It is no secret that the FBI has been headed by the most corrupt men in this country’s long distinguished existence. The last four directors have been a stain on this country. The last four stains are Christopher Wray, Andrew McCabe, James Comey, and Robert Mueller. Under their leadership, the FBI has been weaponized and is now the enforcement arm of the Democratic Party. The newest scandal is from the Comey era.
Comey had weaponized the Bureau and Devin Nunes began an investigation and as a result, Comey targeted two of Nunes’ staffers. The only reason we are just finding out about this now is that the FBI was able to cover it up. Google has a policy of notifying users of law enforcement actions taken against their accounts 5 years after the actions are taken. And for Kash Patel, the chief investigator on then-House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, the 5-year limit was reached in late 2022.

Nunes was a tough investigator and he was investigating the FBI over their illegal actions in trying to hand Hillary Clinton the White House and the attempt to deny President Trump victory and later in trying to drive him from office. Because of that, Comey’s FBI targeted Kash Patel and an unnamed investigation who worked for the Republicans and Nunes.

he House Judiciary Committee on Thursday opened a formal investigation into why the FBI snooped on two Republican House Intelligence Committee staffers during the height of the Russia collusion probe, suggesting the seizure of their private email and records may have been retaliation for the panel’s efforts to expose bureau misconduct.
The letter from Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, to FBI Director Christopher Wray was prompted by reporting in Just the News and the New York Post revealing that Kash Patel, the chief investigator on then-House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes’ team, had his email seized from Google back in late 2017, just before the release of a report that identified significant failures and abuses in the Russia collusion scandal.
Patel and a second unnamed committee investigator were not notified until 2022, five years after the seizure, Just the News reported.
Well Jim Jordan is proving to be as much a bulldog as Nunes was and is opening up an investigation into the subpoenas, asking the obvious question: why did the FBI snoop in the private emails of investigators who were working on oversight into what is now proven to be FBI malpractice in its investigation of President Trump?
Seems like a pretty good question.
FBI Director Wray is proving to be one of Donald Trump’s worst political appointments, a status for which there is a very high bar. Wray has been at least as bad as Comey when it comes to violating the civil rights of Americans, insisting that the FBI hasn’t been doing what it clearly has: targeting American citizens with a censorship regime, labeling ordinary Americans “domestic terrorists,” and going after religious Americans, especially pro-life Catholics.
FBI Director Wray today refused to condemn the FBI's treatment of Mark Houck.

But the FBI has proven to be too inclined to abuse its power–going back to its earliest days, and the tradition apparently continues.
We can overestimate the ability of any bureaucracy to maintain focus on its primary task and retain integrity over time. I think it is in the nature of the beast, whether the organization is public or private. What is distinctive about public bureaucracies is not that they fail over time, but that there is no penalty for failure; indeed, often there is benefit.
The usual response to government failures is to expand power and increase the flow of money to correct problems, leading to ever greater bloat and indifference to failure and even malfeasance. Look at the worst actors in the Crossfire Hurricane scandal. What price have they paid? All the worst actors are heroes to the Left, show up on TV as commentators, and are better off financially now than before.
