...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time...
Special Agent Nicole Parker testified to a House panel investigating the "weaponization" of the federal government that the bureau is plagued by "low morale," has become "politically weaponized," and has lowered its standards for new agents.
Parker’s emotional testimony Thursday highlighted the first hearing by the new House Judiciary Committee’s Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.
"Over the course of my 12-plus years of service, the FBI’s trajectory transformed," said Parker.
"The FBI became politically weaponized, starting from the top in Washington [and] trickling down to the field offices," she alleged, saying that it felt "as if there became two FBIs."
Parker, who worked out of the FBI’s Miami field office, resigned from the bureau last year and publicly announced that she had left in an op-ed for Fox News last month, from which she borrowed much of her testimony on Thursday.
In the op-ed, Parker claimed the bureau has been troubled by "one politicization issue after another," citing the case of agents in FBI vests who knelt with Black Lives Matter protesters in Washington following the murder of St. George Floyd
...the patron saint of Minneapolis, a sterling example for our children and indeed for us all. St. George was martyed by the Devil's agents in blue while standing on a street corner preaching tolerance and racial justice or something like that...by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.
"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," Parker wrote, adding that it was "appalling" that the agents were not even reprimanded.
