By calling criticism “attacks” and then immediately warning the country of the danger “violence and threats” against the FBI pose, [FBI Director] Wray deceitfully framed legitimate speech as violence or, at a minimum, the threat of violence. The object of this framing is obvious: to silence Americans who have finally found their voice following the FBI’s raid of Trump’s private residence at Mar-a-Lago.
In a country founded on first freedoms — foremost of which is free speech — Wray’s statement proves shocking.

“The Democrats are not increasing the IRS because they think they’re going to be audited … They’re increasing the size of the IRS so they can use it as a political weapon against conservatives,” Clyde said.
“[The beefed-up IRS] will become more weaponized … more militaristic,” said Clyde, alluding to an alleged IRS job posting in which some applicants might be expected to carry firearms, potentially for citizen raids.”

“They’ve done more damage to this country than any foreign enemy. Their ilk is destroying us from within, secure in the notion that they are among the elites who will never suffer the iniquities they foist upon the rest of us. No longer a representative republic, America is now run by oligarchs who have turned the United States into a combination of a plutocracy, a kakistocracy, and a kratocracy.
Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, the Clintons, Mitch McConnell, and a host of other long-term denizens of Congress have all become fabulously wealthy while in office, despite the relatively small salaries they receive.
They’ve sold their souls for a fat wallet. Certain that their own lives will never be affected by the insane policies they impose on the populace, they relish their power over our lives and their insulation from the damage they do.
But they employ thousands of worker bees to do their dirty work. The 87,000 new IRS agents will be armed and ready “to use deadly force.”
