Rhyming History

In the same way that partisan pro-Bill Clinton Democrats in the late 90s disparaged the Special Counsel of Monica Lewinsky scandal, partisan pro-Trump Republicans are disparaging the Special Counsel in the Russia investigation. Furthermore, they're using this term and it alone to indicate that this is something that extends beyond the partisanship of Mr. Strzok, who was fired by Mueller and who disparaged Clinton and Sanders in his texts as well. Naturally the Trump sycophancy network Fox News is going to great lengths to conceal these facts for obvious reasons, but it really doesn't matter what they, Nunes or any other Trump sycophant Republicans conceal, because what they're trying to conceal has already been made evident. Given the Alex Jones-ish conspiracy-theory nature of this focus, should this topic even warrant its own article? Blue Marbler (talk) 12:45, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if this should have it's own article. Probably not. I have no objection to simply redirecting it to another article, perhaps Peter Strzok or Ron Johnson.- Mr X 🖋 19:41, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No. Articles like this help objective viewers understand how biased Wikipedia is. It is a monument to Wikipedia's agenda. I strongly support keeping it. 76.168.4.212 (talk) 18:33, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Moved

Based on comments at the AfD I went ahead and moved the article. Went for "FBI secret society conspiracy theory" rather than "FBI secret society (conspiracy theory)" since the latter implies (to me) that there is a real, notable FBI secret society that this must be distinguished from. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 21:05, 28 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Organized Crime banner removed

I removed the banner for WikiProject Organized Crime because I do not see a crime being committed here, let alone an organisation that is committing crime. This is mostly seems to be a political storm in a teacup over a few words in a text message expressing frustration at someone's secretive behaviour. Please explain why the WikiProject Organized Crime banner is relevant to this article, if it gets added back. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 04:43, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I added it because the FBI's main domain is combating organized crime. Not committing crime. Dimadick (talk) 07:39, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think combating organized crime falls outside of the scope of WikiProject Organized Crime, although it does fall into the scope of WikiProject Law Enforcement instead. Including an article in a WikiProject should be based on that WikiProject's scope or inclusion criteria. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 07:57, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
