31. This FBI is looking more and more like the Republican FBI under Hoover.

Thu Mar 2, 2023, 12:18 PM

Mar 2023

Hoover was a white supremacist and saw every black leader as a criminal. Had the same type of intelligence preceding January 6 been focused on a group like BLM, the FBI would have been all over it. Instead, they dismissed the real threat from white insurrectionists.

I suspect that some in the FBI wanted the coup to succeed so Trump could be appointed president. Their loyalty is obviously to him, not to the rule of law. That some senior agents wanted to tank the documents investigation in light of clear evidence that Trump had top-secret documents with information he was likely selling to our enemies is reason enough to fire them.
