On the recordJuly 24, 2001
the FBI did not steal guns nor computers? Beam me up. The FBI destroyed incriminating evidence that would have whacked the FBI right out of the box. Even Chief Inspector Clouseau can smell out this diversion. From Waco to Ruby Ridge to Boston, the FBI has not only suborned perjury, they have lied to the courts, they have lied to Congress, they have lied to the American people, and they are getting away with it. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the fact that the FBI destroyed evidence deliberately. They had no intention and no need to take any guns or any computers.
