Today at the American Thinker John Deitrich discusses The Murder of Bryan Malinowski, the Executive Director of the Bill and Hillary Clinton Airport in Little Rock, Arkansas. He was the highest paid local employee earning $260,000 per year. Do you think he was illegally selling guns because he needed the bread?
On March 19, the ATF, accompanied by members of the Little Rock Police Department, raided the home of Bryan Malinowski. Malinowski was the executive director of the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in Little Rock. He had no criminal record and did not even know that he was under investigation. The announced reason for the raid was to execute a search warrant. The actual reason was to deliver a message to American gun owners that the ATF has the power to end their lives. This was an example of premeditated murder. A week prior to the raid, the ATF had assembled to carry out the raid; this raid was canceled allegedly because Malinowski was not home, and it was necessary for him to be there in order for him to set an example.
There are numerous reasons to why this raid appears to be an execution. Ten vehicles pulled up to Malinowski’s home. At 06:02:46 a.m., an hour before sunup, agents in full SWAT gear approached the front door. An agent put a piece of tape over the doorbell camera lens. According to Rep. Jim Jordan, the ATF also apparently killed electricity to the home. None of the government participants were wearing required body cameras. This was a "no knock” raid. Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco wrote a directive limiting the circumstances in which agents may seek to enter dwelling pursuant to a warrant without complying with the knock and announce rule because of the risk posed to both law enforcement and civilians. This requirement was announced two years ago. Agents knocked down Malinowski’s front door. Malinowski awoke, loaded a pistol and headed for the front door. He reportedly fired a few shots at the intruder’s feet to drive them back out the front door. An ATF agent was hit in the foot during this effort. The ATF responded by shooting Malinowski in the head. The entire affair lasted only 57 seconds. At 06:03:43 a.m. agents dragged Mrs. Malinowski into the front yard. She was barefoot and wearing her night clothing. The temperature was 34 degrees. They locked her in the backseat of a car and detained her there for four hours while refusing to allow her to use a neighbor’s bathroom. The humiliation of spouses is apparently an integral part of this process.
Gentle readers can, and should read the whole thing. The news of Malinkowski's murder at the hands of the ATF have been bubbling in the gun rights community for a while now. As noted, Congress is investigating, but I at least have little faith in Congressional investigations leading to anything like justice. But the point of bringing up the Malinowski murder is to ask, as does Patricia McCarthy Why do our FBI agents so regularly abuse their power?, because it is clearly not just the FBI, but the entire bureaucracy. As one who used to be part of that bureaucracy, I have to ask what the hell happened?
The American people are learning by dribs and drabs that the raid on Mar-a-Lago was not only unconstitutional, it was a set-up, an attempt to frame former President Trump for having documents illegally stored there. The set-up proves the lie. Both the National Archives and the FBI knew said documents, which Trump was legally allowed to have, were carefully stored in a locked storage room. Many of those boxes were packed and sent there by the National Archives; they likely knew what was in those boxes better than Trump did. In short, it was a Gestapo-like ploy to both incriminate and humiliate Donald Trump. As the truth of the raid leaks out (such as the authorization of lethal force) thanks to Judge Cannon who has ordered Jack Smith’s redactions unredacted, it is becoming clearer and clearer that it is the FBI and the National Archives working with the Biden administration that plotted to create a situation by which they could indict Trump. Jack Smith, a known legal thug who has no respect for the actual law, was then appointed, illegally and unconfirmed by the Senate, to prosecute Trump and convict by any means necessary. That case seems to be falling apart. It was a farce from the outset and Judge Cannon is allowing the American people to see just how much of a farce by releasing unredacted Smith documents.
The raid on Mar-a-Lago in August 2022 is hardly the only example of FBI skullduggery. They raided hundreds of persons who were in attendance at the Capitol on January 6, 2021 in much the same way — fifteen to twenty agents, armed with all manner of weapons. They are still raiding and arresting people who were simply there. Hundreds of such people have been similarly raided, arrested, over-charged, sentenced, and imprisoned for made-up crimes like “parading.” Those Americans, several of whom have committed suicide, are being treated as horribly as one might be treated in any third world nation. They are denied medical care, put in solitary confinement, given substandard food, maybe even tortured by vicious prison guards. The FBI raided and abused the family of pro-life activist Mark Houck, for having shoved a man who accosted his son while peacefully protesting across the street from an abortion clinic. The FBI has long been abusing its power to the point that it has become something like Hitler’s Brownshirts or Stalin’s NKVD who were charged with carrying out the Great Purge.

It isn’t just the FBI that abuses its power in what is now known to be the deep state. So does the DOJ. Merrick Garland is perhaps the most unscrupulous of all. He should be held in contempt for all sorts of abuses. As we can all see, the Democrats’ use of lawfare to destroy Biden’s opponent is obviously illegal and unconstitutional. Judges Kaplan, Engoran, and Merchan have shown themselves to be extreme partisans, not unbiased jurists. Whether or not they’ve each been bought, as in paid off, to blatantly expose their own abuses of power for all to see, the fact is that there has been no justice deployed when it comes to Trump. The explosion of lawfare that has been launched against Donald Trump has exposed the criminality of the deep state like no other era in U.S. history. The left hates and fears an outsider, any person who may not capitulate to their corrupt way of doing things.
So, you see, it is not just the FBI, or the ATF, but the whole Democrat party. I would suggest outlawing the party, but that wouldn't change things. They would just change their name and continue as before. Nor does it do to disband the FBI, or the ATF. The problem is that these people are doing the devil's work. Our first problem is to find honest people, and second, to put in place both incentives to be honest and swift, sure consequences for denying people their rights. Actually, we already have it:
Title 18, U.S.C., Section 242 - Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law This statute makes it a crime for any person acting under color of law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom to willfully deprive or cause to be deprived from any person those rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution and laws of the U.S.
This law further prohibits a person acting under color of law, statute, ordinance, regulation or custom to willfully subject or cause to be subjected any person to different punishments, pains, or penalties, than those prescribed for punishment of citizens on account of such person being an alien or by reason of his/her color or race.
Acts under "color of any law" include acts not only done by federal, state, or local officials within the bounds or limits of their lawful authority, but also acts done without and beyond the bounds of their lawful authority; provided that, in order for unlawful acts of any official to be done under "color of any law," the unlawful acts must be done while such official is purporting or pretending to act in the performance of his/her official duties. This definition includes, in addition to law enforcement officials, individuals such as Mayors, Council persons, Judges, Nursing Home Proprietors, Security Guards, etc., persons who are bound by laws, statutes ordinances, or customs.
Punishment varies from a fine or imprisonment of up to one year, or both, and if bodily injury results or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire shall be fined or imprisoned up to ten years or both, and if death results, or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.
It is just not being used, like the Constitution.
