If there's any truth to this, the FBI is setting themselves up to go down hard. They won't have any support at all when they get exposed.

Knowing a little about the history of the FBI can be very revealing.

First established in 1908, the FBI has often been criticized for violating the civil rights of law-abiding U.S. citizens, even as its role expanded to include domestic and international terrorism.

In 1908, President Theodore Roosevelt, who had taken office after a deranged anarchist assassinated President William McKinley in 1901, gave his approval for his attorney general, Charles J. Bonaparte (a grandnephew of Napoleon) to bypass Congress and form his own investigative squad.

In a memo dated July 26, 1908, Bonaparte stated that a “regular force of special agents” would handle all investigative matters from U.S. attorneys. This force, which included some former Secret Service agents, would become the nucleus of the new Bureau of Investigation.

Renamed the U.S. Bureau of Investigation in 1932, the bureau wouldn’t receive its current name, Federal Bureau of Investigation, until 1935.
