The Bureau has become irremediably politicized and inveterately corrupt.
Was anyone really surprised when Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) announced that “highly credible” whistleblowers had given him information about FBI efforts to make the Hunter Biden scandal go away? Grassley wrote to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland Monday that “the information provided to my office involves concerns about the FBI’s receipt and use of derogatory information relating to Hunter Biden, and the FBI’s false portrayal of acquired evidence as disinformation. The volume and consistency of these allegations substantiate their credibility and necessitate this letter.” Will anyone hail me as a prognosticator of extraordinary powers when I predict, correctly, that in response to this letter, Wray and Garland will do absolutely nothing, except possibly to cover their tracks more effectively? No, because anyone who has been paying attention can see that.
The FBI has become a cancer on the American body politic. The FBI must go.
Grassley summarized how the FBI spiked the Hunter Biden material, stating that “the allegations provided to my office appear to indicate that there was a scheme in place among certain FBI officials to undermine derogatory information connected to Hunter Biden by falsely suggesting it was disinformation.” He noted that a 2020 FBI intelligence assessment that was “used by an FBI headquarters team to improperly discredit negative Hunter Biden information as disinformation.” He added: “Based on allegations, verified and verifiable derogatory information on Hunter Biden was falsely labeled as disinformation.”
Grassley continued: “In light of these allegations, I remain very concerned that political bias by a select group of Justice Department and FBI officials has infected the Justice Department’s and FBI’s usual process and procedure to open and pursue high-profile and politically charged investigations.” He then concluded: “If these allegations are true and accurate, the Justice Department and FBI are – and have been – institutionally corrupted to their very core to the point in which the United States Congress and the American people will have no confidence in the equal application of the law.”
That’s right. And Hunter Biden isn’t even close to being the first sign of this institutional corruption. Garland even sicced the FBI on parents protesting at school board meetings over the imposition of the woke agenda in public schools. When challenged, Garland insisted that this was all on the up-and-up: “Parents have been complaining about the education of their children and about school boards since there were such things as school boards and public education. This is totally protected by the First Amendment. True threats of violence are not protected by the First Amendment. Those are the things we are worried about here. Those are the only things we are worried about here. We are not investigating peaceful protests or parent involvement in school board meetings. There is no precedent for doing that and we would never do that. We are only concerned about violence and threats of violence against school administrators, teachers, staff.”
That sounds reasonable, but PJ Media’s Megan Fox did a deep dive into the supposed “threats” that school board members had allegedly received that justified FBI intervention, and came up empty. Fox concluded, “There isn’t one legitimate threat on the NSBA’s list or a situation that wasn’t handled easily by the police.” The NSBA is the National School Boards Association, which appealed to the FBI for help, with Wray’s corrupt Bureau only too happy to oblige.
This is the same FBI that consistently denies the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat, and lied outright about the jihadi who stormed the Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, and took hostages in January 2022, demanding the release of convicted jihad terrorist Aafia Siddiqui. FBI Special Agent in Charge Matt DeSarno said: “We do believe from our engagement with this subject that he was singularly focused on one issue, uh, and it was not specifically related to the Jewish community, uh, but we’re continuing to work to find motive and, and we will continue on that path.” Several days later, with the evidence overwhelming, the FBI had to admit sheepishly that it was a targeted attack on Jews after all.
FBI and Homeland Security Department officials have often insisted and frequently repeated the claim that “white supremacists” and other “domestic extremists” constitute the foremost terror threat the nation faces. The FBI is currently pursuing no fewer than 2,700 investigations of “domestic extremism,” more than twice the usual number of such investigations. The dramatic increase in investigations suggests, at least in a sane world, a response to a sharply increased threat, but Biden’s handlers have shown no evidence of a massive spike in “white supremacist” terrorism. It’s just something we’re supposed to take their word for. Timothy Langan, the assistant director of the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division, in November 2021 presented it to Congress as axiomatic: “It goes without saying that the threat from domestic terrorism is heightened and has significantly increased in the last 18 months.”
Does it really? Or is that just what the feds would have us believe as the January 6 Committee continues its efforts to stigmatize legitimate political opposition as terrorism? Even the far-Left Daily Beast reported as far back as April 2021 that “the FBI, without any court order, sifted through the National Security Agency’s massive troves of foreign communications for information on American ‘racially motivated violent extremists,’ a newly declassified order from the secret surveillance court details.”
And all this is aside from the FBI’s role in the Russian Collusion hoax and so much more. The FBI today is a rogue, out-of-control agency in service not of justice but of the interests of the Democrat Party. It should be shut down. But will there ever be a president with the courage to do so?
Ugly Sid says
If corruption were coronary plaque, Biden would advocate heart attacks.
Walter Sieruk says
It’s sad , tragic and even terrible to even think that The Federal Bureau of Investigation is no longer the once grand law and order all American institution that it had once been in the past.
The FBI , for some time , as become thoroughly infiltrated and corrupt by the insidious subversive influence of sly operatives of Communist- Islamic alliance. Also known as “The Red/Green Alliance.”
That wicked force of the Red/Green alliance has only increased in it’s sinister power when Joe Biden and his administration took power on January 20, 2021. Even before that day the FBI wasn’t dong what was originally designed for , meaning investigate and arrested dangerous Communists and kidnappers in the United States. Instead the FBI lines up with the Marxist of Antifa to engage in a despicable schemed set up and entrapment against American patriots at Washington on January 6, 2021 and then go after go after concerned Conservative parents at different PTA meeting across the country libeling them as “domestic terrorists” all the while letting the violent dangerous and destructive actural, real , domestic terrorists of Antifa and BLM go investigated and go free.
Truth can be stranger than fiction.

What do we do with the Justice Department? When charges are brought against J6 protesters for ‘illegally entering the Capitol’ but are not brought against the Colbert team, then where do we go for relief? The first group was arrested, denied bail and placed in solitary confinement. The second was allowed to leave the premises and DOJ declined to prosecute.. The Justice Dept. prosecuted Steve Bannon for contempt of Congress but let Eric Holder slide. It’s not just the FBI. The entire system is rotten.
Wellington says
“It’s not just the FBI. The entire system is rotten.”
Agreed. Either the Swamp is finally drained or America will continue to be run by tyrants who engage in a two-tier justice system which shills for the Left.
All decent FBI employees (what’s left of them) should resign. A massive amount of resignations would be a major step in the right direction and be noted throughout the country.
CogitoErgoSum says
Wellington, don’t you think that would be counterproductive? It would allow the corrupt administrators to fill the vacancies with people who think the same way they do. In addition, there is a part of the FBI, the Identification Division, that serves as a repository for fingerprints and criminal records submitted by the various state law enforcement agencies across the U.S. I think it serves as a valuable resource in identifying criminals, and not only criminals but unidentified deceased individuals or people with amnesia. Demolishing the entire FBI may not be the best of ideas. Reforming it would be better in my opinion.
CogitoErgoSum says
BTW, the FBI Identification Division is not even at FBI HQ anymore. It was moved several years ago to somewhere in West Virginia, I believe. It might be a good idea to get the entire FBI out of DC and to provide for non-partisan oversight of it.
Wellington says
It would not be counterproductive, CES, IF Congress then did the right thing and created a new internal security agency that would replace the FBI. So, I should have added this “addendum” to my comment, otherwise your scenario could play out and we’d be even worse off.
What it ultimately comes down to is the three branches of government being far better than they have ordinarily been over the past half century or so (N.B., Trump’s Presidency was a temporary break from this rot). Agencies like the FBI, the CIA, the NIH, DHS, the CDC, et al. are not the ultimate problem. They are a terrible result of the ultimate problem and that is that the overall federal government, i.e., the three main branches of government, no longer works very well at all. It’s breakdown time at the top and this does not bode well for the democratic republic which has been America.
CogitoErgoSum says
Yes, our country was set up to be run by intelligent and moral individuals who, if they did not expect, at least hoped that moral and intelligent people would come after them. With the growth in our population our country should have produced hundreds of Jeffersons, Franklins and Madisons by now …. but where are they? Instead we have stupid, immoral and corrupt politicians like Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, along with fools like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and Pete Buttigieg waiting in the wings. It’s may be a lost cause but I can only hope for better with the next election … as we have always hoped. Maybe we will get lucky next time.
Wellington says
Again, CES I find we are on the same page. Yes indeed, minus moral intelligence and common sense, both something very different from pure intelligence. any polity is lost.
We are presently very lost right now. Big time.

““As we have detailed, multiple whistleblowers have disclosed how the Biden FBI is conducting a ‘purge’ of FBI employees holding conservative views,” the letter read.’
“It appears instead that the FBI is more focused on classifying investigations to meet a woke left-wing agenda.
The letter asked for pertinent documents about “domestic violent extremism” cases and how they were classified, to be provided no later than Aug. 10.
This isn’t the first whistleblower report out of the FBI or Department of Justice to raise alarms, either.’

“Whistleblowers Make Stunning Accusation About Biden Admin’s Focus on ‘Domestic Terrorism'”
‘However, after all of this hullaballoo, whistleblowers say the FBI wasn’t able to turn up enough cases of “domestic terrorism” to fit the narrative — so agents were pressured into classifying cases as domestic terrorism even if they weren’t.
The whistleblowers’ accusations were made public in a letter from GOP Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, the ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, in a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray on Wednesday, according to the Daily Wire.”

The above is just a little bit of what is in the report about what the upper crust are doing to get more cases classified as domestic terrorism without any evidence that they are.

FACT: The DoJ (FBI) is 97% Democrat. And that really says it all. That’s why Hillary was unindicted; the Trump campaign was illegally spied on; Trump was framed with phony Russia collusion; Trump was falsely impeached for a phone call asking about Biden Crime Family crimes; FBI hunted down and arrested 600 Jan 6 Trump voters within 3 short days; FBI never investigated election fraud; FBI will keep Hunter’s laptop buried and refuse to investigate or indict any Biden Crime Family crimes.

“Report: 97 Percent of DOJ Employee Political Donations Went to Hillary Clinton”
by Matthew Boyle
” Like the DOJ, other government agencies’ workers’ donations are similarly heavily tilted in Clinton’s direction. An astounding 99.4 percent of government workers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture who made donations gave to Clinton over Trump, and the percentages were similar across the rest of government: 98.2 percent at the Department of Commerce, 84 percent at the Department of Defense, 99.7 percent at the Department of Education, 95 percent at the Department of Energy, 96 percent at the Department of Health and Human Services, 90 percent at the Department of Homeland Security, 96 percent at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, 94 percent at the IRS, 99.4 percent at the Department of Labor, 99 percent at the State Department, 95 percent at the Department of Treasury, and 88 percent at the Department of Veterans Affairs. ”
