FBI and Intel Agencies Are Politically Compromised

 

   The American public is politically divided somewhat evenly, according to the outcomes of the last several elections, and most polls. There's been a pattern, actually, where a new executive comes into office with a congressional majority, and loses one or both houses in the midterms, but still gets reelected. By the end of their second term, the nation is sick of them, and their party, and the process is repeated. This cycle has been in effect since the '90's, with a few aberrations, until the Trump presidency.

   Pres. Trump broke much more than the political cycle of the last 30 years. He blew up both the Republican and Democratic parties, and exposed the extent that the US intelligence and law enforcement bureaucracies were illegally interfering in national elections. There is no doubt that Democrats think that James Comey's public reopening of the Clinton email investigation cost her the election in 2016. Likewise, Republicans think that the FBI's "covert" suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story cost Trump the election in 2020. Both sides can agree that the FBI, and other intelligence agencies have been meddling in domestic politics.

   Can something be done about this? Not likely, because each party has a partisan agenda. The Republican House of Representatives probably will find enough evidence in Hunter's laptop to impeach Pres. Biden, but the Democratic Senate will aquit him. It's doubtful that either chamber of Congress will agree on actual reforms to the FBI, and whatever other intelligence agencies are at fault here, as well as reforming the standards for the FISA court. 

   Right now, it looks like the intel agencies and FBI are backing the Democrats, but that can change. Democrats have done stupid things before, for short term political gain. Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid went "nuclear" on judicial appointees, making it a simple majority of 51 votes, which opened the door for Republicans to appoint enough SCOTUS Justices to overturn Roe v. Wade. This is the history of politics.

   Elected Democrats, and their handmaidens in the media and big tech seem to think that using their slim majority power to censor and "cancel" conservative voices comes without a cost. I will cite one Elected Democrat, Ro Khanna, who warned Twitter about censoring the Hunter Biden story. Now, they are still trying to ignore the substance of the info on the laptop, while acknowledging it is real. The Twitter Files emails may prove that Twitter was acting as a government agent, illegaly censoring the NY Post's right to free speech.

   Again, there is a clear problem with our leading law enforcement and intelligence agencies. I remember the '70's, and the Church Committee, which was bipartisan, and was the most comprehensive review of our intelligence agencies ever. Pres. Trump was investigated deeper than either Pres. Nixon or Clinton, and is still being investigated by NYS and GA. It would be nice if Ro Khanna, and other Democrats could join with the GOP to put some restrictions on the FBI and other intel agancies, to keep them out of interfering in political campaigns.

   On a final note, the FBI has to be forced to reveal how long they had the info that has now been verified from Hunter Biden's laptop, and why they warned Twitter and Facebook to treat it a a "Russian hack." Who can prosecute the FBI, in this matter? Well, Elon Musk is providing the evidence. Maybe we can have a "Khanna Committee," and get to the bottom of the politicization of the FBI and the intel community. To date, most Dem pols have been covering up for them, unlike in the '70's.

The Biden Record, and the Democrats Who Supported It, Pt. 4: How Biden Blew Up the Economy With Inflation

   The US economy is in chaos. This is not "spin," or "opinion," but a fact. Some people aren't feeling it as hard as others, because they were well-off before the inflation started. Unfortunately, the worst is yet to come, and it will affect those "well-off" people, to a greater degree than it does currently, as the recession sets in. It also will present a crisis for government, as the interest rates for the chronic borrowing that sustains all of their largesse double, triple, or even quadruple. How did we get here, after what was shaping up as a robust recovery from the pandemic response inspired recession?    When Pres. Biden was elected, almost every policy that had been in place was reversed. We've looked at the disatrous results of this on the southern border , but what's happened to our economy has impacted many more Americans. It started out on day one, when Biden killed the KeystoneXL pipeline, followed by freezing new federal leases

The Biden Debacle Part II

  In my previous post, I wrote about Pres. Biden's disastrous policy at the border, as well as it's impact on the spread of COVID. I also noted his false promise of bipartisanship, and embrace of the far left agenda. This post will deal with some of that agenda, including it's impact on the economy, law enforcement, race relations, education and the military. They're all interconnected in no small way, and Pres. Biden is making a mess of them all. With the left wing ascendant in his own party, he has found it easier to go along with them, rather than work with Republicans, even when they propose policies that a majority of Democrats support. The economy was recovering before Biden assumed office, and yet he continues to push a long wish list of leftist policies in the name of "recovery." The extension of unemployment benefits is a good example of how they can backfire. While he denies that the extra payments were keeping people from returning to work, the sta

The Bogus Charges Against Pres. Trump, Part IV

      One can say many critical things about former Pres. Trump, many of which may be true. However, there is one thing that also is true, but is not critical: He has been the most unjustly accused president of the modern era. It's a fact: The "Russian collusion" allegations, which were not true. The two "impeachments," that didn't follow the regular House rules so blatantly that they were dismissed by the Senate both times, and now, a Manhattan DA has indicted Trump on the most spurious of grounds.    It's about time that DA Alvin Bragg was thrown out of office. This "prosecutorial overreach" should just be the final straw, because he has enough reasons preceding this. Abusing "discretion" to cover a "blanket" ban on prosecuting any specific offense is an abuse of power. He doesn't get to order his ADA's how to use their discretion, on specific crimes. It's incredibly ironic that he now is trying to upgrade a mi
