No Epps, No Peace

It’s funny how much trust and faith the FBI had in Trump and his supporters.

I mean, in 2015 and 2016 I thought Trump would implode on his own and that there would be some incident that would ruin him.  But the FBI didn’t see it that way, they wanted to destroy him before he could destroy himself. And thus the desperate Russian collusion gambit that made Trump a martyr. 

Similarly, the FBI knew a huge crowd was coming to D.C. on 1/6 and they could’ve assumed there would be violence and it could’ve been blamed solely on Trump. But instead of trusting that violence would happen organically they needed to incite and lead it. They stepped on their own message and muddied the waters again. 

The fortunate part is they are inept enough to unwittingly reveal what we know.  I’m not sure how they thought, if they were thinking at all, that in an age of smart phones that the non-arrest of Ray Epps wasn’t going to be a big deal given the video footage. 

Now Epps is an international story, getting front page treatment at the UK Daily Mail. (Nothing much in U.S. of course, although the Wall Street Journal did run an excellent op-ed today saying, "Abolish the FBI".)  

So Epps was approached by two Daily Mail reporters told them no comment when asked if he was linked to the FBI.  Last week a couple local citizen journalists stopped by his farm and asked a similar question and received a similar response but then were visited by the FBI the next day. (I trust the Daily Mail will receive no visits.)

And there's the ongoing disaster of the FBI trying to gin up someone to kidnap Gov Whitmer which was both corrupt and incompetent but effective towards its goal inasmuch as the timing, right before the election, might've swung enough votes to Biden, especially in Michigan.  The money quote in the article linked is about how post-9/11 entrapment was the new modus operandi used on numerous Muslim defendants  but that "in general the public did not object".  We're all Muslims now. 

Psalm 93 seems appropriate:

"Amid all the thronging cares that fill my heart, my soul finds comfort in thy consolation. What part have these unjust judges with thee, that make mischief in the name of law? Let them harry the just as they will...in my God I shall find a rock-fastness still.”
