A lie by any other name....

An opinion article from The Spectator, which is a purely opinion magazine I believe. 

This piece concerns the FBI.  Take a few moments and read, if you wish.

"Back in June, it transpires, the FBI raided the Pennsylvania home of one Robert Morss, an army vet and sometime social studies teacher. Among the incriminating evidence recovered was a ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ flag and — I quote from the charging document — a ‘fully constructed Capitol Lego set’.

Morss was arrested, and still languishes in jail, because he showed up at the Capitol on January 6. (Whether, as Assistant US Attorney Melissa Jackson claimed in her detention memo, it is ‘difficult to fathom a more serious danger to the community’ than Robert Morss is perhaps open to cavil. I have quite a few candidates.)

But what about that ‘fully constructed Capitol Lego set’? At some point, the FBI released an addendum to its initial bulletin about Morss. ‘Please note that after a review of the photographs from the search, there appears to have been a miscommunication [!] and that the statement appears to be inaccurate.’ It turns out the model wasn’t ‘fully constructed’ after all. It was still in its box."

I will now offer MY opinion.  Writing up a charging document (We think Mr. X should languish in prison because of facts Y and Z) before a judge that lists 'Facts' created strictly from imagination  is what we simple people call 'Lies'.

You know.... prevarication, falsehoods, bullshit, fantasy, and in this case damned lies indeed.  The case is completely political, with any crimes themselves deeply in question, and the full weight of the Stasi... um.... I mean the FBI.... coming down on people who question their veracity.

So..... if they lie about little details like this, what else do they lie about?  What whoppers have they told us, judges, and juries?

I long for a judge who see's things like this, and bodily throws the agents into prison for contempt of court while dismissing the governments case.
