In reply to the discussion: FBI Entrapment Created 'Illusion' of Terrorist Plots: Report [View all]Octafish
(55,745 posts)20. Trained by Hoover
Things have descended so far that all they give two-cents about are shining up to the wealthy. In office, they use their official positions to protect the interests of the wealthy. Out of office, they use their official record to cash in their chits in a job.
Remember Carol Lam? She connected the rotting dots from the Military Industrial Complex straight though Congress and on down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Bush White House. Instead of following the trail, she got the ziggy from her government job as a US Attorney for Southern District of California. Thankfully, by some strange circumstance, she did find employment at a mill per.
As for Hoover, what a rotter:
* DICK GREGORY: In 1968, the activist/comedian publicly denounced the Mafia for importing heroin into the inner city. Did the FBI welcome the anti-drug, anti-mob message? No. Head G-man J. Edgar Hoover responded by proposing that the Bureau try to provoke the mob to retaliate against Gregory as part of an FBI "counter intelligence operation" to "neutralize" the comedian. Hoover wrote: "Alert La Cosa Nostra (LCN) to Gregory's attack on LCN."

The fact Hoover never heard of the Mafia was no coincidence. Neither was his disinvestigation of the assassination of President Kennedy.

Ironic. While very conservative, the FBI Agent Donald Adams was quite a compelling person.

And apparently a jury of 12 people didn't agree with Glenn Greenwald, who is one.

I wouldn't. But this guy did considerably more than that. And I have to believe you grasp that fact.
