Mike Pence: Talking About Defunding the FBI is Just Like Talking About Defunding the Police

Except that the FBI is a rogue agency which is acting as the Armed Paramilitary of the Democrat Party.

And also: "Defund the FBI" is a parody of the left's "Defund the Police." But the actual suggestions for destroying the FBI involve breaking it up into a bunch of smaller, less powerful component organizations -- the crime lab, the crime statistics lab, etc. -- and devolving some of its functions to other agencies and local police forces.

Liz Wheeler offers a similar take on abolishing the FBI.

It's time to abolish the FBI. The raid on Mar-a-Lago revealed the agency to be a political hostaet man for the Left disguised as law enforcement. People have rightly lost their trust that it will operate as a neutral enforcer of law. Now, half the country is looking over its shoulder wondering whether a "Don't Tread on Me" flag will bring federal agents to their door in pre-dawn hours.

Farm out the vital functions of the FBI and raze the rest. RIP to the FBI, an organization that died the way it was founded in the J. Edgar Hoover era--as a political tool for the elite and powerful, weaponized to spy on their enemies.

People are not insane. They acknowledge that some of the functions of the FBI are worth doing.

We just no longer trust anyone in the FBI to do them, nor do we trust anyone in the FBI to reform themselves. They have already been ordered by an IG to undertake reforms, and have apparently refused to do so.

So the agency must be abolished, and made into smaller ones, each with less political power, and, crucially, each employee must be made to re-apply for his old job.

With Maximum Vetting.

Meanwhile, this very reasonable, very judicious agency which is totally not just a bunch of Smug Twitter Liberals with Guns is putting out the most hairy-scary panic messaging to get the public to support them:

Via Twitchy, the Washington Times reports on the FBI's New and Improved Russiagate Fearporn offerings:

The FBI is warning of calls for civil war and a dirty bomb threat against its D.C. headquarters following its raid on former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
In a leaked bulletin, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security said they have seen an increase in "violent threats" against law enforcement, government officials and judges in the week since the agents executed the search warrant at Mr. Trump's residence.
The bulletin warned of talk to place a dirty bomb in front of FBI headquarters and "general calls" for a civil war and armed rebellion. Investigators also are monitoring threats against the federal judge who approved the warrant to search Mr. Trump's residence.

Linking this article -- and the FBI's efforts to cast itself as the poor put-upon victim while attacking its political enemies as "terrorists" and "DVEs" for posting the Molly Ross flag -- Kyle Shideler observes:

Kyle Shideler
@ShidelerK
Nor is it insignificant they do so w/ patented left-wing Cry-bullying. That the bureau founded by J. Edgar Hoover to hunt down anarchists & communists turned into a Federal Bureau of Taylor Lorenzes manages to be terrifying & embarrassing all at once.

Note that the FBI refused to arrest people intimidating Supreme Court Justices in direct violation of federal law.

But they want you to know that they're a-scared by your free speech and so you should stop speaking freely.

Ruth Sent Us, on the other hand? Their free speech is sacrosanct. Even when it literally violates federal law.

Ben Weingartner discusses the War on Wrongthink at The Federalist.

[P]erhaps most insidious will be the effort by the regime, already begun, to cast itself as the victim of the raid rather than the aggressor, and to use its victimhood status to persecute its political opponents ever more viciously.
Since even before Jan. 6, the regime has been pushing the narrative that Trump poses a unique danger to "our democracy," not only as a political figure but in effect as the leader of a domestic terrorist army, and that those who support his agenda are inciting terror.
Hence the pronounced effort in the immediate aftermath of the raid to focus on how it unleashed a reported torrent of threatening rhetoric on social media. None other than Daniel J. Jones, the former Sen. Dianne Feinstein staffer who played a central role in the Russiagate and post-Russiagate information efforts, was the key source of corporate media outlets in analyzing this rhetoric.
...
The regime has cleverly cast its critics as posing the most lethal to the homeland by intentionally conflating their dissenting views with "racial or ethnic animus" and/or "anti-government or anti-authority" sentiments. So it will use the furor over the Mar-a-Lago raid to further pursue them under a National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism explicitly aimed at them.

Antifa and BLM are obviously "anti-government" as well, but the FBI supports their speech, and refuses to classify they as "domestic violent extremists."

Because they support antifa and BLM using violence to push the country to the political left.

...

At a minimum, we can expect a bevy of threat assessments from the national security apparatus, aided by a hysterical media, identifying grave and imminent threats to the homeland as emanating from those who criticize said apparatus, and would dare call to defund if not abolish/reorganize its various elements.
The regime has shown it will do what it can with whatever it has to demonize and hunt down opponents of its agenda in service of its power and privilege -- not "democracy."
Time will tell whether Americans know what time it is and choose to replace it. Either way, the costs will be significant.

And so of course Mike Pence -- supposedly a "religious" man, but one who gutted the religious freedom laws in his own state in order to please the left, the gay lobby, and his corporate allies (he's religious in the sheets, but not in the streets) -- comes riding to the FBI's rescue.

Dave Reaboi calls Pence a "BoomerCon."

I know that some have a problem with the word "Boomer" used as a slur. Apologies for that. I think it can be useful for describing a "it's perpetually 2003 and I don't know What Time It Is" mindset, but I do understand the objections to it. Even though it's used to describe people regardless of actual age, yeah, I understand, if you actually are a Boomer, even if not a "Boomer" in the insult sense, it's going to feel like a slight.

Almost all NeverTrumpers are "BoomerCons," even though many are pretty young. They just... they really just think they're rah-rahing for George Bush's re-election.

David Reaboi, Late Republic Nonsense
@davereaboi
There's a massive--but, thankfully, shrinking--BoomerCon segment of the GOP that's so braindead with sentimental, heart-thumping reverence for the Heroic G-Man, they refuse to do the slightest thing that would hold the FBI accountable for its crimes.

Pence: "Calls to defund the FBI are just as wrong as calls to defund the police."

This mentality -- that there is nothing more to be done in the conservative project but some minor tinkering -- is central to neocon thinking, because the neocons were very happy with a "conservative" party that accepted all the key assumptions and claims of the leftwing Democrat Party.

Actual conservatives do not accept these key premises, but rather dispute them completely, and therefore see the need not for minor tinkering but for major changes and huge overhauls of how the government operates.

Connoisseur of Cruelty Victor David Hanson disagrees with Pence:

Victor Hanson: 'We Don't Have Rule of Law in Washington ... FBI is Beyond Redemption' - When asked about the FBI raid on former President Donald Trump's home in Palm Beach, Fla., professor, author, and political commentator Victor David Hanson said, "right now, we don't have the rule of law in Washington," and added that, "The FBI is beyond redemption."
...
Cain asked Hanson why the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago and why were they targeting Trump.
"Well, they're afraid in the short term," he said, in reference to the Democrats and the left, "but in the long term they believe they're morally superior to America, and therefore any means necessary or justifiable for their morally superior ends."
"And right now, we don't have the rule of law in Washington," said Hanson. "Whether you're targeted or exempt depends on your ideology."
...
He continued, "So in the past when there was a dispute over the Archives or presidential papers, Barack Obama just said, 'I'm not going to turn them over to the Freedom of Information. He spent $30 million resisting efforts to do that. George Bush had an Executive Order and said, 'You know what, I'm not going to do this.' And that was adjudicated."
"Now we go after a president and go to his house with 30 agents," said Hanson. "In the past, when a high official was called for a congressional subpoena, Eric Holder just said, 'I'm not going and I'm not turning over any of this fast and furious.'"
"The idea that you would put him in shackles or you confront him with his family and grab his phone is just ridiculous," said Hanson. "But this is what we're doing on an ideological basis."
"And when you start to do that, you don't have a democracy anymore," he added. "And I don't think we do."
Hanson went on to criticize the Jan. 6 committee, comparing it to the authoritarian committees of the French Revolution headed by Robespierre.
"To be on that Committee, you have to have one criteria and you have to vote to impeach Donald Trump," said Hanson. "If you're a Republican there was one other qualification, you had to be politically inert with no future and it was deductive."
"It started with the premise that we're going to destroy Donald Trump and then we're going to bring in witnesses and we're going to allow narratives for that end," he added. "There is going to be no cross examination."
As for the FBI, Hanson remarked, "I never thought I would say this: The FBI is beyond redemption.
It is -- all of its bureaus and its institutions that have to be farmed out and broken up. If you have a warrant, an FBI warrant, there is no guarantee that that has not been altered. If you subpoena and you want FBI records on phones ... they will be wiped clean."
"We just saw [FBI Director] Christopher Wray and he just stonewalled every question and then he flew on an FBI plane, our plane, a luxury jet because he had to go to his own vacation spot. He took over, remember, from Andrew McCabe -- what did he do? He lied four times to federal investigators, and his wife was running for an office with Clinton-related PAC money while he was investigating Hillary Clinton's e-mail scandal."
"[McCabe] took over from James Comey who leaked confidential memos written on FBI devices to the media," added Hanson, "and then when he was called before Congress, on 245 occasions, he said, he didn't know or didn't remember."
"All of this is destroying this country," said Hanson. "And it comes from the people who warned us democracy dies in darkness, and they have descended upon us, the greatest cloud of autocracy and illiberality in the history of this Republic. ... [L]et's pray to God the Republicans can save us."

And never forget the FBI's greatest triumph: Burying the Clinton Email Scandal.

Pence is dunderheaded tool.

Calls to "defund the police" were premised on the lie the cops were gunning down unarmed black men at epidemic rates. That lie has been debunked.

Calls to "defund the FBI" are premised on real, proven, and continued abuse by those within the FBI against ideological opponents of the left - while they ignore easy child abuse cases, while everyone on the left gets a pass for any of the same offenses, drug and firearm offenses, trafficking offenses, and while generally acting like a domestic terror organization akin to the left's Stazi.

Posted by: Chuck C at August 17, 2022 04:57 PM (xttsV)

81 VDH is exactly right. I think even after Hillary a lot of people said, OK if that's the standard I suppose we'll live with it". Then they proceed in demolishing that standard because the party affiliation changed. That is absolutely corrupt, and there is no other way to see it. The minute you've applied the law differently to people is the minute you lost credibility by your own actions. Why would you as a taxpayer fund alleged law enforcement agency that behaves contrary to the law? Unfortunately there are a lot of people in Washington who think like Pence. It's why you don't see an actual legislative agenda item to disperse the FBI into component pieces. It's also why Wray treats Congress like a bunch of peasants. He knows they're all cowards.

128 Mike Pence: Talking About Defunding the FBI is Just Like Talking About Defunding the Police

And here's where Mike Pence is about twenty years behind. But he's useful. He's a living, walking, talking example of why Old Paradigms die hard.

Wasn't that long ago that a Minnesota Cop shot a housewife, from within his patrol car, while aiming past his partner in the drivers seat. Do you think that particular cop should be de-funded ?

I do. And what about the video, that was shown on this blog a few years ago, of Maryland cops caught on body-camera planting evidence by pitching syringes on a crime scene ? Should they be de-funded ?

I think so. I think a whole shit-pot of police should be de-funded. De-fund their MRAPs while we're at it. De-fund whatever fund it is that pays for no-knock raids.

De-fund whatever it is that still makes some people insist "whatever it takes for that officer to make it home at night". How about he just stay home at night ? Play with the kids. Service the wife. Stop being a 24/7 solution looking for a problem.

well, two critical functions are the VICAP thing that has all violent offenders' fingerprints and DNA on a database. Obviously that is huge. A lot of crimes are just solved by entering some information into the computer.

There's also the national crime statistics lab which doesn't solve crimes directly but which is important for trends and that kind of thing.

I know the crime labs have had a lot of scandals BUT they're important... if they are run cleanly. They do a lot of work for local jurisdictions that don't have labs.

I think there can be an argument that a central clearing house of cases is needed to allow identification of cross-state-line crime, for facilitating RICO claims, out of state flight from arrest and to standardize police training in federal law.
I suspect everything else can be handled through other agencies and through the the Marshals.

171 I don’t mind “Boomer” as a pejorative.

----------

I rail against the Boomers quite a bit. There are many a good Boomer. The problem is they are a rather large, influential and wealthy voting block who came of age under a political coalition that no longer exists and no longer works. I understand in their golden years, they wish to preserve their wealth and not take part in a political reconstruction. They have faith in a government that no longer exists. It is hard to shake 60 years of conditioning. But a disruption that has been building is coming regardless. The sooner they lose influence, the sooner we can get on with it.

Sure. Could that have been handled by a local police agency? Yes. Could it have been handled by the US Marshals or Secret Service? Also, yes.

We already had a couple of federal police agencies (in my opinion, two too many) before them. They have always been goons. An answer in search of a question. And they need to be gone.

199 "Because they support antifa and BLM using violence to push the country to the political left."

People overlook this aspect: Antifa and BLM are STATE-SPONSORED TERROR, no different in any appreciable way within our borders than the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. A good argument can be made the FBI itself has become not just a state sponsor of terror but a domestic terrorist organization. This is particularly true after their criminal behavior in the Whitmer kidfaking.

As for Pence, I will reup what I posted previously. Womanizing Trump did more to secure religious liberty and did not back down from that in four years than Pence did in a lifetime of Cuckservative Christian Conservatism posturing in office and on the radio, and the one time he did anything of substance he melted down under pressure and immediately made the situation worse for religious people. Religious people know this.

Until enough people have enough authority and control enough purse strings, the FBI and the BoomerCons who support it will continue to be a domestic menace perfectly capable of mass murder. They have a history already.

My question is this - If they have a nation wide roundup, that must mean it is a nation wide network. But it never is, it is a bunch of small cases that they move on all at once to make it look big and important. Usually just parental disputes having nothing to do with trafficking.

Further, if they are not connected, then why wait and do it all at once? Why is no one in media or oversight committees asking these questions.

Fabricating fiber and bite mark evidence got so out of hand a federal judge or two made them stop. There were no punishments meted out.

Given the craven nature of the national Republican Party, it is best to encourage governors and local officials simply to order local law enforcement not to cooperate with the FBI in any appreciable manner. Given the FBI, in addition to rampant corruption and political meddling, also is incompetent, that's a pretty easy thing to do anyhow.

Most of that came from Army intel anyway.

Which also highlights another question: just why in the fuck was any federal police agency formed in the first place?

The US government has an Army, after all. Every State has a National Guard. If a given State's crime problem wildly exceeds the grasp of its own executive enforcement arms, it has Constitutionally sanctioned forces it can call upon to reassert lawful order.

But at times he seemed loyal to Trump, even though I always questioned it, right here on these pages. Then again I'm pretty skeptical of every one of these political jerks.

I rail against the Boomers quite a bit. There are many a good Boomer. The problem is they are a rather large, influential and wealthy voting block who came of age under a political coalition that no longer exists and no longer works. I understand in their golden years, they wish to preserve their wealth and not take part in a political reconstruction. They have faith in a government that no longer exists. It is hard to shake 60 years of conditioning. But a disruption that has been building is coming regardless. The sooner they lose influence, the sooner we can get on with it.

323 The division is unnecessary and unhelpful. This will be an all-hands effort.

--------------

I don't think it a division to note that most of the wealth of this country is in the hands of the Boomer generation, and they would like to preserve their wealth. I probably would too. It is also obvious to state that they grew up during a political coalition that made them wealth but is no longer tenable. It is my belief that the only thing holding that coalition together is the Boomer generation. Which has some positives, but it also delays the inevitable. A resorting will occur. I am optimistic that it will be a positive one.

400 Yes, they did. And kudos to them. But the conditions in America that existed at the time that allowed them to build such wealth no longer exists. This is not to say that America is still not the land of opportunity. But there are far more restrictions now.

This is absolute truth. I watched it happen with my own eyes. A simple analog:

In high school we could drive out to the lake and party all night without any problems.

A couple years later they banned alcohol and later stepped up patrols.

A year later they put up gates and had a curfew

A few years later they just closed down permanently a number of remote parks that were enjoyed.

Not long after they harassed people for floating in rafts out in the lake.

416 It isn't an "email" scandal. It's a known massive systematic years-long deliberate violation of the Espionage Act, assessed to have led to damage (foreign exploitation), by a statutory member of the National Security Council and her entire senior staff structure.

And it's typical mediocre performance (referring to Doc Zero post below) to not address the central issues and facts of a situation (fact: nothing about Trump or his administration was the least bit "authoritarian", in any way, obviously, and period), but to deflect with some comparison ("not compared to" the Biden idiots). It isn't just pathetic dim public figures, mostly "conservative" or GOP, who don't appear to know how to think or to communicate persuasively, how to focus on false premises and frameworks, it seems widespread now.

Again, more paradigms shit-canned. Work hard, stay loyal, and good things will happen ? Horse. Shit.

I lived through watching all these supposedly made men, the Blue Collar Aristocracy, get their cheap watch and bounced out on their collective asses.

These are federal crimes, and will be investigated far from the Bright Lights and Big City. Stop all recruitment for the FBI and in 20-25 years it is EXTINCT.

In the interim, it is a visible ongoing reminder that NO Bureaucracy is Permanent.

All my generation did was pass wealth, via certificates that had no intrinsic value, to Boomers and Silents that were in the market first. No wonder those in charge encouraged us to do so.

But, yeah, Boomers pushed an economy to prosperity. It wasn't prosperous already, and they just reaped it. They made it. You betcha'.

Its a lot more than that now. The Boomers were the first to trade in the traditional family for the dual income paradigm.

I would blame no-fault divorce and the dissolution of the church as a primary centerpiece of society. We built fences and alleys to separate us and locked ourselves into our airconditioned homes rather than assemble on the porch or at the community center.

So successive generations are socially fucked-up, godless and basically feral in comparison to what the Silent Generation provided. OTOH, it was the industriousness of the dual-income Boomer family that made so much wealth that their kids could afford to be assholes and slackers.

Its not so simple as greedy folks not choosing to be a single car, single income household anymore. There are a million different social pressures to make sure you drag your ass along and conform.

If you bought the Nasdaq in early 2000, you weren't above water again until 2015. That affected a lot of Gen X.

If you've been investing 10% every year for any length of time you're way ahead.

We gen X and boomers even gave you the global financial crisis: a golden opportunity to buy in at 50% discount, just as Millennials were joining the workforce

People who generate IP made good money on their inventions. Apple, Google and the other megaliths stole these ideas figuring that lawyers were cheaper than royalties. Trump changed that, but this current crop of filth has restored the theft.

If you are listing all those things as an impediment to you building wealth, then I guarantee you won't build any wealth. But not because of those things you listed.

Those are impediments unless you are connected, then they aren't. There is a huge reason why people go to Ivy League colleges - it ain't the education, its the network. Creating Generational Wealth is a whole lot different nowadays than before.

Make the FBI REGIONAL Oriented. 8 or 12 regions, each with their own director, own organization. No Powerful FBI Chief. Additionally make it so the Washington DC region has no permanent anything. It should be a region staffed by and supervised by the heads of the other regions on a rotating basis. A rotating committee of say five regional FBI Chiefs supervise the DC Region, each with a two year term, then gone for many years.

Every four years the entire staffs of the regional offices compete in a "death match decimation" during which they engage in hand to hand combat to the death until 10% of their numbers are killed off. That will keep staffs lean and mean and eliminate the deadwood.
