Catherine Herridge shares FBI’s 2020 ‘Inclusivity Guide: ‘Talk about a whole lot of crazy!’

by

Investigative journalist Catherine Herridge shared the results of a shocking “deep dive” into an internal FBI inclusivity “Guide.”

The guide from mid-2020 was titled, “The New IQ: Your Guide to Sustaining Inclusive Habits in the Workplace” and reportedly guided agents on “Ways to Manage Your Unconscious Bias,” “Micro-Inequities” and “How to Improve Your Inclusive Intelligence.”

The investigation revealed that “recently retired FBI agents said they saw, firsthand, how law enforcement capabilities were compromised because merit took a backseat to DEI priorities,” Herridge reported.

The FBI mission and the safety of agents were put at risk because of the policies that lowered or dropped standards “impacting physical fitness of agents, their firearms skills as well as professional qualifications.”

“More than a half dozen recently retired FBI agents agreed to speak with me on a confidential basis. They said they feared retaliation for describing their experiences with the FBI’s DEI initiatives. While fiercely loyal to the bureau, they said they felt compelled to come forward, citing a dangerous reduction in standards that they believe endanger agents and the public,” Herridge reported.

“The retired agents told me they valued diversity because it could strengthen the FBI mission but in recent years, the agents said FBI leadership took the attitude the bureau was ‘too White,'” she continued.

The former agents contended that the “decline” at the Bureau began under ex-FBI Director Robert Mueller and then ” accelerated” under James Comey before Christopher Wray stood by as the “train wreck happened.”

There was a decline in the physical fitness performance of recruits and many had an “attitude problem.”

“I was told some recruits lacked the ‘mental toughness’ to competently handle guns. Other candidates had documented mental health issues. While their performance was poor, there was a ‘push them through Quantico attitude,'” Herridge noted.

Many of the DEI hires didn’t even possess the basic writing skills needed to complete a 302-witness interview summary. These and other compromises negatively impacted the agency where DEI had taken “precedence over merit.”

“These retired FBI agents are solution oriented and respectfully asked if Director Patel would be willing to meet with them because they understand where the change needs to happen internally,” Herridge wrote, referring to new FBI Director Kash Patel.

One former agent told the journalist how “woke broke the FBI.”

When he was sworn is as the next Director of the FBI, Patel vowed to “rebuild trust” in the federal agency.

“We are aggressively working to abide by any Presidential directive to root out politically motivated, social engineering projects — they have zero home here and never will as long as Director Patel is at the helm,” FBI spokesman Ben Williamson said.

Patel is working on a  $100 million restructuring of the bureau.

Social media users reacted to Herridge’s report with shock and anger.
