The Two FBIs: The Bravery and Betrayal I Saw in My Time at the Bureau

Two of Nicole Parker’s colleagues were murdered while executing a search warrant on a dangerous suspect with no SWAT support. Meanwhile, the FBI sent SWAT for those charged with January 6 misdemeanors.

Special Agent Parker witnessed an internal war between what she refers to as the two FBIs - “FBI 1” and “FBI 2.” While FBI 1 was comprised of honest, unbiased employees dedicated to keeping all Americans safe, FBI 2 used their law enforcement power to push their personal political and social agendas. Lowering hiring standards, unequally enforcing laws, and aggressively going after perceived political or social enemies became commonplace, and it seemed unstoppable.

Through the lens of her life story, Parker chronicles the takeover of the bureau. The Two FBIs tells how Parker left her job in finance to serve her country. Her faith carried her through as she stared evil in the face on a daily basis while investigating the most heinous crimes.

Over time, FBI 2 seemed to be winning the battles, but Parker was adamant it would not win the war. After over a dozen years of service, she chose to leave the Bureau. FBI 1 warriors believe drastic changes and accountability are necessary in order to return the FBI to its greatness and restore the trust of the American people.

Filled with electrifying stories of violent crime takedowns and heart-wrenchingly tragic investigations, as well as shocking revelations about the administrative state shackling patriotic heroes, The Two FBIs will provide you with a new appreciation for what it takes to keep Americans secure—and how real the efforts are to cripple the brave souls who preserve our security.
