Staff Reports
Joe Scarborough, the man who has perfected the art of dodging accountability, recently opined that the FBI has become a political puppet show, juggling biases both for and against political figures. He pointed to the infamous tenure of former FBI Director James Comey as a prime example of this circus act, particularly during the 2016 presidential election—when the bureau seemed less like a law enforcement agency and more like a reality TV drama vying for ratings.
The ongoing saga included President-elect Donald Trump’s nomination of Kash Patel, a vocal critic of the FBI’s numerous probes into Trump, to replace the current FBI Director Christopher Wray. After all, it was Trump who booted Comey from the job in 2017, yet Scarborough has the audacity to trot out Comey’s inept handling of investigations, specifically the infamous personal email server of one Hillary Clinton. Scarborough hilariously suggests that both the Washington and New York offices of the FBI harbored their own anti-Trump and anti-Clinton sentiments, as if they were debating over which flavor of ice cream to serve at a kiddie party.
Scarborough certainly painted an interesting picture of the intelligence community as a band of marauding pirates, ready to take aim at whoever is at the helm. He seemed to forget that these “sailors” have often set their sights on the very politicians they should be serving, instead of providing neutrality. The narrative he spun, where the FBI is split between factions favoring Republicans or Democrats, suggests that instead of fighting the bad guys, they’ve turned into the bad guys. If there were an Olympic event for politicizing every office and agency in Washington, the FBI would win gold, silver, and bronze.

The magnanimous Comey, who allegedly handed Trump a winning ticket to the presidency with his antics a mere 10 days before the election, was a main course at Scarborough’s buffet of blame. He couldn’t quite shrug off Comey’s theatrical press conference showcasing Clinton’s “extreme carelessness” with classified emails while simultaneously ensuring she faced no consequences. The agency’s future handling of significant investigations fell short, leaving voters wondering who exactly was tugging the strings.
Then there’s that lovely laundry list of complaints against the FBI—a penchant for colluding with social media to stifle dissent, targeting well-meaning parents who dare protest school boards, and the cringe-worthy raid on Mar-a-Lago to investigate Trump’s handling of documents. One can almost predict a future FBI memo: “Wanted: All those who commit the crime of being a conservative.” Scarborough’s laughter echoed as he described the absurdity and ridiculousness of the Trump camp as if they were a bunch of lost sheep, fumbling around without a clue. In a world where irony thrives, it seems those who wish to call out hypocrisy can only do it while looking in a distorted mirror.
