The harm caused by [[leak]]s, fear of potential leaks, and a culture of unauthorized media contacts is illustrated in Chapters Ten and Eleven of our report, where we detail the fact that these issues influenced FBI officials who were advising Comey on consequential investigative decisions in October 2016. The FBI updated its media policy in November 2017, restating its strict guidelines concerning media contacts, and identifying who is required to obtain authority before engaging members of the media, and when and where to report media contact. We do not believe the problem is with the FBI’s policy, which we found to be clear and unambiguous. Rather, we concluded that these leaks highlight the need to change what appears to be a cultural attitude among many in the organization.<ref>https://www.scribd.com/document/381806566/IG-Report-on-FBI-and-DOJ-Handling-of-Clinton-Investigation#</ref>}}

The leadership of the FBI have been very clear, the number one threat in the United States is the rise of “Domestic Extremists.” This, they say, is the greatest threat to what they perceive as domestic peace and tranquility. Take them at their word, what does that say about their perspective?
Consider,… on June 13th of this year an internal report from the Office of Inspector General painstakingly outlined how the FBI willfully, and with specific intent, facilitated, enabled and supported the ongoing rape, molestation and sexual predication of a known serial rapist, Larry Nassar.
====Boston Marathon bombing====
In 2013 the FBI was fully aware of the Boston Marathon bombers, the Tsarnaev brothers, tipped off by Russians, before the Tsarnaev brothers executed their plot. The FBI took no action.
====Bundy and Finicum====
In 2014, armed citizens forced federal authorities, including the FBI, to back down at the the Clive Bundy ranch. In response to their loss AG [[Eric Holder]] vowed to revive “a domestic terrorism task force.” Two years after the Bundy Ranch stand-off, the FBI shot and killed LaVoy Finicum.
====Bandidos and Cossacks====
In 2015, state and federal authorities opened fire at a Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco, Texas. State police and feds had surrounded the building and began shooting as domestic violent extremists (DVE)’s, self-identified as members of the Bandidos and Cossacks motorcycle clubs, had assembled for a meeting. Nine bikers were killed, 18 more were wounded during the one-way gunfire. 177 bikers were arrested; however, not a single conviction was ever made. All of the charges were dropped. All of the bikers were released; there was no evidence against them.
====San Bernardino terrorist attack====
In 2015 the FBI knew about the San Bernardino terrorists, specifically Tasfeen Malik, and were monitoring her phone calls and communication before her and Syed Farook executed their attack killing 14 people and 22 others were seriously injured. The FBI took no action.
====Olympic gymnast coach====
In 2015 the FBI recieved complaints that U.S. Olympic gymnast coach Larry Nassar had been abusing 265 young girls and women for the 18 years and did nothing.
====Garland, Texas terrorist attack====
The FBI not only knew the shooters (Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi) in advance, the FBI took the shooters to the venue and were standing only a few yards away when Simpson and Soofi opened fire. Yes, you read that correctly – the FBI took the terrorists to the event and then watched it unfold. “An FBI trainer suggested in an interview with “60 Minutes” that, had the attack been bigger, the agency’s numerous ties to the shooter would have led to a congressional investigation.”
====Pulse Night Club shooting===
In 2016 the FBI knew in advance the Pulse Nightclub shooter (Omar Mateen) and were tipped off by the local sheriff.
===Wray era===
====Parkland High School shooting====
The FBI knew in advance of the Parkland High School shooter (Nikolas Cruz).
====October 2018 mail bombs====
Shortly before the [[2018 mid-term election]], when Ceasar Syoc -a man living in his van- was caught sending “energetic material that can become combustible when subjected to heat or friction”, or what FBI Director Christopher Wray called “not hoax devices“? Sayoc attempted to walk back his guilty plea saying that he was tricked into signing a confession for a crime he did not create.
====Gretchen Whitmer kidnap plot====
The [[Gretchen Whitmer]] kidnap plot involved 18 suspects, twelve of them actually working for the FBI.
====Boulder shooting====
In 2021 the FBI knew Colorado grocery store shooter Ahmad al-Aliwi Alissa before he executed his attack. The FBI took no action.
