FBI agents group tells Congress to take urgent action to protect against politicization

The FBIAA, a voluntary professional association representing more than 14,000 active and retired FBI special agents, urged Congress to take action to protect FBI personnel.

FIRST ON FOX— The Federal Bureau of Investigation Agent’s Association (FBIAA) sent a letter to House and Senate leaders Monday raising "urgent concerns" over recent actions taken by acting DOJ and FBI personnel, which they say could threaten the careers of thousands of employees and risks disrupting the bureau's essential work.

The FBIAA, a voluntary professional association representing more than 14,000 active and retired FBI special agents, cited in particular the order from acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove to terminate the entire FBI senior leadership team, and the assistant director in charge of the Washington Field Office, as well as the order for bureau employees to compile lists of all current and former personnel who worked on investigations related to January 6, 2021, and a Hamas-related case.

The FBIAA said the lists "will be used to determine whether those individuals should face additional personnel actions," though the Trump administration has not yet said it will move to take action against individuals involved.

Still, the group said, the recent actions taken by the Trump administration have given them reason for concern.

"Put simply, Special Agents who risk their lives protecting this country from criminals and terrorists are now being placed on lists and having their careers jeopardized for carrying out the orders they were given by their superiors in the FBI," the group said, saying the actions both lack "transparency and due process," and "are creating dangerous distractions, imperiling ongoing investigations, and undermining the Bureau’s ability to work with state, local, and international partners to make America safe again."

Too late for that. It was politicized some time ago. Should have stood up against it then. But not a peep...

That ship has sailed, FBIAA, and you were at the tiller.

I say banish the acronym to obscurity and fold the FBI into something else.  Keep only up to first line supervision and jettison the rest.

It only took the FBI 16 years to find Whitey Bulger ... living down the street from their L.A. office.
