The FBI has a rulebook restricting its agents’ actions but it does not want the American people to know what it says.
The several-hundred-page Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide (DIOG) used by agents today is a hidden handbook intended to standardize policy for criminal, national security and foreign intelligence investigations.
After an internal audit first reported by The Washington Times showed agents’ rule-breaking at a rate sparking senators to ask for a federal investigation, The Times asked for a copy of the rulebook and was denied. The bureau instead pointed to an outdated version of the rulebook that is available online.
“The DIOG is updated as needed to reflect changes in policy and the 2016 version currently posted on the FBI Vault is not the most recent version, but reflects the latest version that is publicly available,” the FBI said in a statement. “We are not able to share an updated version with you at this time.”
The rulebook has undergone multiple revisions since then. According to a 2019 FBI audit, a newer version of the rulebook was released in July 2018 and later updated in June 2019.
The 2019 audit found a ratio of slightly more than two “compliance errors” per sensitive investigative matter (SIM) reviewed, which are investigations involving people engaged in politics, government, the media or religious expression. Agents violated rules for those investigations at least 747 times in the 18 months ending June 30, 2019, according to the audit.

Rule #1: Always screw the Republicans.
Rule #2: Always screw the Republicans.
Theres definitely two sets of rules.
Who was POTUS in ‘18?
I said the FBI was out of control at Waco, and they haven’t
proven me wrong yet.
For that matter, TWA800 was a total cluster _ also.
“ After an internal audit first reported by The Washington Times showed agents’ rule-breaking at a rate sparking senators to ask for a federal investigation,”
Translation - politically motivated libtard agents were breaking laws 🤪
Rule 0:
We can lie to you, but you can’t lie to us.
Bet there is a stand down order for mass murders in schools
Gotta get that body count up.
The KGB I mean FIB I mean FBI needs to be disbanded, period. They cannot be reformed.
And you bet they have files on EVERYONE, including all of Congress. Perpetual Insurance Policy, granting them immunity from oversight and accountability.
What makes you believe that POTUS ever heard of it?
” it does not want the American people to know what it says.”
You don’t have standing/need to know/enough power to force us.
Rule book, that's adorable.
Makes sense.
Fits in with them making up their 302s to fit the narrative need of the investigation, and refusing to allow recorded testimony so no one can question their 302s which are nothing but written notes.
*”Who was POTUS in ‘18?”
What makes you believe that POTUS ever heard of it?*
U R smarter than I am-or are you? Think. Trump fired a lot of people. Whoever was head of the FBI at the time-It’s not worth knowing. Ultimate responsibility is his-get it? The rats only have to shave off a few republicans to get to 51%. They’re good at it-better than we are. This ‘rulebook’ issue takes a little involvement, you know- research. How many rats will take the time when they don’t have to bother?
As for Trump firing a lot of people-he didn’t do it enough. Think Hillary and the travel office. She was the boss so tough titty to the republicans. If Trump or some other POTUS takes over in ‘25 the GOP congress will have to cover his/her back. Will they?
The FBI DIOG sounds similar to the Internal Revenue Manual (IRM) the IRS is supposed to follow, but it is routinely disregarded if it conflicts with something TPTB want to do.
When I worked for the IRS I was frequently ordered to do things the IRM said not to do, but my supervisor told me to do it anyway because the IRM was “...just a guide, we don’t have to follow it—we’re the IRS, we can do whatever we want...”. Lois Lerner was not an outlier—she was stereotypical.
