Sources tell The Daily Caller disgruntled FBI agents are too afraid of retaliation to speak out about the Bureau’s many troubles.
The sources say agents don’t trust Congress to protect them from the consequences of testifying and claim whistleblower protection laws are ineffective.
The FBI rarely punishes those who retaliate against whistleblowers, according to the agency itself.
Even as a new Rasmussen poll shows a majority of voters believe senior law enforcement officials broke the law to stop Donald Trump from beating Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election, rank-and-file FBI agents who want to testify against their superiors to Congress feel they can’t due to an ineffective whistleblower protection law.
These agents believe the sluggishness of the law exposes them to an inordinate risk of reprisal, so they have remained in hiding and afraid to speak the truth.
This story is based on interview transcripts with two FBI agents that one former White House official provided The Daily Caller. A third special agent also reached out to The Daily Caller to provide information about the current state of the Bureau.

Why’d yuh change the title?
It was an accident. I asked the mod to fix it.
Profiles in courage.
Remember the guys who testified about Benghazi? Neither does anyone else.
Take a clue.
Only an idiot believes their NoFEAR Act training.
The fake news is a bit amusing.
That’s why the side of beef is galloping all across the globe without any fear! These people are PURE EVIL!!!
It’s the leadership not the rank and file. That is BS PC.
Well hell, if FBI agents tell you something, you can take it to the bank.
The International Bank of Hell that is...
I really don’t want to hear this shit. Congress needs to subpoena. That way they’re forced to testify and they do receive some protections. Time to blow Washington up. If not now, not ever. Cocksuckers.
It’s the “Seth Rich” syndrome.
The FBI and CIA and DOJ know better than anybody about how that works, and nobody wants to go against them. Even with protection, you’ll forever be looking behind you and around you and suspicious of everyone around you.
Easily solved, put the entire FBI in prison for life and weld the doors shut.
Where are the “honorable”, “hard working” agents who have been against what mueller and comey have done... where are they? If this aritlce says they are afraid of the swamp state criminals... and it’s true... there is no need to have an FBI... it’s been basterdized and will never be fit to use again.
Trust is gone. Believing them is gone. The top man has been a cirminal for a long time... so has other top rung men n important departments.
I get the same title at the link =>
“Sources: FBI Agents Afraid To Testify, Say Congress Likely Won’t Protect Them”
Disband the agency.
It’s the only way to be sure.
The title has been changed. What more do you want?

Reminds me of the Benghazi whitnesses
I thought this would happen. Obviously many a FReeper is not so paranoid about our Leftist friends.
Wasn’t complaining
Just wondering
