Is the FBI so politicized that they are unreliable?

 Trumpieboy is pushing the stolen election stuff all over, and some polls suggest that this exaggeration is starting to be believed.

But drip by drip, information is leaking out that the federal government DID interfered on many levels against Trumpieboy: as shown in the Durham investigation.

MSNews

After 4-year probe, Durham report slams FBI for actions in 2016 Russia investigation

but don't worry. No one will be punished for this. 

Durham's final report examining the origins of the Russia investigation brings to a close a four-year probe that failed to produce any major convictions despite the expectations pushed by Trump and his allies.

Heh. Sounds like the Philippines, where politicians never quite get convicted of suspected crimes.

So what did the FBI do wrong? 

,,,"In particular, there was significant reliance on investigative leads provided or funded (directly or indirectly) by Trump's political opponents. The Department did not adequately examine or question these materials and the motivations of those providing them before opening a full-scale investigation."

 cops (and doctors) get a lot of fake information and you have to probe deeper to find the truth. But here, what happened was a failure to question if the information was true, and the investigation was full of inaccurate and illegal leaks to the press to blacken Trumpieboy's name.

Heck it was Trump. Everyone knows he is a lying manipulative SOB ("you're fired") who nevertheless gets things done...I am sure they could find stuff on him (or maybe not: he has good lawyers)... the real question is why did they rely on leaks that were unbelievable? 

But add to this the news about how the federal government controlled social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, whose rich owners donated to the Democrats only, and who allowed their apps to be manipulated to push their favorite candidate...and you have a major problem for ordinary folk who just to elect someone who can run things, and who rely on institutions to be honest.

One does expect lies and manipulation in politics. 

But as a doctor, I am horrified at how the social media (and the medical establishment) censored information on Covid (and individual doctors, not just nut cases but people who had credentials who should not have been censored). 

Science is a process, not a religion that cannot be questions... and now as a result of that manipulation we see a collapse of trust in the medical profession, big Pharm, and vaccines.

The Tuskegee experiment led to the Black community distrusting the medical establishment for 80 years.

The fallout from the Dengue vaccine fraud led to a lot of children here in the Philippines dying of preventable diseases because they didn't get their routine baby shots. and you see the problem. 

Well, now you have a worldwide distrust of covid vaccines that will spill over into distrust of vaccines for measles, polio, tetanus, diphtheria, etc that can cause thousands of deaths. 

But hey, don't listen to me. Yes, I am a registered Democrat, but I am also a middle aged Catholic lady who is prolife, and the Feds have decided we need to be listed as possible terrorist.

It's not just the radical trads who are upset at this: So are the Jesuits.

From the (Jesuit magazine) America:


Two former agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation who went on to hold leadership roles in the church say a recently revealed and subsequently retracted memo characterizing Catholics with a devotion to the Traditional Latin Mass as possible domestic threats is a troubling example of the law enforcement agency not following its own guidelines.
“It’s one thing if a journalist writes this in an opinion piece,” Kathleen McChesney, a former head of F.B.I. field offices in Chicago and Portland, told America. “It’s another thing when it’s in a government document.” Ms. McChesney, who previously held the third-highest role in the F.B.I., described the memo as “a terrible analytical document” and “antithetical to F.B.I. professional practices and guidelines.”

Of course, Catholics can be so called terrorists: during the VietNam war, I attended a small religious meeting that was also attended by one of the Harrisburg 7, who had peacefully vandalized an office and destroyed draft records.

And no, I am not worried that the FBI will send someone to our rural Philippine town to arrest me for posting bad stuff. 

However, Someone reported me to blogger, who is now watching my blog and told me I have at least 7 blogposts, many over 10 years old, that don't pass the test for political correctness. 

No, blogger, that acronym means Moro Islamic Liberation Front, not Mothers ILF....
