To me it is very simple, can't read the article on my work computer it gets blocked for some reason. But we have had 8 years of liberal administration, who put people in place because of their affiliation and not their qualifications, plus that administration took government departments like the EPA, the IRS and yes the DOJ and turned them into political tools. Now even looks like the FBI was turned into a left wing bastion of thinking as well.

According to the article, the FBI's entrance exams are skewed to the left, to accept only like-minded ideological views of the recruits. And certainly like-minded ideology is major factor in promotions.

I couldn't read the article, but here is my question when did this exam become the standard. Was it implemented during a certain administrations time.

SSG (Join to see) - These questions are not addressed in the piece. Likely the left-leaning shift has been gradual, but steady, under the radar. The subject of this story is Jonathan T Gilliam, who took his FBI entrance exam in 2004. It is based on his radio interview two weeks ago: http://www.breitbart.com/radio/2018/02/08/former-fbi-agent-gilliam-bureaus-top-brass-climbs-ladder-ideology-not-merit/
Former FBI Agent: Bureau’s Top Brass Climb Ladder by Ideology, Not Merit
“Go in and think like a liberal” was the advice two FBI agents gave Jonathan Gilliam prior to his taking an FBI entrance exam.

When you have a Dem administration, the policies set forth by the political appointees will be Dem related. That's the job of the political appointee--to further the policy of the President in the Executive Branch. When you have a Republican administration it's the same thing. The federal civilians carry out those policies, and most of the time they don't even notice the difference. I worked for several administrations on both sides, and it was just never an issue. We weren't included in political discussions on how to develop policies in that way, and we carried out changes when a new administration came in. On top of that, I can attest to the fact we were never organized or could keep a secret long enough to have a deep state. If you had worked as a federal civilian as many years as I did, you wouldn't believe in a deep state either.

I never would have thought something like this could happen in our nation. I served with professionals. But, I set the example and there was no campaigning in the office.
