Editors at Issues and Insights highlight bad news for one of the nation’s best-known law enforcement agencies.
We have been writing about the weaponization of government under the Obama and Biden regimes for many years, but even we were shocked by the two revelations of FBI corruption this week, neither of which has received the attention that both deserve.
On Sunday, Just the News reported on evidence it had obtained of how the FBI actively thwarted an investigation into the Clinton Foundation in the run-up to the 2016 election. On Tuesday, it reported newly disclosed evidence that the FBI ignored concerns about not having probable cause to mount its unprecedented raid on Donald Trump’s home in August 2022.
The fact that the chief federal law enforcement agency was subverting the law for obvious partisan reasons is a scandal almost without precedent. The fact that we are learning about the full extent of these abuses only years later makes it all the worse.
Here’s how Just the News reported the news about the Clinton Foundation.
“A top Republican senator has provided Just the News a timeline written by FBI investigators laying out the repeated political obstruction those agents faced from their own bosses and the Justice Department during the 2016 election and beyond as they probed whether Hillary Clinton engaged in a pay-to-play corruption scheme involving her family foundation.” …

… [P]ut them together, and they are worse than a miscarriage of justice. They are an attack on the very fabric of our republic. They are the workings of a police state that Democrats want to create to keep themselves in power and their political opponents in jail.
