The Justice-backed FBI raid of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago winter resort home has increased the percentage of people who believe that President Joe Biden is using the G-men as his “personal Gestapo.”
In the latest Rasmussen Reports survey, 53% of likely voters agreed that “there is a group of politicized thugs at the top of the FBI that are using the FBI as Joe Biden’s personal Gestapo.”
Asked the same question last December, the portion who agreed with that view was 46%.
In between, the agency increased its focus on Trump and reports that he hoarded documents from his administration stamped “secret” at Mar-a-Lago, which the national police agency raided last week, taking several boxes of documents, including Trump’s current and old passports.
The new survey was suggested by New York Post columnist Miranda Devine, who wrote today that conservatives have had it with the FBI, while liberals, once the agency’s biggest critics, have found a new love.
“Liberals are happy because a politicized agency is coming after their ideological enemies, particularly their bête noire, Trump. It’s a stark turnaround from the days of decrying the FBI’s efforts to target Martin Luther King. The left has discarded any pretense of caring about civil liberties or injustice and instead sneers at conservatives who they claim are the ones who have jettisoned their core principles and now are ‘anti-cop,’” she wrote.
The Gestapo charge was coined by Trump supporter Roger Stone.
“The agency’s standing is at rock bottom among Republicans and conservatives, and not too healthy with independents and moderates,” wrote Devine, the author of Laptop from Hell: Hunter Biden, Big Tech, and the Dirty Secrets the President Tried to Hide.
The details of the survey, shared with Secrets, will be unveiled later this morning.
Overall, said Rasmussen, the raid made voters trust the FBI less, though a majority still have a favorable opinion of the agency.
The survey found that 44% said they trust federal agents less, while 29% said they trust them more. But by a 50%-46% margin, voters have a favorable impression of the FBI. That is actually better than when the same question was asked in December.
Biden’s Bundes Gestapo
Some things are so obvious, that even 37% of Democrats can acknowledge it. https://t.co/DLrLOPgGKw— Viva Frei (@thevivafrei) August 19, 2022
76% of Republicans, 49% of Independents, and even 37% of Democrats think @potus is using the @fbi as his personal 'Gestapo.'https://t.co/jdpFvebK0R#FBIRaid pic.twitter.com/C1uwHtpO5X— Rasmussen Reports (@Rasmussen_Poll) August 18, 2022
The rest remain under the spell of the MSM — mainly Comcast and Disney.
Something else we did nazi coming.

;D
I’m more inclined to think of it as an American KGB.
The Gestapo didn’t engage in manipulating national politics except at Hitler’s explicit direction, whereas the KGB acted like the Roman Praetorian Guard, creating it’s own policies and replacing Emperors at will. Remember that the KGB spawned Putin.
FBI ... and the IRS
to name just a couple
creating it’s own policies and replacing Emperors at will.
Good point. They certainly worked hard against Trump for these last 7 years.
Biggest difference I see is they are being directed...by someone like maybe Zerohissef and his cabal.
I would add the EPA also!!
Even the Census bureau! The latest news is they were caught cooking the numbers so Democrat states gained reps and Republicans lost them.
Apparently this all started because the archive wanted back a note from the north Korea dictator..and one from a former US dictator ..Obama
I see mostly “selected” Presidents (with the exception of elected Trump) as compromised puppets of the Deep State - CIA/FBI/State Dept/EPA/FakeNewsMSM etc etc etc.
don’t let them win. time to bring them down.
I’m shocked!
The bad agents make the other 5% look bad.
Well at least they get something right…
I think most of us see the new FBI as Jo Jo’s personal Keystone Cops.
I now see the Capitol Police as Nancy Pelosi’s Praetorian Guard.
This is quickly becoming the Patterns of Force Star Trek TOS where Gill was installed as the Nazi leader and quickly subdued.
