Publisher Description

An FBI veteran explains how the Mueller–Comey cabal turned the FBI from a “swear to tell the truth” law-enforcement agency to a politicized intelligence organization.

Americans have lost faith in the Federal Bureau of Investigation, an institution they once regarded as the world’s greatest law-enforcement agency. Thomas Baker spent many years with the FBI and is deeply troubled by this loss of faith. Specific lapses have come to light and each is thoroughly discussed in this book: Why did they happen? What changed? The answer begins days after the 9/11 attacks when the FBI underwent a significant change in culture.

To understand how far the Bureau has fallen, this book shows the crucial role played by the FBI and its agents in past decades. It was quite often, as the reader will see from these firsthand experiences, a fun-filled adventure with exciting skyjackings, kidnappings, and bank robberies. At the same time, the reader will see the reverence the Bureau had for the Constitution and the concern agents held for the rights of each American.

This book is not mere memoir—it is history. From the shooting of President Reagan and the death of Princess Diana to the TWA 800 crash and even getting marching orders from St. Mother Teresa, Baker’s story shows how the FBI has played a pivotal role in our country’s history.

“Tom Baker is a legend in the FBI: the first agent on the scene of the Reagan assassination attempt, wizened veteran of hundreds of other criminal cases, large and small. When he writes…Baker commands unrivaled authority—and the undistracted attention of all patriots who care whether the United States remains a nation of laws.”

— James Rosen, chief White House correspondent and author of The Strong Man 

Quotes

  • “An interesting and insightful look into the FBI. This book will give the reader a better understanding of the inner workings of the FBI and integrity of some Agents and the lack of it in other Agents. A very powerful read.”

    — Joe Pistone, former FBI agent, and New York Times bestselling author
  • “The incredible insight from Thomas Baker’s thirty-three-year career at the Bureau and his eye-opening reporting make The Fall of the FBI a book only he could have written, and it’s essential reading for the rest of us who want to know what went wrong and wonder if the FBI can be saved.”

    — Mollie Hemingway, Editor in Chief of The Federalist and author of Rigged
