The Washington Post claims to have a major scoop, but as usual, the scoop inside the scoop requires reading between the lines of its lies.
The Washington Post found that senior Justice Department and FBI officials rejected or rebuffed early proposals to investigate actions taken by President Donald Trump and his close allies leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol… As a result, more than a year passed before federal prosecutors and FBI agents embarked on a formal investigation into nonviolent efforts within Trump’s orbit to steal the 2020 election.
What was causing the holdup?
The decision to charge militia members who were at the Capitol with seditious conspiracy — a step prosecutors thought could pressure them to implicate architects of the attack — was slowed as the Biden Justice Department waited months for Senate confirmation of senior leaders.
The Biden DOJ needed more political operatives on board to further weaponize the Justice Department and the FBI against its political opponents.
The FBI’s Washington Field Office twice in 2021 rebuffed federal prosecutors’ requests for agents — in February for the probe of whether Trump associates were linked to the riot, and then in November to investigate how Trump associates tried to overturn the election results.
The relevant question is how many of those Federal prosecutors were Biden or Obama appointees?
Key Justice Department officials ultimately pivoted after concluding they had sufficient evidence and that prosecuting rioters provided no clear path to examining the nonviolent efforts by the former president and his allies.
So the objective all along was to go after Trump. It was never about anything except hitting the political opposition and Biden’s likely 2024 opponent.
The Biden DOJ and its allies spent years pushing the FBI to go along with it.
The FBI did not join that probe until April 2022.
The FBI obviously needs a lot of housecleaning, but the key point to remember is that the ground zero of the weaponization has always been in the Department of Justice where political appointees have profoundly corrupted the system.

When tyrants gain power expect tyrannical behavior to follow.

Bush built the Patriotic Act A-bomb and placed it the enforcement arsenal in spite of warnings about future tyranny.
The wait was very short.

Yeah, that was a tragic mistake. Thanks Sid!

An “attack” on the Capitol? “…nonviolent efforts…. to steal the 2020 election? Despicable “journalism.”

Who’s going to stop the FBI going after ordinary folks? After the media created an embarrassing perception around Jan 6 rioters they have largely disappeared from view even in conservative media. I don’t know but I have to assume that’s because they’re embarrassing and not particularly beneficial for bipartisan focused election prospects. Sure, Trump quietly mentions them occasionally but that generates about as much interest as conspiracy theories around Jamie Fox’s health condition.
“A representative for Jamie Foxx has shut down conspiracy theories that the actor’s recent hospitalisation was due to the Covid-19 vaccine leaving him “partially paralyzed and blind”.
“In a statement to NBC News, Foxx’s representatives called the claims “completely inaccurate.”
It’s hard to know what to make of this since Jamie is exactly the sort of Hollywood star that would defend a vaccine that left him debilitated to the last breath. I know who I blame for his terrible instincts and abject lack of interest. The FBI is interested though apparently.
Jeff Bargholz says
Foxx and his reps have no way of knowing if it was a covid vaccine that caused his condition. They’re full of shit.

Typical leftist/thugish/criminal behavior.
The leftists/islamists do all the crimes and people who stand up to them get demonized.
Una Salus says
They’re very thorough. They’re not interested in workable compromise for the sake of compromise so if they go for compromise at all it’s compromise that’s guaranteed to give them long term advantage on substance. As with the debt ceiling debacle they get the substance for the long game and leave McCarthy’s GOP the talking points of dubious value even for the current election cycle.
Una Salus says
sorry, hashtag on Trump free Twitter is what I meant to say
Jeff Bargholz says
Muskinvited Trump back to Twatter but he has his own social network.
Una Salus says
yea I was thinking about why he didn’t go back and then I realised Truth Social obviously but that’s not really what I’m getting at.
Una Salus says
That’s how they get substance and all we get is a hashtag on Trump’s free Twitter account.
Mondak says
“riots”, or fomenting actions of government agents provocateurs/communist agitators? I haven’t seen John Sullivan, nor any inserted government agents in solitary confinement yet.
JAM says
Hey Biden, we know you’re scared of Trump. Maybe you should be.
