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.
You think, I know. 😀
Do you remember how Ike was shocked to learn that Castro was a Community? We armed.trained and financed his overthrow of Batista and then he was shocked.
I think that was Prosecutors not Judges.
Donald Trump got a whopping 4% of the vote in D.C> that should tell you something. He only did a little better in surround areas, less than 20% in most.
Community=Communist
What does THAT mean?
... firing top level liberals... and replacing them with conservatives.
... firing top level liberals... and replacing them with conservatives.
Yep, at least the at will workers. The rest of them are "protected" and secretly undermine Trump.
Our battle against evil is not for the faint of heart... and it’s gonna take time - - easy to grow weary of the fight...
What top members of the FBI (who covered for Hillary’s crimes) ALSO worked the Vegas slaughter of Trump Supporters....
