2/ don't take my word for it, here's a criminal defense attorney and a former police officer walking through all the reasons you should not talk to the police, and every point these guys make in the lecture is one thousand times more relevant when it comes to the #FBI / #DOJ under #KashPatel and #PamBondi.

the lecture includes a helpful example where the lawyer successfully entraps most of the class into saying things that could land you in prison if you were talking to the FBI. it's not hard.

the #FBI is now officially visiting the homes of people spotted at protests like #NoKings, #ICE, etc.

it boggles the mind that there are people at #protests in america who, upon finding #FBI agents at their door asking “do you have a few minutes to talk about the protests?” answer with anything other than “do you have a warrant?” followed by a polite request that they leave your property.

this isn’t complicated. you need to shut the fuck up. the #5thAmendment exists for a reason. shutting the fuck up cannot be used against you, for any reason, ever. not shutting the fuck up will never help you. it can only hurt you.

any false statement to the FBI can be charged as a crime. even if you just forgot. even if you mix up the order of events. even if you tell the truth but the agents find another person whose story contradicts yours. even if you tell the truth but the agents misrember what you said (!!!)

talking to the FBI is much more legally perilous than talking to the police (and you shouldn’t do that either) and talking to Kash Patel's FBI is far worse than talking to the old FBI.

i know it’s hard. you want to be helpful. you want to explain yourself. it’s a very natural human thing and that’s exactly what they’re going to use against you. so here’s a helpful script you can follow: youtube.com/watch?v=uqo5RYOp4nQ

literally every single lawyer in the united states will tell you exactly what i’m telling you now. tell a friend. tell all your friends. tell random people you see on the street.

and shut. the. fuck. up.

#ToddBlanche led Trump’s #criminal defense against the prosecutions for which #Trump is now demanding payment. #StanWoodward has represented a number of Trump aides, including Trump’s co-defendant in the Mar-a-Lago case…& the current #FBI dir, #KashPatel.

Trump’s apparent confidence that he will be able to secure the money speaks to the control he has secured over the #DOJ. He is, fundamentally, instructing his subordinates to place an enormous chunk of public funds into his own bank account.

"The co-writer of Virginia Giuffre's memoir has said it would be a mistake to think "the fetishisation of young girls" died with Jeffrey Epstein, as she detailed how Prince Andrew could still help with the investigation."

"Rep. Ro Khanna discusses with Joanna Coles the fight for the release of the #Epsteinfiles, including the photos of #Trump and #Epstein with topless women, and the backlash towards the Republicans that support this fight.
Plus, the two talk about Trump possibly pardoning #GhislaineMaxwell and the significance of #ToddBlanche, who was formerly Trump's personal lawyer, meeting with Maxwell."

The total amount of #FBI #resources devoted to immigration is probably higher than even the 25% figure. The FBI reassignment data Warner obtained reflects the number of agents working on immigration at least 50% of their time. It does not account for scores of other agents who have been detailed to #immigration enforcement a lesser portion of their time.

The large number of reassignments reflect a vast reshaping of the nation’s premier #LawEnforcement agency, which has focused on #NationalSecurity threats since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The intense focus on #immigration has raised alarm among current & former #FBI agents who say morale is low across the bureau as agents have less time to dedicate to the often complex cases they were hired to work on.

A quarter of #FBI agents are assigned to #immigration enforcement, per FBI data

Nearly 25% of FBI agents across the country are currently assigned to immigration enforcement, with the number climbing to upward of 40% in the nation’s largest field offices, according to data from the FBI obtained by Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-Virginia) & shared with The Washington Post.

Not sure how much more of this I can watch. It’s kind of pointless.

Bondi, like the #FBI director #KashPatel, is attempting to turn Democrats’ questioning on the committee into high-volume political theater. The attorney general has shouted herself hoarse after only a few minutes of questioning. She has refused to answer any questions about her decision-making on the #Epstein investigation and other matters.
