Arecently retired FBI supervisory intelligence analyst told Congress in a whistleblower disclosure that agents in Boston were improperly pressured by Washington to open criminal cases on 140 people who had simply taken a bus ride to the Jan. 6 rally in Washington. The agents refused because there was no evidence the attendees engaged in any criminality, the whistleblower said.
George Hill's testimony to the House Judiciary Committee also raised new civil liberty concerns about the FBI's Jan. 6 probe, including whether the Bureau mined Americans' bank records without court authority and whether the agency possesses video footage it is refusing to release because it identifies undercover agents and human sources who were at the U.S. Capitol that fateful day.
Hill, a military veteran and longtime analyst for the National Security Agency (NSA) and FBI who retired last year from the Bureau's Boston field office, told Just the News on Wednesday night that he disclosed concerns earlier this week to the House Judiciary Committee during a transcribed deposition, including that the Bureau analyzed banking data without evidence of a crime -- simply to find Americans who traveled to Washington around the time of Jan. 6 or who owned a gun.
Hill said supervisors in the Washington field office pressured to open cases, first on seven individuals who came up in a sweep of bank records provided by Bank of America, and then on the larger group of 140 Americans who paid to take bus rides to President Donald Trump's now infamous rally on Jan. 6, 2021, the day a mob overran police lines and flooded into the Capitol as Congress met to certify the 2020 election results. He credited his supervisors in Boston for resisting the pressure.

Must not be any real federal crimes being committed anymore, if they have time for this. Defund ‘em.
Good to know there are/were employees/agents with integrity
How do you sort thru the good and bad FBI agents? I don’t think it is possible and many people will not trust the FBI again.
I’m surprised they haven’t gone after the people who demonstrated at their state capitol buildings that day.

They need to name names ...who in the FBI are ordering this shit? It’s probably a few miscreants but I want names exposed.
I know I sure as h3ll don’t.
A pre-January 6th operation was definitely held at the Oregon State Capitol in December before Christmas.
That operation netted the resignation and prosecution of a Republican state legislator who opened the door for two actors to enter the building.
I think whistleblowing is a tactic right now to make it look like there are “lots of good people” in the FBI.
>> How do you sort thru the good and bad FBI agents?
What is a good FBI agent? One who doesn’t personally engage in extraconstitutional activities but who keeps his head down and his mouth shut when he sees evidence of them in the bureau?
Because I guarantee you EVERY DAMN ONE OF THEM knows this stuff is going on. IN DETAIL. They know names of those who ARE actively engaging in crimes against us, too. By keeping silent they themselves are committing malfeasance.
They were probably plants by Nancy or FIB.
What the Nazis did to the Jews, Democrats are doing to us.
And gutless Republicans say nothing.
“The agents refused because there was no evidence the attendees engaged in any criminality, the whistleblower said. “
It’s good to know that not all FBI agents will invent charges in order to arrest innocent people.

Tell your P-Hat friends that the FBI did this to the people who went to protest the Abortion decision.
Whip them up into a frenzy.
Then let them know the targets were Trump supporters taking a bus.
DOJ was not involved in this?
I completely agree. We’ll see more whistleblowers come forth, BUT they were complicit in their silence for a very long time. My original post was asking the question for those that are not convinced the entire FBI needs to be shuttered.
Sounds like the Gestapo under Hitler. How did we fall so hard and so fast?
