FBI: Iran Aspires to Attack California with Drones!

[Seymour Flops]

There weren't still investigating Mar-a-Lago. That stopped when the prosecutions ended. These people were fired simply because they were assigned to this investigation. Like they had a choice about what files they were assigned to.

Of course they did. FBI Agents are not enslaved persons or convicts given a work detail.

The media makes a lot of anti-Trump hay when people resign in protest of this or that, so resigning rather than doing something you find morally repugnant is always an option. As far as I know, not one single person resigned due to the persecution of Trump.

No one said, "change an email that is to be presented to the FISA court to make it say the exact opposite of what it says, so that we can get a wiretap warrant against the Trump campaign? I'm not doing that!"

If one of them had said, "I'm a trained counter-terrorist law enforcement officer. I'm not going to be party to a politically motivated intrusion into the personal residence of a former president and his family," I'd say re-hire them with full back pay. Instead, they all went along with it, so the "just following orders" excuse does not work.

You realize that it is not just wrong to use federal law enforcement assets for political purposes, it is a crime?

This level of petty retaliation is endangering lives, since the entire anti-terrorism unit has been decimated, and their expertise and experience is gone.

Were lives endangered when they were assigned to Melania's underwear instead of terrorists? Or was that kewl?

First off, there was no "persecution". That word implies that Trump isn't a criminal, did nothing wrong, and should not have been charged. Trump is a life long criminal who should be in jail.

There were agents who left the FBI because they refused to investigate Trump or the January 6th insurrectionists. Your memory seems very selective.

And yet you celebrate Trump's attempts to indict the Biden Family, the Clintons, James Comer, and all of the others. I guess it's only a crime when Democrats indict an actual criminal.

A seasoned card shark who bet his last chip on a bluff, but realized no one was buying his bullshit and that he might lose everything—what does he do? He pulls out a gun.
In Trump’s case, a nuclear one

What federal crimes was Jack Smith able to convict Trump on in the more than two years he was tasked with doing exactly that?

Well, good for them. They had integrity. They should be hired back.

I don't celebrate it, but I understand the need for it. It's retaliation, but the Democrats could stop it if they approached Trump with a humble attitude, and cut a deal for no more politically motivated prosecutions.

If political prosecutions are a tool used by only one side, why would they not start right back up the next time they get in power, if ever?

I think them ABC gals or them FBI fellers might be pulling California's legs, don't you?

Oh, yeah. The start of the story is that the FBI warned local police departments "across the Golden State" of strikes by unmanned aerial vehicles as tensions rise in the middle east.

What would police do about it? Shouldn't any units of the California Air National Guard or Army National Guard Air Defense Artillery be activated?

"An uncorroborated reported suggested that unidentified Mexican cartel leaders had authorized attacks using UAS (Drones) carring explosives . . . "

"Uncorroborated report suggested . . .?" I suppose you could say that about literally anything and no one could ever prove it was a lie.

So it is the cartels or Iran?

Well . . . now that this story is out, the cartels really might bomb California thinking that Iran will be blamed.

It would be interesting to see Newsom's reaction to this. Whose side exactly would he be on? Would he have to find out if it was the cartels or Iran before he knew if he should be mad or not?

The level of dumb --- the OP displays here is incredible

Trump is a criminal and you know what crimes he had on Trump.
