Yep, been meanin' to get around to fixin' that, Ma: "‘Long Overdue’: Rep. Elise Stefanik Confirms Investigation Of FBI’s Role In Deadly Limo Crash".
Took them long enough. See if you can spot the potential flaw in the approach to this investigation.
New York Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik confirmed Monday the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) will investigate its own potential role in a fatal 2018 limousine crash in Schoharie, New York.
"Gonna get right on that crash investigation, Ma, soon as I fix the loose board on the front porch and oil the hinges on the barn door. Of course, since it was some of our boys, I reckon everything will turn out all right."
Okay, Paco, I kinda remember watching one or two of the Ma & Pa Kettle movies, but that was a long time ago. Give me the skinny on why the FBI is 'the Pa Kettle of federal investigative agencies'. I'm stumped.
ReplyDeleteThe FBI did a whoopsie in 2018 and they're finally investigating it now, R-Man.
ReplyDeleteCalling them lazy like Pa Kettle is generous, as Paco satirically implies.
Our betters have ways to bury their malfeasance, as we see more and more.
R-man: Pa Kettle was famous for not doing the things he was supposed to do. The FBI has acquired quite a bit of notoriety for not doing a lot of the things they're supposed to do: such as keeping a closer eye on suspicious people on their watch lists, and failing to investigate sexual abuse by Dr. Larry Nasser, and, in the case referenced above, not getting around to taking a look at their role (albeit, apparently, an indirect one) in that monster crash.
ReplyDeleteAs Bruce points out, with the FBI, it's not all related to mere laziness; there are other motives, as well. But with the FBI, as with Pa Kettle, there's the undeniable aspect of letting things slide, regardless of actual motive.
So the FBI isgoing to investigate itself?
ReplyDeleteI totally trust them to do that!
Oh, totally. I mean, they're G-Men and s**t. Regular Boy Scouts.
ReplyDeleteOh, I see. Thanks.
