Integrity and questioning corruption will not be tolerated.
A top official with the FBI has filed a protected disclosure to the Office of the Inspector General alleging that FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate told the bureau’s internal critics of its Jan. 6-related cases to seek employment elsewhere and offered to personally address his subordinates’ agents concerns.
In a sworn affidavit, the 15-year veteran FBI special agent alleges that, during a routine meeting in February 2021, the deputy director addressed internal concerns that the bureau had not taken the same approach to its investigations into the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot as it did with the 2020 riots and protests related to the death of George Floyd.
“He had heard that some employees were contrasting the response to January 6th with the response to the post-George Floyd protests and riots in the summer of 2020,” the whistleblower alleges. “DD [Deputy Director] Abbate told the audience that anyone who questions the FBI’s response or his decisions regarding the response to January 6th did not belong in the FBI and should find a different job – or something to that effect.”
Abbate reportedly went on to insist that the bureau’s responses to both matters had been consistent and that it was conducting itself properly.
He then, however, “challenged all Special Agents in Charge (‘SACs’) that if they had an employee that did not agree, the SACs could have that employee call DD Abbate personally and he would set them straight,” the affidavit continues.
Abbate allegedly made the statement during a routine Secure Video Teleconference (SVTC), the bureau’s weekly Wednesday meeting in which the FBI director addresses all of the bureau’s divisions. The field office heads, foreign legal attaches, and headquarters divisions typically attend that event, the affidavit states.
“I have witnessed hundreds of Director SVTCs and have never seen a direct threat like that any other time,” the whistleblower asserted. “It was chilling and personal, communicating clearly that there would be consequences for anyone that questioned his direction.”
……Empower Oversight, a whistleblower advocacy group, wrote to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz on Wednesday, asking him to “independently corroborate” the whistleblower’s allegations. Empower is currently representing other FBI whistleblowers who have alleged political bias within the bureau and acts of retaliation against whistleblowers. Empower stressed that the affiant “does not know and is not associated” with its other clients.
One of Empower’s clients, Special Agent Stephen Friend had raised concerns about the bureau’s alleged manipulation of crime statistics, its treatment of Jan. 6 defendants, and its use of SWAT teams. He further claims that the FBI suspended him for raising concerns about those matters.
……”FBI executives routinely retaliate against employees for expressing concerns about the FBI and the Department of Justice. If they belonged to any other federal law enforcement agency, they would have more effective remedies for these prohibited personnel practices,” Empower President Tristan Leavitt wrote. “But at the FBI, legally protected disclosures are not protected in practice. The vast majority of FBI employees don’t have the same civil service protections as other federal employees to obtain review of disciplinary actions taken against them.”
“The FBI is not a private club for FBI executives to make in their own image,” he continued.
These whistleblowers are not only ones to speak out. Former FBI Deputy Assistant Director of the Counterterrorism Division Terry Turchie slammed the use of SWAT teams to terrorize people accused of misdemeanors.
Whistleblowers have come forward to say Christopher Wray has lost control of the agency; that the same FBI boss who shut down the probe into Hunter Biden’s laptop also pressured agents to inflate the number of “domestic extremists”, and how the agency suppresses evidence of Biden family crimes.
The corrupt FBI sewer rats have committed egregious crimes against civil liberties to intimidate and suppress dissent. Since 6 January, FBI gestapo targeted an innocent man for attending President Trump’s 6 January rally, raided the wrong home in Alaska looking for Nancy Pelosi’s laptop, arrested a man for standing inside the capitol and waving a Trump banner, confiscated a Lego set from an “insurrectionist” and asked that citizens turn in their “extremist friends and relatives“.
Jan 6 protesters are being held without due process in Biden’s gulag while Antifa and BLM thugs walk free. They have been beaten and isolated by the guards. Lawyers for one, a man called Ryan Samsel, say he was beaten so badly he has a skull fracture and is now blind in one eye.
One of them died awaiting trial.
The FBI framed the 6 January MAGA protesters by inserting undercover agents and informants in the crowd to encourage violence. It backfired, but that’s not stopping the Feds from persecuting people who simply wandered the hallways, stood outside the building, and peacefully protested. The FBI’s role was intended to be subversive and to gather as much intelligence on the participants as possible.
Why aren’t Tim Gionet, Luke Phillip Robinson and Ray Epps in solitary confinement with the rest of the political prisoners in their gulag?
The FBI and DOJ are rounding up dissidents and engaging in political persecutions. The Dems have turned the government into a machine that rivals the Stasi. Look what they’ve done to people who protest the corrupt status quo and refuse to obey the regime.
The home of gubernatorial Candidate Ryan Kelley was raided simply because he stood outside the capitol on January 6.
This is the kind of shit that happens in communist dictatorships and Banana Republics.
