Currently, the FBI is an embarrassing disgrace. The leadership needs to be completely washed out and new leadership needs to reconstitute it from the ground up. The FBI needs to be a law enforcement/counter-espionage agency, period - not a political hatchet squad for the deep state.

Christopher Wray, who still has a job as the director of the FBI, testified before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Tuesday that the FBI’s domestic terrorism caseload has “exploded” since last year.
The Hill ~ FBI director says agency's domestic terrorism caseload has "exploded" since last year. http://hill.cm/8tvuDqo
The Hill reports:
Wray noted that the “biggest chunk” of racially and ethnically motivated violent extremism the FBI tracks is now “favoring white supremacy.”
“We collect information about that threat. We have, as you say, prioritized that threat at a national threat priority level,” Wray said.
Wray’s testimony came a year after he testified to the House Homeland Security Committee that racially motivated violent extremism was the main issue pursued within FBI domestic terrorism cases.
It also came as the FBI continues to respond to and investigate the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, an issue Wray noted in his written testimony the FBI perceives as domestic terrorism.
The idea that white supremacists are our greatest domestic security threat is shared by Attorney General Merrick Garland and President Joe Biden.
Results May Vary ~ Of course. The definition has pretty much been expanded to include anyone that doesn't think like they're told to.
Yep ... if you don't slavishly swear fealty to the deep state, then you are a "domestic terrorist." Hitler felt the same way about anyone who wasn't a Nazi.
¡Come Mierda Comunistas! ~ More like, the definition of domestic terrorist has changed.
フ卂匚Ҝ 丂ㄒ尺卂山 ~ By exploded they mean they expanded the definition ...
Brandon ~ Has domestic terrorism actually gotten worse or are they merely broadening the definition to include all Trump voters?
Ghosts Of Home ~ Step one: Radically expand the definition of "domestic terrorism" in order to target people with different political beliefs.
Step two: Announce that domestic terrorism caseload has exploded.
Bingo.
Name goes here ~ People! Think about what you learned about the FBI just last week from the Nassar case. Apply that new knowledge to this story.
Good thinking.
RealJeffGfetus ~ Are they finally looking into those BLM riots?
Ha! Don't hold your breath. They don't care about actual crimes against the citizens of the United States. All they care about are potential thought "crimes" against the deep state.
McMarketRebel ~ Expanding the definition to include conservatives while they allow “mostly peaceful protests” where violence looting arson and takeovers of federal buildings from BLM and Antifa occur and are still happening!!!! Got it.
Killin Time ~ Of course 99.9% of them turned out to be other feds trying to set someone up.
Neanderthal thinker ~ Of course it has.
Steve The Texas Biker - Southern Born & Bred ~
Yes, they must be so busy investigating themselves!
Memee Fu Hao ~ Ya, a bunch of glowie larps.
SųnThømas ~ What they meant to say was: the number of people who oppose their bullshit is going up at dramatic rates ... because what's happening is totally bullshit.
MUSACCHIO ~ Well if you call everyone a terrorist that's to be expected ...
Joe Navarro ~ Receipts?
The Fibbies don't need no stinkin' receipts ... they just make it all up as they go along.
KC Star ~ Garage pull ropes are in use all over the country!!
GOP Zeppy ~
Robert ~ It didn’t explode. They simply expanded the definition and increased the job security pool.
And pandered to their Democrat Commissars.
COBRA COMMANDER ~ This headline is painfully dumb.
The FBI hasn’t exactly been covering itself in glory lately.
