Is Public corruption / human trafficking / and / drug smuggling an investigative priority for the FBI?

Yes it is. Public corruption is one of the FBI’s top investigative priorities indeed. Why? Because of its impact on our democracy and national security. Public corruption can affect everything from how well our borders are secured and our neighborhoods protected, …to verdicts handed down in courts…to the quality of our roads and schools. And it takes a significant toll on our pocketbooks, too, siphoning off tax dollars. Because of its impact on national security, crookedness in our public corruption is a priority.
