re: Looking like the masterminds behind the Whitmer Kidnapping plot may have been FBI agents

They've moved past entrapment to just committing the crimes themselves when they can't talk anyone into doing it.

Isn't this how Ruby Ridge got started?

Taking a break from the cheeky metaphors to be serious for a bit.

The FBI has pissed away all credibility when they got caught editing emails to present as evidence to a FISA. To bolster their case, they tried using opposition research to obtain a wiretap warrant on a certain presidential candidate. Fisa courts are basically a rubber stamp factory, but they initially rejected that application because it was weaker than a paper umbrella.

So some FBI lawyers leaked a bullshite story about Trump, hookers, and a Russian Hotel to Yahoo News. Then in an astounding example of information laundering, they used the Yahoo article as an independent 3rd party source in another FISA application. This time thy got it.

Regardless of what you feel about Trump, this is an intolerable level of corruption. You can make jokes about their incompetence because they ignored tips on the Pulse Nightclub terrorist and the Parkland shooter (they did...both times). But completely violating a private citizen's civil rights for political reasons is something that should not happen in this country. And it's baked into their culture since at at least Martin Luther King era.

If someone other than Biden wins the 2024 election, the first thing they need to do is start dismantling and scaling back this organization. It needs to be refocused to investigating real threats to Americans instead of being a political tool. We need a credible, effective FBI. We don't have that.
