Adoration of “G-men,” once celebrated in the nonpartisan war on Al Capone and organized crime and now leading the effort to round up Jan. 6 Capitol riot suspects and Trump supporters, is apparently waning.
In the latest sign of how today’s politics is dividing support for major Washington institutions, the latest Rasmussen Reports survey shows more people than not view the FBI as the punishing political arm of President Joe Biden.
Picking up on a comment from former Trump adviser Roger Stone, long caught in the wandering FBI Russia probe, the pollster found that likely voters, by a 46%-38% margin, believe “there is a group of politicized thugs at the top of the FBI who are using the FBI … as Joe Biden’s personal Gestapo.”
In discussing the Jan. 6 probe and the FBI’s investigation of whistleblower Project Veritas, Stone used that phrase.
Republicans especially feel negative about the FBI, with 64% feeling it is the president’s “Gestapo.” And 30% of Democrats agreed.
The word Gestapo generally refers to the henchmen led by Nazi Hermann Goring against Adolf Hitler's enemies.
For sure, the view hasn’t helped the image of FBI Director Christopher Wray. Said Rasmussen’s analysis, “Fifty percent of voters now believe the FBI director is influenced by the president in his decision-making, while only 26% believe Wray is truly independent of the administration, and another 25% are not sure. That’s a near-complete reversal from May 2017, when 53% believed the FBI director was truly independent and 26% thought he was influenced by the president.”
And overall, the public is divided on the FBI, with 46% having a favorable impression and 47% an unfavorable view.

No, they aren’t Biden’s Gestapo. The only thing Biden controls is what flavor pudding he eats after his afternoon nap.
The FBI are the deep-state’s enforcers.
Time for the FBI to close it’s doors. These people need honest work instead.
Also called the Stasi
The Falsifiers, Bolsheviks, and Imbeciles are to their Pedophile masters as the Securitate Forces were to Ceaucescu.
The vile FBI creeps can’t do honest work, as it would be like trying to get blood from a stone. This has been proven by their many years of Satanic corruption, malice, and hatred toward We The People.
What those psychopaths need is the Righteous Fury from Almighty God as He Smites them all straight to Hell forever.
That’s what those monsters need.
And like the DeepStaters, the FIB leadership need to be brought to justice for giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States.
The dems’ gestapo.
Antifa is their SturmAbteilung.
The FBI polling the same as their political party..lol.. So obvious.
Yes, it’s wrong to characterize the FBI as Biden’s personal goons; the FBI is the goon squad of the Deep State, and Biden is just their temporary ward.
Defund the FBI.
The FBI has become the Stasi.
When were they not the Stasi?
If the brass is seen as Gestapo, then the rank and file qualifies as the SS.
Gosh, if the Republicans ever had a backbone, what would they do at a moment like this?
NOTHING . . .
The FBI was created to fight organized crime.
They are now nothing more than the enforcers for organized crime.
How embarrassing.
The dems’ gestapo.
The Dims have the FBI, IRS, FDIC, EPA,Joint Chiefs, DOE, DOS, USAG, DOT, CIA, and most of the rest of the Government under partizan control, if not outright Communist leadership. People are beginning to realize who is in control after Trump had trouble with everyone in the swamp.
