A Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent who was forced out for refusing to sign off on a warrant into a right-wing “domestic extremist group” has won a fight to unseal documents related to that case.

Zach Schoffstall, a former supervisory agent in the FBI’s Salt Lake City division, was forced out of the FBI during the Biden administration for not going after the Patriot Front organization, the Daily Caller previously reported.

Empower Oversight, a group that represents whistleblowers, filed a motion to request the government unseal the warrant. After 90 days, the government finally acquiesced and released the document, Schoffstall said. The only information redacted was the name of the supervisory agent.

Thirty-one members of the group Patriot Front were arrested after protesting an LGBT event in Idaho and charged with conspiracy to riot in 2022.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office (USAO) in Idaho and the FBI pressured Schoffstall to sign off on the warrant, but he refused. The government attempted to find agents who would comply, including one without knowledge of the investigation, he previously told the Caller.

Schoffstall pushed back, and it cost him his career.

Empower Oversight was set up by Sen. Grassley after being frustrated by Deep State abuse of whistle-blowers.

Guys like this can help the DOJ dig up the bodies, cause they know where they’re buried.

Those who deliberately withhld exculpatory evidence should be convicTed of conspiracy to deprive citizens of their rights. And all the involved lawyers should be disbarred.

"On Attorney General Pam Bondi’s first day in office, she established a Weaponization Working Group to investigate various cases of weaponization during the Biden Administration." The man who wrote the memo about going after the Catholic churches and school board meetings is still in the FBI and is pictured behind Kash during a news conference.
