3 of 4 Defendants Finally Released After FBI Conspiracy Revealed

One of the most "through the looking glass" parts of the Donald Trump presidency was the way suddenly the FBI was supposedly out to get Republicans.  LOL!  As if.

Over in the land of alternative facts, the FBI is a progressive thing that's out to get the struggling white Republican guy who can never seem to catch a break in this country.

In real life, the FBI was founded as J. Edgar Hoover's personal right-wing goon squad.  One of Hoover's hottest personal agendas was harassing any sexy black people that showed up on radar, like Martin Luther King or Angela Davis.  He lost his mind trying to go after both of them.  I think they built an FBI cafeteria on top of Leonard Peltier. 

I have always thought of the FBI to be on the trustworthiness scale of say, Wile E. Coyote.  And it sucks, because unfortunately they are the ones tasked with pursuing (a) the mafia and (b) child sex predators, both of which directly interest me personally.  And I have to say they do a not-bad job with the chomos, thanks in no small part to the Center for Missing and Exploited Children.  Kudos on that.

But in this story we see another example of the extreme toxicity of the GW Bush presidency, more of those radioactive chickens coming to roost.  From the same slippery slope of human rights and law enforcement that brought us Guantanamo Bay, they also stitched up these four guys, three of whom have now finally been released.  One of them is a paranoid schizophrenic.  America!  He's lucky it wasn't Texas or they'd have given him the death penalty.

Here, again, the state was a bad actor, making work for itself to make itself look good when a certain sort of cases were in fashion.  As if there wasn't a mega crap ton of real work to do in America all the time.  As if the woods weren't full of militia wingnuts.

There won't be justice for anyone until there's justice for everyone.  And I can't imagine that there ever will be.  We'll never have nice things in this country.  Because this isn't a broken system.  The system is perfectly reflecting the desires and values of the people who built it.
