No. You're an idiot who believed a conman and committed treason against the constitution you swore an oath to defend.

You're not being targeted for your political beliefs, you fucking traitor. You're being targeted because you acted on those beliefs.

Indeed, those aren’t photographs of beliefs.

Seriously, it's not the beliefs, it's the actions.

Did he turn traitor before or after leaving the agency? It looks pretty bad - like he was trying to overthrow the government and install a Russian asset as dictator. I wonder if he also sold state secrets to America's enemies?

Nazis should be targeted for their political beliefs. That's what we did back in the 1940s.

It's what they want to do to anyone not them, so why should we tolerate them in return?

Incredible that the Nazis are back, smh...

Just like they came after me for my curiosity in biology when I vivisected my neighbors' cat.

The FBI never sought to interview Wise, as seems to have been done with many Jan. 6 suspects, the document said.

The agency shouldn’t investigate itself. He should be investigated by a third-party. Nothing unusual here.

The FBI has internal watchdogs
