‘Put Americans in Danger’: FBI Ends Comey-Era Ties With ADL
The move came after the ADL came under fire for adding Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA to its “Glossary of Extremism.”
FBI Director Kash Patel told Fox News Digital that the agency cut off ties with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) established under former Director James Comey:
“James Comey disgraced the FBI by writing ‘love letters’ to the ADL and embedding agents with an extreme group functioning like a terrorist organization and the disgraceful operation they ran spying on Americans. That was not law enforcement, it was activism dressed up as counterterrorism, and it put Americans in danger,” Patel told Fox News Digital.
“That era is finished. This FBI formally rejects Comey’s policies and any partnership with the ADL,” he added.
The “love letter” came out in 2014, in which he professed his love for the FBI.
In 2017, Comey said, “Three years later I can say, from the perspective of the FBI, we’re still in love with you.”
The move came after the ADL came under fire for adding Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA to its “Glossary of Extremism.”
The backlash led to the ADL deleting the entire glossary.
I cannot find when the ADL added TPUSA to the list. According to Mediate, in a now-deleted X post, the ADL described TPUSA as “a right-wing student group whose leaders & activists have made multiple racist or bigoted comments & have been linked to a variety of extremists.”
Excuse me? Charlie was not antisemitic or had links to antisemitic groups. Charlie literally wrote to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about how to fight against opposition towards Israel.
However, Mediate also makes me think that the ADL listed TPUSA after Kirk’s assassination: “In a statement, the ADL announced that it had retired the ‘extremism’ database after its decision to list Turning Point USA – even after founder Kirk’s recent assassination – sparked uproar on social media, including from billionaire Elon Musk and Donald Trump Jr.”
Here’s ADL’s statement:
With over 1,000 entries written over many years, the ADL Glossary of Extremism has served as a source of high-level information on a wide range of topics for years. At the same time, an increasing number of entries in the Glossary were outdated. We also saw a number of entries intentionally misrepresented and misused. Moreover, our experts have continued to develop more comprehensive resources and innovative ways to provide information about antisemitism, extremism and hate.
At ADL, we always are looking for how we can and should do things better. That’s why we are moving to retire the Glossary effectively immediately. This will allow ADL to explore new strategies and creative approaches to deliver our data and present our research more effectively. It will keep us focused on ensuring we do what we do best: fighting antisemitism and hate in the most impactful ways possible.
Why not just delete TPUSA and, I don’t know, add ANTIFA?! Yeah…the ADL never listed ANTIFA in its glossary.

So does the FBI maintain the same love relationship with SPLC?
And the ACLU?
The ACLU doesn’t publish hate lists (except for #2 in the Bill of Rights).
That doesn’t make the anti-American Communist lawyers Union good guys

Did they? Or are you making that up?
My mouth to Kash’s ears, apparently:

It is heart breaking the the ADL has veered so far away from its mission of combating antisemitism. It is now nothing more than a Democratic Party NGO
The ADL’s core mission is to combat non-wokeness.
The ADL used to be useful if occasional hysterical organization. It is a pity what it has become. As mentioned below they hired an Obamanaut to run it. He has taken the organization far to the left. He has the ADL diverging from its former core mission of combating antisemitism and instead acting like another far left progressive group. Perhaps this started before his arrival. I’m not sure on that.
The ADL has been captured by left wing extremists just like most organizations. They belong with SPLC and Media Matters. They are a money laundering scam. Solicit donations that pay big salaries to the administrators, who then write screeds against conservatives. Send out another solicitation e-mail. Lather rinse repeat.
If you want to see how bad the left lies and tries to subvert the truth…. Subscribe to “Move On” email list. It will open your eyes to how dishonest and insane the left really is..
Read that rot and risk brain damage
ADL prez Greeny is Obama functionary / sycophant IE the perfect leader for the ADL nowadays.
Under this corrosive leftist/Dhimmi-crat leadership, the ADL refuses to acknowledge, much less combat, the Islamofascist-Dhimmi-crat “Green-Red” alliance and attendant hate-mongering, Israelophobia and attendant vilification of Jewish and non-Jewish supporters of Israel.
ADL is a disgrace and is working at cross-purposes to the laudable efforts of conservative and patriotic American Jews to combat Dhimmi-crat/Islamofascist Jew-hate and Israel vilification.
the underground tunnels of the fbi ( and manyyy other tax funded entities) run to and from the dnc
despite the lord judgeships that are stopping maga…continue to flood the zone with firings and doge of these lairs of treachery that are but quicksand to maga
Got to love it. Shamed into taking down their hate pages on hate.
if you hate the jews you hate jesus
which is why certain elements on the left have to walk carefully ( for the moment) on this fact
b/c many on the left are followers of jesus and to alienate those would cause a traumatic shift away from the apathy that is now in play which benefits the leftys violence prone ways
David Codrea: “It doesn’t strike any Democrats as odd that ADL’s whole shtick is defaming people?”
It’s been many years since the ADL was a helpful organization.
As a Jew, I am very sad. I no longer support organizations that support Leftist causes, such as gun control.
