I would be very interested in hearing what other Freepers think of this analysis, particularly those who may have experience in law enforcement at the local, city, state, or federal levels.
The FBI is a government bureaucracy. Enough said.
They also recruit straight out of college, at least for leadership. Very liberal colleges.
the answer is simple.
the democrat strategic powers determined that the FBI leadership was a good place to insert and in effect hide their subversive apparachicks. The ordinary rank and file need not know what happens in the offices at the end of the hall.
I’ve heard the 7th floor mentioned. I can visualize the subversives occupying one wing of 7th floor offices. Out of sight out of mind
Why doesn’t the vetting process weed out these bastards?
Why doesn’t the rank & file tattle on them off the record? They’re not violating oaths if it’s to expose traitors and those that would politicize the Bureau.
Where’s those “great investigative ‘journalists’” of the MSM investigating the politicization?
Oh, wait . . .
We had a neighbor girl who applied for the SS, and one day a very polite FBI agent came to the door as part of her vetting process. We had no reason to think she’d betray her country but she was quite the opinionated feminist and we felt obliged to reveal that (we could see her being a problem)
And no, she didn’t get the job.
Dan Bongino is a rising star. He has a no-nonsense view that was formed by years of service as an LEO and member of the Secret Service.
Dan is articulate and is able to highlight and inform listeners and viewers in a league with Rush Limbaugh, Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, Maria Bartiromo, Lou Dobbs, and so many others with the distinction that he brings real experience to the table.
Whenever I have time to listen or read on matters of deep state, I turn to Dan to get me the most amount of clear informed perspective in the shortest time possible.
Dan is absolutely right that the rank and file of law enforcement agencies are conservative because they have witnessed first-hand like Dan has, the devastation caused by Leftist politics.
If you think this is bad, recall what Obama did to our military.
Obama FIRED (forced retired) any and every officer over the rank of Major, who gave any hint of being conservative.
Accountants are conservatives by nature, and I would think that those lawyers who want service in the FBI would be manly, conservative types.
Not petty, childish, lookitmeee, pandering, metrosexual, unpatriotic left wingers
When Obama first got elected I remember the news saying he was appointing his own picks to head the FBI and I thought, ‘why would he do that?’
The entire town is now leftist. It draws leftists to it from around the world. That’s been obvious now for 20 years, at least, probably longer. Conservatives know to stay away.
So much for affirmative action and diversity, probably not a singe conservative among their ranks.
The FBI was purged by the Clintons when Bill took office. I was working in DC for the government. We all were shocked to see that GS-14 level FBI agents were being fired by the Clintons and replaced with their own people.
Subsequent Republican administrations did not do likewise, but left all of the Clinton agents in place.
The Bush administrations did not purge beyond the political appointment level.
The DIA used to be very focused on military support and only hired ex-military or retirees. However, after 9/11 they started hiring direct college grads to fill the massive number of vacancies.
This caused a very dramatic change in the focus. Previously, they supported the warfighter. Afterwards, they were trying to write stuff which would appeal to the White House or “E” ring. They were promoted, and only hired people who reflected their worldview, which wasn’t necessarily military focused.
I think Mueller and Comey are neverTrumpers...
It wouldn’t be a problem, if they actually did their job. They are, however, without honor, full of bias, and overstep their jurisdiction leading into treason.
They are not truly law enforcement that come up thru the ranks but Appointees. Just as the Generals, if you follow their careers, many leftists were Senate Aids and Congressional Aids, to powerful men in DC; for example Colin Powell was aid, so was Gen Lindsay and many others.
Thyis is Holders DOJ. ‘Nuff sad.
Why is the FBI top heavy with Leftists
Obama/Clinton turned the FBI, CIA,NSA into their version of the Brown Shirts of the 1930’s.
Trump should fire all the Democrats. The next Democrat president can fire all the Republicans. And we’ll be rid of the FBI once and for all.
