Why the FBI has so few whistleblowers
American Thinker ^ | 05/18/2023 | Monica Showalter

If there is any question as to why a hyper-politicized FBI has failed to attract many whistleblowers, Thursday's coming congressional testimony from real FBI whistleblowers should show how they treat their whistleblowers.

According to JustTheNews:

Three FBI whistleblowers will testify to Congress on Thursday about the bureau's alleged retaliatory efforts against them for questioning FBI practices and narratives on sensitive political issues.

As House lawmakers continue to investigate the politicization of federal agencies under the Biden administration, numerous individuals within those organizations have come forward with claims of misconduct at the highest levels, and have often reported severe professional backlash from their superiors in the process.

Just the News has obtained the prepared opening statements of whistleblowers Marcus Allen, Garret O'Boyle, and Stephen Friend, who will testify before the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.

The three FBI special agents who did blow the whistle were treated to an astonishingly vindictive retaliation -- starting with pullings of their security clearances, which left them unable to work -- and a whole host of other petty, mean-spirited actions that would put the KGB to shame.

 
Whistleblower Marcus Allen, using internal channels, not the press, questioned FBI Director Christopher Wray's congressional testimony claiming there were no FBI informants among the Trumpsters on January 6, politely suggesting that perhaps the Director was being misled by his own men who were involved with such activity.
 
What did he get for that? 
 
Allen, on Thursday, will tell Congress that the bureau subsequently suspended his security clearance, questioned his loyalty to the United States, and accused him of holding
 "conspiratorial views."
 

More specifically, he got his clearance pulled while they "investigated" and while he was waiting for this big investigation of some kind, got his paycheck withheld, too.

To make matters worse, the FBI brass refused to let him find some kind of outside employment while he waited for them to 'investigate' his questionings, apparently trying to starve him to death -- or more likely, force him to resign when he got hungry. They also yanked his health insurance, which of course, would put him in violation of federal Obamacare law on mandatory health care coverage. Good luck if anyone in his family got sick.

All find and dandy to expose, but we need some significant accountability actions taken. Not hand slaps, firings and garnishment of pensions, civil suits and criminal referrals.

I guess only trust fund babies should get a job in the FBI going forward.

Simple...they don’t want to get fired.
The same thing happened at Intel back around 2002.
Say anything about H1b, diversity or Americans being fired and you were GONE.

Like much of woke government in DC, its a bubble that is ideologically self-selecting.

People with any constitutional, libertarian, small-government, christian views - would have never joined in the first place, or probably quite long ago.

The Gestapo didn’t have “whistle blowers” because all of them signed up for the ideology

Looks like the FBI has become the criminal organization(s) they are supposed to investigate.

Newsmax is covering it too. That nasty Linda Sanchez isn’t letting the whistleblowers respond to her twisted questions. What a b*tch.

They don’t want to get fired, but they also don’t want the fbi to retaliate against them, making their life miserable for exposing the fbi

So apparently, the only way to get your security clearance revoked is to do something that pisses off the power that be.

Never mind a Secretary of State that had installed a computer separate from the State Department’s secured network, which allowed her to funnel classified and other documents, as well as communicate with private e-mail accounts, via her unsecured server.

Never mind every single one of the people involved with the spying of the Trump campaign and then Trump administration. Using government agencies and resources against political adversaries. From Obama, Biden, Rice, Clinton, Brennan and all the rest of them, should have had their security clearance immediately revoked by DJT. Additionally, there should have been immediate investigations and prosecutions for all of them.

Famous last words. Should have been . . .

The committee Dems are arguing that Marcus Allen is not a whistleblower. Linda Sanchez’ husband was sentenced Wednesday to six months in prison for using public funds to pay for lavish trips to the Kentucky Derby and a luxury golf resort.

Considering that the fbi is free to do whatever it wants with impunity, it follows that if an agent would dare expose any actions of the fbi, they would be strung up and left to hang as an example. It’s not like the deepstate government would give an fbi whistleblower any protection. The corrupt DOJ provides cover and cleans up the mess.

Testimony from real FBI whistleblowers should show how they treat their whistleblowers.

It’s on Newsmax now and the democrat presidium is doing everything to keep them from giving a full and truthful answers.
Democrats are in full dirty deed mode to keep power of the FBI and DOJ away from the republicans they are the swamp makers.
