Let's get it all over with.
...whereupon they confiscate my cars and home without trial.
At this rate, both sides will get their own favorite brand of abuse of power. Won't that be great? We can all sit there and say, "Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos."

Seems counterproductive, don't you think? Like, you'd rather have a political fight than have the other side change their mind.

But Wray is clearly part of the old establishment if he does not respond appropriately to this. Yes, he was appointed by Trump, but he may well have chosen from a group of cronies since he is not an Insider.
If there was a warrant, let’s see what it was for and what evidence was presented to the judge because it is highly unusual to raid a whistle blowers home like this, and it could have a chilling effect on all informants.
The coincidences of this case merit further scrutiny, and that is what Grassley is saying.

The life span of a conspiracy- about 50 years. Crazy stupid disregard for FBI and Judicial branch. So much power in that deep state. You guys are such victims. Get your guns ready. They are out to get you
And sad that you guys think that is funny, and not something to worry about. For you guys, it is never something to worry about as long as you are doing the abusing of power. For me, I always dislike abuse of power, no matter who does it.
You have no idea what evidence the FBI has; instead you have ideology that says the guy is innocent.
Do you know who has seen that evidence? The federal judge who issued the warrant. And that process is hardly a "rubber stamp."
You'd be calling for "equality". Then when the cops were acquitted, you'd say the system is broken.
You don't know if this was abuse of power or not. If there was anything to be learned from BLM it's that we shouldn't jump to conclusions.
Good comparison.

I just thank God that my biases are not Pro-Trump.

Oh, wait - you think judges are all part of the Deep State too. Obama judges!
I have zero faith that the judge questioned the FBI, or that the FBI presented unbiased facts to the judge, or that the FBI didn't target an individual as opposed to a crime.
I don't think I'm alone in this. It will become a big problem when more and more people lose faith in our institutions.
Maybe - just maybe - the system is working.
Don't worry. I'm not offended. Just making a comment.
The Soviet system worked against normal criminals, too, unless they were connected. And it worked against enemies of the state. But, the people who supported the state could always point to the true criminals that the system took down, and say, "See? The system works." Later, of course, they would just raid the homes of the public doubters.
The system doesn't work if it works against both the innocent and the guilty. It is supposed to work only against the guilty.
And, if you think everyone who opposes you is criminal, the system is also not working.
Like how the American system is working like the Soviet system.
That is ridiculous. You deserve ridicule.
any "Trumpie" defends Trump. Listening to you, one would falsely assume that corruption in the FBI is not possible.
It's ok though, your rules. Just stop whining when others do the same thing you do.
P.S. - we know how warrants get ruberstamped by specific judges - it happened in the Trump Campaign FISA as well. We also know that most of the FBI is not corrupt, but that does not prevent the properly placed Obama/Clinton loyalist plants from carryng out their deeds.
There is a check on FBI power, in case of corruption or rogue actions - it is called "the federal judiciary," which is not a rubber stamp (and this is not FISA)! Isn't that great?!
You reflexively defend this guy - and I have no idea who he is, or what he did, and neither do you - for ideological, not legal, reasons. How you don't see that, I don't know.

I didn't say we have a Soviet system, by the way. It is just an extreme example that demonstrates a point about you saying the system works when it is used unfairly all the time.
And why even bother with Hillary while she's on her Spinal Tap tour?
