2) Cardinal Vigano is one of the wisest international leaders alive. He has been privy to unusual high-level, confidential information. He was the pope's ambassador to Washington. His October 2020 letter to President Trump is extraordinary. Excerpts follow.
3 Cardinal Vigano: 'the forces of Evil aligned in a battle without quarter against the forces of Good; forces of Evil that appear powerful and organized as they oppose the children of Light, who are disoriented and disorganized, abandoned by their temporal and spiritual leaders.'
1) A letter from Samuel Adams in 1778 shows that America’s Founding Fathers required foreigners to receive permission from their intended state of residence before the US would issue a visa.
2) In a letter to James Bowdoin dated September 3, 1778, Samuel Adams wrote from the capital, Philadelphia, about a Mr. Temple. Temple had just arrived in New York from Great Britain. He sought to reside in Boston with his family and to travel to Philadelphia.
3) Adams wrote, “Congress …ordered the Secretary to inform Mr Temple, that if it was his intention to reside in any one of the United States, the same should be signified by him to the State in which he intends to reside …”
Our crack FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force busted these ladies who are charged with trespassing, disorderly conduct, and unlawful parading, among other crimes.
While preparing them for prosecution, the FBI cleared a foreign jihadist to enter the USA & take over a Texas synagogue.
Sorry, 240 characters made second sentence awkward. It should say, "While preparing them for prosecution, the FBI cleared a foreign jihadist to enter the USA whereupon he took over a Texas synagogue."
That's the same FBI field office, by the way, that ran gangster Whitey Bulger as a confidential human source while Bulger was capo of a notorious organized crime and murder racket.
Now @FBIBoston is bravely battling harmless ladies as if they were terrorists. Something's wrong.
FBI often drops confidential human sources (CHS) once they become politically controversial. Identification of CHS’s is so closely controlled that it would not be hard for case agents, their supervisors, and the CHS management departments to conceal the records from scrutiny.
When the FBI authorizes a CHS to do something illegal (buy drugs, engage in kidnapping plot, incite someone, etc.), it must be approved at a high level in a field office. This is known as an "Otherwise Illegal Activity," or OAI, which is a strictly managed and recorded process.
The FBI gives OAI approval for a specific CHS to commit specific (authorized) crimes as part of a specific investigation.
There is an established, legal procedure for this as "bait" to entrap or otherwise compromise the target of a criminal or national security investigation.
There are legitimate national security/law enforcement reasons for the FBI publicly to decline to give specifics like numbers and types of FBI agents and assets, times and locations, etc.
It is NOT legitimate for FBI not answer "yes" or "no" to questions like @SenTedCruz asked.
@SenTedCruz Coming after the Justice Department's 4-1/2 month lag in responding to senators' requests for specific information, then not answering the questions in the letter that was finally sent, the FBI's non-response to Senator Cruz shows big problems remain at Headquarters.
