Bombshell: FBI supervisor alleges bureau improperly pulling conservative agents' security clearances

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.

Gee, I’m shocked, just shocked I tell you!

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

Isn’t that pretty much what the Deep State is doing to the military. Driving out the conservative members and keeping the “Yes Master” troops

Conversely, any one who was trying to weed anyone out for political reasons should themselves be weeded out. And then …

Perhaps President Trump 47 should issue an executive order changing the rules official name of the FBI to KGB to drive the point home.

Horowitz is Dem Deep State toad.

Horowitz said Strzok and Page did not let politics affect their work. Why?

He asked them and they told him they didn’t let it color their decisions. Horowitz also ran to Mueller and tipped him off several times, and he tied up the case for years to run out the clock.

For the first time ever, the IDs of those investigated and reported on had their IDs hidden, even to Congress.

I doubt there were any anti-communists in the Stasi, either.

"...the bureau has been improperly suspending or revoking the security clearances of agents it believes hold conservative political views."

That's what, like three agents?

It’s my belief that the deep state used United States Investigation services to install far left anti American types in every branch and at every level.

Years ago the background investigations regarding federal employee applications was privatized from an inner governmental agency/dept. known as the GAO (government accounting office) transferring its services to a shell corporation known as United States Investigation Services (U.S.I.S.)

When Blake Percival (turned whistle blower) was made aware of this, he alerted Congress, but Congress chose to drag their feet for nearly two years until two news worthy events caused the media to begin asking who performed the background checks of the individuals they questioned. Long story short, this eventually led to the exposure of nearly 700,000 fraudulent background checks/clearances. This was ultimately the largest whistleblower in U.S. history at the time.

Yet performing a Google search will prove futile as the powers that be have scrubbed the internet of nearly all mention of this. 😉

Meanwhile, our country is in peril because of those that remain in government despite having been hired by the federal government under fraudulent means of background checks. In other words....COMMUNISTS!!!!

There’s a war going on between the left and the right but only one of them is treating it seriously.

An organization like that will target members of Congress based on political alignment, for compromising them - leading to a total skew in the behavior of the government and laws.
