  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

To be clear:

These are the FBI agents who didn't lose their jobs because they refused to sign a loyalty pledge to a president (as opposed to the country), right?

And these are the people I'm actually supposed to believe because they are reasonable people?

golly, MAGA is easy to fool because they never go into detail.
the topic the article is
The FBI had a total of 274 agents deployed to the Capitol in plainclothes and with guns after the violence started but with no clear safety gear of way to be recognized by other law enforcement agencies working in the chaos of the riot.

This did not go well and there were lots of complaints in the after action report,
some comments from the report that run counter to the MAGA narrative the FBI caused the riots.

Comment 3#
The conspiracy to commit crimes at the Capitol on January 6th, were also committed by bad actors during the summer riots of 2020 leading up to the election on November 3, 2020.

Comment 4#
I want to be clear so it’s not misconstrued, both the summer riots of 2020 and the Capitol Riot were repulsive. The FBI’s response to one and not the other is unacceptable in an organization that is supposed to be independent and apolitical.

No doubt we saw some weird, biased and even illegal stuff during Biden. I do hope they sort it out and give fair trials to those who have criminal wrongdoing. However, I worry we have a new sheriff that is even more determined to force an agenda. Did Homan accept a Bribe? Did the UAE buy Trump crypto because they got the chips they wanted? Is the President of Columbia right about the first boat that was blown up, that it contained youths who were not drug dealers? (no release of names or evidence that I know of) We do know the second or third boat had 1000 kg of cocaine as the Dominican Republic assisted with the aftermath. Why was the DOJ searching files on Federal Reserve Personnel? Did they force Adrianna Kuglar to resign? Is the fight against the second Fed Governor true about her mortgages? Why is inflation up and not down? Are Ice detention facilities up to decent standards? Trump is going at breakneck speed compared to Biden, but he is doing lots of questionable things too.

Please read the details in the provided articles.
I did.
After officials saw how chaotic it was, they got agents to go there.
What’s “bad” about that?

The FBI agents said that they were being used as political pawns.

No

They said this back in 2021.

But they're saying it NOW right? The loyalty signers?
Read the article to answer your question. They are NOT "loyalty signers" no matter how much you might appear to want them to be.

On January 6, 2021, President Trump was in the White House. Every cabinet member serving on that day had been appointed by President Trump, including then-FBI Director Christopher Wray.

Are you suggesting that all of the political appointees in the Trump administration utilized the FBI for political purposes on January 6, 2021?

Well trump made them sign a loyalty pledge because loyalty to the country wasn't good enough

It's not me with my head in the sand.

It's so objectionable you'll just ignore the idea.

That's what trump does to his suporters; deny reality.
