Targeting, harassing and investigating people and organizations because they don't agree with you politically. Sounds like what went on in the old Soviet Union, or under every other despotic regime ever. DOJ official named in FBI politicization allegations played role in Lois Lerner IRS scandal | Just The News
Richard Pilger pushed idea of criminal prosecution of Tea Party groups' political speech, congressional evidence shows.
Somehow I don't expect the mainstream media to take much notice. I mean he was only going after the Tea Party and there Right-wing/Republican organizations. And the media is nothing if not in the pocket of the Left.
Do you remember the IRS targeting of Tea Party organizations for daring to express views that the Democrats didn't agree with? Click thru for the review of the details. The FBI was involved in that as well as the IRS.
In the end, the Obama administration repudiated the efforts of its own IRS to target conservative nonprofits as "inexcusable," and Lerner invoked her 5th amendment right against self-incrimination to avoid testifying before Congress.
The House also voted to find her in contempt of Congress. But the Obama DOJ chose not to pursue criminal charges against Lerner, unlike the prosecution the department recently completed of former Trump adviser Steve Bannon.
And while the IRS scandal has now mostly been relegated to the history books, Pilger's name resurfaced Monday when Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Foster's old boss in the Senate, revealed in a letter to FBI Director Chris Way and Attorney General Merrick Garland that multiple FBI whistleblowers have raised concerns that agents and DOJ officials are politically tampering with investigations.
There is more about the current state of things.
The FBI is protecting the Biden family, and attacking people who disagree with the Left. Doesn't sound like The Land of the Free anymore.
