You to dismissal; 8) a search warrant was the preferred course of action even if an exception applied; 9) we had to follow and uphold the constitution and 10) we had to show photo credentials identifying ourselves when we questioned anyone. Lord how much has changed.

excessive force; 4) I must render aid to the injured; 5) deadly force is only authorized if the subject of said force posed an imminent risk to me or others of serious bodily injury; 6) I needed to get approval from the US Attorney's Office to make warrantless arrests; 7) lying under oath subjected

True. This Administration will do the same, but there is no SOL for murder. If an indictment is made, the Feds will remove it to Fed Court to broaden the jury pool. Still a decent chance for a conviction based on video.

That's all? I would imagine if the President I voted for sent masked agents to tackle and detain people who looked like me, solely because they looked like me, I would regret my vote 100% of the time.

I have no clue what that means in this context. They hired us to follow the rules and be faithful to the law and constitution, so trying to manipulate the polygraph was antithetical to the job. Additionally, it's not like they couldn't detect the technics to alter a polygraph.

You apparently have never been subjected to a polygraph...

Only a small handful of elected Democrats ever advocated for "defund the police", but right wing media attached it to every Democrat, even those who were full throated against it. In the future, the GOP/Fox will make up something stupid and attach it to Democrats. They are merchants of mendacity.

Not to nitpick, but this looks like they are hiring drivers and guards and not the position similar to agents...not that the agents are world-class at the present.

Is it really unpopular? I thought it was fairly mainstream...though not universally agreed upon. In hindsight it was clearly the wrong decision.

Next you are going to write about Ruth Bader Ginsburg's determination to stay on the Supreme Court despite the Pancreatic Cancer because she alone knew the key to justice in America. Let's face it that great people held on too long and our Nation is on the brink as a result.

I assume they filed a criminal complaint. We will see if a Grand Jury will indict.

As another commentator remarked, Tradecraft is the word intelligence officers use to describe how to communicate in a clandestine fashion. We learned all about it at the FBI Academy.

Ok, there may be a 20-year Max sentence, but in my experience, it is very rare to get a judge to give that. A lot depends on the sentencing guidelines. A lot of judges go way under. I investigated and charged a guy who stole over $5 million from Augusta National...he got 1 year in prison.

I spent 3 months working and living in Oklahoma. Probably the worst State that I have spent a lot of time in. They are religiously Republican despite being bottom 5 in education and wealth. Meth filled towns big and small. Losers. But hey don't vote for Democrats....

I do have a caveat on further review. It is not 100% clear that your guest was an actual agent. Intel analysts can be section chiefs but are not sworn 1811 law enforcement and would not qualify for the special retirement after 20 years.

Yes, almost no one ever quits at that point in their career. The FBI has a historically extremely high job retention rate. If people leave, it is usually within the first 5 years.

Leaving the FBI after 17 years is really making a statement because you need 20 to get your 1811 pension, which includes generous health care benefits. Most people stick it out at that point. I left as well in anticipation of what was to come, but I was already vested.
