"What We've Known and Feared"

Josh Marshall

"Our document for the day is this email released under the Freedom of Information Act. It is an email dated January 13th, 2021 in which the writer informs the then associate deputy director of the FBI, Paul Abbate, how a substantial portion of FBI personnel were in sympathy with the January 6th insurrectionists."

I can't read any more.

THE ROT RUNS DEEP AND WIDE, folks.

1. I'm a Paid Subscriber to Josh Marshall's TPM - It and DU are Worth the Money!!

[BigmanPigman]

2. I think that most of us realized

that a lot of police would back tRump if he tried any shit but not many of us really believed that the FBI, etc would also be corrupted.

How do we "clean" house when there is rot everywhere?

[Bread and Circuses]

3. law enforcement is full of racists, nazis, misogynists, and extremists

FBI and SS are rot to the core. Fire all the traitors

[Duppers]

7. Indeed! 👍

Wondering, would there be consequences to Biden if he were to do so?

How long have the FBI & SS been this corrupt? Since the administration of Kennedy, Johnson, Bush, Reagan, Clinton, or forever?


This seems to be the standard personality type in law enforcement.

16. FBI has been dirty the whole time

J. Edgar Hoover renamed it FBI in 1935. It was involved in con-Intel-pro for years.

17. Abraham Bolden

The first White House secret service agent, under President Kennedy, was railroaded on trumped up charges after he made allegations of a wider plot to assassinate President Kennedy. He spent years in prison and was pardoned by President Biden.

4. Of course they were thats is why Pence wouldn't go

With people not in his usual assigned compliment. You can be sure Pence would have been taken somewhere or be left to the hands of those willing to finish their task .

[SergeStorms]

5. The Secret Service as well.

Another organization that's rotten to the core.

[not fooled]

6. One of the looniest trumper loons I know is a fairly high ranking Federal LEO

He's some sort of analyst now--his job is so secret he can't say what it is--but has lots of field experience. I'd be shocked if he hasn't killed people as part of his job, earlier in his career.

But KNOWS that Bill and Hillary are murderous drug dealers. Has heard much, much more about the Clinton Crime Cabal from his buddies in DEA and other Federal agencies.

Unmoored from reality.

[Duppers]

8. OMG.

We live very close to The Farm and have met some agents in our neighborhood, one of whom was black; they seemed like very nice folks. But CIA is a cut above FBI, all of whom, I'm sure, are Rethugians.

[orleans]

9. "the farm" ? sounds familiar --like a term i read in some hip

hippie book in the 70s

[Duppers]

10. Sorry. It's CIA

From Wiki:

Camp Peary is an approximately 9,000 acre U.S. military reservation in York County near Williamsburg, Virginia. Officially referred to as an Armed Forces Experimental Training Activity (AFETA) under the authority of the Department of Defense, Camp Peary hosts a covert CIA training facility known as "The Farm", which is used to train officers of the CIA's Directorate of Operations, as well as those of the DIA's Defense Clandestine Service,[2] among other intelligence entities. Camp Peary has a sister facility,

It was made more famous by Joe Wilson & Valerie Plame. It's where they trained and met. Although not 100% positive, because they were not famous back in the early 90s, I think I met them at my house! Long story.

[orleans]

11. i wonder if the term was used in stephen king's book "firestarter" nt

[Duppers]

12. Don't know.

Wild things go on over there. We've been subjected to very loud noise from major armaments and machine gun fire in the wee a.m. hours.

[orleans]

13. that's disturbing. (and i just googled the book firestarter and it's not

"the farm" that they talk about; it's "the shop" and that's probably what i was thinking of)

[Scrivener7]

14. In the reporting on that memo, I don't see anyone asking what is being done

about that. All the sites I have read say, "Wow this is shocking." And leave it at that.

That's part of the rot, too.

[EarlG]

15. The email in question has been posted here

Just FYI, for those who don't have TPM Prime.

[Richard58]

18. I always suspected that was the truth.

It frightens me to learn how many Capital police officers, Secret Service agents, FBI personnel and others knew what was going to happen on January 6th but did nothing to stop it and in fact covered it up. They APPROVED what was going to happen! They wanted Trump to seize power! This does not bode well for our future as a democracy. We need to kick out the traitors and clean house.

[Heather MC]

19. Are we really surprised? Think about it wars only succeed because of all the young men

They're willing to give their lives for the old man that sent them to die.

It certainly stands to reason that a huge part of the authority in this country supports someone like Orange monkey.
And men like the Orange monkey are really good at getting other people to protect them come and fight their battles for them.

Perhaps it's a good thing that we know the FBI isn't this Paragon of goodness that they try to convince us these men of Self appointed men of authority, Are.
