A dossier alleging Russian collusion funded by a Democrat presidential candidate. A suggestion that school parents were domestic terrorists from a left-leaning school board group. A list suggesting old-fashioned Catholics were extremists from a liberal watchdog on hate speech.
Three triggers for investigation. Three blunders that left America's premier law enforcement agency reeling with a black eye. The FBI's repeated reliance on liberal political and advocacy groups has proven costly in recent years, resulting in high-profile reversals and whispers the bureau has created a two-tier system of justice.
"They need to have an understanding that there are folks out there that are looking to manipulate them for political purposes and every time they fall for it, they're damaging the reputation of the FBI in a way that is fundamentally harmful to not only the FBI, but to the country," said Jason Foster, who investigated FBI wrongdoing for two decades as a U.S. Senate investigator and now represents FBI whistleblowers at the Empower Oversight whistleblower center.
The FBI's latest misstep came last week when it was forced to retract an intelligence bulletin issued by its Richmond office that suggested Catholics who prefer the traditional Latin language Mass pose a risk as white supremacists and extremists. That memo derived some of its information from the Southern Poverty Law Center, a left-leaning group in Georgia that tracks hate activity in the United States, as well as articles from overtly liberal magazines.
The Richmond memo urged agents to begin infiltrating Catholic groups, looking for such extremists. Its liberal bias showed through in a footnote where the author referred to a woman having a baby as a "pregnant person" rather than a mother.

That's the trick! The 7th floor of FBI headquarters is filled with VICTIMS!
Someone, somewhere, will believe this!
John Solomon, if you wrote that headline, you should apologize.
exactly....its absolutely the outcomes they want or are paid for.....
The Feebs have been sucking up Morris Dees’ stuff for decades. His stupidly misnamed “Southern Poverty Law Center” has never been anything other than a purveyor of leftist disinformation.
Nope ... they’ve been in bed with the SPLC for decades. It goes back at least to the early 1990s.
Oh they are not burned. They take part in creating the leftist lies. It’s for their benefit as well.
FBI IS a liberal source. They don’t need to rely on any other liberal sources.
So? They can get away with anything they want to. They are untouchable.
Oh, Really? Groups like the Knights of Columbus? Those agents better be octogenarians or they will stand out like plums among prunes.
A federal judge dismissed former President Trump’s lawsuit against Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee and a number of other high-profile figures involved in creating the narrative that he and his 2016 presidential campaign were colluding with Russia.
Trump filed the lawsuit in March in the Southern District of Florida, alleging that Clinton and her "cohorts orchestrated an unthinkable plot" and "maliciously conspired to weave a false narrative" that Trump was colluding with Russia.
This week, U.S. District Judge Donald Middlebrooks threw out the lawsuit, saying that "most of" Trump’s claims were "unsupported by any legal authority" and said the lawsuit lacks "substance."

Yes. If the DOJ was looking for an excuse to weaponize the department against political opponents of Obama/Clinton/Biden, they would do exactly what they did — ask bizarrely left-wing and conflicted sources about folks they want to prosecute and then pretend that they believe the sources.
What is great for them is that if they can try the case in front of a Washington DC jury, it is nearly impossible for a prosecutor to lose a criminal case against a Republican, regardless of the weakness of the evidence presented.
Middlebrook is a Clinton appointee.
The so-called Southern Poverty Law Center is a left wing hate group which makes a pile of money for its executive staff. A real bunch of Bolshevik scumbos, filled with destructive views, that no government agency should be using our tax dollars to make any payments to.
The SPLC is based in Montgomery, Alabama, not Georgia.

BTTT
Very well said.
When the SPLC (more like Northern Prosperous antilaw Society) defines “hate groups” then you can have a fox citing chickens.
