EXCLUSIVE - The FBI's 'abuse of power': Three whistleblowers will lay out how bureau 'inflated domestic extremism' stats and prioritized January 6 defendants over child predators in bombshell hearing
DAILY MAIL ^ | 15 May 2023 | KELLY LACO

Rep. Jim Jordan secured the in-person testimony of former FBI officials Garret O'Boyle, Steve Friend and Marcus Allen - all who have been suspended for vocalizing concerns.

The witnesses will detail on Thursday how they have been 'retaliated' against by the FBI for speaking out.

The officials say the FBI has inflated statistics on 'domestic violent extremism' to fit the Biden administration's political narratives

...

Three FBI officials will testify on alleged 'abuses of power' by FBI leadership - ranging from discrimination against conservatives to inflation of domestic terrorism statistics - during a public whistleblower hearing by the House Select Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government Thursday, DailyMail.com has learned exclusively.

Rep. Jim Jordan, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee and head of the select committee, has secured the in-person testimony of suspended FBI special agents Garret O'Boyle and Steve Friend, as well as former FBI State Operations Specialist Marcus Allen. President of Empower Oversight Tristan Leavitt will also be testifying.

The hearing is set to be held at 9 a.m. ET Thursday and will focus on the 'abuses of power' the former officials witnessed. They will be given the opportunity to detail how they have been 'retaliated' against by the FBI, according to a source familiar.

The O'Boyle and Friend participated in a closed door transcribed interview in February conducted by the select committee.

...

'The manipulative casefile practice creates false and misleading crime statistics, constituting false official federal statements,' Friend wrote in an affidavit.

...

Friend had his security clearance revoked last September after he vocalized concerns to his superiors, which he described in an affidavit as being a clear retaliatory move by the agency against him. O'Boyle's clearance has also been stripped.

I heard Steve Friend discuss it. So disgusting.
They know they are full of crap, so they had to bring in the under cover Feds to march around DC last weekend.

So what’s Jordan’s end game here? Dems always have a plan and they execute it. OTOH, GOP just gives their voters some drive by hearings and that’s it.

I don’t care what anyone says, this politicized FBI must cease to exist. It is a threat to our country.

House GOP can defund IMMEDIATELY and have doors locked. Biden having everyone at the IRS investigating his son fired yesterday is the last straw.

How far this country has fallen. 😞

When even Trump says we are a banana republic, we have fallen pretty far.

Kyle Seraphin is also a whistleblower and his family and friends are being harassed by Wray’s Goon Squad.

Our “news media” will bring on weasels like Weismann and Carville to spew the latest Democratic propaganda line. You expect these cutthroats to have any decency?

It's clear to me that the Justice Department and the FBI are suffering from a political infection that, if it's not defeated, will cause the American people no longer to trust these storied institutions,' Grassley said during the hearing.


Like that hasn't happened already?
