President Biden on Sunday announced an FBI investigation into the Secret Service’s astounding failure to protect Donald Trump at the rally in Butler, Pa., promising the probe would be “thorough and swift.”
But it’s folly to trust a federal law enforcement agency to obliterate interagency niceties by exposing all the foibles and flubs of fellow G-men.
Instead, we’ll likely see a vintage DC investigation along these lines: Please tell us if you screwed up. Also, is there someone else we can blame?
An FBI analysis in 2023 recommended targeting conservative Catholics as potential violent extremists, citing nine “radical-traditionalist Catholic” organizations as “hate groups.” Twenty state attorneys general denounced the Bureau for effectively claiming that it could “distinguish the bad Catholics from the good ones” based on their “preference for ‘the Traditional Latin Mass and pre-Vatican teachings.’”
It’s the same agency that authorized the “use of deadly force” by FBI agents conducting a massively publicized raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in August 2022 in pursuit of government documents. (Federal Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the charges stemming from the raid on Monday.)
The agency knew early on that Hunter Biden’s laptop was bona fide, but did nothing to debunk the claims by CIA officials and others that it was Russian disinformation prior to the 2020 election.
Mayorkas blocking Cheadle from talking
Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill have also launched separate investigations and have called on Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to testify on Monday, July 22.
According to House Speaker Mike Johnson, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is attempting to block Cheatle from testifying.
It will be like the LV shooter, the Hunter Biden Laptop, the Afghanistan withdrawal, the JFK assassination, the Whitmer kidnapping and the other crimes never solved by the FBI.
