COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY JILL ABRAMSON IN THE

“Trump's attack on the
FBI is an attack on the US constitution itself”
Oh, I am very sorry, but I think you have that quite wrong.
I don't want to defend Trump. He's a nasty piece of work, but
even a nasty piece of work can be correct sometimes.
The FBI in fact has no place in the US Constitution. It
could be argued that its very existence violates that document.
Freedom of speech and assembly combined with an American
Stasi?
But even if its very existence doesn't violate the
Constitution, its hideous lifetime record of behavior does.
And, again, ignoring what we think of Trump, we do have
strong suggestions of highly inappropriate behavior by the FBI around the
election of Trump.
Does anyone really think secret police should be able to
work against a proper election?
Keeping secret files on Congressmen. Helping Presidents do
political spying. Hounding innocent citizens. Setting up agent provocateur
operations. These and far more are the FBI’S legacy.
If you want a clear brief history of this abysmal
organization, see:
