I have known (and still know) many fine FBI Special Agents.
They are NOT the problem.
Their politicized and weaponized overlords....different story.
My drinking buds stay under the radar and stay out of the politics.
Cheers!
It was Obama who weaponized the FBI by careful selection of who got promoted and who got transferred to the DC office.
Your fine friends will be welcomed to the new replacement. The likes of Wray will not
“I didn’t say defund the FBI. I said shut down the FBI and replace it with something new,” said Ramaswamy on Sunday. “I think it’s a new apparatus built from scratch that actually respects the law instead of making it up.”
When it comes to power like the FBI, a quote from Thomas Paine’s Common Sense seem appropriate.
“HOW CAME THE KING BY A POWER WHICH THE PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO TRUST, AND ALWAYS OBLIGED TO CHECK? Such a power could not be the gift of a wise people...”
To paraphrase the rest of his line of thought: Even though politicians (may) limit that power structure, the power structure will still be weighted in the Deep State’s favor.
As long as legislation does not stop the unelected from pursuing their own ends, what limits that are placed will only slow the degradation, not stop it.
What the Deep State wants in speed will be supplied in time.
People inside the FBI, might be decent men, but that power structure cannot exist anymore.
You don’t have to fire everyone and start new. Fire the top third of management and find the ones willing to lead in a better direction. Vivek is 100% correct, heads need to roll. Same with DOJ.
Once corruption takes over an agency, there is really no way to clean it up. Starting over is the only good course.
Unfortunately, at a homeschool convention recently a mother proudly told me of her FBI son, who is totally woke.
No, I don’t believe this. During the Russia Hoax, NOT ONE FBI rank-and-file that we know of resigned; not one came forward as a whistleblower; not one that we know of objected in any meaningful way.
So, if someone is “staying under the radar,” he is part of the problem in my view. I’m not trying to be hysterical here, but seriously, if a Nazi who was involved in shipping Jews to the camps just “stayed under the radar,” would it have absolved him?
“I have known (and still know) many fine FBI Special Agents.”
Have any of them raised even a single word of objection to what’s become of their agency?
If they haven’t, they’re not “fine”, they’re complicit.
