A group of former senior FBI agents has come forward about the apparent “politicization” of the bureau in a letter sent to the Daily Caller, calling for the agency to be investigated in order to restore public trust in the bureau.
The agents cited specific instances of favoritism for Joe Biden: directing big tech companies to censor Americans and conducting an unprecedented raid on President Trump’s home while suppressing key details related to the Hunter Biden probe as “disinformation”.
The agents, each of whom served for more than 20 years, told the Daily Caller that the bureau has become “too entrenched with partisan politics.”
The agents chose to remain anonymous out of fear of retaliation. That should tell you everything you need to know about the current FBI.
“We agree privately and uniformly that [the] FBI is heading in the wrong direction and has been too entrenched with partisan politics, starting from Director Comey and intensified under Director Christopher Wray. We identified with Nicole Parker’s claim that ‘The FBI became politically weaponized, starting from the top in Washington trickling down to the field offices,’ illustrated by inflating domestic violent extremism statistics, directing big tech companies to censor Americans, conducting an unprecedented raid on President Trump’s home while suppressing key details related to the Hunter Biden probe as ‘disinformation’ and so on. We have observed firsthand that too many FBI current agents are suffering low morale and too many Americans have lost trust in FBI,” the agents wrote.
In February, former FBI Agent Nicole Parker testified before Congress that partisan politics are spilling into the bureau’s investigations, citing the infamous instance where agents kneeled in solidarity with Black Lives Matter rioters.
Watch:
The group of former agents agreed with Park’s call for a top-down house cleaning at the FBI:
“It is no exaggeration to say that [the] FBI has no longer functioned as an apolitical agency, an agency with no bias. The top two floors of the Hoover building are filled with self-served and greedy bureaucrats, not doers, just talkers. It’s time to clean house, restore public trust and start over. A thorough investigation is justified. Creating a select subcommittee and opening up investigation is a step in the right direction. More FBI agents need to come forward, tell the truth and uncover the extent of the FBI’s weaponization. Change only happens when we fight for it. I believe deeply that we need a reformed FBI. To address and fix the problems, we should first identify the problems,” wrote the agents.
