march 26 2023 The new House oversight committee investigating the political weaponization of the Justice Department may want to bring on some additional staff and start putting in some overtime. Every new story that comes out about the FBI’s actions in recent years makes the Bureau look worse and worse.
The latest story posted by our colleagues at PJ Media involves the ongoing “seditious conspiracy” charges being brought against leaders and members of the Proud Boys. The trial of chapter leader Zach Rehl was preparing to call a witness this week, but ran into a problem. Their “witness” turned out to be a confidential informant for the FBI who had been spying on the defense team. That brought the trial to a screeching halt “until these issues have been considered and resolved.” That’s putting it mildly, to say the least.
There’s nothing inherently wrong with law enforcement using paid informants to gather information. But those informants are supposed to be reporting the presumed illegal actions of others. They are not supposed to be the ones planning illegal activity and they are most certainly not supposed to be spying on defense teams as they prepare to go to trial.
This is all too reminiscent of the supposed “kidnapping plot” against Gretchen Whitmer. The FBI’s people involved in that scheme outnumbered the supposed MAGA bros who were coaxed into it. The informants were the ones who came up with the supposed “bomb” that was to be used to blow up a bridge and basically directed the group’s activities in scoping out the scene of the proposed kidnapping. And yet they still somehow managed to come up with a few convictions out of it.
