De-fund the FBI.

This has to begin in the Red states. As of today, Red state governors should:

1. Suspend any active investigations that are assisting FBI personnel or being assisted by FBI (replace with State LE)

2. Announce a “vote of no confidence” in the FBI, particularly at the Director and upper management level.

3. Declare the FBI’s “authority” as being no longer recognized by the State at this time and all personnel a hereby “persona non grata”.

4. Open State level criminal and civil investigations on thr FBI personnel whose actions were either criminal or violated a right of any of that State’s citizens.

I’m sure there’s more to add, but it’s a rough draft.

There are some parents affiliated with Moscow, ID who wouldn’t be too keen on Barney Fife leading murder investigations. The FBI can still do good work and has more resources than local LE - it is just that good work solving crimes has ceased to be a priority

Then, try, sentence, and, hang 'em high.

It would be interesting to find out who provided the authorization to spend this money? There also has to be a reason provided. Can't just give to anyone for any reason.

That and I’d love to know if it was reported as revenue on quarterly report

Americans should be "outraged" at the actions taken by the FBI individuals & Tweeter but since most Americans seem to have their heads buried in their asses I'm pretty sure the schmucks involved will never receive the admonishment they so deserve.

Just pathetic.

Until it affects the citizens directly and personally, they won't care. Ignorance and apathy are

not admirable traits.

“The FBI” paid Titter. Eg, we paid Titter to break the law against us.

Yup. More of our taxpayer monies.

WE NEED TO HAVE TRANSPARENT REAL TIME SYSTEMS THAT WE CAN SEE WHERE OUR MONEY IS SPENT.

LETS DO A CBDC ON THE GOVERNMENT.

So how do we do that?

Fact: Everyone in government is paid by taxes somehow. If it comes from a business, it’s wages you didn’t earn or the higher price you paid for the end product of that business.

Presume: Everyone in government is not spending your donated tax dollars efficiently or honestly, or working hard and to your best interest unless they can prove otherwise.

Examples: Teachers. What have we learned about teachers the past 3-4 years? FBI. Clapper. Brennan. Clinton. Road taxes. Governor Polis.

Use the “guilty until proven innocent” premise with all government entities and then personally follow up with local officials about promises and work quality. Compliment the good, broadcast the bad. It’s a full-time job.

FBI and DOJ are in serious need of an overhaul and lawbreakers there need full justice. Set an example some say.

Infuriating and frightening as I read the Twitter files, all while listening to the dreaded J6 committee, Bari Weiss commented that one of the twitter employees, named Navaroli, said in her first "dump" that Trump's comments weren't incendiary at all, but lied to the J6 committee, saying the opposite. I was permanently suspended from Twitter and have yet to be reinstated. I don't know what it was that triggered that.

Seems all we can hope for in the near term is a Republican Congress that fights smartly.

FBI is so corrupt. Wray should be jailed.

Who can we trust and what will be done about it??

That agency is beyond saving. I said many years ago that partisan and racialized

elements within these agencies would use their power and access to citizens social media accounts to dox, ghost, catfish, and threaten out of existence in social media the people that didn't towards the leftist line. It is worse than you think. Individual agents have been pulling this crap for many years now.

Ruby Ridge and Waco come to mind...these guys have been out of control since the Clinton admin.

Where did FBI get the millions to pay Twitter who authorized this?

So, the FBI/DHS/CIA Laundered 'Tax Payer' Money to Twitter??.....Yep, sure did....Same as the Ukraine 'Money Laundering' aid, Same as the Omnibus 'Money Laundering' Bill......

Why aren't the American People angry about this?

Expand full comment

Mostly they are not truly aware of the seriousness of what's been going on. They watch network news on TV and think that's all that matters. Deep State-controlled Network news won't touch this matter.

I have been so angry for so long..since March 2020 actually, when Fauci muscled Trump

aside and poo pooed HCQ...I knew then this was going to be terrible...and it has been.

I can't beleive how angry I still am at all of it...but maybe my anger is keeping me going.

That’s my money (and yours) they’re using to spy on us! Absolutely corrupt and criminal!!!

Did Twitter report that FBI money as earnings? That seems .... shady if they did

Expand full comment

Not sure if this is Bribery or Extortion?

Expand full comment

And that’s the point. It was both. Carrot and stick. The FBI made it hard to say no, and easy to say yes. I bet it’s also illegal.

Try Treason.

I went and looked at the Constitution’s definition of treason....it is very narrowly defined and probably could not be applied in this case.

Unfortunately, breaking the oath to the Constitution is not considered treason.

There are, however, other laws that could be used to prosecute these people.

Just to let people know, I'm a retired FBI agent from 25 years ago and I agree with all of you. I hope they see this. It ain't what it used to be. If there were/are 80 agents inside Twitter they should have known better.

Sorry, I don't understand the question.

You're better off ignoring your correspondent. His main characteristic is leaving nonsensical comments, seemingly at random. He appears rather like a troll. Cheers.

“Left” fascists in panic

Censor or Else: Democratic Members Warn Facebook Not to “Backslide” on Censorship

With the restoration of free speech protections on Twitter, panic has grown on the left that its control over social media could come to an end. Now, some of the greatest advocates of censorship in Congress are specifically warning Facebook not to follow Twitter in restoring free speech to its platform.

In a chilling letter from Reps. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), André Carson (D-Ind.), Kathy Castor (D-Fla.) and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), Facebook was given a not-so-subtle threat that reducing its infamous censorship system will invite congressional action. The letter to Meta’s president of global affairs, Nick Clegg, is written on congressional stationery “as part of our ongoing oversight efforts.”
