      XPost: alt.fan.rush-limbaugh, alt.government.abuse, alt.politics.trump       XPost: alt.travel.vacation-reports, talk.politics.guns, sac.politics       From: jtaylor@verizon.com              Ask any Democrat or other leftist whether the FBI was corrupt under       J. Edgar Hoover and he or she will eagerly agree. Hoover, an ardent       Republican, not only used the agency to capture genuine criminals,       but he also turned it into a spy agency tracking anyone he thought       might be a communist. Now, though, it appears that the FBI, with       help from the DOJ, is going Hoover one better, and using all the old       powers plus modern technology to investigate and arrest people who       fail to support the Biden administration. The FBI’s latest target is       Texas Representative Henry Cuellar, a Democrat, who spoke out       against Biden’s illegal acts erasing America’s southern border.              It's likely that most Americans, and especially most conservative       Americans, had no idea who Henry Cuellar was before Biden entered       the White House. However, things changed when Biden issued a series       of orders that effectively erased the southern border.              Enrique Roberto “Henry” Cuellar is a Democrat representative for       Texas’s 28th District, which just happens to encompass a large       population area sitting on the southern border. The towns that are       entirely or partially within Cuellar’s district are Converse,       Laredo, Rio Grande City, and Universal City. Every one of these       towns has been directly and dramatically affected by Biden’s illegal       open border policy.              For that reason, Cuellar has been very vocal about opposing Biden’s       border policies. Because Democrat-run media outlets (the networks,       CNN, MSNBC, the print media, etc.) don’t want to hear a negative       word about a project that’s allowed almost 2,000,000 unvetted,       unvaccinated, unidentified, and often criminal people from all       corners of the earth to flood into America in a single year, the       only major media outlet willing to listen to Cuellar has been Fox,       where he’s made several appearances. Rather than being a slave to       party politics, Cuellar is truly representing his constituents who       are being destroyed by Biden’s policies.                            Unfortunately, in Biden’s America, if you cross the administration,       sooner or later it seems as if the FBI comes a’knockin’. That’s       exactly what happened to Cuellar:                     Texas Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar's Laredo home and campaign       office were the subject of FBI activity Wednesday evening, according       to an FBI spokesperson.              "The FBI was present in the vicinity of Windridge Drive and Estate       Drive in Laredo conducting court-authorized law enforcement       activity," FBI spokesperson Rosanne Hughes told ABC News. "The FBI       cannot provide further comment on an ongoing investigation."              Local news reports showed members of the FBI's Evidence Response       Team at Cuellar's campaign office as well.              The FBI declined to provide specifics about the investigation. Local       news reports say that boxes were seen being taken from the home.              With primaries looming in March, the DOJ’s Department of Public       Integrity office has suddenly announced that Cuellar is being probed       for campaign finance violations. Do you believe that?              Maybe Cuellar really has engaged in illegal activity. Or maybe       Cuellar has joined the ranks of Republicans and conservatives who       have taken up all of FBI’s time and energy, to the exclusion of       focusing on the Antifa soldiers who waged war against the federal       government for months in Portland, or the Antifa and BLM activists       who took over part of Seattle and set up an “autonomous” zone, or       the myriad Antifa and BLM organizations that have openly called for       (and worked toward) the violent overthrow of the American system.              Thanks to Hoover (or maybe it would have happened regardless of       Hoover), the FBI was always a politicized organization at the upper       echelons. After all, Hoover was known to spy on everyone he       categorized as a “communist.” However, the FBI rank-and-file had a       reputation for mostly having agents who were straight-shooter, by-       the-books types who believed in the rule of law and loved America.              That no longer seems to be the case. The FBI is giving every       indication that it’s become the investigative arm of a hyper-       partisan Department of Justice that, especially under Merrick       Garland, no longer sees America as a level playing field, with the       entire nation entitled to Constitutional protections. The events of       the last five years have shown us that, if you’re on the       conservative side of the political divide, the DOJ and police arm,       the FBI, have seemingly abandoned              the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures;       the right to have due process of law before being deprived of life,       liberty (see, e.g., the January 6 defendants kept in gulag-like       circumstances for almost a year), or property (they’re also being       bankrupted);       the right to a speedy trial (see, again the January 6 defendants);       the right to an impartial jury (an impossibility in D.C.);              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
