On Dan Bongino's podcast yesterday (6/19/2018) he discussed a subject that I have been pondering for some time: Why does the FBI seem to be so top heavy with Leftists?
Mueller is a Leftist. Comey, the #1, is a Leftist. McCabe, the #2 is a Leftist. (Priestap I don't know about.) Strzok (Lead agent in both the Hillary Email Scandal and the Russian Collaboration Investigation!!!!) is a Leftist. And so on. I included Mueller for obvious reasons, though not in the FBI when all this went down.
That is a high powered cabal of Leftists...why are there so many? I had always thought that any law enforcement or military arm found in America would be more conservative than leftist, but this is clearly a faulty assumption on my part, at least as it relates to the FBI.
Dan Bongino discusses this in his podcast yesterday, and I found it an interesting analysis. His opinion carried weight with me due to his past experience as a beat cop in the NYPD (in Brooklyn, IIRC) and as an investigator and agent in the Secret Service where he had to interact with everyone from foreign security/police entities (running the Secret Service advance team for Bush and Obama travels) to DHS, all the way down to local police departments. His interaction is broad, so I was interested to hear his take.
He said, in essence (I have to paraphrase, I have no transcript) that he guessed the Secret Service was roughly 90% conservative leaning, and his experience with city police was that he found them to be conservative by large margins, even in precincts with large minority police populations. In his view, police on the street see first hand the havoc and destruction caused by Leftist policies, so they tend to be more conservative.
By contrast, he guessed (and was careful to stress that it was only an unscientific rough estimate in all cases) that the FBI, from his personal interactions with agents at all levels, was around 60% conservative leaning.
I found this to be an interesting observation.
His rationale was that cops and military tend to be more black and white about situations and issues, rather than seeing them as a nuanced spectrum of grays. That makes sense to me, since if I were a cop or military, it seems you would be in situations where a rapid analysis and action is not only necessary, but critical for survival and success. Since the Secret Service generally recruits people in a general role sense (not usually specialists who fill a single or limited role, but someone who could fulfill a variety of roles as needed by a mission or task) the Secret Service looks to applicants from the police and military ranks. As such, they tend to be very conservative.
In contrast, he said the FBI recruits people in a very different way. The FBI is involved with a lot of white collar and technical crime, and so they recruit their agents from a different pool...they actively recruit lawyers and accountants, because those are the type of people needed for their investigations. They have to be comfortable in those waters...corporate environments, computer systems, account ledgers, and such.
I think Mueller and Comey are neverTrumpers...
Exactly. And they didn't spend that eight years with their fingers up their backsides.
Bongino tends to be as close as he can to the point he wants to make, and tends to do it quickly because he only has less than an hour to do so. Also, if he brings emotion into it, it is usually humor. I like that, as the Terminator says in one of the movies: "Your levity is good. It relieves tension and the fear of death." (well, tension may be in the picture, but not death...:)
Have to go to work now, will check in later. Thanks for the post...
Wikipedia: The long march through the institutions
The long march through the institutions (German: der lange Marsch durch die Institutionen) is a slogan coined by student activist Rudi Dutschke to describe his strategy for establishing the conditions for revolution: subverting society by infiltrating institutions such as the professions. The phrase “long march” is a reference to the prolonged struggle of the Chinese communists, which included a physical Long March of their army across China...

Well, to be fair, Obama’s staff worked overtime to do this. Obama didn’t look up from his bong and ESPN long enough in those eight years to do anything...
...and thank god for that.
Hopefully we're doing the same...
I think they are worse...Anti-Trumpers.
“I think Mueller and Comey are neverTrumpers...”
What was your first clue?
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.
Do you remember when officers were being asked if they would shoot on American civilians during Obama’s tenure?
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.
Great graphic! It really puts the whole state of affairs into a small space!
I just remembered that Bill Clinton protested against America during college years. He was in Russia. That planted the seed of collusion in the WH. And the dems fell in love with him like a WH intern all dressed up and no place to go. And Obama watered those seeds. And the F-I is now the ragweed pollen bothering America.
They are supposedly Republicans, by registration, but I’m pretty sure this is a ruse. They are listed as Republicans to give themselves cover to destroy from ‘within’ the Republican moniker. How many people have you heard say that Mueller, Comey and Rosenstein are Republicans so they aren’t biased against Republicans? They are Democrats from long ago. Comey was involved in the Clinton investigations back in the 90’s and helped exonerate them. Comey’s whole famiy are pu**y-hat wearing, flaming Leftists. Does anyone, other than Big Media, think they are even remotely Conservative?? These people aren’t anti-Trumpers OR never-Trumpers. They are lying DEMOCRATS.
Maybe - but from what I’ve seen the NeverTrumpers hate Trump (and us) as much if not more than liberal Democrats.
Look at McCain and George Will... they drip with hatred. They would do anything to damage our President.
Problem is the hoard of lawyers in the FBI—this fact was not always the case. The lawyers in government are without doubt the most corrupt in every branch of government right on down to the local level. I estimate more than 50% of judges are corrupt. Corrupt judges allow the left (the strong arm of organized crime) to forward their illegal agenda even when they don’t hold power. They simply throw out popular votes and declare laws they don’t like as unconstitutional.
I believe that 75% of government employees at local, state, and federal levels are Leftist Democrats.
Our public school and college system is controlled by Leftist Democrats.
I do not see anything on the horizon that is going to change the Leftist control of our government.
The Leftist FBI or CIA will not be so stupid to leave politically biased text messages the next time they defraud an election
