Whistleblowers describe the FBI as being rotten to the core and of having a systemic culture of unaccountability. Rampant corruption, manipulation, and abuse are other descriptions whistleblowers used to paint the organization. These whistleblowers also accused the FBI of being biased against conservatives. Their leadership is alleged to be more about following political winds at the expense of actual law enforcement.<\/p>\n

From Fox News:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“The Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the stewardship of Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland, is broken,” the GOP report states. “The problem lies not with the majority of front-line agents who serve our country, but with the FBI’s politicized bureaucracy.”<\/p>\n

Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee say this report is “the first comprehensive accounting of the FBI’s problems to date, which undermine the FBI’s fundamental law-enforcement mission.”<\/p>\n

The report features testimony from whistleblowers who describe FBI leadership in Washington, D.C., as “rotted at its core.” They allege a “systemic culture of unaccountability” and say the bureau is beset by “rampant corruption, manipulation, and abuse.”<\/p>\n

Broadly, the report alleges systemic political bias against conservatives.<\/p>\n

Some allegations were previously disclosed, such as accusations that the FBI is artificially inflating statistics about domestic violent extremism to fit the White House narrative on supposed dangers to democracy, or that counterterrorism authorities were instructed to investigate parents who spoke out at school board meetings.<\/p>\n

Other allegations suggest that the FBI is actively seeking to “purge” employees with conservative views and those who dissent from “woke” diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.<\/p>\n

Additionally, whistleblowers say the FBI’s “political meddling” “is dragging the criminal side [of the Bureau] down” as resources are “pulled away” from investigating crimes. One whistleblower alleged he was “told that child sexual abuse material investigations were no longer an FBI priority and should be referred to local law enforcement agencies.”<\/p>\n

House Judiciary Committee ranking member Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) has spoken about several of these allegations for months. He and Senate Judiciary Committee ranking member Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) have sent letters to the Justice Department and FBI leadership demanding answers on the whistleblower allegations they have received, and those letters are contained within the report.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
