WASHINGTON, Sept 21 (Reuters) - The number of U.S. domestic terrorism cases under investigation by the FBI has more than doubled since spring 2020, its director told a Senate hearing on Tuesday, after the Justice Department warned that white supremacists and militias pose a growing threat.

1. Do those investigations amount to anything more than sympathetic federal agents

making wanking motions? Because the number of total investigations means jack shit if the people conducting them are pursuing a fig leaf for ideological compatriots rather than justice and security for ALL Americans.

Given the track record of LEOs in general, including federal agents, when it comes to white nationalist terrorism, sedition, and general criminality with institutional cover, the FBI proclaiming "we're working really hard, honest!, look at all our open cases!" means absolutely fuck-all.

I don't give a fuck how hard they say they are working or how many person-hours they are logging. What are the results of that work? Arrests, charges, convictions, sentences. Let's see 'em.

2. Recent statements from the former Rosneft and Gazprom general counsel Wray

show him posturing like Wile E. Coyote on the hunt. Too fucking stupid to notice, perhaps, the greatest criminal attempt in American history? “But look at all our little fish!”

What a charade. Another call for us to willingly suspend our doubt about their integrity. Interesting the FBI and radical right Supreme Court Justices are making statements at the same time. “Oh, please, we’re honest, we’re objective!” Who could possibly believe them? Wray and Co. buy time and protect the Shithead this way.

3. What? It went from one to two?
