What the Hell Has Happened to the FBI?
What the Hell Has Happened to the FBI? Chapter 342,872… | National Review
It is disheartening to watch, day after day, how infection by partisan politics has degraded a great American institution.

The senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee is demanding that the Justice Department and the FBI investigate the bureau’s top agent in Washington, D.C., over his social-media posts, which are highly partisan — I know, I know, you’ll never guess for which side!
Tim Thibault runs the FBI’s Washington field office which, naturally, handles many of federal law enforcement’s most politically charged investigations. He’s been at the FBI for a quarter-century, is a longtime supervisory agent, and also held top counterterrorism posts.
Turns out, agent Thibault has a very active, highly political presence on LinkedIn, among other platforms. And no, to scrutinize that presence is not to deny that police officials are American citizens who, like everyone else, are entitled to have and to express political views. To attract people to his social-media accounts, Thibault appears to be brandishing his FBI credentials, with the implication that his status and experience give him special insight into the subjects of his ding battery.

As the Washington Examiner’s Jerry Dunleavy reports, Thibault’s public commentary takes aim at Republicans, the Trump administration, the Justice Department under then-attorney general Bill Barr, the American South, and the Catholic Church, among others.

As echoed by our editorial today on the Michael Sussmann acquittal, it is disheartening to watch, day after day, how infection by partisan politics has degraded a great American institution.
Commentary:
When the agents of the FBI begin arresting law abiding citizens for political reasons and tamper with evidence you have to stop and ask why and come to the conclusion that those with corrupted with power in the FBI have adopted the methods of the ill-famed East German STASI.
The realization that corruption can be so thorough and deep yet presents a seemingly clear and convincing appearance of integrity and professionalism...no one wants to believe it, so there's an urge to always look the other way, but when it keeps slapping you in the face---especially in such a personal and poignant way---it can be tremendous blow to an "establishment" mindset.
The Progressive Maoist/DSA Democrat Left and RINO's love to describe how Trump corrupts his supporters but it’s becoming increasingly obvious he has more completely exposed the corrupted and seditious in far larger numbers his opponents.
