The FBI is a law-enforcement agency. Under Kash Patel it is involved in flagrant criminal conduct, violating both the Hatch Act and the Magnuson Act by running partisan political propaganda (specifically naming and attacking a long list of Democratic candidates) in the 30 days before an election.

Trump is declining international election monitors in the United States for first time in over two decades, aligning the country with Russia. Trump will instead deploy his own election monitors to polling sites across the country. www.ms.now/news/trump-m...

Federal agents swarmed a protest encampment today, arresting a dozen people and allowing contractors to remove a live protester from, then cut down, an ancient, giant cottonwood "Grandmother Tree" to make way for border wall construction. Protesters had been at the site near Lochiel, AZ for 71 days.
