The FBI reached a settlement with whistleblower Marcus Allen after he was suspended without pay and had his security clearance pulled after he made protected disclosures regarding the testimony of Director Christopher Wray concerning the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
Nonprofit watchdog Empower Oversight announced the settlement Tuesday after it filed an appeal on behalf of Allen in October 2023. The settlement includes 27 months of back pay and benefits that the FBI withheld from Allen since he was suspended in February 2022. Separately, the FBI also restored his security clearance.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said the FBI's decision to reinstate Allen's security clearance was a "total vindication for a great patriot" who "bravely stood up to expose misconduct at the FBI, despite attacks from FBI bureaucrats and congressional Democrats."
Allen, who resigned voluntarily from the FBI this week, said the bureau retaliated against him for his disclosure.
"Although a final OIG report would likely have supported Allen’s retaliation claims, the FBI granted his appeal before the OIG reported on its findings," Empower Oversight said in a press release regarding Allen's settlement.
Allen urged there to be accountability to prevent this from happening to others in the future.
"While I feel vindicated now in getting back my security clearance, it is sad that in the country I fought for as a Marine, the FBI was allowed to lie about my loyalty to the U.S. for two years," Allen said. "Unless there is accountability, it will keep happening to others. Better oversight and changes to security clearance laws are key to stop abuses suffered by whistleblowers like me."
Like Jordan, Empower Oversight President Tristan Leavitt called the settlement a "total vindication" for Allen.

It is not a “total vindication” as those people who persecuted him are still in their positions. The corrupt system hasn’t suffered in the slightest.
Oh....but Garland said today that those involved would be held
responsible......what a man...
To repeat for the umpteenth time: The process IS the Punishment!
So the taxpayers ponied up… what about those who did the deed?
The Fey Wray is a traitor and needs to be tried as such [by a MAGA Judge and Jury...].
“Although a final OIG report would likely have supported Allen’s retaliation claims, the FBI granted his appeal before the OIG reported on its findings,”
As always. No accountability. The law should require it to be finished.
The same thing will happen if Trump get out of the NY mess if the USSC rules he has immunity. If that happens then none of the crooked people who broke so many laws will face accountability. All the illegal action by the judge will never be officially called out.
100% true. Without consequences for the perps (and they are perps) this illegal active will continue unabated.
From another thread:
“...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...”
Whut is going on?
The Speedreader is very handy! Thank you for the tip!
So the FBLie had to admit they were wrong. ha.
Yeah. How about damages personally from those involved and those who ordered it all the way up to the political suite a DOJ.
You see, they are not malicious. They corrected themselves, provided all the documents he needed. /s
“While I feel vindicated now in getting back my security clearance, it is sad that in the country I fought for as a Marine, the FBI was allowed to lie about my loyalty to the U.S. for two years,” Allen said in a public statement.“Unless there is accountability, it will keep happening to others,” he said. “Better oversight and changes to security clearance laws are key to stop abuses suffered by whistleblowers like me.”
