Progress Of The Purge

     Courtesy of Maura Dowling, we have this outrage:

     More whistleblowers have stepped forward to tell Congress that high-ranking FBI officials are targeting agents, specifically former military members, for their political beliefs and trying to force them out of the bureau.
     A Marine and other military veterans at the FBI have been accused of disloyalty to the U.S. because they fit the profile of a supporter of former President Donald Trump, according to two disclosures sent to lawmakers on the House Judiciary Committee.
     The Washington Times obtained copies of the disclosures.
     The whistleblowers said Jeffrey Veltri, deputy assistant director of the bureau’s security division, and Dena Perkins, assistant section chief, specifically pursued employees who served in the Marine Corps or other military branches.
     They stripped the agents of security clearances, which sidelined them on the job and pushed them toward the exit, according to the disclosures.
     The whistleblower disclosures say Mr. Veltri and Ms. Perkins either declared or attempted to declare the Marine and other veterans as “disloyal to the United States of America.”
     “In these cases there was no indication that any of the individuals had any affiliation to a foreign power or held any belief against the United States,” it said.

     Now that the FBI has been completely politicized, this was predictable. Pournelle’s Iron Law and Robert Conquest’s Second Law, don’t y’know.

     But the FBI needs a new, $300 million headquarters, and the GOP-controlled House of Representatives just voted to give it to them. We can’t stint these brave defenders of democracy, now can we?
