The FIB did this to themselves with help packing marxists into the institutions by dear leader Zer0.

Gee I know I’m shocked to learn this. 🙄

> ... led to concerns that the FBI has a “partisan, political agenda.”

Amazing how people jump to conclusions after a couple of decades.

[exnavy]

Makes me think of the die hard movie scene, arrogant worthless by the book FBI.

Disband the Dishonored FBI, rebuild from the bottom up. Most importantly, rename the corrupted .gov agency. The name FBI needs to get tossed into the garbage can of history, they failed our Nation.

I wonder if that is the situation the Redcoats found themselves in around the Boston area circa 1775.....

Any employee who participated in the over the top raids needs to be dismissed. Following orders is not an excuse to abuse the Constitution

I very seriously doubt any action will be taken to change the situation given the ATF still exists and is out of control as usual.

This is encouraging, but I doubt that all local jurisdictions and agencies believe this, especially in big Democrat cities.

Much of this loss of trust in the FBI was reportedly “triggered by its excessive response to the Capitol riot of Jan. 6, 2021, followed by the raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.”

The expectation that local law enforcement assist with J6 cases in their areas has allegedly “impacted morale within these agencies” and led to concerns that the FBI has a “partisan, political agenda.”

Whistleblowers said they fear that “FBI leadership would exploit any information provided to them to violate the law and the constitutional rights of suspects who are under investigation, as well as ­innocent citizens.”

It has not escaped the notice of LEOs across the country that the FBI has made a priority of targeting J6 protesters while allowing more violent and dangerous left-wing agitators to run rampant.

The FBI is viewed as “an incompetent, arrogant, bloated bureaucracy” and its new crop of DEI hires described as “completely worthless” and “the worst batch of people.”

All of those accusations, observations, and revelations about the FBI have been widely discussed here on FR the past five, maybe ten years.

As we know, the comment about the worthless DEI hires at the FBI rings true at the Secret Service, too.

Also, local police will bust a crime ring, make arrests, and then the FBI will swoop in and take credit. They will then have a press conference or issue a press release patting themselves on the back for their hard work. It pisses off the local cops that actually put in that hard work.

Often they will then press federal charges only to plea bargain them down to almost nothing and the perps get minimal time or even just probation.

[SharpRightTurn]

Feral Bureau of Intimidation.

If we are lucky enough to see Trump back in the White House, the obvious first step is dealing with the Department of Justice as a whole.

But how?

We can fire Christopher Wray and other leadership. That’s a good start. Garland Merrick is gone too.

But the rot goes deeper and is more invasive than many of us realize. Per the article, it has even infected the FBI Academy. From past readings, many of the attorneys in the Justice department actively impeded Trump in his first term.

Those people are STILL there - all the way down to paralegals and HQ staffers. And many of them won’t go quietly or easily.

I almost swear that reforming the Justice Dept could take up hie entire term.

[NorthMountain]

This lack of trust isn’t new.

A close friend, now retired, has been both a city police officer and a federal agent (not FBI).

As long as I have known him, going back to the late 1980s, he has expressed contempt for the feebs.

[high info voter]

WELL.... they’re getting what they’ve earned! ...imho

[Regulator]

IOW it’s the KGB now: a gang of political enforcers that considers the citizenry to be The Enemy.
