Police departments throughout the United States have stopped sharing information with the FBI due a “disturbing loss of trust” in the Bureau, an alarming new whistleblower report has found.
An alliance of retired and active duty FBI special agents and analysts examined the attitudes of the Bureau’s “local law enforcement partners,” drawing on the testimony of more than 30 “independent, highly credible law enforcement sources and sub-sources” across the country.
The National Alliance of Retired and Active Duty FBI Special Agents and Analysts submitted their findings, first reported by the New York Post’s Miranda Devine, to the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees.
Their scathing report listed ten key findings that have dire national security and public safety implications: 1. Local law enforcement officers do not trust the FBI, 2. No more actionable, substantive information sharing with the FBI, 3. FBI National Academy graduates are troubled by bias, 4. Crisis of confidence in FBI-led task forces, 5. The FBI is isolated and unresponsive to local law enforcement, 6. Local law enforcement officers feel disrespected by FBI special agents, 7. Today’s tone-deaf FBI disregards the value of retired FBI special agents, 8. The new generation of sub-standard FBI special agents, 9. FBI management is too transitory and obsessed with self-promotion, 10. The FBI’s cult of narcissism begins at the FBI Academy.
The coalition found that local law enforcement officers (LEOs) are reluctant to share “actionable, substantive information on criminal and other intelligence-related activity with the FBI” because of the widespread perception that the Bureau is incapable of conducting fair and nonpartisan investigations.
FBI Director Christopher Wray has been warning all year that the FBI is facing a “complex threat environment” that is unprecedented in his experience, which makes the loss of trust in the Bureau on his watch even particularly worrisome.
“Police officers and sheriff’s deputies on patrol and detectives investigating illegal activity in their jurisdictions have unparalleled visibility into street-level crime,” the report states. “When this information is not immediately shared with the FBI, the FBI is left to address complex, evolving threats facing the United States with an unacceptably vast and debilitating ‘blind spot’ because [it] does not have enough personnel and resources to see into every corner of the country.”
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.
One source, a 25-year sergeant in the Major Crimes Division of a large police force in a Western state, said he could not understand “why the FBI is not going after [far left extremist groups] like Antifa, BLM [Black Lives Matter] and pro-Palestinian rioters with the same vigor the FBI brought to bear against” the J6 protesters.
One LEO said the FBI’s behavior was like “that of a Third World country [and the bureau] should be dismantled and its personnel prosecuted and given long prison sentences.”
The whistleblowers said there is a “crisis of confidence” in FBI-led task forces where relationships with local cops have collapsed in many cases because of “poor management and ineffective leadership by the FBI.”
A supervisor in a large local law enforcement agency with more than 25 years of law enforcement experience said the FBI is distained by many of his officers because it is viewed as “a political tool of the woke and liberal political apparatus currently in power.”
“The quality just isn’t there at the FBI anymore. The pursuit of justice is no longer their priority. It’s just sad,” the supervisor said.
Officers also worry about being targeted themselves because of their political leanings.
A 15-year veteran cop from a Southern state said his officers “believe they could be targeted by the FBI and the DOJ because of their love for the United States of America and may be perceived as domestic terrorists because of how they may vote.”
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.”
The head of a multiagency task force said the newer FBI agents on the team “do not bother to conceal their distaste for disfavored political and religious views … Newer FBI special agents identify themselves as ‘woke or liberal’ and are often openly critical of Conservative or Christian values.”
Another source described FBI personnel generally as “almost always … arrogant, aloof and condescending [with] little, if any, tactical skills to support themselves or the safety of their team while out on the streets.”
The coalition’s review also found that the FBI Academy for New Agent Training in Quantico, Virginia “promotes a cult of narcissism by imbuing a false sense of superiority over all local, state and federal law enforcement.”
Taxpayer dollars were allegedly used to build a new “wellness center” for yoga and meditation at the academy instead of teaching trainee agents the value of “humility and a higher sense of service and professionalism” when working with local law enforcement.”
According to the report, one particular instructor at the FBI Academy “regularly denigrated” then-Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and Republicans during his classroom presentations, prompting a group of conservative students to hold up handwritten signs displaying the word “STOP.”
A law enforcement veteran who served on the command staff of a law enforcement agency in the Western U.S. said the wide perception among his peers that the FBI is politically motivated has had real world consequences. This source said that when his son completed his U.S. Armed Forces service commitment, he discouraged his son from applying to work at the FBI, due to the Bureau’s “terrible reputation.”
The coalition’s disturbing findings build upon a damning whistleblower report released last month by Empower Oversight revealing that the FBI’s Security Division has been abusing the security clearance process to purge conservatives from its ranks.
According to whistleblower documents, FBI employees were given a questionnaire probing whether they had ever expressed support for former President Trump, or expressed opposition to the COVID-19 vaccine.
When asked to explain this report during his appearance before the House Judiciary Committee Wednesday, Wray said he had only recently found out about it, that it was “an isolated incident,” and that the outside contractor behind the questionnaire was no longer with the FBI.
However, a registered Democrat and supervisor from within the FBI’s Security Division disclosed to Empower Oversight that “these kinds of questions were asked all the time in interviews, even if they weren’t typed up in outlines ahead of time.”
“Further–and perhaps more troubling—whether or not these questions were raised in interviews, our Security Division whistleblower says these inappropriate factors were routinely considered by FBI management in whether to take clearance actions against FBI employees,” Empower Oversight reported. “These discussions were not documented to provide FBI employees with the full basis for actions against them.”
Wray also insisted that the FBI was not lowering its standards for new employees, contra the findings in the coalition’s report.
The whistleblower group said Wray should be forced to resign as “an extreme measure of last resort” to save the FBI, as the stakes “are no less than the public’s safety and America’s national security.”
“Judging by the sycophantic questioning of Wray by Democrats, we will have to wait for a Republican administration to clean house,” noted the NY Post’s Miranda Devine.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
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. 🙄
Marxists and DEI hires.
> ... led to concerns that the FBI has a “partisan, political agenda.”
Amazing how people jump to conclusions after a couple of decades.
This isn’t surprising. Local LEO’s live in the real world and tend to be more conservative. The FBI brass, and all agents who WANT to be brass, live in the DC fantasy world where ass-kissing means you must at least pretend to be woke liberal.
This is a really dangerous situation though. Lack of communication was a big reason 9/11 succeeded.
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.....
The heads of the Secret Service (Cheatle has resigned), FBI’s Wray, and Mayorkas’ Dept of Homeland Security have reportedly declined to testify at the second Congressional hearing into Trump’s attempted assassination.
<><>As of May 23, 2023, the $10 billion tax-subsidized Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had some 10,000 special agents and approximately 35,000 support professionals: intelligence analysts, language specialists, scientists, and information technology specialists.
Yet, Biden, the FBI, Mayorkas and Cheatle denied Trump’s request for increased security. The Biden regime sent $200,000,000,000 tax dollars to Ukraine to protect its people, but could not find the tax dollars to beef up security for a presidential candidate.
Those payroll numbers sound alarmingly suspicious——like the age-old scam of putting phantom names on the payroll with the attendant eye-popping financial windfall, ending with several govt pensions for whoever’s cashing in.
Let’s get Congress to check it out.

Message: Payroll fraud is widespread and easy to pull off on the govt payroll.
There are several methodologies used, including
<><>submitting falsified time sheets,
<><>issuing unauthorized paychecks, healthcare, bonuses, benefits and overtime
<><>enrolling fictitious employees in pension plans.
The govt fraudster simply sets up fictitious employees and arranges for them to receive a salary,
benefits, overtime payments, bonuses and pensions, even though they do not perform any duties.
The fraudster then diverts the fraudulent payments into their bank account or that of an accomplice.
Payroll fraud entails serious crimes.......falsifying govt documents, misappropriation of tax dollars, skimming, larceny, check tampering, check kiting, billing fraud, payroll fraud, reimbursement fraud, pension fraud, misuse of tax dollars, theft of tax dollars, ID fraud, Social Security swindles, IRS fraud.
S/S Director Cheatle’s resignation should not deter us from determining the true significance
of the stunning payroll numbers coming out of the Trump shooting debacle.
<><>Cheatle employed 7100 Secret Service Special agents and 2800 Task Force Officers, plus Uniformed Division officers, Technical Law Enforcement officers, and administrative, professional, and technical personnel on the tax-paid govt payroll. Complete with perks, privileges, eternal healthcare, bonuses, and pensions.
Roughly half of the Secret Service’s $3 billion budget is spent on protective services. It also has a robust cybercrime division, state-of-the-art forensic labs and a threat-assessment center that studies how to mitigate and train against threats.
<><>Mayorkas heads The Dept of Homeland Security which has more than 260,000 employees in jobs that range from aviation and border security to emergency response, from cybersecurity analyst to chemical facility inspector on the govt payroll as of Jun 11, 2024.
The Homeland Security bill includes $91.515 billion in total discretionary appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security, including $62.793 billion within the bill’s allocation, $5.837 billion in discretionary appropriations offset by fee collections, and a $20.261 billion allocation adjustment for major response events.
<><>Mayorkas’ Homeland Security Investigations division received $2.5 billion tax dollars, an increase of $123 million above fiscal year 2023. The agency apparently “lent” employees to Cheatle and has over 9,800 Special Agents and tactical officers on the tax-paid govt payroll. Complete With tax-paid perks privileges healthcare bonuses and pensions.
<><>The Executive Office of the President employs
1800 tax-paid individuals, some 584 in the WH alone on a budget of $714 million.
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.
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.”All of those accusations, observations, and revelations about the FBI have been widely discussed here on FR the past five, maybe ten years.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.”
As we know, the comment about the worthless DEI hires at the FBI rings true at the Secret Service, too.
Easy to ghost employees when so many work remotely. No way to check if they don’t even come into the office.
Excellent point.
Local police are sending videos directly to senior congressional leaders in Republican party.
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.
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.
Cong Andy Ogles wants to impeach Harris; he should
focus on the $2 million govt payroll scam she pulled.
An Open The Books’s investigation revealed $2 million plus discrepancy in Harris’ allocation of taxpayer dollars. OTB calculated that for VP Harris’s 28 staff listed in the Senate report, the 2021 salaries added up to $2,334,223. But the vice president’s office “got $5 million for 23 full time staff in 2021 and requested over $6 million for 27 full time staff in 2022.
Harris’ office reportedly refused to answer any questions from OTB regarding this inconsistency. OTB said Harris’ office is a “revolving door” where there’s a perpetual staff exodus of key aides heading for the exits.......that might correspond to the $2 million discrepancy in her tax-paid payroll.
Payroll fraud entails serious crimes.......falsifying govt documents, misappropriation of tax dollars, skimming, larceny, check tampering, check kiting, billing fraud, payroll fraud, reimbursement fraud, pension fraud, misuse of tax dollars, theft of tax dollars, ID fraud, Social Security swindles, IRS fraud.
