Anyone else recall a time in the 249 year history of the United States, aside from the Fugitive Slave Act, when Congress empowered the FBI to hunt down American citizens -- duly elected city, county or state officials? Me either!

FBI was created in 1935. And they were empowered to hunt down and prosecute elected officials who were involved with organized crime, usually as bribees, but sometimes as principals.

Nope. But I do remember what the founders instructed us to do to prevent a tyrannical authoritarian government from taking over.
