A post on The Conservative Treehouse suggested recruiting the FBI agents from the generally conservative military instead of from the generally leftist colleges.

That is not believable at all considering they hire lawyers almost exclusively.
There was a time when I would be bothered by a U.S. president commuting the life sentence of an "activist" who was convicted of murdering two FBI agents.
After Ruby Ridge and Waco I stopped giving the FBI the benefit of the doubt in these matters.
After 2016 I consider the entire agency to be nothing more than a political/criminal organization from top to bottom.
THE END.
To me it seems the FBI does not really look for the brightest. Rather, they want a certain personality type that seeks conformity in groups and group identity, and will mold oneself to the organization and its very tight bureaucracy and culture.
Easy fix; fire everyone in FBI over first level supervisor. Promote and hire from without.
