As we said in an earlier post, we had no idea that anyone was even paying attention to former Vice President Mike Pence, but now he’s leading Wednesday’s news cycle for his speech in which he said that calling to defund the FBI was as wrong as calling to defund the police. The White House also released a statement saying that President Joe Biden condemns calls from Republicans to defund the FBI. Former FBI special agent Asha Rangappa wants to know what happens when this anti-FBI rhetoric gets someone killed.
What is the GOP going to say/do when an FBI agent or judge gets harmed, or killed, as a result of their escalating rhetoric? Serious question. They can condemn this NOW

We normally count on Grabien Media’s Tom Elliott to provide us with great video clips, but what he has for us today is a righteous thread explaining why we all should be calling to defund the FBI:
If you're pro-law enforcement, you should also be pro-defunding the FBI, as it's an unaccountable secret police force infamous for harboring criminals, framing the innocent w/ crimes, ignoring actual security threats, and sabotaging U.S. elections https://t.co/TYaBAqFDhL

FBI in 1964: Investigated Goldwater at Pres. Johnson's instruction
FBI in 2016: Gave Hillary a "get out of jail free card" while framing Trump w/ RussiaGate
FBI in 2000: Had Hunter laptop, knew it had evidence of Biden corruption, instead helped circulate claim it was "disinfo"

FBI in 2022: Three months before midterms, agents conduct unprecedented raid on Trump, offering variety of conflicting explanations.
Throughout Trump's presidency, they probed him for supposedly doing what they themselves are now doing virtually every election.

Another reason you can be pro-law and order and anti-FBI is because the FBI doesn't even have a constitutional mandate to exist in the first place. The entire operation is a violation of Americans' constitutional rights.

If the FBI weren't so busy interfering in elections & framing innocent Americans, perhaps they wouldn't have missed these 21 mass murderers who were brought to their attention yet still somehow failed to stop https://t.co/uvDTRhNadg

FBI in 2016 also gave Hillary's team "Get out of jail free" cards while executing warrants, planting informants, and listening in on Trump's team.

All true. Hillary was even given questions BEFORE the FBI brought her in, plus she was allowed to bring her lawyer along-all while never having her home raided as Mar-A-Largo was‼️

The FBI knew about the Boston Marathon Bombers and did nothing.

The DOJ/FBI can falsely label conservatives domestic terrorists but get defensive when we justifiably question their integrity.

A while ago it was forbidden to question U.S. intelligence as a whole, but now it’s especially forbidden to question the FBI. Who makes these rules? The Left does and then cries that people will die if you don’t stop.
