America: Can you just go ahead and release the files? This is beyond ridiculous.
FBI: Sorry, we've got Dems to hunt and local state matters to get involved in. Because we love small government and hate the deep state so much.
I'm mostly worried/concerned, but part of me is morbidly curious to see exactly how deep into the military toolbox they're willing to go, and how they justify government overreach when they're the ones doing it.
Facial recognition, license plate scanning, or just plain old fashioned cell phone tracking like they used for Comey? Will they bust out that new x-ray vision through the wall surveillance tech to hunt down Dems for doing the same thing Republicans have done in the past?
How will they explain the cost to tax payers? The old that was then, this is now? (I know they won't bother to acknowledge how much this will cost in manpower, but it's fun to pretend). Would they just blame it on the Dems for making them hunt them down?
I'm most curious to see what kind of showdown there is when the feds show up in Chicago to take these people into custody.
