I see a number of posts stating as fact the FBI is right wing.

Does anyone have any facts they could cite to demonstrate that?

1. The FBI is right wing when they are investigating someone you like.

When they are investigating someone you don't like they are a dedicated professional law enforcement organization. Witness the various 180 degree turns both the Republican and Democratic parties made concerning Comey. First one loved him and the other hated him. Then they switched. Then they switched again. Then they switched yet again...

4. This. Claiming the FBI is politically biased is what Trump does

It's just a way to dismiss any criticism people don't like.

6. IT is true that Trump has taken it to a new level

But it really is an old strategy - fr any government organization.

2. "Right Wing" may be a bit of hyperbole....

....but I'd say by definition to get involved in law enforcement at that level one would need to have an innate trust of authority, power, and rule which I think would mean a lot more of them lean right than left. I wouldn't suppose many people with liberal viewpoints or progressive views would be attracted to such a career. Exceptions I'm sure, but generally speaking.

I've known a few people that worked for the FBI and I will say there were some of the smartest, most on-the-ball people I've ever met. They definitely leaned conservative but not in what I would call a right wing or extremist way at all. For discussions regarding 2016 I'd say it was less that there were a lot of FBI folks who were pro-Hillary as much as there were a lot who were smart enough to see how dangerous Trump would be.

3. I think there are Republicans...look at the New York office supposedly many of the leaks came

from there and this is one of the reason Comey did what he did...you see any of them leaking Russia?

5. Well, let's see.

The FBI destroyed Hillary Clinton's campaign over emails and bullshit.

They never said squat about the Republican candidate's campaign.

As we say in the South, "The proof is in the pudding."

7. I don't disagree with your assesssment

but "the proof of the pudding" has it's origins in England.

8. "The FBI destroyed . . ." or the more factual "Comey destroyed . . . ." ?

I don't think the FBI is left or right wing. I think as its leadership changes so changes the perception of political bent.

As a very recent example: Mueller, while a Republican personally, never gave a hint of political bias during his tenure.
