The casual disregard with which the FBI has always treated the law is disgusting, and unfortunately, the true face of our country.

It surely didn't start in the last decade, and it won't stop this decade, either.

Just look at COINTELPRO in the 1960s:

COINTELPRO (a portmanteau derived from COunter INTELligence PROgram) was a series of covert, and at times illegal, projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting and disrupting domestic political organizations.
