Key Takeaways:
- During the Obama presidency, the mission of the FBI shifted from focusing on crime-fighting to focusing on promoting ideology.
- Agent hiring shifted to finding those with a particular ideological agenda.
- Citizens who resisted Obama’s agenda of “fundamentally transforming America” became targets of FBI surveillance and investigation.
- When Donald Trump was elected president, he became a political enemy of the FBI.
- During the Biden presidency, the FBI became weaponized to go after Christians and other “extremists” who disagreed with open borders and other far-Left ideological viewpoints.
- Under Kash Patel, the FBI is focusing on actual crime-fighting – drug cartels, human trafficking, terrorist attacks, cyber-crime rings, and holding past law-enforcement abusers accountable.
- All federal agencies and agency leaders should be answerable to the citizens of the United States of America – the FBI is no exception.
Something strange is happening at the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
For years, the Bureau operated not like a crime-fighting agency – but like a politically-correct, ideologically-driven bureaucracy.
Now, things are shifting—and fast.
Suddenly, it’s like the FBI has been injected with steroids.
It’s a transformation barely noticed by most Americans.
Here are 4 dramatic changes the media is ignoring and not telling you about:
Change #1: The FBI under Obama shifted from crime-fighting to promoting ideology.
Under Barack Obama the FBI changed its culture.
The staffing shifted from hiring agents with mixed political views to those aligned with a partisan, ideological agenda.
It was done in the name of social justice – but for the underlying purpose of political transformation.
You might say the FBI became a branch of the Democratic Party rather than a neutral law-enforcement body.
Then when Donald Trump took office in 2017…those ideological bureaucrats stayed put.
Very little changed—leaving the Bureau still driven by political motives more than by public safety.
And President Trump was one of their primary “political” enemies.
Change #2: Under Biden the FBI became weaponized law-enforcement.
When Joe Biden became president, the FBI slipped even further into ideology and politics—to the point of targeting an ex-President for life behind bars.
Their actions raised serious questions about human rights abuses and legal overreach.
In addition, hundreds of conservative Americans and organizations were targeted, surveilled, intimidated or sued.
Conservative and Republican groups, churches, parents fighting school censorship and woke public school policies – even Republican members of Congress – were victims of FBI harassment.
Many were labeled “extremists” or “domestic terrorists.”
The FBI functioned as ideological enforcer and political police.
Change #3: Now: With new FBI leadership, real crime-fighting returns.
Enter Kash Patel at the helm of the FBI.
With only a few months at the helm, the Bureau is turning sharply toward actual crime-fighting.
In the crosshairs:
- Violent drug cartels and networks
- Human traffickers
- Cyber-fraud crime rings
- Terrorist groups and attacks
The ideological zealots are being moved aside—and a new task force mentality has emerged.
Change #4: What’s next—and why you should care.
This turnaround matters for every American.
The FBI is no longer wallowing in the weeds of culture and ideological wars.
It’s becoming an engine for cleaning up what is wrong and dangerous in our society.
With three more years ahead, we may see a freer, safer, more ethical America.
But only if we stay vigilant, hold the Bureau accountable, and ensure it doesn’t revert back to ideological policing instead of actually working for justice.
How can we collectively and you individually have an impact?
