Starting in 2009, the civil service has binged on incompetent hires. This disaster was over a decade in coming. Bill Shipley, former DOJ prosecutor and current J6 defense lawyer, on what has wrecked the FBI since Obama’s tenure:
The Bureau made a very obvious and impactful decision in its recruiting priorities. No longer were former military or state/local law enforcement agents the “preferred” candidates. The priority became reshaping the workforce to “look like society as a whole.”
College campuses were the recruiting grounds. Professional degrees in accounting, law, engineering were no longer valued above soft social science degrees.
Prior law enforcement or military experience in leadership was now an hindrance to FBI training for a new century.
What the whistleblower is reporting is the natural evolution of that. Those moving into upper management learned in college that conservatism is not a legitimate political viewpoint. It cannot be given equal space in society to liberal/progressive outlooks on societal problems.
So conservatives in the ranks of the FBI must be made to leave.]
“It would be unsurprising if the Secret Service has undergone a similar purge, trading competence and relevant experience or knowledge for ideological compatibility. That may be at the root of its current dysfunction.”
It looks like the USSS traded in the strong, capable former military guys for fat lesbians.
I suspect that we can add some petty dick measuring, possibly coming from as high as the white house. Basically as part of the mid to upper level bureaucracy showing each other that they agree that Trump was never a legitimate president, his secret service detail was reduced to the minimum, and filled with the least experienced agents.
