The FBI shouldn’t be weaponized to pick winners and losers, which is exactly what it has done by targeting pro-lifers and failing to investigate pro-abortion vandals, former FBI agent Steve Friend says.

FBI whistleblower Friend joined “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss his experience in the FBI, why he left in 2022, and the weaponization of the bureau against those with religious or political ideologies deemed to be a “threat.”
