Reminds me of the recently released book, The Thin Blue Lie by Greg Dillon.
Dillon was an FBI agent stationed in Connecticut, on their federal fugitive task force. He became aware that the affidavits he was writing out were being re-written by someone else, and including false information into the affidavit when theyre supposed to be 100% accurate and truthful. He checked with other agents to see if the same was happening to their affidavits too. It was.
He made official complaints, going through proper channels about it only to find himself punished by his supervisors in a variety of ways, transfered to an office that was considered “Siberia”, having his task force shrunk down until there was only him on it and then the task force would be shut down, being passed over for promotions that would be given to other practically brand new agents who served less time in the FBI and less experienced in the job than him, etc.
He sued and won a multi million dollar judgement against the FBI. After his court win, he still continued working for the FBI. But found himself still getting the “whistle-blower treatment” by his superiors. So he sued again and won again.
Apparently the FBI hasn’t learned its lesson and continues their revenge behavior against whistleblowers.
Whistle blowers are lucky they are breathing. FBI doesn’t play games.
