An FBI supervisor is blowing the whistle on his own organization, alleging to the Justice Department's chief watchdog and Congress that the bureau has been improperly suspending or revoking the security clearances of agents it believes hold conservative political views.
The new whistleblower's allegations surfaced Tuesday in correspondence obtained by "Just the News" that was sent to the House and Senate Judiciary committees and DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, dramatically claiming that as a supervisory special agent he witnessed efforts by senior FBI brass to target employees who supported Donald Trump or opposed COVID-19 vaccines.
"If an FBI employee fit a certain profile as a political conservative, they were viewed as security concerns and unworthy to work at the FBI," the whistleblower's lawyer, Empower Oversight President Tristan Leavitt, wrote Horowitz in requesting an independent investigation.
The supervisory special agent, a registered Democrat whose name was redacted from the letters, was in charge of security clearance reviews for all FBI employees on the East Coast and alleged that other agents involved in the process also share his concerns that FBI leadership has been improperly applying a political litmus test to the question of whether employees get their top secret clearance re-approved.
The agent alleged he and other agents who voiced concerns were retaliated against with transfers or suspensions, the letter states.
FBI's internal affair unit "have already been made aware of reprisal by the same SecD officials for the same reasons against other SecD employees," the letter to Horowitz stated. "In light of SecD’s pattern of abuse of the security clearance process and retaliation against SecD employees who try to stop that abuse."
The FBI told Just the News on Tuesday that it had no comment on the whistleblower's complaint.

It’s impossible to prove a pattern when there’s only three of them.
Pretty soon, an FBI agent who is not a card-carrying member of the Communist Party will have his security clearance revoked.
Sen. Joe McCarthy is spinning in his grave.
The FBI has been dangerously inbred for more than a generation.
can’t WAIT for the day the proverbial “political pendulum” swings as far to the right as it has to the Left. seems obvious that the rank and file, typical left-leaning
liberal doesn’t really understand just how far commie-socialist their party leaders have gone. “IF you are warned but pull out in traffic anyway and get CLOCKED, whos fault is it? conservatives accept blame while liberals ALWAYS blame someone else. most of you people already know this is truth. the difference between a conservative and a liberal is the willingness to place the blame where it belongs.
Goggle is beyond useless.
This one seems to be far less biased.

Actually a little shocked an FBI supervisor with some integrity wasn’t weeded out by now.

You beat me to it.
Just further preparation for aother coup this election.
Expand Homeland Security to fill the role BUT banish them from DC, and HQ them regionally in red states like TX, FL, IN, etc.
Day One: Trump needs to burn down the FBI and rebuild it from the bottom up.
Probably in the military too. Building a fifth column is for only one reason.
Is there any legal precedent for the FBI to be administering a lie detector test to become a field agent?
I say this because it is a requirement to pass the lie detector test.
If Donald Trump is elected again, I would ask him to seek lie detector tests for all curtain Federal employees and see if it flys in the courts.
They always name the whistle-blower, but the FBI miscreant? Never. NAME THE SONOFABIICH!
Agents probably got caught red-handed with a copy of the Federalist Papers.
The military used to be patriotic but now you have many people refusing to join the military. So that leaves the immigrants and the females.
A political test to work in a police agency? Doesnt get any more un constitutional and banana republic than that.
They want war. I guess they think they can win.
DC needs to be shut down. The City State has grown into a Fascist Tyranny.
I can sense the burning of documents in throughout DC right now. Much like Berlin in April 1945.
Yet this guy…who falsified an email from the CIA, submitted it to a judge in order to get a warrant to spy on a sitting President..only gets a suspension. https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/ex-fbi-lawyer-agrees-one-year-bar-sanction-after-conviction-2021-06-28/
No, there are more and the numbers are growing. Product of seeing their friends crushed for resisting the corruption.
