While politics has always been a scrappy arena, the arrival of Donald Trump radicalized Democrats and brought them to a level of derangement few could have predicted. Though it may have begun as a top-secret project involving only a handful of officials at the loftiest levels of the Obama administration, the 2016 mission of the FBI, to destroy then-presidential candidate Trump has since metastasized into the Democratic Party’s open war against him.
Under the Biden administration, the scope of this war has expanded beyond the former president himself; it now includes anyone who supports Trump. President Joe Biden made that quite clear when he gave a speech denouncing so-called “MAGA Republicans” as “semi-fascists.”
Biden’s open hostility toward the “MAGA Republican” base has certainly emboldened the bureaucratic officials, academics, corporate leaders, and legacy media tycoons who have helped Democrats put Trump back in his place. His warnings about the threat to democracy Trump supposedly represents have even given their cause a touch of legitimacy, at least in their own minds. After all, isn’t it right to try to rid Washington of this dangerous semi-fascist and his extremist followers?
The problem, of course, is that Biden has no evidence to back his allegations of extremism in the MAGA ranks. Indeed, his one justification for the rant, that Republicans “denied” the results of the 2020 presidential election, is something of which members of his own party are also guilty.
But if new allegations from an FBI whistleblower are true, the intelligence community is trying to change that and give Democrats the cover they need.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) revealed on Monday that a whistleblower within the FBI alleged that the agency recently altered its categorization of Jan. 6 defendant cases to create the illusion that domestic terrorism was far more prevalent than it actually is.
The whistleblower, identified by the New York Post on Wednesday as FBI special agent Steve Friend, told Jordan that instead of assigning all Jan. 6 cases to the FBI’s Washington Field Office, the FBI has allegedly assigned each case to the field office of the home state of each defendant to be investigated separately. That means that instead of tying the Jan. 6 defendants to the same “black swan event,” the FBI has chosen to open hundreds of cases of domestic terrorism throughout the country.
As a result, domestic terrorism in the United States appears to be widespread, which has forced the FBI to take agents and resources away from other important national cases, such as child trafficking cases, the whistleblower added. One FBI superior even told the whistleblower that “child sexual abuse investigations were no longer an FBI priority.”
On top of that, the FBI has expanded the jurisdiction of its investigation into Jan. 6, Friend alleged, opening domestic terrorism cases into people “who were were nowhere near the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, based on anonymous tips to an FBI hotline or from Facebook spying on their messages.” To “widen the net of prosecutions,” Friend said, the FBI has also “post-facto designated a grassy area outside the Capital as a restricted zone, when it was not restricted on Jan. 6, 2021.”
The 12-year FBI veteran objected to the agency’s tactics in August by refusing to participate in a SWAT raid on a Jan. 6 subject in Jacksonville, Florida, according to his whistleblower report. He told his superiors he believed the raid “violated FBI policy and were a use of excessive force against Jan. 6 subjects accused of misdemeanor offenses.” He also considered the raid to be a violation of “the subject’s right under the Sixth Amendment to a fair trial and Eighth Amendment right against cruel and unusual punishment.”
He was fired from the agency this past Monday shortly after filing his whistleblower report with Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz.
Although much of this was already known or at least thought to be true, the critical difference is we now have an eyewitness to the corruption that infects the FBI. In fact, we have at least 20 of them, according to Jordan.
None of this should come as a surprise. The FBI has a long track record of corruption and abuse of authority, as historian Victor David Hanson pointed out in a recent article. He wrote: “The FBI interferes with and warps national elections. It hires complete frauds as informants who are far worse than its targets. It humiliates or exempts government and elected officials based on their politics. It violates the civil liberties of individual American citizens. The FBI’s highest officials now routinely mislead Congress. They have erased or altered court and subpoenaed evidence. They illegally leak confidential material to the media. And they have lied under oath to federal investigators.”
Hanson is right. The corruption runs deep. The FBI has abandoned its declared mission and focuses instead on advancing the political agenda of the Democratic Party.

Center stage the FBI has been in usurping POTUS 45. Bandwagon jumping by the FBI attacks us. Under attack, the People cower. What to do about this, cluelessness prevails other than “elections” – a tool much like paper mâché in the rain. Wet mass may prevail.
Relying on inside the box ideas are fine, but life is on the outside – our answers too.
A need for violence there is none, but bodies need to see light and air so that being seen provides truth needed. Shocked, both them and I, will this do, for reason grows while confidence too. Fear shrinks. Resolve expands.
Trump didn’t radicalize the Democrats. He just exposed them. Now, their wrath is all they can do. Democrats have been radical as long as I can remember, which reached back to the 60s. The only thing that has changed is the degree they will take their radicalism.
Our Republican Party has been very poor in exposing evil, maybe because some in our party are as evil as they. I think the Republican Party, my party, has been in denial most of its time, with the exception of the Reagan and Trump era. The rest of the time we appear to be very weak kneed when it comes to standing up to the evil ways of the left.
If Trump hadn’t come along, many of us might even have forgotten about Reagan. As far as I’m concerned, Trump was even too light with his touch, when it concerns the Democrat Party. They will fight until they can fight no more, and we seem to be able to forget and become complacent.
When it comes to the survival of our country, that has to change because the Democrats have shown us just what they want, and there is nothing good about it.
And, just because the Democrats are at war against everything Trump stands for, that just makes me more of a Trump supporter. I wish more around here would say that. If they are at war against Trump, they are at war against you and I.
The FBI is making the case for its own demise, and they deserve it.
For some reason, I was discussing D-Day with somebody recently, and some of Ike’s pre-sailing orders to the Allied Expeditionary Force headed for Normandy seem almost perfect in their relevance here.
“Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely.”
