FBI special agent Nicole Parker testified before Congress and has appeared in TV interviews to describe the deterioration of the FBI.
She joined the FBI after 9/11. “According to the Wall Street Journal, around 45,000 people applied to be special agents that fiscal year. About 900 made the cut. I was one of them,” she said during a congressional hearing.
”After five months of arduous training at the Academy in Quantico, I was a sworn-in special agent assigned to the Miami Division. I considered it a sacred responsibility and was honored to be entrusted to protect and serve the American people.
“Over the course of my 12-plus years of service, the FBI’s trajectory transformed. On paper, the bureau’s mission remained the same, but its priorities and governing principles shifted dramatically. The FBI became politically weaponized, starting from the top in Washington and trickling down to the field offices.
“Although I was always treated with the highest level of respect in the Miami Division, I no longer felt that I was the type of agent the FBI valued.
ONE POLARIZATION ISSUE AFTER ANOTHER
“Lately, there has been one politicization issue after another at the FBI. Consider an example: on June 4, 2020, images and videos surfaced online of special agents in their FBI-marked ballistic vests kneeling to protesters in Washington, D.C., while on official duty protecting our nation’s institutions.
“Although agents have their First Amendment rights, they are not at liberty to publicly express any potential political support while on duty wearing official FBI gear.
“Some claimed they knelt for de-escalation purposes, but images revealed some agents clapping and smiling! They hardly seemed to be in danger. In fact, the agents posted at another building nearby remained standing during the entire protest.
“On top of that, there was no reprimand for any of the agents who knelt that day. In fact, many ended up getting highly sought-after promotions and were offered $100 gift cards by the FBI Agents Association.
“For many agents nationwide, it was upsetting to see the lack of judgment by the kneelers, much less their apparent political statements while on the job. And the fact that they were treated like heroes by some FBI managers was appalling.
“It’s as if there became two FBIs.’Parker said it’s incidents like this that are destroying the agency’s credibility.“The hardworking and highly ethical agents who still do the heavy lifting and pursue noble cases.
“The majority of agents uphold their oath to support and defend the Constitution with fairness and integrity.”
There has also been a shift in recruiting practices. They are lowering the eligibility requirements. It’s negatively impacting the agency’s performance.
This is DEI Democrats infused into every area of government.

In the fall of 1982 I observed two foreign nationals taking photographs of the Navy’s F-14 fleet outside of Oceana NAS in Virgina Beach, Virginia. I and another sailor engaged with them in small talk and convinced the couple the best location to observe Navy fighter planes flying was at Pax River NAS east of Washington D.C. in Maryland.

No matter what the propagandists say, no person of integrity can remain in the 17 agencies of the Obama/Biden KGB Gestapo. Anyone with integrity has quit. Therefore it is now necessary to remove every employee of all 17 agencies, and to imprison the top tiers of management, for treason against the People of the US.
Every agent and manager at the top should be psychoanalyzed.
The bad ones then exposed and quietly removed from the service.
I suspect the FBI would then be a small but trim and effective service.
I really want to believe that the rank and file agents are excellent people. It is upper management that needs to be replaced.
Upper management needs to be imprisoned. The rank and file need to get pink slips.
Disband the FBI. They’ve been F’ing up big time for years. Start from scratch. Honor the pension agreements from the 3rd level from the top, down. Jail the rest.
Disband all 17 Gestapo agencies, esp, DHS.
The FBI, CIA and other government agencies have clowned their way out of legitimacy and respect. They’re as relevant as the KKK, any street gang or trans story-hour book club.
The FBI needed “thorough cleaning” or “elimination” after Ruby Ridge ( probably before ) … there continued f*** ups are beyond spectacular .. just look at the Gretchen Whitmere alleged kidnapping plots …. yea, I am certain there are some responsible and loyal agents …. but, I think the “rot” is permeated the entire organization … time to defund, drastically… Read more »
Wow! The FBI is corrupt!? No kidding?
