I'll never forget that image and the use of fellow Marines as props in his speech. They being at parade rest with hands in front has also been seen by every Marine I know as a sign of distress or disagreement.

I, never being a Marine, have heard that from others who have. Was told they were saying without saying.

Let me add to this: If the FBI comes to your doorstep or just gives you a phone call and asks you to come meet with them, do not answer questions without first contacting an attorney.
 

They are not there to listen to your side and include it in their decision-making. Usually the decision re how to deal with you has already been made. They are there to gather additional evidence in the form of any statement you might make.
 

You don't know what they already have -- and more importantly you don't know what they DON'T HAVE.

 

The reason for wanting to get you to talk is to fill in gaps where they lack evidence. They will fill in those gaps with your own statements during questioning.
 

You also don't know if they already have evidence re the questions they are asking. What they are doing in that regard is trying to see if you will lie to them. That will give them leverage to use against you later.
 

This is why you should never answer questions posed by the FBI in a surprise visit you are not expecting.
 

Same advice if they come with a search warrant. You have to let them search -- but you do not need to talk to them or answer questions.
 

They are not there to be fair. They are there to gather evidence. Your answers to their questions is evidence and you are adding to the case they are trying to make when you give them information.

Or just don't answer their questions period. They can't make you talk to them.

What Peter Strzok and Nicolle Wallace Say About FBI Unit to Protect Agents From Americans Is Astonishing

By Nick Arama

One of the things that has been most concerning about the weaponization of government has been the revelations from FBI whistleblowers revealing how political everything has become. 

 

Now, according to NBC, the FBI has created a standalone unit to deal with "threats and harassment by people who think they haven’t been tough enough on the president’s son." 

 

They also talk about threats that have: 

Quote

 

They also talk about threats that have: coincided with attacks on the FBI and the Justice Department by congressional Republicans and former President Donald Trump, who have accused both agencies of participating in a conspiracy to subvert justice amid two federal indictments of Trump.

 

 

So, read that again. They've created a unit to investigate "threats," and the media is attaching it to Republicans raising questions about the two-tier system of justice.

 

Oh, that's not going to be problematic at all, that doesn't smack of further politicization at all.

And he's thinking "our work is done."

When she compared them to the KGB!
 

 

 

One important difference:  

 

DOJ grinds you into the ground with endless prosecution.

 

The KGB...they just shot you and billed your family for the bullet.

The end result is still the same, your life is completely destroyed by an authoritarian regime

End result's different.  The KGB saved a lot of money.
