179 arrested in 'Operation DisrupTor' dark web drug takedown:
A massive international law enforcement operation has led to the arrests of 179 dark web drug traffickers who sold opioids and other illicit goods and services across Europe and the US. The investigators part of JCODE, an FBI-led multi—agency Department of Justice initiative, worked with Europol over a period of nine months under the project called Operation DisrupTor.
They started their investigation after authorities took down Wall Street Market in May 2019, leading to the downfall of one of the biggest marketplaces for drugs and counterfeits on the dark web. Wall Street Market served more than 1.15 million customers. According to the Justice Department, law enforcement agencies obtained the intelligence they needed to identify dark web drug traffickers from the Wall Street Market operation. That set off a series of "complementary, but separate" investigations.
Of the 179 arrests, 121 were made in the US, 42 in Germany, eight in the Netherlands, four in the UK, three in Austria and one in Sweden. The DOJ expects more to follow as investigators work on ongoing cases to identify more online drug traffickers. In addition, authorities were also able to seize over $6.5 million in cash and virtual currencies, 63 firearms and 500 kilograms of drugs worldwide. A total of 274 kilos of fentanyl, oxycodone, hydrocodone, methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, ecstasy, MDMA and medicine containing addictive substances were seized in the US.

Why is the FBI getting involved in this bullshit when they should be investigating the *real* criminals like Biden, Pelosi, Schumer and those murderous Clintons!
It's a shame our wonderful President needs to focus on getting rid of ballots and making sure that the courts force the murderous blasphemers to keep their wonderful babies alive until they're born. After that, they're on their own of course.
He should be focused on making sure that every Democrat is arrested and charged with sedition, treason and terrorism. Because that's all they are, with their Sharia Law, Communism and intense hatred of America and the Constitution!

Because the FBI and the politicians all have the same employer. See a problem here?

You mean the Federal Government? Which means us, the people of the United States. That's who signs their paychecks.
