UPDATE BELOW:
Not a peep in most of the media but this sounds like a big deal. From the Dallas/Fort Worth NBC affiliate:
FBI Confirm Search Near Texas Home of US Rep. Henry Cuellar
FBI agents searched near the Texas home of U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar on Wednesday as they conducted what an agency spokeswoman called “court-authorized law enforcement activity.”
The motive and scope of the search was not immediately known. But a reporter for The Monitor of McAllen, Texas, which first reported the operation, reported from the scene that more than a dozen federal agents were seen passing in and out of Cuellar’s home bearing cases and other items.
“The FBI was present in the vicinity of Windridge Drive and Estate Drive in Laredo conducting court-authorized law enforcement activity,” spokeswoman Rosanne Hughes said. “The FBI cannot provide further comment on an ongoing investigation.”
Big investigation but no comment.
Of course, Mr. Cuellar is a Democrat. Figures...
UPDATE: Sundance has it figured out. Mr. Cuellar has been very VERY critical of *Resident Biden's policy on the Southern Border. Rep. Cuellar's district:
Prominent Democrat, Publicly Critical of Joe Biden Border Policy, Gets a Visit from FBI Jackboots
The political motives behind this FBI effort are, yet again, brutally transparent. The FBI are for Joe Biden what the Russian FSB is for Vladimir Putin. That’s what they are. That’s all they are. That’s what they do.
How many dozens of examples does it take before people realize the FBI are criminal enforcers targeting any voices who rise in opposition to the DC system?
Seriously, when is enough, enough? This should be a bipartisan issue.
They were never fully under legislative control but Obama turned them into our version of the Stasi. J. Edgar Hoover (FBI founder and chief) used to keep dossiers on prominent politicians. If they threatened his domain, an unmarked envelope with some photographs would suddenly appear on their desktop. Time for this agency to have their funding cut by 70% and for their office to be moved to Gary, Indiana. Away from the centers of power.
