Staff Reports
In a shocking revelation, a group of current and former FBI agents and analysts have alleged that the FBI is lowering its hiring standards to accommodate overweight applicants and barely literate agents. According to a report delivered to the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees, the FBI is prioritizing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) to such an extent that it is compromising the integrity of its hiring process. The report claims that standards are being reduced for physical fitness, drug usage, finances, mental health, experience, and integrity. This is truly mind-boggling!

Now, let’s unpack this. The FBI, an agency responsible for protecting our nation from terrorists and criminals, is apparently more concerned with meeting diversity quotas than ensuring that the most qualified individuals are hired. It’s like they’re playing a dangerous game of “Who Wants to be an Agent?” where the correct answer is no longer based on merit, but on checkboxes for race, gender, and other arbitrary factors. This is political correctness gone mad!
The report reveals numerous anecdotes from credible sources within the FBI who have witnessed these lowered standards firsthand. One source recounts disqualifying an overweight candidate who couldn’t pass the physical fitness requirements, only to be instructed by FBI headquarters to continue considering the candidate. Another source, a 20-year FBI veteran, states that new agent trainees often struggle with basic grammar and punctuation. It seems that the FBI is now accepting agents who can barely write a coherent sentence. Is this the best we can do?
But it gets worse. The report suggests that DEI hires are being chosen over higher quality candidates, and those responsible for evaluating applicants are being selected for their DEI credentials rather than their ability to assess qualifications. In other words, the FBI is more interested in promoting diversity than in hiring the most competent agents. It’s like they’re trying to put together a motley crew of misfits instead of a highly skilled team of professionals. This is a recipe for disaster!
And yet, FBI Director Christopher Wray continues to insist that recruitment is going well for the bureau. Well, Mr. Wray, I hate to break it to you, but the evidence presented in this report paints a very different picture. The authors of the report recommend a thorough audit, collaboration with government agencies, and collecting recruiting data to address this problem. They also suggest investigating the FBI and holding public hearings to hold those accountable for this absurdity.
The FBI has disputed the findings of the report and defended its recruiting practices. But their statement only reinforces the alarming reality that standards are being lowered in the name of diversity. They claim to recruit the best and brightest, but how can that be true when physical fitness, literacy, and integrity are seemingly optional? The fact that they have separate offices for diversity and inclusion speaks volumes about their priorities.
This is not about being against diversity or equal opportunities. It’s about ensuring that the FBI remains a strong and effective institution that can protect our country. Hiring individuals based on their abilities, qualifications, and dedication to the job should always be the top priority. We shouldn’t compromise our safety and security for the sake of political correctness. It’s time to put an end to this madness and restore the FBI to its former glory.
