Remember when our liberal friends hated the FBI and its cross-dressing Director J. Edgar Hoover? I know: imagine today’s liberals as transphobes; it’s easy if you try.

But now there’s nothing for liberals to see at the FBI. The New York Times paper edition had a small front-page headline right at the fold on May 16 upon the release of the Durham report, the sweeties.

Seriously though: you expected indictments? One reaction in non-regime circles was from Kim Strassel in the Wall Street Journal writing that the FBI is not all bad. And then there was Scott Johnson who argued that the agency was “rotten to the core.”

No. I’d say that the FBI, from 2016 to the present, is just doing its job, protecting the friends of the regime, whether it’s Hillary Clinton, the favorite to win the 2016 election, or Hunter Biden, son of the president-to-be in 2020. Donald Trump is clearly a threat to the regime, as was Gen. Michael Flynn.

Hey! Sometimes the FBI has to take out a president to save the regime.

For you conspiracy theorists and supporters of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., there is the curious case of the assassination of President Kennedy about a year after he fired CIA director Allen Dulles in the Fall of 1961.

Not to mention the curious case of Bob Woodward, who had a tour as an officer in the U.S. Navy before becoming a journalist and taking out President Nixon. Nothing to see here! Of course, it didn’t hurt that his source, Deep Throat W. Mark Felt, was passed over for promotion at the FBI.

Every regime needs its FBI or MI5 or KGB to warn it about enemies, foreign and domestic, and keep the enemies at bay. And it is not at all surprising that, when the politicians fail to protect the regime, as with the Soviet Union in 1989, that KGB chappies like Vladimir Putin are forced to take over to save Mother Russia. Armies and Navies and Air Forces are all very well in their way, but first you need dedicated regime defenders on the front line against the armed insurrectionists.

What troubles me is the rather clear evidence that the recent FBI leaders are merely second-rate throne sniffers. I’d say that if we really had an FBI with backbone there would be a cabal deep within the agency that knew the nation’s current leadership isn’t up to par, and was determined to do something about it: taking out the weak reeds with corruption charges. To protect the nation!

Oops! I just detected a weird glitch on my computer. OMG! Forget everything I wrote! Nothing to see here! No, there’s no chance at all that a combination of Green New Deal, reckless deficit spending, divisive race and gender politics, defunding the police, doddering Dem politicians, and stupid foreign military adventures would threaten the very foundation of the nation, the regime, and the pensions of FBI operatives. No Siree!
