in times that may be really risky for those people.
And they've got to trust that this FBI agent they're gonna talk to, who could be out canvassing a neighborhood, doing interviews to find the kidnapper of Nancy Guthrie, or could very importantly be working a case we should have,
uh in broad you know under under uh open conditions working with the state to investigate the use of force by ice agents that led to the deaths of renee goode and alex preddy to do those interviews people need to trust the fbi agent they're talking to and now
every FBI agent who goes out into our country to do the job on behalf of the people starts that conversation with the American public having watched the FBI director, as you described, in a locker room spraying beer.
That's not how we want to start those conversations.
Yeah, it's tremendously challenging to accomplish the mission right now for a number of reasons.
And some of those are where we are putting the agents and analysts and their efforts and what work they're doing.
The FBI has traditionally not worked
immigration matters outside of its own cases um and when we when we push fbi agents to do that work or in the case of washington dc uh to have agents walking the streets as if they're you know part of the metropolitan police department
Immediately, even outside of those roles, we're taking them away from the things that they should be working on because only the FBI can work on them in such a capacity.
Those are terrorism cases that are not getting as much attention.
Those are cyber cases that
could be national security cases or they can be criminal cyber cases in which Americans are being defrauded of tremendous amounts of money.
They could be complex healthcare fraud investigations or espionage cases.
And just putting the human capacity of the FBI on other projects
that are not traditionally FBI priorities, and certainly we have other agencies that are supposed to attend to them, that by itself takes away from the attention we can give an already strapped FBI to conduct its national security mission and to work these really significant criminal cases on behalf of the American people.
Additionally, by putting them in that position, we continue to detract from the public trust in the agency.
And as I said, the trust of the public is essential in accomplishing the mission of the FBI.
Our government works at the consent of the people and law enforcement at any level.
And I've worked at local levels and at federal levels
