The New York Times does get one thing correct right off the bat: Historically, the FBI’s critics have come from the Left. But that’s all changed ever since the FBI started investigating Donald Trump, and now progressives are huge fans of the security state. The FBI was colluding with Twitter to present the Hunter Biden laptop story as part of a Russian disinformation dump? Good, the FBI should protect us from disinformation.
The Times seems concerned, though, that some Republicans who are going to take over the House next month are trying to “undermine” the bureau. (Meanwhile, Peter Strzok is pimping his Substack.)
Donald Trump’s supporters — among them, Republicans poised to take over the House next month — have stepped up their assaults on the FBI, seeking to undermine the bureau just as it has assumed the lead in an array of investigations of Trump. https://t.co/2ZsSy99z14

We can’t get over the language here: “stepped up their assaults.” They’re not even in office yet and they’re assaulting the poor, helpless FBI.
Excellent!

Confident the FBI leadership has undermined the credibility of the bureau.
When FBI leaders take CSE investigators off cases to round up J6 trespassers, or investigate garage door pulls, they've undermined their own credibility.

The @FBI has been investigating Trump since 2015.

FBI *literally* falsified evidence it submitted to a secret FISA court to spy on Trump through Carter Page. FBI *literally* interfered in the 2020 election by suppressing Hunter’s laptop. Yet @nytimes spins it to portray FBI as the victims of “assaults” by “Trump’s supporters”… https://t.co/Iv2bp41d0t

Every NYT article is filtered through the FBI, or possibly the other way around for a long time now.

The FBI must be disbanded. There is no coming back from all of the wrongs they have done to America.

The @nytimes is a filthy rag. All the more dangerous because millions of unsuspecting sheep–including friends, neighbors and family of mine–still regard it as the paragon of truth. Accepting the facts about the #NYT would shatter their world view.

Considering the incestuous nature of FBI and big tech would it be outrageous to assume the same is true at news media and therefore writing stupid stories like this?

The alphabet crews will NEVER stop “investigating” Trump, if or until they find/plant something.

Everyone knows the @nytimes and @FBI are both on the same political team.

That sounds like something a media outlet that is controlled my the FBI would say@julie_kelly2

Interesting that the FBI needs to cover themselves against oversight by the US House. Why might that be the case? Are they afraid of what might be found? Or is this a defensive move that would delegitimize any inquiry against them.

The FBI seems to be a tad bit compromised.

How many FBI agents work at the Times?

How about the FBI-to-Twitter pipeline? They even had their own Slack channel to welcome their old buddies aboard and catch up on old times.
Well, the Twitter files dump sure did not help the FBI’s reputation. What they did was criminal targeting conservatives.

For the sake of journalism, could you be transparent and release the amount of “former” @FBI @CIA @dhsgov employees you currently have under your employ of any purpose
— JoHn_NaDa (@25cbowman25) December 28, 2022
That would be interesting to know. The FBI certainly had its tendrils in all of the major social media platforms.
