Notable quotes

“It's hard to keep the spark alive when it is always FBI and not FBUS”
— Stephen Colbert
“The FBI is not permitted to confirm or deny an investigation.”
— FBI spokesman Brett Banner as quoted in "Wisconsin Republican Party says hackers stole $2.3 million", Los Angeles Times, (October 29, 2020)
“Read about Ruby Ridge. The FBI entrapped a guy into selling a shotgun with a 16” barrel. During a late night raid they murdered a 14 year old boy. Then they murdered a woman as she held a baby. Sniper shot her. She was unarmed. These are horribly evil people. Demons, all of them.”
— Mike Cernovich, Twitter, 5:43 AM · Apr 9, 2022
“Reports of the FBI being involved in Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer's kidnapping plot and of FBI agents and assets being involved in the January 6th events has collapsed whatever level of trust the public had with federal law enforcement, not to mention the mainstream media whose related coverage rarely digs deeper than the government's official line.”
— John Kline, It's Time We Get Answers About the FBI's Involvement In the OKC Bombing, The Libertarian Institute, 27 April 2022
“SNCC workers have found that F.B.I. men in the South often share the segregationist views of the people around them; this is reflected in the lack of enthusiasm which F.B.I. men show in handling civil rights cases. Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer once told an F.B.I. agent, "If I get to heaven and I see you there, I will tell St. Peter to send me on back to Mississippi!"”
— Howard Zinn SNCC: The New Abolitionists (1964)
