If Trump did nothing else, just this was worth it. "People briefed on the matter told CNN" sounds very suspect, though.

quote:

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has reassigned several agents who were photographed kneeling with demonstrators during a 2020 protest in the wake of police killing of George Floyd, people briefed on the matter told CNN.

The reassignments, viewed as demotions by many inside the FBI, come nearly five years after the episode that ignited controversy inside the bureau. FBI officials offered no explanation for changing the roles to less coveted positions for the agents, according to sources.

The FBI declined to comment to CNN, citing its policy to not discuss personnel matters. Agents affected didn’t respond to requests for comment.

The targeting of the kneelers is part of a broader effort by the new FBI leaders to make good on promises to root out what President Donald Trump has called “woke” and politicized elements inside the agency.

A former FBI official said punishing agents involved in the incident now raises concern that the bureau is bypassing its regular disciplinary process, which can take months and even more than a year to review incidents.

“This notion that the bureau would go after these people, it’s just disgusting,” the former official said.

After quickly ousting senior FBI leaders, the Justice Department has said it is reviewing the conduct of more than 1,500 agents associated with cases that have found disfavor in the new Trump era, including investigations of the president and his allies. FBI agents who executed the search warrant on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home and who worked on January 6, 2021-related cases have been bracing for possible retribution, current and former agents said.

How embarrassing, I would fire my deputies on the spot if they did such.

I'm for termination for all of them wearing masks outside. Not that I think wearing masks INSIDE is of any use...you just have to be a special kind of gullible to believe wearing them outside mattered in combating COVID-19.

You mean gay?

And why is it always whitey doing the virtue signaling? The only person I see that appears to clearly be black is standing. White liberals are the worst.

That fat chick in the back...


As it should be noted, the group consists of white women and a cuck guy who has to hold himself up while kneeling.

Drop the publicity mind games, ignore the sanctimonious and hypocritical protests from the corrupt bureaucrats and CLEAN HOUSE while the opportunity is there. There is no chance of changing the inner/subjective beliefs of those that embrace Egalitarian ideology. I.e., Transnational Progressivism. And the supreme irony is that TP - in theory- is true. And that is why it has infected the best minds in Academia and Politics. Tell the “truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth “. And the TPs won’t and don’t because honest people would never by into a lie-based half-truth scheme for total control by delusional liars.

1. Great. This is exactly what I voted for. Actually I voted to have them fired but you can't always get what you want.

2. CNN always writing an article on what happened and throwing in the criticism of some leftist loon to steer the audience.

it's even worse that they are wearing their masks (and sunglassess) in an effort to hide their identity.

So they want to virtue signal, but not have their names known... while making sure everybody knows they are FBI.

In other words, they want no personal risk, will only reveal themselves if beneficial, but make sure the FBI's rep is on the line.

Looking like more of the same from Republican appointed cabinet members.

I'm 100% sure they will be campaigning on "hold the line" "Arrests are coming" Just vote for us or the dems will reverse course and they will get away with it," Throughout the 2026 and 2028 election cycle.

See, History proves that Republicans are NOT in fact about change, but they are very much about using the hope of change to get elected.

Maybe they're protected under a merit system, and it’s not a fireable offense. Maybe they are being transferred to a supervisor who will make life miserable on them in an area where they will be miserable. Basically, the next best thing.

Maybe they are being transferred because someone doesn't have the balls to do what is right.

Half assed measures never work. Cancer must be eradicated. You don't let it spread.

Patel has been nothing but a blowhard disappointment so far. Bondi is more embarrassing than he is.

I thought it was difficult to become an FBI agent. These people look like day care center workers.
