Taking down the FBI, is that the GOP’s next big target?
FBI Director Touts Record Job Applications Despite Bashing of Bureau
From the title, it sounds all good.
But, is it?
The FBI was asked if they have recruiting problems after all the terrible things Trump and the Republicans have been saying about them. They said they’re having record numbers of recruits. And then you read this:
The FBI did not respond to Government Executive requests for the latest applicant numbers, which had dropped over the past several years.
And check this out:
When compared against the fiscal 2019 enacted level, the fiscal 2020 request level represents a total decrease of $267.8 million
Quarter billion dollars less is a lot less money.
And then after all this good news and positive words this is how Wray ended his testimony.
No question about it, Wray added when asked about adequate resources, “we’re stretched thin.”
