"They" still spew lies about the Steele dossier. Never let the truth get in the way of your propaganda.

... On November 12th, AG Bondi, Blanche & Patel (The same three who were at Trump’s October 15th press conference, above.) met with Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert in the White House situation room to persuade her to remove her name from a discharge petition pending in the House. (Trump had previously called Boebert and asked her to remove her name from the petition.) The petition requires a vote of the House calling for the release of all the DOJ Jeffrey Epstein files. Prior to becoming FBI director, Patel had, in the interest of justice, vociferously called for the release of the files. He now apparently advocates for the interest of Trump rather than justice.

It seems clear that Kash Patel was never qualified to be director of the FBI. In what little investigative work he has been involved in, he has not followed the facts and the law but rather has tried to meld the facts to reach a preconceived conclusion. It is an insurmountable conflict when as director of the FBI, you take an oath to “support and defend the Constitution,” if your true fealty is to the president. You can’t be both the king’s wizard and a director who swore to follow the rule of law.

If I were an FBI agent today, I would be fired. Being an FBI agent was a childhood aspiration for me, and it turned out to be as rewarding as I had hoped it would be. I was allowed to do my job, to follow the facts and the law without fear or favor. Bottom line, I put bad guys in jail.

Justice was the goal, not the president’s
DEagenda.

Your Retired FBI neighbor is confirming what many of us already know.



The article is very interesting to read first hand from a FBI former agent.
