In a sign Americans are growing outraged over an increasingly totalitarian political establishment, a new Rasmussen Reports poll nearly half of Americans believe FBI leaders are “thugs” brutally suppressing criticism of liberal leaders.
The poll found a stunning 46 percent of Americans agreed there is “a group of politicized thugs at the top of the FBI who are using the FBI … as Joe Biden‘s personal Gestapo.”
Only 38 percent of Americans disagreed with the notion FBI leaders were on par with the Nazis’ notorious political police.
The survey, of 1,000 likely voters, found Americans were almost evenly split in their view of the FBI, with 46 percent viewing them favorably and 47 percent unfavorably.
In May 2020 60 percent of Americans had a favorable view of the FBI, a stunning 14-point drop in just seven months.
The finding comes weeks after it was revealed the Justice Department considered parents who criticize liberal education policies as potential “terrorists” – a move the Biden administration defended.
Fifty percent of voters said they believed the FBI director is “influenced by the president in his decision-making,” even though by law he or she is supposed to be a non-political independent.
Only 26 percent of Americans believed the FBI director is not influenced by the president.

GOOD LUCK… 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐲𝐬𝟎𝟏.𝐓𝐤
It’s up to us to stand together. They are scared shitless of the people
The trouble is that the division in this country has grown so large, and that is what the liberal/socialist democrats want, because it allows them to exercise complete control over the country. Without that second American revolution that has been talked for years now, there really isn’t much we the people can do about it. All this makes me glad that I’m old and hopefully won’t see the complete downfall of the United States of America.
That is because there are more of us than there are of them! Don’t let them scare you and do not submit! Stand up for your rights and your freedom!
The last shred of ‘perceived’ FBI integrity evaporated when the X-FILES series ended.
Have you noticed??
In four years no mass arrests of BLM and ANTIFA members or the Big Tech/DNC/Soros paymasters inciting murders, riots, looting and assaults against Police.
Proof the F#@kin FBI is not “WATCHING” BLM and ANTIFA, the FBI is “MANAGING” BLM and ANTIFA!
I have to agree with you %150 and as long as we have a DICTATOR like this “WACKO who is a plain KOOK” this will happen. Lets all GOOD “AMERICANS” be prepared.
I’m not sure what you mean by be prepared but if not giving up our guns is part of it, I’m on board.
The dictator you speak of is Obama not Biden! He is the one who is controlling the decisions that are made in the government! Joe Biden is to stupid and is just a puppet for Obama!
Yes: Joe Taliban handled Afghanistan so well when He over- rode his General’s advice. .He will take the USA down a path we can never ever recover from and possibly we could be enslaved by both Russia and China. If you think the Chinese Muslims are in dire straits.. Just wait until we have Masters of Chinese and Russian backgrounds.
The only disturbances and crimes committed at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C, on Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2021 were planned, staged and carried out by the seditious DNC/FBI/DC Capitol Police/ANTIFA crisis actors. …like FBI plant Ray Epps!
You wrote; “some people might think, the FBI is a bias corrupt tool,” of what they believe are the illegal executive branch, and illegal majority in congress? Don’t you watch the pompous asses on cbs, nbc, abc, msnbc, cnn, PBS, the view, and late night leftest celebs ? Look 50 to 75 million people believe the elections were rigged in 2020, if the democrats can illegally pass their bill bill HR1 by ending the filibuster, taking total control of all elections in states, violating the constitution they will rig all future elections. This evil plot will not unify a nation on the verge of an explosion in protest against the illegal Global Communist Running it. Look we been screwed over starting with their forced upon us rigged elections, the arrest and openly known torture of capital rioters whom 98.5% were not armed, yet labeled insurrectionist by the Lying in leftest in congress and evil lying reporters in our 98% propaganda one party news propaganda outlets for their illegal party. The america people are suffering under the evil in charge, and angry. Really, the liars in the congressional majority, and executive branch and the media / celebs supporting them, cannot allow fair elections ever again, they cannot not close the open borders, and lose those planned illegal voters entering, even if their murdering hundreds of thousands of our youth is caused by illegal laced drugs.. This evil force for absolute power wants total absolute power. Their wet dream now, is the control of state elections like they did in 2020 forever. Unfortunately, we must obey these lying dirt bags. Honestly, we are mere slaves to the democratic Global communist party illegally destroying our republic. This pure unchallenged evil knows no limits, in endless daily acts of treason, and murder of our people with their on purpose open borders for absolute power. As this pure evil has the ability as under Obama, to get protection by the new version of the department of injustices for the advancement of Global communism, their new sole purpose is to punish critics of the illegal government. We are totally screwed now.All l we can do is pray this evil in charge does not murder our loved ones for their absolute illegal Marxist style power grab.
LISTEN UP…WHAT is UP with the FBI….CIA and DOJ????? DID THEY SELL O UT to the DARKSIDE. THEIR REP is in the TOILET. From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄😇😇😇
Sad, but can a person believe what an FBI agent says in court to give evidence of a criminal wrongdoing anymore?
Well kinda. If people think Biden is the problem this will never get solved. The super rich (called the elite in a new book co-authored by a conserativewell know writer). These super rich are running the US biden is too stupid when he was younger but not can’t even wipe his own butt. Bisen has been a bought and paid for politician, pedo, racist, waste of air since birth. Now I am typically against abortion with exceptions but my thought is too bad biden wasn’t aborted. Just sayin.
The American public had better grow some smarts, stop worrying just about the dems (really many politicians are in on this big “dog and pony show”) and having this division blind them. You need to see whom is causing the division and why. Control is power and Americans are very close to thiss control even if it isn’t happening today. These super rich are patient and think they will win, wear us down, tht we will not really learn our lesson, that we will go back to worring just about us and how to make that big money to pay any attention to them (the supper rich) so they can continue to keepmgetting closer to that control We will become Venzuela.
The FBI only employs people who are sheeple! They do not seem to understand what he truth really is. Biden is a cheat a liar and a thief! His whole admin is full of shite! Unless and until you can find your w!at through the hypocritical nonsense spewed by them you are doomed
Disband the FBI
The FBI was one of the things on the list to infiltrate: https://www.beliefnet.com/columnists/watchwomanonthewall/2011/04/the-45-communist-goals-as-read-into-the-congressional-record-1963.html
THE 45 COMMUNIST GOALS AS READ INTO THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, 1963
The FBI under Wrey is a corrupt, lying department. They all need to be canned! They are Senile communist pedophile Biden’s personal police squad! The American citizens can ‘ trust them! They took an oath to uphold our Constitution, but they are playing God! They need to investigate the corrupt Biden family but the won’t! The FBI, BLM , Anifa and the Capitol Rent a cop were all in on the the Jan 6th at the Capitol. They took orders from Pelosi!
I feel there are still good people in the FBI but a lot are as crooked as they need to be to stay in favor. Yes, they are using their bully tactics as ordered. I keep hoping this, too, shall pass.
Those 38% of brainwashed indoctrinate morons better WAKE UP. How idiotic can they be?
Ray Charles can see this from is grave
FBI it is only DeepState rotten. Trump or who will be new GOP President must have the courage to clean and clean strongly the DeepState. From Italy.
Really…and, here I was 🤔that the Federal Bureau of (corrupt) Idiots was/is 100% owned by the Deep-State. Brandon(FJB) & Kum-Allah (Black Hitlery) are only their latest stooges‼️
Even the Secret Service is corrupted. Senator Ron Johnson asked for the flights Hunter Biden made on Air Force 2. Senator Johnson got back a bunch of blackened sheets of paper with white margins. They are protecting the Biden Criminal Syndicate who has no regard for who they do business with. Why doesn’t Talibiden just increase the Sanction on Russia’s Nord Stream that will provide gas to all of Europe. Nice of the Europeans to want to buy gas from Russia after we the USA has protected them from Russia since the end of WW2?. He can’t because he has made a deal with America’s 2 worst enemies.
Been like that under Trump Admin via Deep State: Manafort & Stone raids
Gen Flynn etc day 1
The poll is kinda accurate, and no offense to the researchers who conducted the poll, but it just might be a little bit more than 46%.
The democrats are clashing on every issue known to mankind. Especially the democratic parents that the FBI CHALLENGED, only because the parents were protesting their childrens education. This is still happening nationwide.
Are we really under a dip-wipe government that JUST BECAUSE we vote for Donald J Trump
they will use that against us.
TRUMP 2024…
Biden instructed his henchmen to go after Trump Supporters Just like he wants the parents punished who speak up at School Board Meetings.
It’s pretty obvious when tactical SWAT teams show up in the middle of the night to serve search warrants and detain civilians simply to confiscate computers, cell phones, etc. Things that they could do by simply calling the people’s lawyers during the day! It’s a blatant show of force to intimidate people into “obey or else” to their Marxist “leaders.”
How did the FBI/BAFT do at Ruby Ridge, Waco, Bundy ranch, etc.?
The FBI orchestrated the Jan 6 incursion in order to try to blame Trump yet AGAIN
Actually–It was Nancy Pelosi as her duty as Speaker of the House is to protect the Capital and it is SHE WHO CALLS ALL OF THE SHOTS. She planned the entire mess. She turned down President Trump’s offer of 20 thousand National Guardsmen. Why because she other plans for Jan. 06, 2021. She even gave her Capital Police light duty on Jan.06,2021. Feds were mixed into the crowds acting as JUDAS GOATS leading ordinary citizens to trespass.
The FBI has lost all credibility as a policing force. Once the right takes control again, all leadership must be terminated and/or punished for crimes against America and it’s citizens. Comey and his entire crew plus others should be in jail for treason
I must agree that Cho Bai Din and his minions are the Communists in disguise,…. and two articles this morning support that,…. Article one was about ghost guns ,….AGAIN,…. NOT about prosecuting criminals,…. but about penalizing Hobbyists whom have broken NO laws,….
And Article two was about protecting Academics who commit treason, and also fail to report they are Employed by the communist party ( A Potentially treasonous action ), and the Income they make in this role of treasonous activity ( A Violation of Tax laws ), And two More worth mentioning
MANDATES for Covid injections for truck drivers,…. A violation of civil rights,…. and the new I.D.Me.gov facial recognition for viewing YOUR OWN Tax return,…. If that passes,…. under the guise of “FRAUD protection”, yes we need Fraud protection in some cases ( welfare, Covid benefits, Unemployment benefits )
The other 54% are dumb as Biden & Kamala.
IS THERE NO WAY TO TAKE DOWN THE ENEMY WITHIN OR CORRUPT/FRAUDULENT GOVERNMENT? THANKS GOP AND TRUMP FOR LETTING AMERICA FALL INTO ANTI-AMERICAN HANDS. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE IRA WAS MOST CORRUPT DEPT. BUT NOW IT’S CLEARLY BEING SHOWN THAT THE MOST CORRUPT IS THE “DOJ” / “FBI” / THEN THE “IRS”, WITH MANY MORE TO FOLLOW, AS OUR ENTIRE GOVERNMENT HAS, AND STILL IS, THE MOST CORRUPT ANTI-AMERICAN BINCH OF HOOLIGANS EVER. HAS WE FORGTTEN ABOUT THE ONES WHO GOT AWAY? SOME NOTEABLES OUT THERE ARE, ERIC HOLDER / LORETTA LYNCH, SUSAN RICE, AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.
HOW MUCH LONGER WILL WE ALLOW THE CORRUPT SUPREME COURT TO EXIST AS IT NOW IS? THEY ARE THE WORST BUNCH OF “TWITS” EVEN. WHO IN HELL IS IN CHARGE OF LOOKING OVER THEM, AND THEIR CONSTANT CORRUPTION, AGAINST THE UNTED STATES OF AMERICA.THEY HAVE BEEN ALLOWED FOR MANY DECADES TO RUN RAMPANT OVER US, AND NOBODY SEEMS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. 1ST OF ALL, GET RID OF THE BLANKETY BLANK/ LUDICROUS “LIFETIME APPOINTMENTS FOR JUDGES” WITH THE SUPREME COURT BEING THE MAIN KEY OF CORRUPTION HERE. BY THE LOOK S OF IT, THE DEMS WILL HAVE US AT WAR SOON WITH AN OLD ADVERSARY, THAT WILL DEVOUR US, “MOTHER RUSSIA” BECAUSE OF OUR WEAK GOVERNMENT/MILITARY, WE ARE NOW AT THE MERCY OF MAN ROGUE COUNTRIES. “PEACE THROUGH STREGNTH”, WAS NEVER AN ISSUE WITH JOBAMA AND HIS ANTI-AMERICAN REGIME.
Biden must go he has committed treason against the American people no greater crime has been committed by an American president he must be impeached and tried
the fbi has been the lap dog for the communist democrat pedophile racist cult party for decades and yes their Gestapo!
If the FBI is the Gestapo, the IRS is the SS.
It certainly appears that way to most of us out here. Joey is simply Obuma 2.0 with the FBI still an integral part of the scam.
They will be gone and maybe Jailed for TREASON when the Republicans take back the House and America Period
Trump’s only fault was to not FIRE all of the top instigator’s his first day in office. Instead, because he was new to his new job, they took advantage of him and it has cost both Trump and the 81 million Americans who voted for him in 2020 severely. If nothing changes by Nov. 2022 the USA may never have another election as the Democrats are lying about voter suppression and the Blacks want to continue their voter cheating. They do not realize that once the Feds take over voting the Republicans will never win another election. ONE PARTY RULE EQUALS COMMUNISM AND A TOTALITARIAN Government. Also, they would have to NEGATE the parts of the Constitution of the USA which gives to the individual states the rights to handle their own elections. .I do not think their new Law which lies about their real intentions would fly with the Supreme Court and it is not an easy task to add to or subtract from the U.S. Constitution.
F.B.I.- the motto is Fidelity, Integrity and Bravery. I know a number of FBI agents and they are all examples of that motto. It is failed leadership at the FBI that is responding to political pressures from both parties. Until the leadership changes and a better way of appointing a new director is found we will have this circus every administration. A fresh beginning would be the resignation of Merrick Garland and make the FBI director autonomous from the AG to avoid poilitical presure from a person who is politically appointed and whose job tenure depends on how well he does the presidents bidding. Biden is all politics and nothingnelse.
The FBI lost all creditability when Barrack Hussein Obama took office.It has been a large part of the swamp ever since.
Defund the American Stasi, the FBI. A national police force is unconstitutional, and the FBI is the enemy of the people.
And who does the FBI Director report to? The AG, who feels he was ripped out of a Supreme Court position. FBI is following direction from and angry American. And they are both following direction from an inept president.
Who conducted this poll? How was the question(s) posed?
They have become the Gestapo of the Puppet Masters in the Soros Communist Cabal of Multi-Billionaires !!!
The government is corrupted and no one should trust them.
