I am frankly disappointed in seeing the many ridiculous comments on this thread blaming Trump for his total support in restoring the FBI! For God’s Sake why shouldn’t he!??
Some of you wishing the abolition of the entire FBI are unfortunately delusional. It’s on the verge of pure madness.
Let me explain:
If a person has cancer, do you wish to treat him medically?
Or do you say : “Nah, let’s execute him right away instead, way easier and quicker that way!”
Or this example:
When Twitter conspired against Trump some of you would want it “burned to the ground”. But LOOK! Twitter has been RESTORED now right? The bad apples in that company were sacked, and Twitter (or X) can now function rather normally again. No need to destroy the whole company! Just eject the bad apples.
Example 3:
If America has a badly running Government, would some of you then say “Lets eliminate America now, because we don’t like its Government!”. That would be stupid right?? Because its way easier to just change the Government. VOTE! And put in place measures making sure the vote is not stolen this time.
Thats why Trump is a genius. Because he wants to “surgically” extract from any badly functioning organisation all the bad apples within it, WITHOUT killing the ENTIRE organisation. Smart! Quicker! Less expensive!
Trump is the guy for the job. He proved it once more today.
What I witnessed at the FBI will be the agency’s Waterloo: https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/what-witnessed-fbi-will-be-agency-waterloo
“There has been a seismic shift in the [FBI] culture…[I]n comes [FBI director] Jim Comey and he basically parachutes all these DOJ political appointees into the FBI and slowly the culture shifts over Comey’s tenure and then under [FBI director] Chris Wray it’s accelerated because I think the type of recruit they’re bringing in is more opinionated, more idealistic, more liberal, highly educated, more Ivy League, and they tend to not just follow the facts, they tend to insert their own ideologies, their own opinions because the indoctrination that’s taking place in the schools these days – if you’re virtuous and you’re highly educated, you do everyone else’s thinking for them. You can decide that President Trump is not fit to be president, therefore we need to go after him. You can decide that domestic terrorists only exist on the right side of the political aisle, not on the left side of the political aisle. You can pick winners and losers…It’s no longer ‘Let’s just follow the facts.’ I’m going to say that’s at the highest levels of the FBI…but I think it’s beginning to percolate down to the street level [rank and file agents] as well.”
Long story short. Since Obama, diversity hires and political appointees have infected the entire agency and just thinking it can be fixed with a new director or a few cosmetic changes is delusional
