They would then need to be overthrown and locked up too.

with T at their grad ceremony the other day as he derided all the fake news reporters in the back

Most cops are not in favor of much more than public order

Makes their jobs much safer/easier

Don’t see that changing for the better

that suffers a loss.

But they did not show the graduates at the ceremony. So really don't know if they all clapped or it may have begun after one of Trump's stooges got it going.

about how it wasn’t the fbi guys there (quantico) who were clapping, but the new recruits and family

That’s what they were discussing

if that is the types of recruits being added to the FBI. It could eventually eat away at the insides of the FBI.

from Quantico training

That said, FBI has always been a bastion of repressive and reactionary policies

They have never been a friend of “the people”

Not many libs in the rank and file

That was the core of the anti Hillary group working with Giuliani to screw her last year

Funny how that gets zero coverage today, yes?
