Dinesh D’Souza opinion piece for the Epoch Times.

For a long time, the FBI has stood as the admirable symbol of a police agency of government, implacably going after the bad guys and neutrally enforcing the laws. This is the FBI of the movie “The Untouchables,” in which special agent Eliot Ness leads his dev**ed crew of armed agents in a heroic battle against the forces of organized crime.

Well, forget about the Untouchables. Today’s FBI has quite obviously been corrupted from the top. This is a process that seems to have begun under President Barack Obama, endured during the President Donald Trump years, and has now reached its unfortunate nadir under President Joe Biden. It’s time for conservatives and Republicans to start thinking about getting rid of the FBI.

I want to highlight two sets of contrasting episodes that give us a window into how biased and partisan this once-respected agency has now become. Contrast the treatment the FBI has given to J*** 6 activists with that it has afforded to A****a and Black L***s M****r protesters.

The FBI has unrelentingly hunted down J*** 6 protesters, in many cases confronting Trump supporters who were merely in Washington at the time, or at the mall rally but not involved in entering the Capitol.

Those who have been arrested have been treated like d******c t*******ts, captured in raids involving drawn weapons, even though the charges against most of them amount to little more than trespassing or entering a government facility without proper permission.

Nonviolent offenders have been given the same brutal treatment as violent ones. And to this day, the FBI promulgates images—a grandma here, a teenager there—asking the public to help them track down still-at-large individuals who had something, anything, to do with the events of J*** 6.


Contrast this concentrated effort with the lackadaisical, even disinterested, approach of the FBI to the A****a and Black L***s M****r activists. Over a period of many months, those activists have proven far more violent. They have k**led a number of people, in contrast to the Trump activists who k**led nobody. (The only person k**led on J*** 6 was Ashli Babbitt, a Trump supporter shot in the neck by a C*****l p****e officer.)

They have l**ted businesses, burned churches, assaulted police officers, attacked and harassed ordinary citizens eating in restaurants or going about their normal lives—and all with impunity. No FBI raids, no systematic arrests, no dissemination of “Wanted” images on social media.

Now, I turn to my second contrast: the recent FBI raid on Rudy Giuliani’s home and office, while there has been no raid on the home or office of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo

Giuliani pointed out in a statement released by his lawyer, however, that he had offered to sit down with the FBI and the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) and show them to their satisfaction that there had been no violation of law.

Moreover, Giuliani had for several months been offering the FBI clear evidence, corroborated by texts and emails, that H****r B***n not only allegedly failed to register as a foreign agent, but also that he was allegedly involved in child pornography, money laundering, and an elaborate Biden family scheme to sell their political access in exchange for millions of dollars in personal gain.

Both the FBI and the DOJ showed no interest in any of that. Consequently, Giuliani seems warranted in concluding that the agency’s conduct is a “clear example of a corrupt double standard”: “One for high-level Democrats whose blatant crimes are ignored, such as Hillary Clinton, H****r B***n, and Joe Biden” and quite another for “Republicans who are prominent supporters and defender of President Trump.”

Giuliani further revealed that the FBI and DOJ had, in late 2019, obtained access to his email database without notifying him. This means that while Giuliani was advising his client Donald Trump during the impeachment process—a relationship fully protected by attorney–client privilege—the FBI violated the law while supposedly investigating Giuliani and Trump’s possible violations of law.

Here, again, the FBI’s extreme diligence in going after Giuliani can be contrasted with the FBI’s failure to act in the case of Cuomo. Cuomo is currently involved in two separate scandals, one involving multiple women who have accused him of sexual harassment, and another involving his direct involvement in a cover-up scheme to hide the magnitude of nursing home deaths caused by his own policies.

According to The New York Times, the Cuomo administration was far more culpable than previously known in deliberately undercounting nursing home deaths over a period of five months. Let’s recall that these deaths need not have occurred. At the direction of the Trump administration, the U.S. Navy dispatched the hospital ship Comfort to New York to accept non-c****av***s patients and thus lessen the burden on New York hospitals.

Cuomo, however, turned the ship away to spite the Trump administration and instead ordered New York nursing homes to accept the overflow of C****-** patients, helping the v***s to spread among vulnerable nursing home populations and thus causing thousands of unnecessary deaths.

Then, when the Trump administration inquired about the nursing home data in New York, Cuomo instructed his state health officials, including health Commissioner Howard Zucker, not to release the true death toll to the federal government, state officials, or the general public. Cuomo also suppressed a research paper that revealed the data and blocked two letters by Zucker’s department from being sent to state legislators.

While Giuliani’s offense remains unclear, Cuomo is guilty of obvious abuses of power—actions that have not only put people in their graves but also amounted, in a statistical sense, to “hiding the bodies.” Again, the FBI is nowhere to be found, and the reason for its absence appears to be that Cuomo is a Democratic governor who seemingly enjoys immunity as far as today’s FBI and Biden’s DOJ are concerned.

Enough is enough! When justice no longer involves the neutral or equal application of the laws, it ceases to be justice. I realize, of course, that there will be no FBI reform under Biden. Therefore, I strongly urge the Republican Party to make the abolition of the FBI—shutting down the agency and then reconstructing it from the ground up—key provisions of its campaigns both in 2022 and 2024.

I think you are right.

Wishful thinking. There are a lot bigger problems that need to be dealt with first

SWMBO

Excellent and valid post and presents more actual information about the "assault" on the Capital instead of pretending that it was a right wing attack where many people were k**led by the right wing thugs and the destruction made the B*M damage look like a picnic in the park. Not that the t***h is at all important to the Socialist Marxists running the Democrat party.

Army

Yes FBI's c*******t traders NWO they have infiltrated every office local state federal supreme Court from the school boards to the sporting industry you name it . It's the seed of Cane & they want all rest dead

RascalRiley Loc: Somewhere south of Detroit

What is more important than the law and equal justice? It isn't Critical Race Theories. Or making everyone wear masks. P********a, check? E******ns, check? V*****es, check. What else? The FBI, CIA, and DOJ are beginning to look like the gang that couldn't shoot straight or plays fair. I blame the Dems and RINOs. Corruption always leads back to the usual suspects, if you do the research.

Army

Well it needs follow the true Law of God and Constitution that it don't now . It mite just need total dis mantle for good .
Ulysses S. Grant said there are only two Party's Patriots & Traders I think we only have one party now Traders that's in our government.
If there's no accountability an officials are free from all prosecution & death. Lead us all to slaughter.

RascalRiley Loc: Somewhere south of Detroit

Various state police forces cooperating. That would make for an interesting mess.
And who takes care of national and international crime. Crime will increase.

ChJoe

Maybe, but we can't have the FBI working for the democraps, can we??

RascalRiley Loc: Somewhere south of Detroit

Why not? It did not bother some people that the FBI was working for Trump.
AND there is not enough political will to shut down the FBI.

ChJoe

Purge the FBI may be better but it’s also meant to be a shocking line & a rebuttal to the, Abolish Ice/Police crowd.
