Three whistleblowers are scheduled to testify in the upcoming hearing of the House Judiciary Committee alleging major abuses of retaliation from those in the FBI.
The Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) of the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government will conduct the interviews with the whistleblowers allowing testimony about the alleged claims of FBI retaliation.
Just over the weekend, President Biden claims that the “most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland is white supremacy,” while FBI Special Agent Garret O’Boyle, former Special Agent Steve Friend, and Staff Operations Specialist Marcus Allen are scheduled to testify directly how that claim is unfounded and based on false data.
Jordan has said publicly that another whistleblower alleged, “‘the FBI has not followed regular procedure’ with respect to January 6 cases, which should all be officially led by the [Washington Field Office] and categorized as WFO cases, explaining: Instead, task force members in Washington D.C. identify ‘potential subjects’ and possible locations where these individuals reside. The task force disseminates information packets with instructions to open full investigations to [local] Field Offices around the country.”
In a closed door session of the Judiciary Committee, Friend and O’Boyle gave sworn affidavits of “The manipulative casefile practice creates false and misleading crime statistics, constituting false official federal statements.”
“Instead of hundreds of investigations stemming from an isolated incident at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, FBI and DOJ officials point to significant increases in domestic violent extremism and terrorism around the United States,” according to the former special agent.
Because of concerns raised by Friend, he alleged that his security clearances were revoked which also happened to O’Boyle after the FBI learned he came forward to the Committee as a whistleblower.
Judicial Watch is currently representing Allen who will be testifying before Congress for the first time on Thursday. Judicial Watch has a pending lawsuit against FBI Director Christopher Wray on behalf of Allen alleging that his constitutional rights were violated “by falsely accusing him of holding ‘conspiratorial views,’ stripping his security clearance, and suspending him from duty without pay.”
The FBI sent a letter to Allen on Jan. 10, 2022 which read “The Security Division has learned you have espoused conspiratorial views both orally and in writing and promoted unreliable information which indicates support for the events of January 6th. These allegations raise sufficient concerns about your allegiance to the United States and your judgment to warrant a suspension of your clearance pending further investigation.”
According to the report from House Republicans in November regarding the FBI abuse of power, “The problem lies, for example, with the FBI hierarchy that spied on President Trump’s campaign and ridiculed conservative Americans. The problem lies with FBI bureaucrats who altered and mischaracterized evidence to federal courts, circumvented safeguards, and exploited weaknesses in policies governing investigations and informants to target politically disfavored subjects and to protect favored ones. The problem lies with the FBI structure that centralizes high-profile cases in D.C, in the hands of politicized actors with politicized incentives.”
