Respecting the Rule of Law

 I have 2 friends in the FBI - they are noble and country loving people. I saw the FBI in action during my military years do what is right for America - per their oath.


I have friends who wear the blue - honorable people who defend us daily at the risk of their lives and for less money than people far less likely to ever save me make.

Can there be corrupt people - yes.
Might they be at elevated levels - history says so.
But history also tells us not to assume that we know all the facts...
 
> Theodore Roosevelt established the bureau in 1908 and was accused of doing it to spy on other politicians. He said: "Yes because some of you are criminals." and they were.
THIS WAS GOOD

> The bureau became involved in that acutely political phenomenon of 1919-'20, the (first) Red Scare. Going in a conservative direction that is associated with the leadership of J. Edgar Hoover, who directed the anti-radical division before heading the bureau from 1924 until his death in 1972. Inclusive of Martin Luther King.
THIS WAS BAD

> Recently James Comey affected the 2020 election by implicating Hillary Clinton
THIS WAS JUST STUPID

My point is that leadership, and those in the law, can and do make mistakes, they also sometimes get it right. But WE won't know until all the information is out and for us to yell - defund the FBI and eliminate the DOJ. is wrong and irresponsible

Are there bad police, bad FBI agents? - likely - the police and FBI is made of people and people, well sometimes have biases/issues. But we shouldn't yell - destroy the Police like Marjorie Taylor Greene is doing to the FBI.

We wait, we listen, we the people seek the truth and abide by rule of law. We must not be the SENSELESS MOB reacting and ready to lynch someone. We're supposed to be better than that as, religious people, as Americans.

And IF... IF... we find misconduct - we work to change it under the rule of that very same law that was misused by those who abused their power.  We hear this all the time: "No one is above the law."  It isn't always true, but we strive to get it as close to true as possible.
We must not be the senseless mob.
