FBI officials have caved to demands from the Justice Department, providing a list of agents involved in the J6 Capitol riot investigations — and it’s an insanely high number.
Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove instructed FBI leadership to meet a deadline of noon Tuesday to submit the names of these agents and analysts. This follows his earlier directive to fire eight senior FBI officials.
CNN reports that “More than 5,000 names were submitted” to the Justice Department in response to Bove’s demand.
Five thousand? Are you kidding me?
To put it into proper context, there are only roughly 13,000 agents and 38,000 total FBI employees. This means that roughly 13% of the entire FBI was tasked with investigating protestors.
If that seems excessive to you, you’re not the only one.
CNN, of course, is outraged that the mask is off the anti-Trump Gestapo.
