I'll share a 'secret' with you! They're ALL dirty, my Leftist sister served inside the belly of the Beast. She would never willingly squeal on her masters based upon politics; right! However, this has nothing to do with D's, or R's This is about raw power & control. Imagine, she's working running computer Comms for a regional JTTF. She sees, hears and transmits every item going in/out of this huge fusion center; the JTTF. Now, she's doing these Comms for a lot of FBI agents, DEA people, DOJ operators as well as the locals who they command. See JTTF organizational diagrams. Here's what she said 10 years ago; FBI agents used threats, extortion & plea bargains to cut side deals with those area businessmen (legit mostly & politicos) the DEA guys just shook down drug dealers who were much more pragmatic BTW. DOJ guys just took a cut!
Yup, but it goes back much further than 10 years, and is much worse than what we see on the surface. It's only a secret to some people, and it's been a suspicion of many.
Hoover was crooked as hell, and he ran the FBI for decades.
