"Go in and think like a liberal" was the advice two FBI agents gave Jonathan Gilliam prior to his taking an FBI entrance exam. Gilliam shared his anecdote during a Wednesday interview on SiriusXM's Breitbart News Tonight with co-hosts Rebecca Mansour and Joel Pollak.
Gilliam, a retired Navy SEAL and former FBI special agent, spoke of left-wing political corruption across the federal government, specifically identifying the CIA and FBI.
The FBI's entrance exam illustrated how leftists use ideological filtering tools preferencing ideological fellow travelers, said Gilliam.
The "deep state" network of leftists, said Gilliam, extends across various federal bureaucracies. He advised President Donald Trump to cleanse federal bureaucracies of politically corrupt leftists.
"You can call them deep state. You can call them globalists. I often call them communists," said Gilliam of left-wing federal bureaucrat careerists.
Both the FBI and CIA reward left-wing ideological alignment over meritorious service in determining internal promotions, said Gilliam.
Ideological alignment allows otherwise disconnected people across federal bureaucracies to cooperate absent conspiracy, said Gilliam, using terrorist networks as an illustration of this phenomenon.
