Don’t look now but the FBI is resisting the political witch-hunt loosed upon it.

This is really good news. Other departments need to do the same, or else this country doesn’t stand a chance.

I'm at full mast over here imagining an FBI raid on the White House.

Don't forget about all those agents around the world who were killed after Trump gave their names to one of our enemies, Russia.

What are fbi agents doing all over the world?

[-] threshold_dweller@lemmy.today 1 points 2 years ago

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess they were investigating. Its kind of their thing.

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah. Investigating within their jurisdiction, the United States. What are they doing all over the world?

I get what you are saying, but crime syndicates can exist internationally.

But yeah, it was probably CIA agents he got killed.

[-] LucidNightmare@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Don't quote me on this, but I believe that allied countries and the US have agreements with each other that they can send spies into each others country as long as they're working within the agreement. Also, I'm sure, they're probably doing not so good things in other countries with no agreement, so.

Wouldn't they use the CIA for that though? The FBI is a federal law enforcement agency

[-] LucidNightmare@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Oh! I see what you mean, yes. FBI is probably more on home turf, while CIA is more broad. My comment was basically a tongue in cheek way of saying these FBI agents need to stand their ground since Trump would have no problem at all getting rid of them if they start to waiver, just like he did the CIA agents his first term.

I am not good at making my points. :')

OK... then do what you all did to JFK then

[-] liyunxiao@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

The same thing they did to Hampton and MLK Jr. If Trump were smarter he'd use them for their original purpose instead of whatever dept of assassination he has planned to create.
