The inspector detector factory seems to have forgotten that these guidelines aren't some woke moral judgment, they're meant to minimize the chances of getting agents blackmailed or honeypotted.

The FBI is full of Mormons because they happen to be the most boring, rule-following, straight laced people around. They don't need to be trained to be boring, because they already come boring. This kind of person happens to be the best kind of Federal agent, not the other way around.

But sure, get all your compromised agents, I'm sure organized crime won't use that information at all.

"Well, Fat Tony - you're going away for a long time. A long time."

"Nah. You're gonna release me."

"How you figure?"

"If you don't - my guys are going put photos of you on the net. Emailed to your family and relatives too. You with a goat. With a sheep. With a horse. With—"

"Fuck."

"Take off my handcuffs - farmer john."

Organized crime is starting to use that information with this very announcement!

I don't like the implication that organized crime would be able to use this new information against the FBI. That would require they aren't already fully intertwined and I am not willing to accept that

Nah i think organized crime gets in bed with other alphabet agencies.

Organized crime is extremely well integrated into the DEA, ATF, and CBP.

Trump even went as far as disbanding OCDETF because it was impacting "his guys" in those agencies.
