FBI agents say the bureau’s first response to the New Year’s Day terrorist massacre in New Orleans’ French Quarter was disastrous and another reason why the Senate can’t move fast enough to confirm President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to run the agency.
...
Agents wondered why Lyonel Myrthil, the special agent in charge of the New Orleans FBI office, did not appear
...
The New Orleans FBI Office sent Assistant Special Agent in Charge Alethea Duncan, who wore khakis, a blue polo shirt and a nose ring, to the first press conference after the attack.
She immediately contradicted New Orleans Mayor Latoya Cantrell, who said at the press conference that her city was “impacted by a terrorist attack.”
Ms. Duncan stepped forward after the city’s police chief spoke and said, “This is not a terrorist event.
...
the public should “see the bureau, not somebody with a ring in their nose. Who the hell would go on TV with a ring in their nose,” another agent said. “Who the hell would ever say it’s not a terrorist event when there’s an ISIS flag flying on the back of a truck?
...
not surprising that Ms. Duncan did not initially call the New Orleans incident terrorism because it didn’t fit the FBI leadership’s current definition of terrorism.
“It ain’t terrorism unless they have a MAGA hat on. For the last three years, all of the new agents, that’s all they know. It’s going after the right-wing or Trump supporters,” the agent said. “This is endemic with the headquarters. That’s all they know.”
The agent added, “This is what happens when all you do are January 6 cases.”

Other agents were perplexed about why Jabbar’s residence was left open for the public to gain access, including reporters from the New York

they can go cry to Hannity ...
No surprise here.
Trump should call on all of them to speak out before he takes office. They will have no need to be afraid. Name names.
It’s like the 40 or so Benghazi witnesses. They didn’t speak out so it didn’t happen.
Get stuffed Glowie Troll.
Its like being a local KGB head in some province, being unexpectedly thrust into the national spotlight
The very first thing you must do is not contradict the central party political narrative.
“It ain’t terrorism unless they have a MAGA hat on.”
XD XD... when I read that I had to go see if I got suckered by the Bee again.
One only has to look at the press conferences to discover who the FBI selects to be the heads and spokespersons. The Las Vegas P.D. and D.C. police too....are there no white men that are capable?
I heard on the radio from a former agent it is 50/50 these days.
Brainwashed to hear J6 J6 in their minds. No other danger exists.
They’ve reportedly been talking to Jim Jordan for a couple of years.
They are!!!!!!!!1
The deep intellect evidenced by your responses continues to fascinate me...
You seem to know nothing how such organizations really operate
When an organization is highly centralized and highly political, (ESPECIALLY so with national law enforcement or security organizations), the morals, thoughts or hopes of the rank-and-file members simply do not matter. It only matters in the unknowable margins.
One follows ALL directives, and one adopts the acceptable bureaucratic mindset, or one does not have a life or career in that organization.
“Plenty of people on FR seem to believe that everyone in the FBI is irretrievably corrupt.”
They are irretrievably corrupt as long as they remain in the FBI as it is currently constituted.
Just as everyone in the SS or KGB was corrupt as long as they remained in those organizations.
The FBI is garbage and an enemy of regular Americans. If it’s not radically reformed or replaced all FBI agents will continue to maintain the corruption by virtue of their continued employment.
There have been essentially NO whistleblowers at the FIB as it became the enforcement arm of the WOKE BRIGADE!
Sorry, I don’t believe any organization made up of human beings is that homogeneous.
And there are about 40K people in the FBI.
Don’t get your hopes up, I’m already taken.
