Rank and file FBIers who have not spoken up against the illegalities of upper management are like moderate Muslims who never speak up against terrorist Muslims.
I agree, BUT I was a whistle blower. After and employment;oyee was murdered, I decided that was more important than remaining quiet in the face of management gross negligence.
A friend of mine who knew my department told me if I testified against our director i could not keep my job. They retaliated by taking my duties away. My health got bad, i had a minor heart attack and retired. I lost my whistle blower lawsuit.
I am telling this to say, that speaking out is not as easy or free of problems as we think. Had I young kids at the time, I’m not sure what I would have done.
Lastly, not all rank and file have info or evidence of the upper echelon wrong doing. Top people who are criminals like the DOJ and FBI are usually good at cover ups. When i testified, I knew what I was speaking of first hand because I was high ranking manager.
