She joined the FBI to defend America; she left when it turned its guns on Americans

She joined the FBI after watching the World Trade Center collapse before her eyes, leaving a lucrative job at a hedge fund.

As a Special Agent in Miami, she worked on many high-profile cases and won awards and accolades for her hard work and diligence.

Last year she resigned in disgust. The FBI had turned its sights from fighting crime to fighting Americans’ freedoms.

Former FBI Special Agent Nicole Parker broke down in tears Thursday while testifying during a congressional hearing.

Parker said during the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government’s inaugural hearing that she left her job at a hedge fund after 9/11 to serve her country, working as an FBI Special Agent from 2011-2022.

“I considered it a very sacred responsibility and was honored to be trusted to protect and serve the American people,” Parker said, recounting how she joined a Miami field office.

“Participating in the investigations of myriad criminal cases, the Majorie Stoneman Douglas high school shooting in Parkland, Florida,” Parker said as she began to break down.

“The 2017 Fort Lauderdale airport shooting, the Cesar Sayoc pipe bomb case-” she continued, listing other areas she covered as she wept.

“It was emotionally jarring, but I believed I was making an impactful difference. And every day I woke up and embraced being a Special FBI agent until things changed. Over the course of my 12+ years, the FBI’s trajectory has transformed. On paper, the bureau’s mission has remained the same but its priorities and governing principles shifted dramatically. The FBI became politically weaponized from the top in Washington and trickling down to the field offices.”

Her testimony before Jim Jordan’s House Committee to investigate the weaponization of the federal government against Americans’ freedoms was riveting. Former Special Agent Parker tearfully recounted how disillusioned and then appalled she became as, over the years, top FBI officials used their power to pursue highly political, partisan ends.

Ends such as targeting Catholic traditionalists as dangerous, potentially white supremacist extremists. Jazz has that story. You should read it because it shows just how far off the track the FBI has gone.

The FBI has been going off track for years now, having participated in the regime of social media censorship and conspiring against President Trump when he was in office. Since Biden came to power it has only gotten worse, with Merrick Garland’s guidance it has targeted parents concerned about how their kids are being sexualized and dehumanized by the public schools and begun labeling conservatives as potential domestic terrorists.

You and I have targets on our backs.

Imagine being a patriot who personally watched the Twin Towers collapse and switched careers to defend Americans’ freedoms. Imagine sacrificing so much to do the right thing. And then imagine watching your bosses betray everything America stands for.

This is why Jordan’s committee exists. The government has been weaponized against ordinary Americans in the service of the Left’s lust for power. The FBI, the CIA, the NSA, and the Department of Defense, it seems, have all been enlisted to suppress Americans’ rights to speak, to associate, to petition their government, and even, it appears, to pray together.

Our Founders would be appalled. Every American today should be appalled. The Democrats in Congress should join hands with Republicans to root out this corruption.

Instead, they have vowed to fight the investigation. To stonewall. To push for more censorship. To shield the corrupt. They are making a strong push to discredit the committee.

Because they benefit from the corruption. It is disgusting and must be ended.
