A whistleblower from the Federal Bureau of Investigation told Project Veritas founder and President James O’Keefe in a recorded interview posted late Wednesday that the FBI’s “direction” in recent months “troubles a vast majority of the agents.”

The whistleblower said the documents were given to him by a sympathetic colleague who also believed there was a “political vendetta” against O’Keefe’s organization.
O’Keefe has contended that he and his journalists were targeted because of their investigative journalism.
The special agent told O’Keefe that investigations into news organizations are “not common,” and the few that are investigated are almost always tied to “threat countries.”
The documents show that the Bureau labeled Project Veritas as “news media” in its investigation, even though the government said in a court filing that Project Veritas does not engage in journalism. The government’s filing specifically stated, “Project Veritas is not engaged in journalism within any traditional or accepted definition of that word,” because its reporting is “non-consensual.”
Under this non-media classification, government lawyers argued that the actions taken by the feds “to surveil, raid and seize materials from Project Veritas journalists were appropriate.”
The whistleblower said it was “alerting” that the FBI categorized the investigation into Project Veritas internally as a Special Investigative Matter (“SIM”), which is an investigation into a public figure, political official (involving corruption or a threat to national security), a religious or political organization, someone in academia, or the news media. All SIMs have to be signed off on by an supervisor and legal counsel, he explained.
The investigation was also classified under Threat Band I, which is usually reserved for “threat issues that are likely to cause the greatest damage to national interests or public safety in the coming year,” the agent said.

Blah,blah,blah. Still waiting for all the good agents that Hannity and Joe DiGenova claimed were upset with Comey et al to come forward.
As I recall, Don Johnson, the FBI agent involved in framing Richard Jewell was suspended.
When he returned to work, his fellow FBI agents lined the halls to welcome him back with a standing ovation.
“...that the FBI’s “direction” in recent months “troubles a vast majority of the agents.”
Oh, but before recent months everything was just fine.
Even if their livelihood is threatened, they took an oath to NOT break the law, and they routinely break the law as an organization. It's time for agents to step it up.
If you’re not part of the solution, you are the problem.
The interview at the link is powerful.
The FBI is a criminal organization.
If they had any integrity, they would quit.
Too late for the agents. They’re in FBI crime syndicate and you don’t just walk away from that.
The DOJ and FBI have proven corrupt in the last 6 years or so..... yes and even before that.
And thousands of decent agents of the bureau should be PISSED OFF!!!
They’re already involved. The announcement of such an office was an extended effect of policies laid down under the virus to vet the ranks - military, federal workers & civilian police - of noncompliant troublemakers.
We are one manufactured crisis from a sea change in our country’s landscape, at which time all turncoats are validated under ROE by the eternally faithful.
“vast majority of agents”. LOL Pull the other one! No one believes that lie anymore.
There aren't enough of them to play a game of bridge.
There could be just one lib in the DOJ and they’d be bringing the house down on conservatives,. But we hear about all the red white and blue rank and file and Hillary, Biden, and rest of their ilk all skate free.
