Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Following FBI's Political Raid On James O'Keefe, Contents Of His Privileged Communications With Lawyers Are Leaked to New York TimesAnd this was leaked to them by the FBI, after an illegal, political raid. And these raids are all about Joe Biden directing the FBI to harass anyone who had contact with... his druggie self-confessed nymphomaniac daughter's lost diary! Something the federal law enforcement agencies have absolutely no jurisdiction over! This. Is. Not. America. Not anymore. This is straight-up fascism. This cannot go on much longer. And what cannot go on, will not. A court has ordered the FBI to stop extracting data from James O'Keefe's phones. Perhaps some judges and government officials are not yet part of the fascist takeover of what was once America. Here's the NYT, "talking its book," prepping the jury pool with the gift it got from its buddies at the Democrat Armed Enforcement Squad at the DOJ:
Sean Davis Will Chamberlain I went to follow Drew Hernandez -- the videographer and commentator who appeared at the trial yesterday as a surprise (?) witness -- and I found, happily, that I was already following him. Here's his advice: Drew HernandezExcellent advice. Though I'm pretty sure I can predict the entire list. And they're not conservative. They're Conservative, Inc., and they're liberal grifters. I think he might be talking about fed plants, though. Defund the FBI. Disband it. Start a new agency.

So let me get this right.
The FBI conspires with the NYT to create a pretext for a raid. Yes, conspires. Someone please prove to me contact was not made in advance. The FBI raids a journalists home using the fig leaf of this pretext to steal, read and distribute privileged and confidential legal materials, protected by law, btw. The FBI immediately provides that material to an organization that has a specific legal interest in a proceeding, and unveils the oppositions legal strategy for that action. Now I know what Germany felt like in the late 1930's. Maybe East Germany after the war. Posted by: Marcus T at November 12, 2021 12:37 PM (VpIIl) 37

We're looking at this wrong. The FBI did not become corrupt, incompetent, feral, political hatchet-men. They always were corrupt, incompetent, feral political hatchet-men. Hoover built the agency around that paradigm. Nothing has changed. The FBI enjoyed some rosy propaganda in the 70s and 80s mostly due to FBI and law enforcement TV shows and movies.

This PV item is just the latest "in your face" brazen flouting of all known rules/laws/ethical boundaries. And just like IRS scandal, the Russia! Russia! Russia! hoax scandal, the scandal about the legal treatment of BLM Antifa vs. Jan 6 demonstrators, just to name a few, this PV scandal is going to lead to nothing, at least on the criminal side. Maybe PV can make a giant civil suit out of this, in the right state court, but it's truly terrifying that there is no help coming at the criminal/government level. The GOP is, and has for years now, been completely AWOL on the complete politicization of the federal government. It's so bad, the FBI and NYTs here, are violating every norm right in our faces and laughing about it, and they're right to do so. NO ONE has been punished in the Fed Gov for any of the scandals, and in fact the bad actors have prospered.

Biden sent them there, because Biden or Jill demanded it.
No I get that, but the FBI/DOJ will never admit that, what I'm looking for is what could possibly be the criminal hook that would cause the federal LE apparatus to initiate an investigation for something that hasn't, to my knowledge, even been admitted to being stolen or even the legitimate property of Ashley Biden.

It feels like a celebration of power and nothing else. It's two power centers fighting over something that ultimately doesn't seem to matter. In fact, Ness was on the wrong side of freedom.
If the movie set him up as going after Capone because Capone was violent, that would be one thing. But it's explicitly because of the booze. Posted by: TheJamesMadison, the hero Gotham deserves at November 12, 2021 12:49 PM (LvTSG) The movie explicitly sets up Capone as a murderer, worse, a killer of children. Ness, however, is a Treasury agent. He can't go after Capon for homicide, that's a state-level crime. He IS committed to 'getting' Capone but he has to use the tools he has. He goes after his booze operation, because it hurts him. ""He"" goes after his tax returns, despite the irony of prosecuting a murderer for not paying his taxes, which he also states in the movie.

This is all just so utterly soul crushing. The realization that, as Ace succinctly put it, this is not America any longer. This feral federal gov't is a garbage Marxist takeover and they are not just getting there...they are there. The transformation is complete.
What remains is how do we go forward. Where have all the voices been, other than conservative media, that things are very, very wrong? This dates back, in earnest, to Obama's coordination with all branches of this monstrous fed behemoth in targeting Donald Trump.

The FBI launched a political raid on Project Veritas' offices, and the personal homes of James O'Keefe and his reporters -- with battering rams at the ready -- and then not only seized his private, confidential, protected communications with counsel, but then immediately leaked them to the corporation they are politically allied with whom James O'Keefe is suing.
++++ This is a notable escalation. They did this before with Trump, when they raided Cohen and stole confidential privileged information and then doled it out to the press. The key difference, though, is the level of import of the person. Trump was a legit big shot. He was the biggest of big shots. O'Keefe ain't nobody, but he's at nothing like the same level. They're moving these tactics down-market, and that's important. They'll use it against you, too. If they haven't already. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at November 12, 2021 12:55 PM (DU+/6) 211

A couple of things I need to get off my chest while on Day 6 of my "mandatory" 10 day WuFlu quarantine period (and yes, I was fully "vaccinated" with the non-vaccine mRNA potion concocted by Pfizer in late May).....
A Rand Paul-esque conservative could make eliminating the FBI a central plank of their campaign and win in many congressional districts across the country. This needs to happen. It would be a galvanizing issue and put even more distance between actual conservatives and weasels with a R on their lapel. When Kyle Rittenhouse is acquitted, he IMMEDIATELY needs to sue the fuck currently soiling the WH for an ungodly sum of money. Of course, FJB won't be the only target of this suit, as too many Marxists to name also libel/slandered him as a white supremacist. 2022 is the year to primary RINOS and REFUSE to vote for them in the general if the filth survives their respective primary challenge.

Trump complying with idiotic, destructive, lawless rogue "courts" usurping his plenary national security authority on admission to the country = authoritarian!
The collapsed garbage institutions violating central laws and protections to harass Trump and any other important political opponents = crickets And recall - this has been going on for years. Remember the violation of client privilege WRT Trump and his pathetic former lawyer, Cohen. Also me with a resounding, thunderous silence. If you can effectively attack harass and ruin an incoming national security advisor with a spotless record who's done nothing wrong, based on literally nothing (to include not being able to "find" the notes on which the whole laughable farce is "based") - with impunity - worse, with the histrionic lawless outrageous connivance of a "court" - you're not in the America of the previous entire history any longer.

Defund the FBI.
Disband it. Start a new agency. ++++ This doesn't go nearly too far enough. FBI? Feh. All of them. Every single federal LE and intelligence agency. All of them. Burn them to the ground and salt the earth behind them. Make four new agencies: federal interstate law enforcement, domestic intelligence, foreign intelligence, and independent internal affairs for all three. Foreign intelligence has the longest leash, followed by domestic intelligence, followed by law enforcement. The IA agency must not be staffed with anyone who has worked in any of the three agencies they regulate in the past ten years. At least 1/3 of the the IA division must be staffed from state or local governments. At least half of the IA division must be staffed from the private sector. The maximum tenure at IA is seven years.

Little known fact about Ness: He later became the police commissioner ("Public Safety Officer," I think) in Cleveland at the time of the serial killer case the Torso Murderer. The guy was never caught as far as I know. Ness's cops did everything they could do in 1948 or whatever, without today's forensics and databases. (Which just makes the story more interesting to me.)

210 The FBI launched a political raid on Project Veritas' offices, and the personal homes of James O'Keefe and his reporters -- with battering rams at the ready -- and then not only seized his private, confidential, protected communications with counsel, but then immediately leaked them to the corporation they are politically allied with whom James O'Keefe is suing.
++++ This is a notable escalation. They did this before with Trump, when they raided Cohen and stole confidential privileged information and then doled it out to the press. The key difference, though, is the level of import of the person. Trump was a legit big shot. He was the biggest of big shots. O'Keefe ain't nobody, but he's at nothing like the same level. They're moving these tactics down-market, and that's important. They'll use it against you, too. If they haven't already.

Keep it together, and assign it new duties. I suggest they be assigned finding the 5,000 Native American and Eskimo Women and Children that disappear every year. It is work that should be done. And it will keep the damned FBI FAR from Washington DC. Move their HQ to some Indian Reservation in Texas or California. You want to keep the FBI together.

263 ugh they never caught the torso killer? I guess that's why I don't know his name, huh?
Reading around this period, I took note of a killer, I think maybe connected to the Kansas City mob, who was BOTH a mob hitman AND a serial killer. I mean, all hitmen can be said to be "serial killers" in a way, but I mean he was also a ritual pleasure killer in addition to his work as pro killer. It's weird, I always thought those would not go together for some reason, but really, they should go together more often. As trivia, Red Grant in From Russia With Love was a combination serial killer and paid hitman. Posted by: ace at November 12, 2021 01:03 PM (0G13K I kind of wonder how many uncaught serial killers are actually caught. Or like an unsolved murder. It's just that the guy that did it is already in jail because he was caught doing something else or for the murder of someone else. You know if has certainly happened.

A Thirties Ellery Queen novel starts sort of like that. A rich man's will disappears after his funeral. Ellery deduces that the will must have been stashed in the coffin of the deceased. They dig him up and find an *extra* body, a stranger, stuffed in there with the regulation corpse -- but no will. Thus begins the most complex plot the EQ cousins ever devised: The Greek Coffin Mystery.

291 Rex Stout was one of the first, at least in fiction, to show the FBI as *not* incorruptible or perfect in his '65 Nero Wolfe novel, The Doorbell Rang. He'd been on Hoover's hit list since WWII, possibly because he was not an ultra-righty by Hoover's standards. The novel really put a target on his back. But Stout kept on living, and publishing good stuff, for another 9 years.
Posted by: Diana Ross at November 12, 2021 12:57 PM (txdEq) Stout also gave visibility to a FBI whistleblower's book 'The FBI nobody knows', which I bought and read.

Took away people's ability to assemble (parks, church, shopping, sports games, weddings, funerals), gave a little back but with the qualification of forced mask-wearing and "social-distancing", but now back to not only denying activities back on "vaccination" status, but forcing people out of their jobs due to "vaccination" status.

I feel bad for his family but you can't help but sense the justice of God at work here. The Left is all about separating the sinner from the short and medium term consequences of his sin They have a basic problem with their intention and that's with guilt. People know when they do wrong. Psychopaths and serial killers when interviewed admit that they know what they are doing is wrong but don't care. That feeling of guilt and wrongness before God is not societal pressure or people being mean. Its internal, and you cannot escape that by redefining words, passing laws, and demonizing normal people.

Which makes you think. We've been going through the same type of Karen-pushed prohibition all throughout the Plandemic and yet... no violence.
The violence during prohibition didn't take place because people were outraged at having their liberty restricted. Nearly everyone went along with it or secretly drank, they didn't rise up with torches and nooses. The violence came about because there was tremendous money to be made providing illegal booze, and competition became deadly. Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at November 12, 2021 01:37 PM (KZzsI) 480

I've said this before but I'm digging this inflation. My cost to buy "stuff" is more than made up by the increase in the value of my assets. Since Biden took over stocks are up around 20%, real estate (for me as this is all local) is up at least 20% as well, maybe more. I own a lot of stocks and real estate. So yeah I'll happily pay 40 cents more for gas and $2 for a hamburger, if my assets grow 20%.
