The FBI was once the premier law enforcement organization in the world. It has been heralded in books and movies, and FBI agents have generally been seen by the public as upstanding, morally exceptional people, who put the safety and well-being of the American people first. Well, those days appear to be, at least in the era of Joe Biden, behind the FBI. The FBI has more important things to worry about now, like harassing grannies who took selfies of themselves at the Capitol on Jan. 6, and parents who attend school board meetings instead. And like their crime-fighting standards, the FBI also seems to have loosened their hiring standards for, you guessed it, DEI, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The FBI’s woke agenda has put our country’s safety at risk by prioritizing DEI hires rather than qualified candidates.

Recruitment standards must be fixed to put Americans’ safety first.

A group of current and former FBI agents recently handed over a report to both the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees. The agents describe an environment where DEI, not ability and qualifications, has become the standard in the hiring process. Some of the standards being loosened involve things like physical fitness, drug use, finances, mental health, experience, and integrity. The changes have been made “to more easily accommodate a larger pool of available applicants." 

The information received by the current and former agents came from various sources and sub-sources who were deemed "highly credible" and also had first-hand knowledge about the relaxed standards. Another interesting detail: The sources and sub-sources interviewed for the report all were given code names for fear of retaliation by the FBI. Why is the FBI afraid of Americans knowing about their new DEI hiring practices?

One of the sources overseeing the physical fitness portion of the qualification process disqualified a female applicant because she was more than 50 pounds overweight, based on the FBI's body fat index, but was told to continue considering the candidate. Is this the FBI making sure they hire more female agents? The source also claimed that, in another instance, a black female candidate (remember, diversity!) told the source, despite knowing of the physical requirements of the job, that she “hates working out and was never active." 

Basic knowledge of reading and writing in English is also a problem for recruits and new agents. Some must take remedial classes because they are unable to construct a basic sentence with proper capitalization and punctuation. When one source told a new agent that their writing skills needed to improve and that they needed to pay more attention to detail, the new agent stated that the source was being “too difficult and expecting too much.” The source also stated that a female minority new agent was unable to properly fill out a standard FBI interview report, known as an FD-302, but was passed on. When the source went to a superior during the new agent's probationary period, suggesting she should be terminated, he was told that “we need minority female agents.” Other tales of DEI recruits include those who just quit in the middle of the required 1.5-mile run, new agents who have had previous lifestyles of drug use, and a recruit who “was arrested and fought with police officers." But the best recruitment tale has to be the recruit whose bachelor's degree was in Art History and whose only work experience was a two-year stint as a coffee shop barista. There are also tales of new agents who go missing during the day, go home early, and do not want to work late or after-hours operations. 

It appears the FBI is breaking federal law by using illegal race and sex quotas in the name of DEI.

The FBI has refuted the claims of the current and former agents in a statement saying in part,

“Our agents continue to meet the highest standards of personal and professional conduct and rigorous physical fitness requirements. The average age of new agents has remained steady at about 31 years old, which means they bring a wealth of experience and well-developed skills to the Bureau. The number of agents with prior military and law enforcement experience has remained steady at around 20-30 percent of each new class, while the number of new agents with advanced degrees has swelled to nearly 40 percent of each new agent class,”

FBI Director Christopher Wray insists that Special Agent recruiting is going "extremely well," but according to the agents who submitted the report, the DEI parade rolls merrily along. One source says that the FBI is “concerned more about diversity over competence” and has taken a decidedly liberal and racially biased turn, saying:

“SIERRA 23 (the source code name) believes that if you are conservative and/or white male or female, the FBI will treat you harshly for the same offense committed by a minority, gay, or transsexual employee." 

Meet the new and improved FBI.
