The FBI has suffered from one black eye and another. The highest law enforcement body in the country has been outed for partisan behavior. In 2020, the agency refused to investigate Hunter Biden’s laptop, admitting it would influence the election.
We later learned that the agency had evidence that implicated Joe Biden for years, yet it did nothing about it. The FBI sent 30 armed officers to raid former President Trump’s home as if he was a cartel leader.
But this toxic partisan politics goes much deeper than we realize. New documents are coming out over what the FBI does to its own employees. Officials were conducting a security clearance review for a long-serving employee. Guess what they were asking about?
From Just the News:
FBI officials conducting a top-secret security clearance review for a longtime employee asked witnesses whether that employee was known to support former President Donald Trump, if he had expressed concerns about the COVID-19 vaccine or had attended a Second Amendment rally, according to internal memos that prompted a complaint to the Justice Department’s internal watchdog alleging political bias inside the bureau.The employee’s security clearance was revoked months after the interviews, which confirmed his support for Trump and gun rights and his concerns about the COVID vaccine, according to the documents obtained by Just the News.
In yet another damning story for the FBI, it has been learned that officials revoked an employee’s security clearance over his apparent political views. Officials poked around to determine the worker’s political leanings by asking if he supported Trump, expressed doubts over Biden’s COVID vaccines, or even attended a Second Amendment rally.
Obviously, all of these views are commonly associated with conservatives. This employee was conservative-leaning, and the agency revoked his or her security clearance.
This suggests that the FBI conducts “purity tests” for its employees. That could mean granting security clearance (required to conduct investigations and advance in the agency) to only those with liberal-leaning views. This might lead to a scenario where only Democrats are hired or promoted within the agency.
Do you like the idea of only Democrats working at the FBI? How long before such a situation results in the FBI going after Republican voters? Why should a future Republican president trust the FBI when his political enemies entirely staff it? It is against the law for Congress to conduct political tests for agency appointees. Shouldn’t that be true for the agencies themselves?
Key Takeaways:
- The FBI revoked an employee’s clearance over his conservative views.
- The agency investigated the person’s support for Trump and rejection of the COVID vaccine.
- This suggests the FBI is trying to weed out conservatives from its ranks, leaving only Democrat agents.
