That seems like a good thing to inquire about. Disappointed that when I hear about the FBI now I assume they are up to no good.
The modern FBI has been plenty apolitical. 01/06 was the largest investigation they had ever deployed. While they're still cops at some level, they seem to be professionals above all else.
OTOH, with Patel at the head, I'm sure the poison is running deeper and deeper.
I thought Trump fired most of them
Sounds like the investigation started under Biden. If they shut it down now, they’ll look (even more) like they cover for pedos.
Are the competent or incompetent agents working on this?
Yes.
If the former they'll soon be fired. If the latter they'll soon have new recruits.
I expect plea deals, incompetence and tips. The FBI under Trump is insufficient.
They're investigating the group to see if they can pick up any sweet grooming protips
