FBI internal affairs?

Dictators, Despots, and third-world banana republics all use law enforcement and other government agencies as weapons to destroy their political opponents. The better countries with democratically organized government tend to use the same agencies more to benefit the overall society. The most alarming fact to be exposed by the Nunes memo which was just unclassified is that it clearly shows that the upper level members of the FBI believe that they should use their power to destroy anyone who does not share their political opinions. Not only that, it also clearly shows that the upper level members of the FBI also believe that they should use their power to protect people who share their political views. Last of all, it also shows that the mindset of the upper FBI has been to bend or even break the law to protect those sharing their political views and conversely attack those with differing political views. This is frightening!

When Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, and a plethora of other historical dictators came into power, one of the first actions they took was to totally corrupt the law enforcement to use them as weapons. In those cases where there was an existing government body of lawmakers (such as congressmen), the dictators destroyed the lawmakers oversight powers, and they also ensured that the lawmakers were kept ignorant of the actions being undertaken by the weaponized law enforcement. The actions of the FBI leadership as detailed by the Nunes memo shows a carefully choreographed plan to accomplish those exact goals. The FBI leadership used their power to attack individuals of a different political group by fraudulently obtaining fisa warrants to unlawfully spy on U.S. citizens. The FBI leadership stonewalled attempts by congress to lawfully obtain information to exercise their constitutional oversight responsibility. The FBI leadership even made a short-lived effort to lie to congress about the availability of information, claiming it had been lost. So far, FBI agent Orr has been demoted twice. He should be fired and probably even prosecuted for participating in the effort to assemble a fraudulent dossier that included colluding with Russian agents. James Comey was fired for blatantly conducting a sham investigation of Hillary Clinton. He should be prosecuted for obstruction of justice. FBI agent Andrew McCabe has been fired for planning and assisting in the fraudulent fisa warrant activities, and his apparent acceptance of money from Hillary for his wife’s political campaign in return for helping organize the sham investigation of Hillary’s email scandal. Agent Stryzok has been demoted for blatant hatred of President Trump embodied in posts to his lover, participating in the sham Hillary investigation, and apparently conspiring to bring about a coup of our duly elected president, plus other issues. He should be convicted of conspiracy to overthrow our government. The whole Russia/Trump collusion fantasy was constructed by Hillary and Obama in collusion with various Russian agents assisted by these same FBI leaders. So some of the dirty political actors are getting some measure of punishment for their illegal and/or immoral activities.

 But there needs to be more action taken. For one thing, it appears to me that we need an internal affairs unit created within the FBI to ensure that such corruption will not be repeated. The internal affairs should have several distinct functions. First of all, any request from congress for information from the FBI must be complied with IMMEDIATELY. Stonewalling these requests MUST NOT BE TOLERATED.  Therefore, internal affairs should be the point of contact for information requests from congress. To make absolutely sure that information will be available, a redundant document storage and retrieval system must be set up which will create duplicate documentation outside of the possible access of normal FBI agents, but available to internal affairs. Once created, no document in the internal affairs document base can be updated, revisions of originals will be reflected as additional documents with full traceability of changes. Also, no document can be deleted from internal affairs. It can only be archived. To further ensure that documentation integrity is maintained, there should also be a storage of documents with the Inspector General, again accessible by only the IG. Another function which the FBI internal affairs department should perform is a review of all investigations related to any political figure to ensure that a corrupt high-level FBI agent will have difficulty taking actions which are not within normal investigative procedures. The internal affairs department should have the right to initiate internal investigations to identify and prosecute any FBI personnel leaking information to the public media. It also seems to me that internal affairs should have the ability and authorization to convene a grand jury if they deem that criminal actions have occurred within the FBI. I am sure that any congressman dedicated to the concept of eliminating future corruption of the FBI can add other functions and/or modify what I have suggested. No matter what corrective actions are taken, congressional oversight capabilities must be protected.
