As we continue referencing the key staffing challenges and positions for Trump 2025, in part to frame a proactive outline and in part to highlight the challenges within several positions that have been corrupted by the administrative state; today we look at the FBI {Context Here}.
Arguably the FBI is the key agency within the U.S. government that has provided the most discussion since the agency first targeted presidential candidate Donald Trump in 2015/2016.
The FBI is without doubt the one agency I have spent the most time researching in the past decade; in part due to the researched corruption within it, and in part due to stunning revelations discovered about the way it operates.
With background context previously shared, today my goal is to outline an aspect within the silo that few really understand.
This outline is extremely challenging without context. Some of the questions people have about the agency will hopefully be answered, and my hope is everyone who reads will have new context.
Let’s start with a simple question: How is it the FBI can botch so many openly problematic investigative issues like terrorist attacks, and yet simultaneously spend so much time investigating issues that seemingly have little or no value?
In essence, how does the FBI miss so much, yet have time for things that seem openly political?
The answer to that question took a long time to understand, it’s much more than just institutional corruption.
The FBI as an institution has a modern operational mission that is different from what is commonly thought to exist. The reality of the modern FBI mission consists of prioritizing their work based on the interests of Washington DC, and ONLY the interests of Washington DC.
If a subject can be defined as a priority for the system of government in Washington DC, then that subject is the targeting priority for the FBI. It does not matter what priority is assigned by any outside interest on the issue; nor does it matter what level of importance exists from the actual threat itself.
Example. The FBI misses terrorist threats, because the FBI -as a totally siloed agency- is not informed of the threat from DC. If a citizen, group, or outside agency reports a potential risk it is not investigated. This surfaces in everything from the Boston Marathon bombers to the Parkland shooter, to U.S. gymnasts being sexually assaulted. If the “threat” defined is not a threat to DC interests, then the threat is not pursued by the FBI.
The FBI only investigates threats or subjects of interest that stem from origination in Washington DC. Meaning if the DC system is threatened by the subject, that subject gets investigated. If the DC system does not trigger the notification, the FBI does not investigate it.
In essence the FBI only investigates threats as they are defined by other agencies, or silos, within Washington DC. The FBI is the internal agency that protects the DC system. This is a bastardized concept, a completely screwed up institutional mission, that stems from within the term “the continuation of government.”
A local or state issue, is not a priority for the FBI, even if the issue is a major threat to the domestic tranquility…. UNLESS, that issue, person or group threatens the stakeholders within the DC political system. This manifests openly by the inability of citizens to provide information that triggers action by the FBI.
The FBI only responds to investigative actions requested by agencies within Washington DC. Typically, Main Justice or the DOJ is the source of those originating requests; however, sometimes the executive or legislative branch can trigger the FBI action, if the identified threat has the potential to upset political operations within Washington DC.
Armed with empirical, undeniable evidence of corrupt activity, I was prepared to engage the FBI when I was intercepted by a person who warned me about this operational mission. It was from that point that I really began to understand the FBI as a silo within the system that is entirely predicated on self-preservation.
If a person brings a federal corruption issue to the FBI (like evidence of corrupt activity), they will end up being a target of the FBI because the evidence itself is likely adverse to one or more interests within DC. There are many reference examples, but two you will likely know are James O’Keefe (Ashley Biden diary) and/or voter fraud (writ large, with Michigan as a great example).
Because the Biden Diary threatened the DC government interest, O’Keefe quickly became a target. Because voter fraud in Michigan threatened the DC government interest, the FBI stepped in to cover it up. You can say the same for the Awan brothers, the Huma Abedin laptop, the Clinton classified emails and many more.
The FBI has two ways to protect the interests of DC: (1) Defend by investigating the accuser, evidence holder, or person who raises the issue. (2) Defend by non-investigation of the subject matter (Olympic Gymnasts, Epstein, etc). Again, if the institutional interests within DC are threatened by the subject matter, the objective of the FBI is to defend those institutional interests.
The FBI is not a federal investigative agency with a mission to serve and protect the people of the United States. The FBI is a federal investigative agency with a mission to protect the institutional interests of Washington DC. Once you understand this process with clarity then everything the FBI does and does not investigate, makes sense.
This operational mission of the FBI explains why when a citizen brings an issue to the FBI, the citizen is more than likely going to end up as a target. This reality is key to understanding the disparity between what people perceive as the FBI mission, and what the ACTUAL mission is.
This is not some off-the-cuff disparagement or conspiracy theory; this is the fact-based reality of how the FBI works. Even in my own discussions with John Durham’s FBI investigators, they openly admitted how their operational mission does not permit them to entertain any evidence of corruption or wrongdoing within government.
When you understand how it works, then you start to realize the futility of expecting any investigative outcome from the FBI toward anything that does not threaten Washington DC. Protecting the DC system IS the goal, the priority, the operational mission; nothing more. Does the FBI inability to track the J6 pipe-bomber make more sense now? There are a tremendous number of examples.
The various FBI offices distributed around the nation are essentially interception venues, constantly on the lookout to protect the interests of DC. If an issue surfaces that could potentially put the administrative state, or any actor therein at risk, the FBI is far more likely to intercede, intercept and manage away the issue.
The FBI are essentially investigative managers; they are not concerned with fraud or criminal wrongdoing when/if that fraud or corruption might put a part of the DC system at risk. Instead, the FBI will take control of the problem and throw their investigative blanket over it (Ex. Hunter Biden laptop, as given by the computer repair shop). The non-pretending people within the FBI will admit this, as will just about anyone who has ever had experience reaching out to the FBI for investigative assistance.
Once you take this context and apply it to examples you can reference, then suddenly everything the FBI does and does not do, makes sense. Every contradiction, and I do mean each example that might be pulled into the conversation as a reference point, makes sense from the reality of this perspective. The raid on Mar-a-Lago and the targeting of President Trump is another brutally obvious example.
Many voices have recently started calling for the elimination of the FBI as a result of controversies that surround this factual mission priority. Those voices are not wrong; in fact, there is no way to reform the FBI as an investigative agency, because the mission of the agency is the opposite of what it should be.
The FSB is known to protect the interests of the Russian government; this is accepted and no longer arguable. However, the same purpose is true with the USA and the FBI relationship toward government. Unfortunately, the system of government that benefits from this protection is never going to willingly remove their guards.
The last point on this issue is even more alarming. Only a handful of people within Washington DC will admit the truth behind the FBI mission.
With this in mind, who should be the FBI Director, Deputy Director and Chief Legal Counsel for a President Trump administration.
If the goal is to begin the process to remove the institution, it is going to take a massive amount of public education to get this level of support in place. Removing this one agency silo is going to take up a lot of time by senior members of the Trump administration.

The first step is to FIRE EVERYONE in the federal government that the President is allowed to fire. The second step is to strip security clearances from the 51 intelligence officers. The third step is to fire everyone on the NSC and Joint Chiefs of Staff. Everything evil that can be rooted out on DAY ONE must be done.
Right, there’s not going to be “continuity in scumbags” anymore.
DITTO.
I am still hopeful that the Brunson Brothers multiple cases that they have brought before the Supreme Court, with all of them, except for last one that they filed, denied. The last suit they brought is still listed on the Supreme Court’s page on line.
It looks to me that it has already been decided, in their favor, which would fire the entire Congress, except for the handful of folks who actually followed the law.
IMPOPSSIBLE TO DO! There must be enough left in place to keep us safe, from here and abroad. It will be monumental and will take years and years to accomplish. DJT has the strength to do it….JDV can finish the job. It just has to get rolling.
There is no saving Washington DC. it has to be dissolved, bankrupted, which Trump did while in office, and the district divided and the land given back to the states with the exception of the capital proper and that to be turned into a tourist attraction.
A new seat of government built and populated by real patriot’s
I believe that this is the plan but I’ve been called an idiot for even speaking these words.
You are not an idiot Mr. Overwatch. Personally when it comes to all those big buildings in DC I’ve thought they should be dozed down to the dirt and plant some nice trees and other things and make a park out of a lot of it. Totally annihilate what’s there and maybe most of the land is used for home sites. Nothing left of the evil that was once there and that includes Langley, Virginia.
Keep the buildings. Repurpose them for private sector use. Have them generating tax revenue instead of consuming it.
I agree with you. I believe DC would be better as a mausoleum, museum and tourist attractions, with the truth proudly displayed “beware this is how many governments end; in the sewer”!
My choice would be Philadelphia.
I love Clay Higgins, but thus far, he’s been a little disappointing through the assassination attempt investigation.
In what way?
It never got off the ground. He never got any traction. His recount of the “white bus” incident reminded me alot of Mike Lindell and his disjointed production claiming voter fraud in 2021
Oh please … Higgins is a serious guy, as is Corey Mills, Eli Crane, etc.
Lindell is just a buffoon.
How much would you howl if you were sued for all your lifeblood because of your support of President Trump? Empathy is called for here.
Uncalled for insult to Mike Lindell in my opinion.
Great call, Sundance.
Love Clay HIggins …
Changes at the top are not enough. I have previously recommended that the top 6 layers of leadrship be immediately removed on Day 1. While field agents may be above the corruption on the microscopic level, leadership sets their priorities and guides their actions at the macroscopic level. Equally culpable is the DOJ, where a wholesale housecleaning is in order.
I’m afraid 6 layers won’t do. Scrape it down to a dirt lot. Will there be collateral damage? There always is.
“The reality of the modern ‘U.S. government’ consists of prioritizing their work based on the interests of Washington DC, and ONLY the interests of Washington DC.”
Fixed it for ya’.
As an adjunct to many great reads on this site re the weaponized fbi I suggest a video on youtube channel Crowd Source the Truth titled “the troubling devolution of the Joint Terrorism Task Force.” This video is of an interview of a person called Glen White who was a fire fighter and member of a post 9/11 created entity called a FusionCenter. A few more than fifty were authorized nation wide. They were information gathering hubs staffed by local community police, fire fighters, and other community sources. Their mission was to gather information locally and then disseminate it to the JTTF, an arm of the fbi. Originally designed to gather info on a local level against Islamic based terrorism, in 2010 it changed. John Brennan destroyed all written instructions, manuals, bylaws, etc. which focused on Islam and refocused the entities to target home grown terrorists, or more commonly called American patriots.
Great article!

How does the Bubba Wallace “noose” incident fit into this? I seem to recall they promptly dispatched 30(?) FBI agents to check out that garage.
The Bubba Wallace noose incident, fake racism, fed into the radical left’s narrative that the United States is “systematically racist” so of course they sent 30 agents to investigate. There goal is to “protect the interest of DC”. That interest included proving that under President Trump racism was alive, especially among the NASCAR group of folks. After all, the majority of the people that enjoy the sport are Conservatives…so they must be racist.
Here is a quote from the Motorsport website:
“Placing a noose in his garage stall is a flagrant act of racism and hatred that was clearly aimed to literally terrorize the only Black driver in NASCAR’s top level. It’s like something that you’d expect from the bad old days of racial segregation – and that clearly belongs in the history books, not the NASCAR garage.
Whoever did this wretched stunt has no place in our sport, and I hope NASCAR tracks down the perpetrator and bans them for life. We’ve been told the FBI are now on the property in Talladega, so that should aid the investigation.”
This is the narrative they desperately wanted to be TRUE!
Bloomington MN firefighters found a “rope tied in the shape of a noose” in a fire station, made a bunch of noise about it, turned it over to the FBLie who couldn’t find a culprit but can’t discount that it was put there intentionally, and then refused to release a photo of the so called noose.
This city had a city council made up entirely of democrats and the mayor is buddies with MN AG Keith Ellison who just thanked Brazil for banning X.
I think Clay Higgins would make an excellent head of what used to be called FBI and will now be called Interpublic Interstate Investigations. I would urge Mr Higgins to immediately set up 3 regions and task the states to appoint a manager for their region. The states will also choose within 90 days a regional headquarters city where all FBI employees will have the opportunity to re-apply for their positions in a locally administered environment that serves the people of their region.
That makes sense. So, let’s add a third item to SD’s list: (3) rabble-rousing and mass agitation.
Which proves they are political to the max, inciting race wars and doing the bidding of the weaponized DOJ.
IMHO, NASCAR had screwed the pooch long before this happened. How you could take one of the most popular sport enterprises ever and reduce it to the pathetic shell it is now? (And I’m still trying to find a V8 powered Camry).
I completely agree with you.
The FBI has been a politically compromised agency since the days of J. Edgar Hoover.
He used it for his own political purposes, to ensure the existence, and independence, of the FBI.. by keeping dossiers on politicians. Rumor is that the FBI was behind the “trap” at the Watergate in ’72 because Nixon did not care for Edgar Hoover.
It’s pretty much high time to get rid of it. Indeed, I figure that a Federal Investigate department might not be desirable at all. It should be re imagined. Perhaps four or five branches working semi independently, under the Judicial Branch, and geographically separate: Boston, Miami, Dallas, Atlanta, Phoenix and Boise.
NOTE: why are me posts being “awaiting for approval”?
Because your email address is misspelled, or is a disposable account, probably.
No it is not. My email address has not changed since ’96 when I got my own domain name.
We had an issue when an email thread got deleted last week… when I reported some of the comments. I had some posts in that thread. Did that cause the purgatory status?
Note, I have not changed my email address since ’96.
Please fix this.
Thanks.

In 2005, 31 years after Nixon’s resignation and 11 years after Nixon’s death, a family attorney stated that former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Associate Director Mark Felt was Deep Throat. By then, Felt was suffering from dementia and had previously denied being Deep Throat, but Woodward and Bernstein then confirmed the attorney’s claim.
Well, this is interesting, someone will perform their job unbiased as to political affiliation? Now expand the circle to several dozen for cause under 18 U.S. Code, we here can think of most of them. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/09/fbi-arrests-former-deputy-chief-staff-ny-gov/
The FBI is not a law enforcement agency, the FBI called the Federal B of Investigation. The FBI is the enforcement arm of the “Deep State” and the international bankers (guess who) that use the agency as a protection racket against those try to expose the unconstitutional money system the age old bankers (guess who) that have a monetary death grip on every nation on earth, except maybe for Russia and the very few nations in the Eastern block. War(s) is their (guess who) harvest and that’s where the West is headed. Trump has felt the sting in the right ear of this world wide criminal cabal. Will this be a wake up call for Trump/Vance/Kennedy/Etc. to really clean house if elected. (Guess who)- they are not finished with Trump one way or the other. Brahman Kamala is just a side show of this circus to bring in the clowns. The USA may be well past it’s expiration date.
What’s with the “guess who” stuff? I’m not trying to be dense.
You’re not dense. Just trying not to hurt the tender feelings of some of the treepers by not pointing out the obvious. Who do you think controls the USA and the rest of the Western World? It ain’t Biden and it ain’t Obama or Kamala the Brahman nor Trump. The line is from Rothschild to Fink with some gentiles standing off stage, waiting to enter stage left, which will never happen. Remember to get your shots.
“This operational mission of the FBI explains why when a citizen brings an issue to the FBI, the citizen is more than likely going to end up as a target. ”
The ghost of Joe Paterno says ‘thank you.’
Biden weaponized the swamp creatures at the DOJ and FBI
to go after Trump and associates. This is Election Interference.
The Biden administration created the government criminality,
decay and corruption at the DOJ and FBI.
No, not Biden. It was Obama who did that.
This argument also explains why the FBI will never investigate the whereabouts of the million-or-so minors who crossed our borders in the past four years, and have disappeared into the interior of the country:
To do so would expose not just the deliberate incompetence of the current Democrat regime, but likely also reveal DC-sponsored child sex trafficking operations.
Asking the right question helps you get the right answers. Q. Why is there “the continuation of government.”? Q. Did the government end? Q. If the government did not end when does “the continuation of government” end, if ever? Q. When did We The People consent to these changes?
One answer to your question is “We did not consent.”
They stole it.
They stole it under the umbrella of the manipulated Patriot Act.
From everything I’ve read, continuity of government began in the 1950’s because of the threat of atomic war with the Soviet Union. This is why the Raven Rock Mountain Complex, Mt. Weather Emergency Operations Center, Mt. Pony, Project Greek Island, and others were built. Most of these sites have either been deactivated, sold off, or are used for other things because the advance of missile targeting technology made them obsolete. They were basically designed to keep the government alive while the rest of us fried. Are there other newer more protected sites now? Who knows, but since the government’s main job seems to be covering their own asses, I would bet there are. The question I have, is continuity of government the same as continuation of government or are they two different things with one goal?
If the “rank and file” as Hannity calls them are going to follow hideous orders and march lock step to Mara Lago and invade Melania’s underwear drawer then they need to be ousted too.
Couldn’t agree more. The courageous people who walked away or were fired for complaining should at least be rewarded with fairness if not legal Justice by seeing that those who went along with everything, are not rewarded with keeping their jobs. There is great satisfaction in seeing fairness being done.
Totally agree about changing the personnel. My question, is if DC is so negatively dominating the mission of this agency, would moving it to say, Little Rock improve it?
Coming at this from a different angle, why do we have all our national security eggs in one place in one basket so to speak?
Any decent engineer/designer/architect makes redundancy part of any working system to head off any failure. We have a relatively large country in which to locate mission critical command and control systems away from each other. In the 1800’s, sure we needed concentration for ease of use due to lack of fast communication and transportation. We don’t have that problem now. In the age of asymmetric warfare, (see 9/11 and Chinese balloons floating over our country) the wise government disperses it’s assets. Look at the Ukraine war, drones have made dispersion essential. Units that are bunched together are quickly destroyed. Game over.
My “Scatter The Government To The Four Winds” Plan (draft copy)
State Department – GuamFBI – West TexasCIA – Death Valley, CaliforniaDOJ – Idaho Snake River PlainsJust imagine the economic advantages those communities would gain by having the Federal government move into their abandoned wilderness!
YES! YES! YES! I especially like the idea of Tony Buzbee!!
I like Clay Higgins’ directness.
Tony Shaffer.
Tony is awesome.
I thought of Clay Higgins or Sheriff Clarke for fblie director because to me it never made sense to have lawyers running a supposed LE agency.
I liked Kobach for DHS.
This works SD, nice job!
Sheriff Marc Lamb of AZ is also awesome.
YES. Sheriff Mark Lamb (AZ)
These 3 suggestions are top shelf choices, with impeccable records. Buzbee showed his clear legal mentality w/his defense of Texas AG, made everyone that was behind the charges look foolish and overwhelmed. I think Paxton would be a very good choice as DOJ AG as well.
In short the swamp can’t be saved only replaced.
I’ve been saying this same exact thing for years now. The fbi is the federal government’s lapdog. It’s literally the HR department for the federal government, and its primary purpose is to protect those in power…whether that be the left, middle, and/or right side of the aisle.
Those are some great choices there.
After watching this video, I’m not so sure about your pick for director.
2 likes, nobody seems to care about much anymore (it’s why Wray gets away with his BS), DJT knows he was lucky, not sure the ‘rallies’ are worth it, can’t explain why I had it on, they are all about the same.
Kobach and Higgins, long time favorites. Don’t know Buzbee.
I was a member of Infragard (FBI/citizen/industry information dissemination and intake), and I was pretty disillusioned with it pretty quickly. FBI was take take take and very little sharing, despite the vetting done on people to join. I often got information faster through the NY Times or Brian Krebs for security matters. And their antagonistic attitude toward the general public grew to be too much, and I told them to stuff it – I wanted no part of it.
The FBI handling of cases where “home grown terrorists” were involved seemed to follow the same modus operandi – find a mentally challenged individual, provoke him to anger, give him a fake bomb, arrest him, pat selves on the back and ask for more budget $$$$. The case would fall apart in court, but we rarely ever heard of that. J6 and Megan Whitmer “kidnapping” case, anybody?
I once read a book called “The Spy in Moscow Station” and honestly, the most disappointing part of an otherwise excellent book was the bureaucratic infighting and back-stabbing between agencies in the US. It was all about power, presence, prestige, building fiefdoms, and avoiding looking bad.
That they spied on Trump, used bogus FISA warrants based on nothing truthful, entrapped Flynn, hindered or stopped investigations into election cheating, etc. tells me that they have no moral compass and deserve to be burned to ground and rebuilt with substantial oversight and accountability. Heck, they even gave the FBI files of everyone in congress to Bill Clinton as his first effort to control people.
If they want a new headquarters, I suggest somewhere in West Texas. Lots of land with nobody there.
It’s part of my Scatter The Government to the Four Winds Plan.
SD,
Thank you. This is without question 1 of the most educational posts I have ever read!
Tremendous!
While changes are occurring at the top, they need to bring in Cult Deprogramming experts for all the agents below them.
They need to have their minds set right. As it is they are woke as hell.
Need I say more then them kneeling for BLM?
This is like Roseanne Bar stepping down as Director of the secret service and putting in Keith Olbermann as stepping in to take her position:
Just found another article that illustrates Sundance’s assertion that the FBI exists to protect the DC establishment.
This article describes how Igor Daschenko, a source for the Steele Dossier, told the FBI in Feb 2021 that the dossier contained uncorroborated rumors and exaggerations. But the FBI continued the bogus investigation into Trump anyway. Then, they prosecuted Daschenko. To keep him quiet about the flimsy predicate for the Mueller persecution of Trump. To protect the DC swamp from being revealed as a bunch of politically motivated hacks.

The FBLie has lost all credibility and has become a useless agency. No one believes anything they say anymore and when there is an event that requires investigation, other entities have to launch a parallel effort to get credible information to the public. They have become a complete waste of tax payer dollars and there is not even a ghost of a chance of them ever getting their credibility back. As we saw in the aftermath of the assassination attempt on Trump, the FBLie are the ones who sweep in and commandeer all evidence. No one trusts what they do with this evidence any longer and people scoff at the staged photos they present to the public. Thus, they have actually become a hindrance to any real investigative work that is needed in high profile cases of public interest. People are tired of watching their director obstructing and gas lighting Congress and the American people on CSPAN.
They should be defunded and completely phased out while another legitimate law enforcement entity is set up and given their job duties. Whoever becomes the new director of this defunct agency should have this mission in mind.
A government police force will always be a danger to the American public. Maybe an investigative government department could be to some advantage since it would be able to bring in information from all 5o states on certain issues, whereas states each work with only the data from their state. If such a department was created it must have a law that forbids them from acting as an armed police force and could only act as a dissemination terminal for information which would be useful for states that wanted to use that information.
Why don’t we defund and shut down the FBI, scatter their employees, tear the Hoover building down, and sow the earth with salt? They don’t prevent the mass shootings, terror attacks, and other crimes committed in this country because they are the proximate cause of most of them, and work actively to hide anything that might reveal that they are. There is no need for them at all, as they have proved their lack of effectiveness and political bias since their formation in the 1920’s. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
In other words, with the stated mission, the Federal Bureau of Investigations IS the Geheime Staatspolizei of DC.
Oh, absolutely, Sundance! With the gentlemen you named in charge, I would sleep more peacefully knowing the loopholes, the corruption and the obstacles to justice channels within the FBI would be cleaned out, repaired and restored for the benefit of the NATION and the American citizens!
My heart nearly skipped a beat when I saw the picture, I was that excited!
Not sold on Clay Higgins. Unless I am missing something, his initial investigative report seems to gloss over the water tower (2nd shooter as many witnesses heard shots coming from that direction), 8 casings “found” though 2 or 3 were far from the body, etc.
https://clayhiggins.house.gov/2024/08/15/higgins-releases-preliminary-investigative-report/
I’m pretty sure there is a dead hand type nuclear option if anyone tries to reform the FBI as written above.
Excellent!
What you outline is how every HR Dept in every major corp operates. Every complaint is treated as a threat. The purpose of every “investigation” (when forced to do so) is to protect the company not to protect, or seek justice for, the “victim”.
