It's an valid idea. How to you throw out the bath water but save the baby? An institution that was virtually founded on the principles of black mail by Mr "Dirty Pics" himself (J Edgar Hoover) has a many decades institutional culture that's nearly impossible to clear with anything less than a clean burn and rebuild. Is that even possible? LOTS of good and talented people in the organization and LOTS of necessary capability it would suck to discard. But how does one root out and cleans the culture of mutual blackmail?

I always think about Whitney Webb's "One Nation Under Blackmail" books. The title says it all. Everyone has dirt on everyone else and the FBI is the face of that paradigm starting with J Edgar. When a president can't fire a director without bracing for impeachment you know you have a problem

Once again a comment is cut off in mid sentence.

Happening a lot lately.

Also various links to videos, etc not working.

One even disappeared after clicking on.

Are you viewing it in the app on your phone. I use the app on my iPhone and for the last 2-3 days, when I attempt to click on a link, it ends up collapsing the entire comment and I have also notice comments that appear to be cut off

My solution to clicking on links has been to place my finger on the link and hold it there, keep on pressing. A pop up windows will appear that gives you the option to go to the link. Try it.

I have found it good to compose in Word, then copy & paste to my comment. No typos & hard to ‘disappear’ depending on what cookiebots are active on my browser…

Clean burn.

No rebuild.

Lengthy prison sentences for treason.

Except for the fact that BOTH impeachments were FAKE...false pretences. The first one was for Trump getting rid of their cover-up man...the second for a FAKE FED-surrection that porklosi herself planned with several of her DEMONIC, REPTILIAN friends/SOCIOPATHS!

Lawfare in the pursuit of lawlessness pressed forward by lawless thugs funded by our extorted taxes.

Staged show trials based on specious charges with predetermined outcomes were a fav of the Bolshevik Stalinist commies. Murder and suppression by "rule of law". That gavel would swing then off to an appointment with a pistol and that's that. Or if you were "lucky" you might be sent to the Gulag with a near certainty of death but of course in the service of "the greater good" which in that case was to move Russia from the peasant agrarian era to the industrial era in an insanely short time all while thinning the herd of the bad people. Such synergy.
