Former FBI special agent Nicole Parker, who served for over a dozen years, has detailed the growing internal divisions within the Federal Bureau of Investigation in her new book, The Two FBIs. The book describes how the FBI has become fractured, with the agency now divided into two distinct groups: FBI 1, dedicated to law and order, and FBI 2, which has become politicized and focused on identity politics and personal agendas.
Parker, who was invited to the Oval Office by President Donald Trump to discuss her book, states that she has witnessed firsthand how the FBI has shifted from its original mission. She explains that FBI 1 represents agents committed to serving the American people and upholding the Constitution, while FBI 2 is composed of those who have misused their authority for political and social motives. She believes that the agency is now engaged in an internal civil war, with agents divided between these two factions.
The book also highlights the consequences of this internal conflict. For instance, Parker recalls the tragic deaths of two FBI agents during a search warrant execution on a child predator. She describes how these events underscore the risks posed by the FBI’s growing internal divisions. Despite these challenges, Parker remains hopeful that the new administration will restore the agency’s core mission by eliminating the influence of FBI 2 and reaffirming the principles of FBI 1.
Throughout the book, Parker reflects on her experiences, describing the physical and emotional toll of her service as an FBI agent. She also emphasizes the importance of truth and integrity in law enforcement. In her view, the FBI has become more interested in political agendas than in protecting the public. She asserts that she left the FBI in October 2022, feeling that her personal values were at odds with the agency’s direction. Parker’s memoir serves as a stark critique of the FBI’s current state, offering insight into the internal struggles that have shaped its modern trajectory.
