The FBI has a growing scandal on their hands.
One of their agents was secretly taking guns away.
And now the FBI is in major trouble as the truth gets out.
The FBI is extremely confused about why their popularity ratings with the public have been plummeting lately.
People simply do not trust them, and the agency cannot figure out why.
But now that yet another explosive scandal has popped up involving FBI agents, perhaps the agency will begin to see the light about why their standing with the American people has fallen so dramatically.
When FBI agents cannot follow the law themselves, it destroys their credibility to enforce the law as they are sworn to do.
And there have been so many of these scandals in the past few years, it is drawing attention to the culture of arrogance and corruption that has grown at the FBI.
Now, an FBI agent has been caught stealing the guns, and he has pleaded guilty to federal charges for his theft.
And the FBI is being forced to answer questions about how this happened on their watch, and why scandals keep popping up at their beleaguered agency.
According to The Paradise, “A former Central Kentucky FBI agent pleaded guilty Monday to federal charges after he illegally took guns from an FBI storage office, according to court records.
“Michael Van Aelstyn, 45, pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice and possessing an unregistered firearm, according to court documents. He was originally charged with possession of a firearm made in violation of the National Firearms Act, possession of an unregistered firearm, and unlawful transfer of a firearm to an out-of-state resident, according to a May indictment.
“Van Aelstyn is alleged to have removed two illegal firearms from a suspect’s home, transported them to an FBI office for storage, and later removed them from the evidence room, taking them to his residence, according to court documents.”
In other words, Van Aelstyn was taking away people’s “illegal” guns, which were supposedly manufactured in violation of the National Firearms Act, and then taking the guns for himself.
The article continues, “Van Aelstyn was working as a special agent with the FBI on July 5, 2017, when he seized the pistol and rifle from a suspect’s Lexington home during an investigation, according to court documents. Both the guns and illegal substances were placed into Van Aelstyn’s government vehicle and transported to the FBI Lexington Resident Agency office evidence room, according to court documents.”
The fact that this man felt entitled to use his power as an FBI agent to take away someone else’s property and keep it for himself is the height of arrogance.
But that is in line with the culture of arrogance that has flourished at the FBI in recent years.
The American people are finally realizing how corrupt the FBI truly has become.
And their days of infringing on the Second Amendment, among other constitutional rights, without the American people noticing seem to finally be over.
