Ex-FBI agent Mike German, a 16 year veteran of law enforcement, writes the former directors of the bureau turned it into a 'lawless law enforcer'. In Disrupt, Discredit, and Divide: How the New FBI Damages Democracy, German says: 'The FBI has systemic problems that, left unchecked, make the bureau a threat to the very democracy it is intended to serve'. In a damning history of the FBI, German claims that Mueller, who later became the Special Counsel in the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, wanted to 'remake the FBI in his own image' with no room for dissent. He threw out the safeguards that were brought in by the Church Committee in 1975 and brought about a 'new era of abuse' against citizens. Mueller's FBI has silenced whistle-blowers and created many 'victims of the FBI' says German, who became an adviser to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) after retiring and has written papers attacking the bureau. Comey went further and 'dispensed with the illusion the bureau was impartial and apolitical' when he made his public comments about the investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails in 2016. German claims that Comey breached a 'cardinal rule' of the FBI by commenting on a subject's uncharged behavior and his comments cast a 'cloud of illegitimacy' over Trump's presidency before he even took office.

President Donald Trump has claimed that he is the victim of an FBI-driven 'witch hunt' over the inquiry into Russian interference in the 2016 election. The bombshell book by German, a 16 year veteran of law enforcement, is released at a time of historic tensions between the FBI and the White House +10 The bombshell book by German, a 16 year veteran of law enforcement, is released at a time of historic tensions between the FBI and the White House Trump fired Comey and his successor Andrew McCabe one day before his retirement, meaning he was not entitled to his pension. Trump has also claimed that the genesis of the Russia inquiry was an abuse of process and that former FBI agents such as Peter Strzok, who was also fired after anti-Trump texts he sent became public, were out to get him. German, who is now a fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice and is senior policy counsel at the ACLU, paints a disturbing picture of FBI overreach. Much of his criticism of the FBI is from the left, such as its profiling of minorities and targeting of Muslims after 9/11. However his warning of an out of control bureau, regardless of who the target is, should sound the alarm among Republicans. German writes that in 2001 the FBI came under Congressional scrutiny after a string of failures such as the 1993 Waco siege. The bureau 'slept through the tech revolution' and repeatedly tried to cover up its mistakes, earning scorn from the Senate Judiciary Committee. Committee chairman Patrick Leahy accused the FBI of 'insular arrogance' while Senator Chuck Grassley said the FBI leadership placed a 'higher value on maintaining image rather than rooting out wrong'. Mueller seemed like the perfect choice to fix the mess and the former Marine vowed to welcome constructive criticism and work with Congress to reform the FBI. But a week after Mueller was confirmed, the 9/11 attacks happened and those promises turned to dust. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest
