Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is furious with Special Counsel John Durham’s final report and is calling for action to be taken to reign in the powers of the FBI.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In an unprecedented move to protect the safety and security of millions of Americans, the FBI has added itself to the FBI watchlist.

"When we reflected on the vast number of pedophiles, insurrectionists, frauds, and killers in our organization, we thought: 'Holy cow! Someone needs to keep an eye on these weirdos!'" said FBI Director Christopher Wray to reporters. "That's why today we have decided to place the FBI on the FBI watchlist so the FBI can keep a close eye on the FBI before the FBI does something terrible."

Congress is demanding oversight of the FBI's monitoring of the FBI, as the FBI has been known in the past to let the FBI get away with horrific crimes. The FBI in turn is monitoring the Congressional oversight committee in charge of overseeing the FBI's oversight of the FBI. "Americans shouldn't worry, we have this all under control," said Wray.

Critics of the move expressed concern this may hamper the FBI's ability to organize governor kidnapping schemes, insurrections, and mass shootings.

"Without the FBI at our disposal, we may have to turn to traditional partners such as the mafia to fight our political enemies," said one anonymous Washington bureaucrat. "What's the world coming to?"

At publishing time, the FBI announced they now have the FBI in custody. Unfortunately, they released the FBI from custody a few minutes later.

Now that Mr. Durham has gotten around to confirming what most of us have known for nearly seven years — namely, that Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Brennan, Jim Comey, James Clapper, and the State-aligned press corps doing the Intelligence Community's bidding all conspired to push the fraudulent Russian collusion narrative in an attempt to take down a duly elected president — there are quite a few people calling for the FBI to be either reformed or disbanded. Surprisingly, some of these people now calling for the FBI's demolition are even elected officials.

My response is simple: that should be just the beginning. The federal government is rotten to its core. By the terms of the U.S. Constitution, it has accumulated powers and authorities far beyond anything enumerated and vested to it. It funds a massive administrative state that should not exist. It not only ignores the Bill of Rights, but actively works to undermine those rights.

In my estimation, any government official who engages in public censorship, religious discrimination, gun confiscation, or warrantless searches of private records, in violation of Americans' First, Second, and Fourth Amendment rights, has explicitly betrayed any constitutional oath taken before entering office. Anybody in any office attempting to implement some form of a "disinformation" board to monitor and modify Americans' speech should never hold office again. That so many elected and unelected federal employees not only disregard Americans' constitutional rights, but also vocally brag about infringing them demonstrates that a malignant cancer afflicts the central government from head to toe.

So, yes, disband the FBI, but don't stop there until all the powers stolen by the federal government have been properly returned to the states and the American people. To save the Republic, the federal government must be starved and diminished. Anything less is like putting a Band-Aid on a cannonball's exit wound.

The Stasi-FBI improperly used warrantless search powers more than 278,000 times in 2021 following the January 6 protests in Washington DC according to an unsealed FISC filing.

The FBI searches included Trump supporters who attended protests in Washington DC on January 6, 2021.

On Tuesday afternoon, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, announced that the FBI refused to apply with his subpoena and thus he will be holding FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress. Chairman Comer is demanding that the FBI hand over a document that a whistleblower alleges documents President Biden's bribery scheme.

"Today, the FBI informed [GOP Oversight] that it will not provide the unclassified documents subpoenaed by the Committee," Comer announced in a tweet. "The Committee will now be taking steps to hold FBI Director Wray in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a lawful subpoena."

Time to abolish the FBI

... That the FBI exists means you and I live in a post-constitutional America. The FBI has to be done away with.

To find our way back to the republic of liberty the Founders gave us, we must dismantle the Leviathan headquartered in Washington, D.C. The FBI has corrupted our political system and our system of justice. The Department of Education has ruined American education — once a shining example to the world — and done so in a remarkably brief time. The CDC imposed a brutal COVID absolutism that violated our rights and destroyed countless small businesses. The list goes on and on. Every Progressive innovation brings ruin. Their fatal flaw: concentration of power by design.

Much needs to be undone. If Americans awaken to the necessity and the urgency, it can be done quite simply. Education is a matter for the states; eliminating the Department of Education would make America better overnight. No doubt state departments of education would find ways to cooperate and also find ways to innovate not possible today. Likewise, abolishing the FBI would improve policing, perhaps as rapidly as abolishing the DOE would improve education. State and local police departments would also find ways to cooperate and to innovate. Cooperation and competition among the states would lead to better outcomes in every area of government.

If the central government returned to its few and defined responsibilities, becoming once again the Founders' federal government, there is reason to hope it might begin once again to do a respectable job watching out for America's interests. In any event, because the unconstitutional departments and agencies in Washington fund and empower agents of the Deep State, America needs to abolish them all.

FBI Worked with Ukraine to Censor American Citizens Online

Twitter has just published files that expose a collusion campaign between Ukraine’s government and the FBI to censor American citizens online.

According to the latest bombshell installment of the Twitter Files, the FBI sent Twitter an email from Ukrainian intelligence asking the social media platform to ban users.

The list contained Twitter users who posted content or comments that were critical of Ukraine.

The FBI also demanded that Twitter hand over “user data specified during registration” of those on the list. ...

“The FBI’s attempt to ban Twitter accounts at the request of Ukrainian intelligence is among the most overt requests for censorship revealed to date in the Twitter Files, a cache of leaked communications from the social media giant.”

Twitter declined to turn over the users’ data but banned dozens of people from the list. ...

This news comes as the FBI is desperately trying to cover up its collusion with Big Tech companies to censor the American people by blocking so-called “disinformation.”

@HarrisonHSmith
So let me get this straight - the FBI was withholding from congressional oversight a document showing that during the Obama admin, Biden accepted a $10 million bribe (through his son Hunter) to force the firing of a Ukrainian prosecutor that was investigating corruption.

An event that Donald Trump looked into, sparking the first impeachment and forcing the arming of Ukraine, in turn setting the stage for the current war against Russia.

Evidence of the bribe was also in Hunter Biden's laptop, which the FBI also had, but that they swore was Russian disinformation and infiltrated social media to censor during the 2020 campaign.

All while the FBI investigates Trump for having classified documents, despite the FBI admittedly letting Hillary Clinton off for a similar charge in 2016 when they were simultaneously launching the Russiagate investigation into Donald Trump using falsified evidence provided by the Clinton campaign.

Do I have that right?

In late May 2016, a man calling himself Henry Greenberg contacted Trump advisors Michael Caputo and Roger Stone offering negative information on Hillary Clinton. Both Stone and Caputo refused Greenberg’s offer, but in his May 2, 2018 interview with the Office of Special Counsel, Caputo noted the Mueller team knew far more than he did about the Greenberg approach. This set off alarms.

Following his OSC interview, Michael Caputo deployed the financial resources of the Michael Caputo Legal Fund to investigate Henry Greenberg in the United States and Russia. The results of this investigation are contained within the Greenberg Files.

The inquiry discovered “Henry Greenberg” is actually an alias: his legal name is Gennadiy Vasilievich Vostretsov. The 59 year old Russian citizen has assumed several names, apparently to avoid scrutiny: Vostretsov has a long history of violent criminal activity in Russia and the United States.

By his own sworn admission, Vostretsov has been an informant for the Federal Bureau of Investigations for at least 17 years. Comprised within the Greenberg Files, you will find irrefutable proof that another FBI informant contacted advisors to presidential candidate Donald J. Trump in summer 2016, offering information on Hillary Clinton.
