We can\u2019t trust politicized FBI to handle probe of Trump assassination bid<\/a><\/h1>\n

by James Bovard<\/p>\n

\n

President Biden on Sunday announced an FBI investigation into the Secret Service\u2019s astounding failure to protect Donald Trump<\/a> at the rally in Butler, Pa., promising the probe would be \u201cthorough and swift.\u201d<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s folly to trust a federal law enforcement agency to obliterate interagency niceties by exposing all the foibles and flubs of fellow G-men.<\/p>\n

Instead, we\u2019ll likely see a vintage DC investigation along these lines: Please tell us if you screwed up. Also, is there someone else we can blame<\/a>?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Congress is jumping on the Secret Service\u2019s Butler debacle, asserting its own right to investigate the assassination bid.<\/p>\n

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has directed Secret Service chief Kimberly Cheatle to \u201cpreserve all documents<\/a>\u201d tied to the Trump shooting, and Cheatle could take a high-profile hammering before Comer\u2019s committee next week.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Rep. Lance Gooden (R-Tex.), citing a lack of \u201cfaith in the current FBI leadership,\u201d is calling for a select House committee<\/a> to look into the Secret Service\u2019s mess, joined by Rep. Jim Banks (R-In.), while Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Gary Peters (D-Mich.) announced plans for a bipartisan Senate investigation.<\/p>\n

Yet the White House is telling Americans to blindly trust an agency whose acronym is now widely presumed to stand for Following Biden\u2019s Instructions.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the same FBI that kowtowed when Team Biden wanted parents who protested school closures and mask mandates<\/a> at school board meetings to be categorized as terrorist threats.<\/p>\n

An FBI analysis in 2023 recommended targeting conservative Catholics as potential violent extremists, citing nine \u201cradical-traditionalist Catholic\u201d organizations as \u201chate groups.\u201d Twenty state attorneys general denounced the Bureau for effectively claiming that it could \u201cdistinguish the bad Catholics from the good ones\u201d based on their \u201cpreference for \u2018the Traditional Latin Mass and pre-Vatican teachings.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span>It\u2019s the same agency that authorized the \u201cuse of deadly force<\/a>\u201d by FBI agents conducting a massively publicized raid on Trump\u2019s Mar-a-Lago residence in August 2022 in pursuit of government documents. (Federal Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the charges<\/a> stemming from the raid on Monday.)<\/p>\n

The agency knew early on that Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop was bona fide, but did nothing to debunk the claims by CIA officials and others that it was Russian disinformation<\/a> prior to the 2020 election.<\/p>\n

FBI officials also browbeat Twitter and other social media companies to suppress The Post\u2019s bombshell laptop revelations.<\/p>\n

Will the FBI treat the Secret Service like it did Hillary Clinton\u2019s 2016 presidential campaign<\/a>? The FBI shrugged off the destruction of tens of thousands of subpoenaed emails tied to her breach of federal classified data laws.<\/p>\n

Actually, the Secret Service has already been caught destroying far more evidence than did Team Hillary.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In January 2021, a Secret Service sweep missed a pipe bomb planted outside the Democratic National Committee headquarters<\/a> shortly before Kamala Harris, then the Vice President-elect, arrived there.<\/p>\n

Months later, the agency admitted it had erased the cellphone records \u201cof dozens of high-level officials and agents\u201d \u2014 doing so after<\/em> the evidence was requested by the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General. No Secret Service official faced any penalty for that obstruction.<\/p>\n

Is the routine destruction of self-incriminating evidence simply another perk of federal law enforcement?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Biden declared on Sunday, \u201cWe don\u2019t yet have any information about the motive of the shooter . . . Let the FBI do their job.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like the job done by the FBI after the 2016 Pulse nightclub massacre in Orlando, perhaps?\u00a0Police repeatedly spoke with shooter Omar Mateen via cellphone throughout the night as he was killing 49 people while pledging allegiance to the Islamic State, saying his homicidal spree was spurred by US bombings in Iraq and Syria.<\/p>\n

But the FBI initially expunged the comments from the phone transcripts, enabling President Barack Obama to falsely portray the attack as having been spurred by anti-gay bias.<\/p>\n

More recently, the FBI fought in federal court<\/a> to suppress the crazed writings of Audrey Hale, the transgender mass killer who attacked the Covenant Christian School in Nashville last year.<\/p>\n

One leaked excerpt purportedly revealed that Hale loathed the children for their \u201cwhite privilege.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps the best recent example of an independent Biden administration \u201cinvestigation\u201d is Attorney General Merrick Garland\u2019s willingness to risk jail rather than reveal the audiotape of his boss\u2019 interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur.\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Team Biden will stonewall a congressional subpoena for clearly political reasons \u2014 what might they suppress regarding the assassination attempt on Trump?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If Biden\u2019s rhetoric dubbing Trump a neo-Hitler influenced Secret Service decisions on the level of protection the Republican deserved, for example, don\u2019t expect the FBI to reveal it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So congressional investigations and whistleblower leaks are the best chance to get at the truth of the matter between now and Nov. 5.<\/p>\n

Our political system has zero legitimacy to spare these days.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Biden said Sunday that \u201cnothing is more important than [unity] right now.\u201d But a fa\u00e7ade of unity is no substitute for the truth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

James Bovard\u2019s latest book is \u201cLast Rights: The Death of American Liberty.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
