When Public Distrust of the FBI Comes Home to Roost

The FBI has spent years earning our distrust. Those leading the bureau have refused to address their obvious issues — behaving as if they were above accountability. But violating the public trust has consequences, which they are just now learning.

In just the last eight years, the world’s “premier law enforcement agency” has been caught

• implementing an “insurance policy” to subvert our electoral choice (Crossfire Hurricane),
• entrapping useful idiots for political advantage (Whitmer kidnapping and January 6 defendants),
• colluding with the DNC to pin their email server attack on the Russians and Donald Trump,
• hiding evidence of Biden family corruption (Hunter Biden laptop),
• obfuscating and perjuring before Congress (Seth Rich laptop testimony),
• raiding a journalist’s home to retrieve the diary of Joe Biden’s daughter (James O’Keefe),
• 
  conducting the first ever armed raid on a former president’s home (Mar-a-Lago), and
• violating our 1st Amendment rights to protect the Democrat narrative (social media censorship).
  

If there is anything more the FBI could have done to prove its untrustworthiness, it escapes my imagination — and I have a vivid imagination.

According to Rasmussen, 53 percent of Americans agree with the Roger Stone statement: “There is a group of politicized thugs at the top of the FBI who are using the FBI as Joe Biden’s personal Gestapo.”

The unethical, and even illegal, activities of the bureau are gaining public recognition. Suspecting the worst of the FBI is no longer the stuff of “lunatic conspiracy theories,” as its bad behavior has been documented by Michael Horowitz in his inspector general report and John Durham in his special counsel findings. As congressional investigations continue to examine the FBI as part of its oversight role, more evidence of corruption is coming to light every day. Here are highlights from some of the past bad actors.

• Peter Strzok attempted to oust an elected president.
• Andrew McCabe committed felony perjury to investigators.
• James Comey set a perjury trap for President Trump’s national security adviser and illegally leaked classified information to the press.
• Kevin Clinesmith falsified evidence, which was used to obtain a FISA warrant.
  
• Stephen D’Antuono oversaw an entrapment scheme to implicate MAGA conservatives.
• W. Jay Abbott failed to take action against sexual predator Larry Nassar, while he pursued employment opportunities with the U.S. Olympic Committee.

Many more continue to work at the FBI but are being protected by bureau refusal to cooperate with congressional oversight (looking at you, Director Wray).

None of these FBI officials received any punishment even approaching what would be applied to American civilians for similar offenses. The minimal punishments they received, if any, will do nothing to discourage future misbehavior at the bureau.

The public has been left with the perception that the FBI refuses to hold its own accountable for ethical or criminal violations. If there were a “few bad apples” ten years ago, they have now caused rot throughout the basket. The motto of the bureau that claims to operate “above reproach” has become a joke:

• Fidelity — but only to leftist ideology.
• Bravery — in subverting self-governance.
• Integrity — except when lies are more convenient.

Did the FBI understand the consequences of lost public trust? Did its members think treachery would lead to limitless power — in which they could wield police powers with impunity? How did they fail to see that their loss of integrity would eventually usurp their ability to function?

The bureau’s police powers derive from those they swear an oath to...

5 Years After Las Vegas Concert Shooting, an FBI Whistleblower Reveals Probable Motive

It has been five years since Stephen Paddock stashed an arsenal of weapons in his Las Vegas hotel room and began spraying outdoor concertgoers with more than a thousand rounds of rifle fire, killing 58 people and wounding 869. Since the Oct. 1, 2017, massacre, there’s been neither an official nor satisfactory explanation for why Paddock took his assorted rifles and shot those country music fans. But now, an FBI whistleblower believes he has the motive.

Las Vegas Police issued a 138-page report on the shooting yet kicked over to the FBI and their experts the job of coming up with the motive.

Why?

In 2019, the FBI finally issued a short report claiming the accountant, real estate investor, high-stakes gambler, and former McDonnell Douglas and Lockheed employee acted alone and had no political or religious agenda. The nation’s formerly premier law enforcement agency could not determine a motive.

That seems odd, given the J-6 political prosecutions in which FBI agents attribute all kinds of malevolence to “white nationalists” and assume that anyone around the Capitol Building that day, regardless of color and ethnicity, was determined to overthrow the government with pepper spray and MAGA hats.

And it seems especially odd, considering the FBI fancies its role as more of an intelligence agency than law enforcement these days, according to an FBI whistleblower.

We’ve learned all too well in the Trump-Russian collusion farce that the 7th Floor at FBI HQ is more than willing to lie, conspire, and frame with near-impunity. Why not against this white guy, Stephen Paddock? Why no theories for why he was the avatar of evil? Why not indulge The Intercept in its fervent fever dreams about him fitting “the profile of a far-right political extremist bent on sowing violence in society”?

No one is suggesting the FBI framed Paddock, obviously. It’s just that the FBI suits who spied on Trump because their political cronies wanted him taken out as a political rival don’t seem shy about ascribing real or fake motives to targets. Just ask Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, John Eastman, and of course, Donald Trump himself.
Planning

Paddock was a meticulous evil-doer.

A year before the attack, he purchased several new cellphones, according to the LVPD report. At least one was a burner phone. Most of the calls to all five of his phones were incoming calls.

A long-time gun enthusiast, Paddock stepped up his acquisition of legally purchased long guns a year before the attack. He often immersed himself in his new hobbies, such as scuba diving and flying his own plane. According to the report, Paddock would soon grow bored with his new hobbies and sell off the equipment.

The independently wealthy man appears to have staked out several different places to commit a mass shooting. He looked at La Jolla, California beaches, the Lollapalooza Festival at Chicago’s Grant Park, and even positioned some of his guns in a Vegas condo with a view of the “Life Is Beautiful” outdoor music festival. Indeed, Paddock had overlapping reservations at the condo building and the Mandalay Bay resort while he apparently figured out which concert to attack.

Before he settled on the Route 91 Harvest festival, he arranged airfare and travel expenses for his girlfriend to visit her family in the Philippines. Her planned return was set for the day after the massacre. He wired her $150,000 while she was there.

Police say he looked up how the Las Vegas Police Department SWAT team would respond to a mass shooting so he could game out how to respond.

Though he’d previously allowed hotel cleaning staff in his room, on Sept. 30, after receiving room service meals, Paddock put the “Do Not Disturb” sign on the doors to the two suites he occupied. He brought in more guns. He used the room service carts to stage cameras outside in the hall and inside by the door so he could monitor where the good guys were located. Another camera was on a peephole.

Authorities report that while he’d lost some money in October, Paddock was financially well off and independent, so the failure of fortune wasn’t a motive.

He thought religious people — even his Catholic girlfriend — were stupid, according to his brother, who also said Paddock was politically non-committal. This was a repeated theme among his friends and family, and argued against a religious reason behind the attack.

Paddock’s brother said the former IRS employee would do their taxes and cheat on their behalf.

Though investigators were able to determine the items Paddock had searched for online, he removed the hard drives from his computers so authorities couldn’t find out what he’d been up to.

The FBI dismissed reports that ISIS had orchestrated the shooting and other theories reported during and in the immediate aftermath of the shooting.

What Was Wrong With Him?

Paddock’s financial investments were easily discoverable but his inner thoughts were not. The authorities say he kept his ideas to himself, and his girlfriend said that in the year leading up to the mass killing, their love life had disintegrated, and theirs became more like an employer/employee relationship.

Sure, Paddock was objectively out of his mind. But no one thought so when he was alive. They just thought he was a self-centered, eccentric jerk who always thought he was the smartest person in the room.

Toxicology reports showed that Paddock had elevated arsenic, lead, and mercury levels in his system, but could not associate the amounts with psychopathy or violent behavior. His family members believed he was a narcissist. He had an inhaler and diazepam in his room but there wasn’t much made of that. He had heart issues, high blood pressure, and things other 64-year-old men suffer from. His teeth were rotting in his head because he refused to go to a dentist due to “allergies.” When he put his Smith and Wesson revolver in his mouth and shot up, he did maximum damage to his brain. There was no exit wound. The .38-caliber round was found in his head.

Answers?

Why did Stephen Paddock commit these unspeakable crimes against humanity?

Nearly 16 months before the Las Vegas mass shooting, Omar Mateen took his arsenal to Orlando’s Pulse nightclub and committed the worst mass shooting in U.S. history — until Las Vegas. Theories abounded about the motive for that shooting. At the time, it was seen as a hate crime against gays enjoying themselves at one of their favorite spots.

Some rationalized that Mateen was a self-hating homosexual drenched in Islamic guilt.

But Mateen himself told the world he committed the act on behalf of ISIS in retaliation for an ISIS leader’s death. He’d been on the FBI’s radar for his radicalization.

At this point, ISIS was ascendant and in the news for its despicable, inhumane acts, which the group often filmed.

So what happened in Las Vegas?

Former FBI special agent John Guandolo told Turning Point USA in a recorded interview (below) that there’s a 90% certainty that the Las Vegas attack was a...

New bid to spin Hunter Biden’s laptop

As Hunter Biden waits for the outcome of the Delaware criminal federal investigation into his taxes and overseas business dealings to be made public, new allies are attempting to flip the script on the scandal of his infamous laptop.

Kevin Morris, the generous Los Angeles entertainment lawyer who loaned Hunter more than $2 million to pay off his tax debts, has launched a sensational public-relations campaign to discredit the laptop and divert attention from its damning revelations of the Biden family’s international influence-peddling scheme.

Morris, 58, has assembled a team of 30 lawyers and investigators to help his friend Hunter, 52, “blunt the impact” of the Delaware probe, according to CBS News.

But leaks from inside the Morris camp, and a hand-scrawled mind map he has shared with confidants, show a chaotic disinformation project attempting to rewrite the story of the laptop’s 

The counternarrative Morris is mounting on Hunter’s behalf has nothing to do with the damning contents of the laptop, which have been repeatedly verified as authentic by multiple media organizations since The Post broke the story in October 2020.

Instead, Hunter’s team is attempting to sow confusion about how the laptop became public, by denying that he abandoned his laptop in John Paul Mac Isaac’s Delaware repair shop on April 12, 2019, and claiming his private information was somehow stolen, “hacked” or “cloned.”

But the chain of custody of that laptop has been well established by The Post.

Mac Isaac came to legally own the MacBook 90 days after Hunter failed to reclaim it or pay his $85 repair bill. After finding Ukrainian material on the laptop that he thought was relevant to Donald Trump’s impeachment trial, Mac Isaac handed over the computer to the FBI on Dec. 9, 2019.

In August 2020, Mac Isaac FedExed a copy of the laptop’s contents on a hard drive to Bob Costello, the lawyer of Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, who alerted The Post. The hard drive formed the basis of The Post’s bombshell reports in October 2020, revealing Joe Biden’s involvement in Hunter’s overseas business dealings, despite his denials.

But in Morris’ telling, there was no laptop dropped off with Mac Isaac, just a laptop which Hunter abandoned on Feb. 1, 2019, at the office of his psychiatrist, Dr. Keith Ablow, in Newburyport, Mass., where he was being treated for his crack addiction.

Morris alleges in his scrawled mind map, and in conversations with confidants, that Trump ally Roger Stone and his lawyer, Tyler Nixon, masterminded a plot with Ablow and Mac Isaac to create “clones” of the laptop left in Newburyport to damage Joe before the 2020 election.

The computer repairman shared how he received Biden’s laptop.

Tenuous connections include that Stone wrote the foreword for Ablow’s 2020 book, “Trump Your Life,” and Ablow wrote columns for The Post in 2009.

The conspiracy theory has been aired by CBS News and is being disseminated on Twitter by the Brooklyn Dad Defiant account, run by left-wing social-media influencer Majid Padellan, who reportedly has been paid thousands of dollars by a Democratic PAC to post pro-Biden opinions.

Padellan started tweeting about Ablow and Stone two weeks ago, alleging, “Dr. Keith Ablow is one of the shady characters that is being exposed for tampering with Hunter’s laptop, one of many in the busted chain of custody . . . #AblowClones.”
‘A work of fiction’

But this counternarrative is easily disproven and was dismissed Sunday by Ablow as “a work of fiction,” by Stone as “insane conjecture bordering on defamation” and by Mac Isaac as a “loose effort to muddy the waters.”

It is true that Hunter abandoned a second laptop at Ablow’s office, along with a $12,000 Loro Piana blazer that he declined to pick up, despite numerous reminders from Ablow’s secretary.

That second laptop remained in a safe in Ablow’s basement for a year, until the psychiatrist was raided by the Drug Enforcement Administration on Feb. 13, 2020. Ablow was never charged over the raid, but DEA agents seized the laptop, which was then returned to Hunter’s lawyer George Mesires.

A third laptop belonging to Hunter was stolen by Russian drug dealers in August 2018, during a bender in Las Vegas, according to Hunter, who recorded himself telling the tale in a video on...

DoJ Releases Memo Completely Exonerating Trump of Planning J6 & WOW

The FBI has found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result, according to four current and former law enforcement officials, Reuters reports.

Though federal officials have arrested more than 570 alleged participants, the FBI at this point believes the violence was not centrally coordinated by far-right groups or prominent supporters of then-President Donald Trump, according to the sources, who have been either directly involved in or briefed regularly on the wide-ranging investigations.

“Ninety to ninety-five percent of these are one-off cases,” said a former senior law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation. “Then you have five percent, maybe, of these militia groups that were more closely organized. But there was no grand scheme with Roger Stone and Alex Jones and all of these people to storm the Capitol and take hostages.”

They called groups like the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys “cells” as if they were terrorists, but admit these groups had no plans of what to do inside the Capitol.

Reuters accused Donald Trump of making an “incendiary speech.” What is incendiary about telling protesters to march peacefully? His speech was a typical stump speech.

So read the following excerpt from the memo and ask yourself why the dimwit Stalinists on the J6 committee are wasting our tax dollars investigating J6:

Roger Stone unbound, ungagged: Mueller prosecutors 'satanic'

You were expecting the perpetual bad boy of GOP politics would emerge from his long ordeal at the hands of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s prosecutors chastened, housebroken, mellowed? Fat chance.

Newly delivered by President Trump, with just days to spare, from the 40-month prison sentence that had been looming before him, Roger Stone is wearing a t-shirt blaring the words, "Roger Stone Still Did Nothing Wrong."

You were expecting the perpetual bad boy of GOP politics would emerge from his long ordeal at the hands of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s prosecutors chastened, housebroken, mellowed?

Fat chance.

"I can guarantee you, I don't intend to become boring" says Stone.

"I really do believe that those who are trying to undo this president, those who are trying to destroy me, trying to destroy Michael Flynn — who's a very good man and great American patriot war hero — I do believe they're satanic," Stone tells Just The News in a podcast interview for The Pod’s Honest Truth. “I don't believe that any of these people involved in my prosecution are really believers in God."

Stone’s recent biblical talk is no surprise, given his decision earlier this year to follow Jesus. After a rough 2019 that saw him convicted of lying to Congress and obstructing a congressional investigation into the now-debunked Trump-Russian collusion narrative, Stone drew closer to God. Now, President Trump has commuted his sentence, and it has freed Stone to speak out against a prosecution team he believes was stacked against him from the start.

"The prosecutors in my view were not honest," Stone says. "I think they were politically motivated. They wanted me to lie, to bear false witness against the president in return for some kind of leniency … I know of no illegal or inappropriate actions by the president whatsoever. They went through every email, every text message, and every phone call. There is no evidence to...

Adam Schiff is panicking about criminal investigation led by federal prosecutor

How Attorney General William Barr may yet unleash the power of the Justice Department has House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff unnerved.

The California Democrat invoked U.S. Attorney John Durham, who is conducting a criminal inquiry of the federal Russia investigation, as he discussed his dread that "more serious abuse" of federal law enforcement will happen in the coming days.

"One of the concerns I have with Bill Barr is that the worst is yet to come. I mean, he's got a terrible, destructive track record as it is, and it may get worse in the coming days," Schiff said in a recent episode of the Talking Feds podcast. "But what we have seen largely is Barr's intervention to protect the president."

As examples, Schiff mentioned Barr's rollout of special counsel Robert Mueller's report and "intervention" in cases spun off from the Russia investigation to "help Trump cronies" such as Roger Stone and former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

"What we have not yet had full visibility on is not Barr's use of the shield to protect corruption writ large of his boss, Donald Trump, but the sword," Schiff continued. "How he may be using the power of the Justice Department through Durham or others to go after the president's enemies. And in many respects, that is a far greater, more serious abuse of the power of the Justice Department than his use of the shield."

It's a well-worn line of criticism for Schiff, who has complained since last year that the Justice Department has kept the Democratic-led House in the dark about its inquiries into whether there was inappropriate "spying" on Trump's 2016 campaign and...

Mark Levin Torches Roger Stone’s Judge

As you have probably heard, Roger Stone was sentenced today to 3 years and 4 months in prison for lying and witness tampering. The Obama Judge in his case, Amy Berman Jackson, lambasted Stone prior to the sentencing. She seems to think he’s a master criminal.

The FBI helped make a felon out of this 67-year-old man who never committed a crime in his life. Many believe Stone was convicted not only for process crimes, but also for his political leanings. Meanwhile, Andrew McCabe, Jim Comey, Congress can lie with impunity.

Mark Levin feels it was a malicious political prosecution.

He asked a great question in a tweet. Why is the gag order still in place? Judge Jackson took Stone’s 1st Amendment rights away.

Mark R. Levin

✔@marklevinshow

Why has Judge Jackson continued her gag order on Roger Stone?  The trial is over.  It’s been over.  She has no constitutional authority to continue to silence Stone and violate his 1st amendment right under threat of imprisonment.

As Levin says, Jackson should “not be handling cases,” she is “not capable of impartial justice.”

“Most other judges handling this case would’ve been appalled by the conduct of the jury foreman and immediately undertaken an investigation of what transpired in her own courtroom,” Levin wrote.

But not Jackson who is the judge who “put Paul Manafort in solitary confinement.”
