A new report from the Washington Post claims that some agents within the Federal Bureau of Investigation wanted to shut down a probe into former President Donald Trump's handling of classified information because they were "afraid" of being political targets.According to the Post's reporting, these agents argued for shutting down the probe after Trump's lawyers claimed last June to have conducted a "diligent" search of Mar-a-Lago for additional classified documents requested by the government.

Has Trump used his position of power to destroy FBI agent's careers? This should be illegal.

(21,280 posts)it is about the GAO, Government Accountability Agency, a watchdog agency that came up with recommendations for DOJ and the FBI to do internal audits on the failures of intelligence leading up to the J6 insurrection. Merrick Garland and Christopher Wray have not done those internal investigations. Maybe an institutionalist is afraid he may find members of law enforcement wer complicit and that would do damage to the DOJ and FBI?
Christopher Wray flat out lied to Congress and nothing was done to him.

(3,316 posts)FBI. Have we gotten to the point where there are enough bad actors that it puts a taint on the whole of these 2 departments. Personally I am in a wait, see and hope moment with the DOJ. The FBI however, not nearly as much.
There have been times in our past where the FBI has acted like the private police of an executive branch but it always appeared that with a new president and the ouster of head individuals that the FBI as a whole persevered. This time however it would appear otherwise. It looks like the aliens within the FBI are trying to colonize.
"I want to believe" is turning into can I still believe?

Always remember, their obsession with the "Deep State" was always projection.
