‘Incompetent, arrogant’: Local LEOs reportedly reluctant to share critical info with FBI over ‘disturbing loss of trust’

Local law enforcement officers no longer trust the FBI, according to a group of retired and active-duty FBI whistleblowers.

On Wednesday the group delivered a report documenting their findings to the House Judiciary Committee, according to Miranda Devine of the New York Post.

In the report, they said that local law enforcement has developed a “disturbing loss of trust in the FBI” and are, as a result, reluctant to share info/findings/data with their FBI higher-ups.

“Police officers and sheriff’s deputies on patrol and detectives investigating illegal activity in their jurisdictions have unparalleled visibility into street-level crime,” the report reads.

“When this information is not immediately shared with the FBI, the FBI is left to address complex, evolving threats facing the United States with an unacceptably vast and debilitating ‘blind spot’ because [it] does not have enough personnel and resources to see into every corner of the country,” it continued.

Who deserves blame for the mistrust? Likely the FBI.

Indeed, the report notes that the over 30 “independent, highly credible law enforcement sources and sub-sources” across the country whom they spoke with all “do not trust the FBI because they believe the FBI in recent years has been operating as a partisan federal agency motivated by a political agenda.”

“They are not only reluctant to work with the FBI but reportedly have decided to no longer share actionable, substantive information on criminal and other intelligence-related activity with the FBI,” the report reads.

Especially concerning is what the whistleblowers refer to as a “crisis of confidence” in FBI-led joint task forces where the bureau’s relationship with local officers has deteriorated and nearly “imploded” because of “poor management and ineffective leadership by the FBI.”

Here’s the kicker: Local officers said that the FBI’s response to the Jan. 6th riot and their raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort contributed mightily to this distrust.

“One source, a 25-year veteran sergeant in the Major Crimes Division of a large police force in a Western state, said they ‘cannot understand why the FBI is not going after [far-left militant group] Antifa, BLM and pro-Palestinian rioters with the same vigor the FBI brought to bear against’ J6 participants,” Devine reported.

“Another source, a 15-year veteran cop from a Southern state, said many local law enforcement officers ‘believe they could be targeted by the FBI and the DOJ because of their love for the United States of America and may be perceived as domestic terrorists because of how they may vote,'” her reporting continued.

The report itself states that the FBI’s attempt to pressure local law enforcement into assisting with Jan. 6th-related cases “has impacted morale within these agencies” and led to the belief that the FBI has been contaminated by a “partisan, political agenda.”

Said law enforcement believes that “FBI leadership would exploit any information provided to them to violate the law and the constitutional rights of suspects who are under investigation, as well as ­innocent citizens.”

One source who spoke with the whistleblowers said the FBI’s behavior was “that of a third world country [and that the bureau] should be dismantled and its personnel prosecuted and given long prison sentences.”

It gets worse.

The head of a multi-agency task force claimed that recent FBI hires on their teams “do not bother to conceal their distaste for disfavored political and religious views.”

“Newer FBI special agents identify themselves as ‘woke or liberal’ and are often openly critical of Conservative or Christian ­values,” the report reads.

Another of the whistleblowers’ sources said that FBI personnel are “almost always … arrogant, aloof and condescending [with] little if any, tactical skills to support themselves or the safety of their team while out on the streets.”

In other words, they’re all young, dumb, “woke” zealots.

“The picture that emerges of the FBI is of an incompetent, arrogant, bloated bureaucracy that includes a new generation of DEI hires described as ‘completely worthless’ and ‘the worst batch of people,'” Devine noted.

The report also aimed criticism at the FBI Academy for New Agent Training in Quantico, VA, which it says “promotes a cult of narcissism by imbuing a false sense of superiority over all local, state, and federal law enforcement.”

Instead of spending money teaching the value of “humility and a higher sense of service and professionalism,” the academy has reportedly wasted money on a “wellness” center so recruits can pursue yoga and meditation.

The academy is reportedly so politicized that “at one point, a group of conservative students held up handwritten signs displaying the word ‘STOP’ in response to the instructor’s constant political denigration of Trump and Republicans,” according to Devine.

The report also contained documents backing up claims that the FBI has been attempting to purge conservatives from its ranks.
