Remember kids, when you say something, the internet always remembers:
“There’s a growing belief that America has two standards of justice: one for the well-connected and one for the rest of us. As a result, many Americans have lost faith in institutions like the FBI. The only way to change that perception is restore a pillar of American justice: no one is above the law. Given the waves of new information emerging in recent months, it’s certainly appropriate that the FBI re-open the investigation into Secretary Clinton's emails. We should fight the temptation, however, to prejudge the results; the FBI must follow the facts and be fair in their findings, regardless of political implications/ramifications." - Scott Perry (R-PA) 2016
"The FBI concluded what many Americans have known for quite some time, which is that Hillary Clinton’s conduct as Secretary of State and her mishandling of classified information was disgraceful and unbecoming of someone who aspires to the presidency. There is simply no excuse for Hillary Clinton's decision to set up a home-cooked email system which left sensitive and classified national security information vulnerable to theft and exploitation by America’s enemies. Her actions were grossly negligent, damaged national security and put lives at risk.
"Hillary Clinton's actions have sent the worst message to the millions of hard-working federal employees who hold security clearances and are expected to go to great lengths to secure sensitive government information and abide by the rules. They don't take their oaths lightly, and we shouldn't expect any less of their leaders.
"Hillary Clinton’s reckless and thoughtless mishandling of classified information is not the end of the story however. It’s only a matter of time before the next shoe drops and the nexus of corruption and controversy that has surrounded Hillary Clinton throughout her time in public office produces yet another scandal for the American people to endure. Given the consequential and challenging times in which we live, America simply cannot afford any more Clinton drama." - Marco Rubio (R-FL) 2016
“The FBI’s initial investigation made it clear that Secretary Clinton’s unlawful and extremely reckless handling of classified information continues to put America’s national security at risk. We are a nation of laws, and those laws should be applied equally to all Americans, regardless of their political connections. Today’s decision by the FBI to reopen this case is a critical step toward ensuring that elites like Secretary Clinton are held accountable by the same laws that apply to every other American. I urge the FBI to conduct this investigation in a fair, thorough, expeditious, and transparent manner.” - Steve Scalise (R-La.) 2016
And of course Trump, it really reads like every Rightist accusation is actually a confession:
"Crooked Hillary Clinton and her team 'were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.' Not fit!" -Donald Trump 7/2016
"We've seen a former secretary of state lie to Congress about her illegal email scheme, risk innocent American lives and bring dishonor onto our government, great, great dishonor."
"In my administration, I'm going to enforce all laws concerning the protection of classified information." -Donald Trump 8/2016
"On political corruption, we are going to restore honor to our government. In my administration, I'm going to enforce all laws concerning the protection of classified information. No one will be above the law." --Donald Trump 8/2016
"One of the first things we must do is to enforce all classification rules and to enforce all laws relating to the handling of classified information."
"Hillary Clinton put her emails on a secret server nobody knew about except for the man that was giving the Fifth, remember? What ever happened to him? Where is he? What happened to him? Where did he go? He pled the Fifth. Never heard - that's the end of him…She put her emails on a secret server to cover up her pay-for- play scandal in the State Department," he added.
"Nothing threatens the integrity of our democracy more than when government officials put their public office up for sale," -Donald Trump 9/2016
“We also need the best protection of classified information. That is the worst situation. Hillary's private email scandal, which put our classified information in the reach of our enemies, disqualifies her from the presidency. Totally." -Donald Trump 9/2016
"Wikileaks proves even the Clinton campaign knew Crooked, mishandled classified info, but no one gets charged? RIGGED!" - -Donald Trump 10/2016
OAN Calls Attack on FBI Office a "Hoax"

Charlie Kirk claimed it was a false flag on his podcast today:"The director of the FBI had strong words Wednesday for supporters of Donald Trump, who have been using 'violent rhetoric' in the wake of his agency's search for Trump's Mar-a-Lago home.
He says that threats against federal agents and the Justice Department are deplorable and dangerous.
How many of those threats are planted by the FBI themselves? We have said the entire time, 'Remain peaceful.' We do not put up with violent acts.
Now there's a new report that shows someone is attacking the FBI building in Cincinnati. Interstate 171-North is shut down after a suspect drove towards Waynesville, Ohio. Unconfirmed reports say he is now firing at police from a cornfield.
Now, I'm sure this will now be the main focus, even though we have said repeatedly to remain peaceful, and stay focused on constructive things that we can do.
They're now going to try to play the victim after they occupied Donald Trump's home—a military occupation. Look, let me be very clear: violence against law enforcement is not tolerated. We shouldn't talk—we shouldn't allow it. We shouldn't even get close to encouraging it.
But that cannot allow us to keep our eye off the ball of exactly what happened earlier this week. This is the main focus now of the media.
The media is now saying, 'Well, do you see how the right is reacting to all of this?'"
"Right after the raid at Trump's Mar-a-Lago home, the next morning, you got the FBI on all the major lamestream networks saying, 'Oh, the chat's up and the Google searches are up for attacking the FBI and civil war and blah, blah, blah.' And then the next day, a guy who we can't find Jack squat about, is killed, because he allegedly went in with a nail gun," said OAN host Dan Ball, agreeing with his guest that the attack on Cincinnati's FBI office was a "hoax."
In April, Ball called for every mainstream media CEO and on-air host to face a "military tribunal" for treason.
Before that, he suggested that Ukraine is bombing its own hospitals.
And before that, he asked viewers to send him "dirt" on the chairman of AT&T after DirecTV decided to stop carrying the network.
Previously, he claimed that "thousands of people" have died from COVID vaccines.
Ball recently called for the US to “invade Mexico.”

"The FBI is blatantly targeting our fellow Americans for their political beliefs. The bureau's reputation has been shattered.My faith in an organization—I'll be honest, I had two family members, they were a deity in my family because they worked for this organization—I revered this organization for decades of my life.
If you listen to my radio show, watch this show, you know my love of law enforcement, it has now been pretty much utterly destroyed."
The marching order have gone out to try to discredit the FBI:

Tucker Carlson suggests that the FBI planted the bomb outside the DNC as a false flag:"But, the truth is there are still questions about the FBI's behavior on and around January 6th. And given what happened in Michigan, where we know beyond question that the FBI tried to create an act of terror, it's fair to ask, 'What exactly did happen on January 6th?'
And why is the FBI still hiding footage, critically, of the person who planted a pipe bomb outside the DNC on January 6th while Kamala Harris was apparently inside, something that she lied about for months. What exactly is going on here?
We're, of course, not alleging anything. We don't know the answer. But we know for a fact, given the FBI's behavior, and we report this with great sadness, over the last several years, it is worth getting to the bottom of this. In fact, we have to if we're going to restore confidence in federal law enforcement."
Fox News: Espionage Act Does Not Apply to Presidents

Rand Paul just called for the repeal of the Espionage Act.
Right on cue, Fox News host Mark Levin said on his podcast yesterday that the Espionage Act does not apply to presidents:
"Trump was out of office for a mere 12 months when the issues arose about these particular boxes, it may have been earlier.
Multi-millions of pages of Trump administration documents are with the Archives. So these documents likely in and around his office, etcetera, went to Mar-a-Lago.
Now as president, when he made the decision to remove them to Mar-A-Lago—if in fact he did and not the GSA—that would remove any application of the Espionage Act—period.
I understand former prosecutors don't look at it this way, but they're wrong. The law was never intended to apply to a sitting or former president.
Now remember, the Espionage Act is much, much broader than just the handling of classified documents.
It deals with information, which of course, the former president retains in his head. Now, his subordinates have no constitutional protection."
Rainbow Flag Killer Identified as Christian Extremist
Tributes are pouring in for a beloved California business owner who was shot dead by a man who complained about a Pride flag hanging at her store.
Laura Ann Carleton, 66, was killed outside of her Mag.Pi clothing store in Cedar Glen by a suspect who made "several disparaging remarks about a rainbow flag that stood outside the store," the San Bernardino Sheriff's Office said.
The man who killer her was later shot dead in a confrontation with officers. Deputies responded to the incident around 5:00 p.m. on Friday following reports of shots being fired. The mother of nine children was pronounced dead at the scene, the sheriff's office said in a statement.
The shooter has been identified as Travis Ikeguchi, 27, who has posted a prolific amount of anti-LGBTQ content on social media.
Man Shot at His Neighbors for Being Gay
A man shot at his neighbors for being gay, saying in part, "I hope you ******* die," according to documents obtained Monday. Larry Walraven, 75, faces a charge of assault with a deadly weapon with a hate crime enhancement, records showed.
On April 25th, Walraven shot at his neighbor "due to their sexual orientation," documents said. "After Walraven pointed the handgun, he fired four rounds at the victim with none of the rounds making contact with him."
Walraven is already on parole for a habitual criminal offense, records showed. Because of this parole violation, Walraven will remain in custody without bail.
Terrorist Killed in Standoff with S.W.A.T. Team During Livestream
The Aroostook County man who was killed by police late Monday following an hours-long standoff—in which he shot an officer and a police dog while holding his 4-week-old daughter captive—posted a video on social media during the ordeal, in which he could be seen holding a rifle with a scope, and explaining that he was resisting authorities, because he opposed Maine's abortion and gay rights laws.
Police have said they got into the standoff with Steven Righini, 29, of Portage Lake after a woman reported that he had pushed her into a wall on Monday morning. When they arrived, the woman had left the house, but Righini was still inside with their infant child.
"I'm here. My name is Steven Righini. I am a resident of Maine, and I had the cops called on me," he said in the video. "A S.W.A.T. team showed up, and I am now engaged in a shootout." At another point, he said, "Now they're trying to arrest me, simply because I do not believe in gay rights and abortion."
