(RestoreAmericanGlory.com) – Speaker Kevin McCarthy had recently claimed that he might attempt to stop the FBI from moving a new facility to the Washington suburbs. McCarthy is now pushing forward a proposal that would topple the FBI following former President Donald Trump’s recent federal indictment in a case relating to his possible mishandling of classified documents, as well as the Department of Justice’s active prosecution of Trump’s allies, as well as close to 1,000 people who have been charged in relation to the Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021.
Conservatives have become more and more concerned about the law enforcement agency, with many arguing that the FBI is being weaponized and politicized against the right. Beverly Gage, a Yale Historian, argued that this is a fairly big change when compared to how politics were around 50 years ago. Gage is known for her book “G-Man: J. Edgar Hoover and the Making of the American Century,” which won the 2023 Pulitzer Prize.
However, this is not the first time that the FBI has faced political scrutiny. In fact, ever since the bureau was founded by Hoover, it has become a point of contention. Hoover had been known for wiretapping civil rights leaders and had even worked to infiltrate left-wing political organizations.
Still, the recent indictment of Former President Donald Trump, who pleaded not guilty on 37 counts related to the mishandling of classified documents in his Mar-a-Lago estate after leaving the White House in 2021, has resulted in many conservatives being overly criticized and outraged with the bureau.
McCarthy had even told reporters that he believed the entire leadership of the FBI needed to be changed.
