Ann Coulter is calling for the abolition of the FBI.
While many on the left have called for the abolition of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the conservative columnist and bestselling author asserted it was the nationâs top law enforcement agency  that is beyond repair.
âItâs time to disband the FBI. This is not J. Edgar Hooverâs FBI, which was so good that liberals are still hysterical over it,â Coulter said Tuesday on Howie Carrâs syndicated radio show.
âMy father was in the bureau for a few years after law school,â she noted. âYou not only had to be a lawyer back then in order to be an FBI agent ⌠It wasnât strictly policy but J. Edgar Hoover, and, of course they were all men, generally preferred Catholics and Mormons on the grounds that were incorruptible. They were very, very honest and you could trust them.â
âAnd you didnât really have a lot of trouble under Hoover. We were actually having an enemy in Russia then,â she added.
âIâm pretty sure Strzok is a Catholic, supposedly, but theyâre not making Catholics like Pat OâBrien anymore,â Carr said.
He was referring to the affair between FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok and FBI attorney Lisa Page, who are married to other people and who were both on the special counselâs Russia investigation.
They were dismissed from the investigation after their anti-Trump texts became public, including ones in which Strzok called the president a âdisaster,â âabysmal,â and an âidiot.â He also assured Page before the 2016 election that Trump would never become president, texting, âNo. No he wonât. Weâll stop it.â
Strzok insisted during testimony before Congress last week, âI did not think that bias was expressed in those text messages.â
However, after Page met with lawmakers behind closed doors for a second time, Rep. John Ratcliff, R-Texas, told reporters on Monday, âIn many cases, she admits that the text messages mean exactly what they say, as opposed to Agent Strzok, who thinks that weâve all misinterpreted his own words on any text message that might be negative.â
During Tuesdayâs radio interview, Carr asked Coulter if FBI agents shouldnât be discouraged from acts that could expose them to blackmail, âLike having an affair with a co-worker?â
âOh my gosh, J. Edgar Hoover never would have allowed that. Never, never, never,â she replied, then laughed loud and long.
Coulter was promoting her new book which she said is called âResistance is Futile: How The Trump-Hating Left Lost Its Collective Mind,â and will be released on Aug. 21.
