No longer content to investigate crimes, The FBI now sets out to create them.

Let me start with the obligatory that most FBI agents have a difficult job and do it to the best of their ability, and the perform at an exceedingly high level . . . blah, blah, blah. However, the job of investigating crimes, especially those that involve conspiracies, is difficult and excruciatingly tedious. Wouldn’t it be easier just to create the crime, then solve it at the same time? If you are an ambitious sort like Steve D’Antuono, toiling away in a remote FBI office in the sticks of Michigan while pining for a plum assignment in the in the Emarald City, the answer is, of course. Welcome to the new FBI. The most overfunded steaming pile of bureaucracy on the planet. Anything resembling Efrem Zimbalist Jr is coincidental.

Dating back to its founding, FBI has made use of undercover agents and confidential informants to infiltrate criminal organizations. It makes sense since a conspiracy case cannot be built unless there is access to the criminals. This is how cases against the Mafia, Hell’s Angel’s and other known criminal organizations were constructed. When the FBI’s mission was to solve crime, the practice was laudable. Now that the FBI is the enforcement arm of the Democrat Party, the practice is now purely a political weapon . . .
