OPINION| A coalition of former FBI agents have come together to express their concern about the “politicization” of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in light of recent statements and positions that favor Joe Biden. The agents, each with more than 20 years of service under their belt, have noted several instances where the agency appears to be operating on a partisan basis.
For instance, former Director James Comey and current Director Christopher Wray have both been accused by these agents of acting in a way that demonstrates a clear bias towards Biden; this includes inflating domestic violent extremism statistics, 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. This has contributed to low morale among many current agents and has led many Americans to lose trust in the 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,” wrote the agents.
Former FBI agent Nicole Parker shared her views on these matters before Congress, raising concerns over how partisanship had infiltrated ongoing investigations used by the bureau. She also discussed recruitment policies which she believes has watered down the quality of field agents in recent years.
From former FBI Special Agent Nicole Parker's riveting whistleblower testimony: “It's as if there became two FBI's.” This message MUST get out to liberal voters. They are being led down the garden path and they have become too brainwashed to see it. -VJ

The group echoed her calls for reform within the agency: they urged for a thorough investigation into the extent of its “weaponization” as well as a select subcommittee being formed to look into potential changes and fixes. Ultimately, they believe only then can change happen and will help restore public trust in this vital security agency.
“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.
