The FBI isn’t supposed to be some goofy political theater group or a PR firm for the latest left-wing movement. It’s a law enforcement agency and is tasked with one duty: protecting the Constitution, maintaining law and order, and staying neutral in times of civil unrest.

Is this too much to ask? Apparently, as we found out during the deadly “Summer of Love.”

Back in 2020, when the country was reeling from riots, arson, and widespread violence following the death of career criminal George Floyd, a group of FBI agents decided their job wasn’t to stand firm for justice; it was to take a knee for BLM.

Remember that photo of the FBI agents taking a knee during the George Floyd protests?

In case you don’t, here’s the infamous photo:

These were the same deadly and violent protests that set US cities ablaze and turned cops into public enemy number one. But that kneeling moment became symbolic of a much larger problem inside the bureau: the steady shift toward a “woke” mindset that is destroying the FBI’s purpose and reputation.

The FBI’s approval has been in free fall for years now. Americans don’t trust their top law enforcement agency, and that’s a big problem. Hopefully, with Kash Patel and Dan Bongino in the mix now, the tide can start turning.

At one point, only 37 percent of Americans had a favorable view of the FBI, and that tied in to Joe Biden’s abysmal poll numbers too. Coincidence? Probably not, since the White House and the FBI seemed to work as one politicized entity.

Accountability goes a long way with the American people, and that’s exactly what we’re finally starting to see. Those agents who took a knee are now facing serious consequences, and honestly, it’s about time.

CNN:

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has reassigned several agents who were photographed kneeling with demonstrators during a 2020 protest in the wake of police killing of George Floyd, people briefed on the matter told CNN.

The reassignments, viewed as demotions by many inside the FBI, come nearly five years after the episode that ignited controversy inside the bureau. FBI officials offered no explanation for changing the roles to less coveted positions for the agents, according to sources.

The FBI declined to comment to CNN, citing its policy to not discuss personnel matters. Agents affected didn’t respond to requests for comment.

This wasn’t some random move; it’s part of a bigger effort to wipe out the woke mind virus that’s infected the bureau. The CNN piece goes on:

The targeting of the kneelers is part of a broader effort by the new FBI leaders to make good on promises to root out what President Donald Trump has called “woke” and politicized elements inside the agency.

A former FBI official said punishing agents involved in the incident now raises concern that the bureau is bypassing its regular disciplinary process, which can take months and even more than a year to review incidents.

“This notion that the bureau would go after these people, it’s just disgusting,” the former official said.

Turns out, other agents within the FBI weren’t happy to see their coworkers turning into full-fledged BLM members. This was yet another total miscalculation by the left, who thought the “Floyd story” would resonate with America and the world, and they were sitting on some presupposition of social glory. Instead, their peers were horrified, as were the American people, because turning a career criminal and drug addict into a civil rights hero is bizarre. The CNN piece continues.

After quickly ousting senior FBI leaders, the Justice Department has said it is reviewing the conduct of more than 1,500 agents associated with cases that have found disfavor in the new Trump era, including investigations of the president and his allies. FBI agents who executed the search warrant on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home and who worked on January 6, 2021-related cases have been bracing for possible retribution, current and former agents said.

The kneeling incident in Washington, DC, occurred after a group of agents assigned to protect federal monuments and buildings were confronted by a group of protesters. FBI agents generally aren’t trained to do crowd control and deploying them to face off demonstrators raised fears of a possible deadly confrontation, current and former bureau officials said.

Some of the agents that day, recalling another recent incident in which National Guard soldiers had handled a similar confrontation, decided to try kneeling as a way to deescalate tensions. It worked, and the protesters moved on.

But later, after photos emerged, a furious reaction erupted inside the FBI. Some of the agents pictured kneeling were ostracized and personally attacked by their peers, current and former agents said.

These “take a knee” stunts are more dangerous than they seem. At first glance, they might look like some cringeworthy photo-ops, but in reality, they legitimize a radical left-wing movement built on lies, division, and violence. And this isn’t new behavior from the FBI. They’ve been on a political tangent for years. We recently covered a story about how they targeted a wellness company during the #MeToo era (another leftist crusade), using fake evidence, witness tampering, and biased judges, all to sell a narrative and paint themselves as champions of social justice instead of actual law enforcement.

Revolver: 

The OneTaste case was never about justice—it was about targeting an unconventional wellness company and turning it into a federal spectacle. From the start, it was clear this wasn’t a routine prosecution—it was a politically charged operation and a high-profile scalp for a federal machine eager to flex its power using a shiny new weapon: lawfare.

And it all started at the height of the #MeToo craze…

OneTaste’s downfall lined up perfectly with the kickoff of the “Believe All Women” mantra. It felt as if the FBI and DOJ were clamoring to prove how progressive they were by being tough on “abuse” cases—no matter how flimsy the evidence. The bad news for OneTaste was that their edgy practices and taboo teachings made them an easy target during the #MeToo frenzy.

Here’s what happened:

A group of adults willingly signed up for a wellness program that promised healing through intimacy. It was weird, sure—fringe, even—but it wasn’t criminal. There were no chains, no cages, no force, and no minors. Everyone involved was a consenting adult who chose to be there. But that didn’t stop the government from stepping in and slapping the company with a “forced labor conspiracy” charge—something that sounds extreme but, in this case, had no basis in reality.

And it didn’t stop there.

The government’s star witness—a former participant of the group—turned over a set of handwritten journals as evidence. She claimed they were from 2015, raw emotional reflections of her time inside OneTaste. They were dramatic. Heart-wrenching. The kind of material tailor-made for TV—and conveniently, they ended up featured in a Netflix documentary. They may have even been shown to a grand jury.

But there was just one problem: they weren’t real.

The defense uncovered that the journals were actually created years later—during the production of that very Netflix doc. Metadata told the truth. The timeline didn’t match. The entries had been heavily edited. It was clear: the evidence was fabricated. And the feds were caught red-handed.

So what did they do?

They quietly dropped the witness—and pretended none of it happened.

By that point, the media had already done its job, turning OneTaste into a national punching bag. Netflix had its salacious storyline. And the feds? They were knee-deep in a case built on feelings, regret, and flat-out fraud.

And somehow—after all that—this flimsy case didn’t collapse.

This latest article picks up where our first piece left off—and believe it or not, what’s happening now is even more shocking than the original story.

We encourage you to read the full story so you can see just how far the FBI was willing to go to railroad a company, all to make a #MeToo political statement:

The FBI can’t hide behind the Obama or Biden White House and the propaganda media anymore. A new administration is shining a light on the rot, and now whistleblowers are stepping up and sharing the truth about what’s really going on inside this once-respected bureau.

Watch:

What’s happening to these FBI agents who “took a knee” has been a long time coming. And it’s just the beginning. We hope this wave of accountability continues — not just for agents who broke the law, but also for the woke warriors inside the bureau who helped destroy its credibility from the inside out.
