FBI leaders ordered the new head of Miami's field office Jeffrey Veltri to scrub anti-Trump comments from his social media accounts, according to a new whistleblower account.
The whistleblower disclosure to the House Judiciary Committee, obtained by The Washington Times, said FBI Director Christopher Wray, Deputy Director Paul Abbate, and Executive Assistant Director Jennifer Moore ordered Veltri to scrub his "adamantly and vocally anti-Trump" remarks from his social media accounts in order to get a promotion.
"The home of President Donald Trump is located in the area of responsibility of the Miami Field Office," the disclosure obtained by the Times read. "It was well known that Veltri was adamantly and vocally Anti-Trump.
"Wray, Abbate, and Moore wanted to ensure that Veltri appeared nonpolitical. Veltri was ordered to remove all of his Facebook and social media posts that were anti-Trump."
Former President Donald Trump has long decried political bias by the FBI leadership, and the House is investigating President Joe Biden's administration for weaponizing justice and government against its political opponents and conservatives.
Notably, the order to scrub the remarks ignored the clear anti-Trump messaging and was given to cover political bias during the promotion process, according to the whistleblower.
"For whatever reason, unfortunately, the No. 1 criminal subject right now for the FBI seems to be Donald Trump," former FBI agent Kurt Siuzdak, a lawyer representing the whistleblower, told the Times. "So you would think they would go out of their way to make sure that everyone involved in the investigation is completely unbiased because they've already suffered the issues with bias several years ago regarding Trump.

The agent should be demoted or fired.
And incarcerated.
Demoted??? He should be fired
Jeffrey Veltri should be FIRED ASAP.
Won’t happen because we ALL KNOW the FBI does not have a milligram of INTEGRITY to do THE RIGHT THING!!!
And given a free helicopter ride!
🚁
🤸🏻♀️
Wray will probably give him a promotion.
TDS needs to be a disqualifier for any security clearance.
Scrubbing the statements.
Well, that will solve the problem. The PR problem, that is.
Obama’s FBI
The FIB is a bastion of apparent hostility and evil.
Imagine the thought process of someone who is currently or could shortly be working for Mr. X, whom he hates. He is or could be working indirectly for X but he feels he can say anything bad about X that he wants to say. Further, by putting it on the internet he might as well be chipping it in stone. He has to feel secure that it won’t affect his job prospects. Further, those posts are intended to reassure the people controlling promotions that he is on “their” side. That should tell us a lot about who he works for.
Any questions why he got the promotion?
The DoJ is an organization where they high 5 each other whenever they get an innocent person convicted. They are also good at murdering unarmed women holding babies, mass gassing of children and sending platoons of armored agents after the elderly.
They’re starting to go into hiding for fear of Trumps election.
Weaponized government.
Bigger bonus for this guy.
I grew up respecting the FBI.
As an adult I looked on as the agency destroyed every bit of that respect.
Into many ways it’s more like the KGB these days.
Good point.
Like that 1980s poll that showed nearly all journalists were solidly pro-Dem. After that they pretended to be middle of the road. Clammed up. Never was a useful poll on the topic after that.
Now unless you bug the table at a big FBI drinking party at some bar/restaurant where they raise their glasses to toast the Dem candidate you won’t hear anything biased now.
Once upon a time, FBI agents were pretty much a button down, white bread, (no reflection of skin color), conservative bunch. But, as the moral fiber of our country devolves, so does the FBI. They, like other entities, are just a microcosm of our world.
