Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) issued a letter on Tuesday demanding an urgent briefing from FBI Director Christopher Wray on how the agency is addressing extremist efforts to infiltrate law enforcement and the military.
We should applaud Rep. Raskin for this, and echo his insistence that Director Wray provide such a a briefing to be followed by a Q & A. I would suggest also that newly approved Attorney General Merrick Garland also participate in this briefing.
Glad Raskin is on this. White supremacists must be removed ASAP. Indeed, an effective filter would be: anyone who does not hold a deeply negative view of Trump should be removed – which would gut the police force as we know it, but maybe then it could be rebuilt how it should be, manned entirely with decent self-aware citizens who are motivated by public service and not getting off on asshole politics and abuse of power.
IIRC when the oaf keepers first surfaced they presented themselves as former military and/or former law enforcement. Definitely right wing nut job leanings.
When you’re in a position of authority (e.g. the authority to kill someone pretty much when you want to) then some expressed opinions are a form of action. Some expressed opinions may also impair your effectiveness, e.g. if you can’t ever be put on a witness stand because you would be cross-examined.
Grounds for immediate dishonorable discharge IMO. US servicemen didn’t fight and die so that our enemy could be glorified. Same goes for the fucking S&B. No room for sympathizers of US enemies in our military. NONE.
And yeah, I know, most will join underground militia and consider themselves to be estranged from the US. Making them legitimate targets of law enforcement or worse. You betray the US and what it stands for, you’re its enemy. PERIOD.
