The FBI has been political since its founding. Stunning Evidence of FBI Weaponization Undermines Dem Narrative of Trump 'Retribution' in Firings
Democrats have cast the Trump administration’s ouster of eight senior FBI leaders as a “purge” and act of “retribution” from a weaponized Justice Department, some likening it to President Nixon’s “Saturday Night Massacre.”
But former colleagues of the terminated “G-men” say this narrative is backward. FBI officials, past and present, have marshaled significant evidence via whistleblower complaints and testimony indicating that several terminated leaders routinely used their offices for partisan purposes.
I'm shocked that the organization once headed by Hoover, and that spied on Martin Luther King, Jr., and more is political.
Okay, I'm not shocked; no one is shocked.
These include allegations that at least two of the fired officials, Jeffrey Veltri and Dena Perkins, manipulated the security clearance review process to personally and professionally punish conservatives, COVID-19 vaccine skeptics, and Jan. 6 whistleblowers who reported suspected bureau malfeasance, and retaliated against those who came to the whistleblowers’ defense.
Hat tip to Irons in the Fire.
And they should be tried for violating federal laws, one of which is going after a whistleblower.
