Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik told Breitbart News that FBI agents are “scared to death” to criticize political corruption and abuses of power at the bureau and broader Department of Justice (DOJ).
Kirk offered his analysis on Wednesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight in an interview with hosts Rebecca Mansour and Joel Pollak.
Kerik reflected on partisan and political corruption at the FBI and DOJ: “Not one of these people has been brought up on criminal charges, or even ethical charges. McCabe was terminated. Comey was fired. Page is gone. But at the end of the day, there are Americans all over this country that would be sitting in prison right now if they made the same decisions, if they violated the law the way these people did.”
Kerik continued, “I’ve been targeted by this government. I’ve seen what they can do and why they do it, and when I see this it sickens me, because it impugns the integrity of the FBI and the Justice Department. It impugns the integrity and honesty of the line agents that are in the field who every day put their lives on the line, and it also sends a message to the American people: There is a two-tier system of criminal justice in this country; one for the normal people and one for them, and that they can do anything they want. They’re basically above the law. Because they violated the law, they violated ethics rules, and they violated DOJ and FBI department policy, and nothing happened to them. I think it’s disgusting.”

It’s sad. I have joined many other in casting dispersions on the FBI, but we are all aware (I hope) that there are many many good folks there. Our progressive enemies (but I repeat myself) have infected every government organization. Hopefully, these organizations will cure themselves and save us the undesirable alternative of a hot civil war.
No Serpicos in the FBI.
It is exactly this lack of moral courage that the criminal Democrats rely upon.
Won’t happen without someone cleaning house from the outside.
Too many people have a lust for power and the others are not willing to risk their career to out a JBT.
That’s why people like Comey, McCabe and Peter Strzok rise so fast in the ranks. They abuse their power and access.
They Love Their Pensions
More Than Country
Here is criminal Democrat thinking,
“I can buy them or scare them.”
I have stopped believing that.
There has to be accountability or there will be civil unrest.
Obama and his Minions did real damage
I would rather have one Barney Fife, knowingly going out to get his butt kicked because he’s doing his job, than a dozen FBI Agents with no moral courage.
The current FBI problems are the legacy of an Obama era Just-Us Department.
Lets see if AG Barr can roll this institution back to where it was at least a decade ago.
the agents silence in the face of criminality makes them complicit- participants and involved in racketeering
this has tainted every one of the feds—not just top echelon
deport them all
Tyrants know that as long as they pay the workers the workers will be loyal.
Now the new Swamp Rat Barr can ignore the mountains of evidence against Hillary and the dems and hope it all is forgiven by the lemmings in USA.
“Obama and his Minions did real damage”
I’ve said for years now, we’ll never know the extent of the damage those people did!!
If you could find one or two people that voted for Trump in the whole of the DOJ it would be a miracle.
Not that voting for Hillary makes you a bad person but it certainly speaks volumes about your judgement and reasoning abilities.
We needed special counsels and audits of every corrupt agency in the executive branch years ago.
When Trump wins in November 2020 he should call for every dirty agent to be off the payroll by Dec. 31. In 2021 any agent with dirty hands will be fired. It is common courtesy for every cabinet official to submit their letter of resignation and have POTUS accept or deny it. He can find a new Atty. general to carry it out.
Well -- yeah, Bernie. You're complaining about corruption in the FBI even though you've been immersed in a swamp of corruption for your entire career.
Perhaps you can explain to all of us how a high school dropout with a GED becomes a prison warden, NYC Dept. of Correction Commissioner, the New York City Police Commissioner, and then the Interior Minister of Iraq ... and then gets nominated as the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security.
You were prosecuted for tax fraud because you failed to report a unpaid $250,000 "loan" from a foreign (Israeli) national while you were the Interior Minister of Iraq, dude. Does it get any more crooked than that?
