On eve of hearing, FBI says it revoked security clearances of 3 agents over Jan. 6 attack

At least two of the agents are expected to testify on Capitol Hill Thursday.

The FBI has revoked the security clearances of three agents for issues related to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to a letter from the bureau to congressional investigators obtained by ABC News.

One of the agents was among the pro-Trump mob at the U.S. Capitol, according to the FBI, and the two others are alleged to have hindered investigative efforts.

At least two of the agents -- Steve Friend and Marcus Allen -- are expected to testify Thursday before the Republican-led House select subcommittee on Weaponization of the Federal Government as part of its probe into the federal government's purported wrongdoings against conservatives.

The letter could lead to a contentious hearing, providing what could be fresh ammunition to Democrats as they attempt to undercut the credibility of the committee's witnesses and bolster their claims that Republicans are seeking to whitewash the seriousness of the assault on the Capitol.

Russell Dye, a spokesperson for committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said the letter was an act of desperation by the FBI.

Nobody’s going to defund the Creep State, and it won’t be reformed any time soon. It’s like trying to get rid of all the barnacles on the hull of a 100-year-old tramp steamer. The best that can be hoped for is to do some house cleaning in the upper echelons.

democrats always get away with retaliating against their enemies.

Yet another form of lawfare.

Does anyone have faith in the FBI, other than some members of the fake news?

What else can the lawless dopes in the FBI do to these people?

The testimony is actual news, rather than the junk the other networks put out.

Wow, talk about swift action! Only three years, five months into this farce and suddenly there’s a problem with testimony? Good thing the MSM are on the J. O. B...

So the FBI can take away an agent’s property and prevent them from earning a livlihood without any process? That violates the Fourth Amendment.

Second, it is important to remember the DOJ inspector general was not authorized to conduct any oversight of the Dept of Justice National Security Division, DOJ-NSD

Thanks to Wray's buddy Sally Yates (DOJ, fired by Trump but the NSD is still protected).

I have long held the opinion that anybody who is on the Federal payroll should be subject to the same terms and conditions that our military is subject to. The UCMJ. If that’s good enough for our troops, then it should be good enough for everybody else in the Federal government employ. If they don’t like that, they are free to find employment in the private sector.

The crooked agents give the other 5% a bad name.

The problem is they expect to have it both ways, power without responsibility, and the FBI won't enforce the latter.
