We’ve now seen how deeply entrenched and corrupt the FBI actually is. It’s a rogue agency — and not just because so many of its garden-level bureaucrats hate President Donald Trump. These functionaries have wielded chaos for decades, illegally attacking both the left and the right, in an attempt to exert absolute control and enforce doctrinaire policies.
Will Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel be able to corral these lunatics? Should they even try or is it better to just dismantle the FBI and start over? Here, veteran journalist Chis Hedges offers his perspective. He has previously taken on Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, so he has some experience battling the police state.
Can reforms be done? Hedges believes they can. But he cautions against harboring unreasonably high expectations. Yes, civil liberties can be restored in meaningful ways. But weeding out all of the bullying and corruption will be tough, and we likely will see more setbacks along the way. He shares his thoughts on The Jimmy Dore Show.
