A group of retired FBI agents have voiced their apprehension about the FBI becoming politically biased in favor of Joe Biden. The agents, who have each served for more than 20 years, have highlighted several occasions where the agency has shown a bias towards a political party.
Some FBI agents have accused former Director James Comey and current Director Christopher Wray of showing a bias towards Biden. They claim this includes exaggerating domestic violent extremism numbers, instructing big tech companies to censor Americans, and a controversial raid on President Trump’s home while withholding important information related to the Hunter Biden investigation. These issues have resulted in low morale among some current agents and a loss of trust in the FBI by some Americans.
We agree privately and uniformly that [the] FBI is heading in the wrong direction and has been too entrenched with partisan politics, starting from Director Comey and intensified under Director Christopher Wray. We identified with Nicole Parker’s claim that ‘The FBI became politically weaponized, starting from the top in Washington trickling down to the field offices,’ illustrated by inflating domestic violent extremism statistics, directing big tech companies to censor Americans, conducting an unprecedented raid on President Trump’s home while suppressing key details related to the Hunter Biden probe as ‘disinformation’ and so on. We have observed firsthand that too many FBI current agents are suffering low morale and too many Americans have lost trust in FBI,” wrote the agents.
Former FBI agent Nicole Parker shared her views on these matters before Congress, raising concerns over how partisanship had infiltrated ongoing investigations used by the bureau. She also discussed recruitment policies which she believes has watered down the quality of field agents in recent years.
From former FBI Special Agent Nicole Parker's riveting whistleblower testimony: “It's as if there became two FBI's.” This message MUST get out to liberal voters. They are being led down the garden path and they have become too brainwashed to see it. -VJ

The group echoed her calls for reform within the agency: they urged for a thorough investigation into the extent of its “weaponization” as well as a select subcommittee being formed to look into potential changes and fixes. Ultimately, they believe only then can change happen and will help restore public trust in this vital security agency.
“It is no exaggeration to say that [the] FBI has no longer functioned as an apolitical agency, an agency with no bias. The top two floors of the Hoover building are filled with self-served and greedy bureaucrats, not doers, just talkers. It’s time to clean house, restore public trust and start over. A thorough investigation is justified. Creating a select subcommittee and opening up investigation is a step in the right direction. More FBI agents need to come forward, tell the truth and uncover the extent of the FBI’s weaponization. Change only happens when we fight for it. I believe deeply that we need a reformed FBI. To address and fix the problems, we should first identify the problems,” wrote the agents.
