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.

Just wait until the Disinformation Governance Board gets involved.
Then say something publicly, tweet it out, or better yet resign in mass, but no just keep the job and collect the bennies.
Yeah. 99% of the agents are troubled by the direction of the bad 1%. Uh huh.
This leak sounds like it came from the Disinformation Board.
Agents our troubled over the direction of the bureau in the past few months and they dont investigate news organizations?
C’mon man
“The FBI also used its Cellular Analysis Survey Team (CAST) tools, which includes cellular geolocation tracking of phone devices, to secretly surveil Project Veritas journalists, according to the whistleblower and as revealed on the leaked document.”
Cellular geolocation must be accurate for investigations. (2000 mules)
Sounds like a Sean Hannity plant found a microphone...
I just saw that Strzok’s wife is working for the SEC, who is interested in Musk all of a sudden. I swear, Strzok is an arrogant pimple on a pig’s ass, and believed he was headed for the number 1 position.
Still waiting for the red white and blue rank and file to do something
Note to said agents: You swore an oath. Keep it or quit.
Investigative journalism has to be consensual?!
The whole point of it is that it’s non-consensual.
LOL. Were they troubled the last several years. Things didn’t just start a few months ago.
“Yeah. 99% of the agents are troubled by the direction of the bad 1%.”
More like the 1% worrying the 99% giving them a bad name.
its probably true. think about how many good police officers you know who aren’t beating people down because they piss the cop off. Then think of how the media treats the stories of the less than 1% of the cops who have power issues. The media blows up the negative stories because they are dramatic and get them viewers AND NEVER ONCE tell the story from a statistical perspective. Have you ever heard the media say, “This incident is sad and likely devastating to all who are involved, but national statistics show that there are 3 million stops every day and this sort of abusive interaction happens 1 time every two months. In other words, this happens 1 time in 180 million stops. You have a better chance of getting struck by lightning.” This would drastically alter the perspective of the general public and there would be vastly fewer anti-police actions taken because people would have a real idea of what is going on out there. (my numbers are made up. I don’t know what the actual statistics are.)
when the PERPS claim “we are victims”
it is a scam.
THE FIB was the leader of the TREASON,
and protecting the raping of BABIES and America.
THE FIB did NOTHING except more of the same,
TO THIS DAY.
“Yeah. 99% of the agents are troubled by the direction of the bad 1%. Uh huh.”
People here have flipped that around into saying that the 1% of good agents are stigmatized by the 99% of bad agents.
I don’t believe the vast majority of FBI agents are troubled by the direction the FBI has been heading in the “recent months.”
The FBI is corrupt and clearly has been corrupt for a few decades and for anyone to only be concerned about the recent months, it must be fake news.
“Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.”
John Stuart Mill
It clearly has been corrupted, and even if there are people there who don't agree with the direction of the agency, they are going to be afraid to speak out. There's a reason why the person on this video is an unidentified whistleblower. There's no way the corrupt leadership of the FBI is going to let themselves be questioned by anyone within the ranks of the FBI.
