FBI Investigates Major Crime

What I've figured out....
You & other lefties would never approve of the FBI
& the grand jury system being applied to minor
crimes....except when they go after the evil right.

And righties wouldn't care if they were going after the evil left.

The problem isn't the FBI wasting tax payers money, they would be doing that anyway. The problem is you Americans hating each other.

I agree about the partisan bending of government
to express hostilities. But many of us don't hate.
Alas those who do get media coverage galore.

I criticize without hatred.
After all, this stuff is just politics & religion.
None of it affects me personally.
(But I've experienced some hatred.)

Well whatever the reason it is entertaining and I'm grateful for that and marvel at my own intelligence for not moving there 25 years ago when my wife suggested it.

This orginazation seems to have become more political.
Calling parents "terrorist", and the above action.
In my opinion it is lucky for the country that Garland did not become a Supreme Court judge.
More right-wing alternate reality.

The DoJ only used the term "domestic terrorism" in reference to threats of, and actual violence towards school officials.

And I explained earlier, the reason the FBI got involved in this case is because it's potentially another attempt at foreign interference in our elections. I tend to think we should be diligent and try and thwart that whenever we can. Don't you agree?

It's great here.
But there are a few troubled places.

Are you referring to the stolen diary as "foreign interference"?

Sigh.....

To repeat:

This isn't just a case of some random diary being stolen. This involves the diary of the daughter of one of the major parties' Presidential candidate being stolen and the contents of that diary being posted online just prior to the Presidential election. That obviously (at least to some of us) brings up a whole host of possibilities that go far beyond mere petty theft of a woman's book.

Was it an attempt to influence the election? That needs to be investigated, and by someone other than the local police.

If it was an attempt to influence the election, who did it? Since it would have clearly been an attempt to help Trump win, and given that we already know the Russians worked to help Trump in the 2016 election, they would be an obvious suspect.

And that leads to a much bigger possibility....should this be a counter-intelligence operation?

Given the specific circumstances here, at the very least those need to be investigated, and the FBI is the appropriate agency to do so.

And to repeat again......duh.

Yes...a daughter's diary that rises to the level of a national
security threat. Oh, brother....what was in it that was so
explosive that it would affect an election? What was the
"foreign influence" conducting this fiendish conspiracy?

Australia.
Oh...the place where every plant & animal wants to kill you.
At least you're in perhaps the only country in that region of
the globe where there are engine collectors & shows.
I know a guy who comes here to attend a show where I
volunteer. I actually heard him say "Crikey".

The plants and animals are safer than the armed 17 year olds playing medic/cop/fireman.

There's a huge annual steam festival about an hours drive from my place. The highlight is a race between a tigermoth and a steam train.

I've never run into those people.
But then, there are several hundred million people here.
There's bound to be something bad happening somewhere.
But all of Australiastan is just like that TV show, Mr In
Between, right?

Looks like a pretty good show....for a 3rd world country.

It was fiction and maybe that's part of the problem, Americans appear to have a problem distinguishing between fiction and fact.

Every country has that problem....at least the
ones populated by humans. (They're the worst.)
But there's an advantage for countries with a free
press...the facts do lurk there among all the fiction.
The careful reader can discern what's what.

If a foreign entity steals it and tries to use it to influence an election, yeah.........duh. o_O

Good grief....the contents don't matter, it's the intent behind the theft and the release........duh. o_O

What was the
"foreign influence" conducting this fiendish conspiracy?
That's why you bring the FBI in to investigate....that's their territory.........duh. o_O

Good thing you're not a cop.
