misdemeanor. The judge called the government’s conduct in the case “unconscionable.”)
May 28, 2010:
The government secretly applies for a warrant to obtain Google email information of Fox News reporter James Rosen in a leak investigation, without telling Rosen.
September 21, 2010:
Internal email entitled “Obama Leak Investigations” at “global intelligence” company Stratfor claims Obama’s then-Homeland Security adviser John Brennan is targeting journalists.
“Brennan is behind the witch hunts of investigative journalists learning information from inside the beltway sources,” writes one Stratfor official to another.
The email continues: “Note — There is specific tasker from the [White House] to go after anyone printing materials negative to the Obama agenda (oh my.) Even the FBI is shocked. The Wonder Boys must be in meltdown mode…”
“The Wonder Boys” reportedly refers to the National Security Agency (NSA). Brennan later becomes President Obama’s CIA Director.
Former CIA Director John Brennan
Early February 2011:
After receiving an anonymous tip, CBS News investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson begins researching the Department of Justice “gunwalking” operation nicknamed “Fast and Furious” that secretly let thousands of weapons be trafficked to Mexican drug cartels. One of the “walked” guns had been used by illegal aliens who murdered U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in December 2010.
February 22, 2011:
CBS’ Attkisson breaks news about “Fast and Furious” on The CBS Evening News.
After the story airs, the government issues an internal memo that seeks to “push positive stories” to contradict the news.
“Given the negative coverage by CBS Evening News last week…ATF needs to proactively push positive stories this week, in an effort to preempt some negative reporting, or at minimum, lessen the coverage of such stories in the news cycle by replacing them with good stories about ATF.”
March 4, 2011:
CBS News’ Attkisson exclusively interviews sitting ATF special agent John Dodson. He gives a firsthand account contradicting government denials re: Fast and Furious.
May 2011:
White House recruits democratic operative Eric Schultz to spin on Fast and Furious and to counter the House Oversight Committee’s investigative work on the case. (Schultz previously served as intern to Sen. Charles Schumer and Hillary Clinton.)
