FBI Revokes Security Clearances From Whistleblowers Ahead Of Congressional Testimony

2023-05-22

[Daily Caller] The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) revoked the security clearances of two whistleblowers ahead of their Congressional testimony regarding alleged abuses within the agency, the acting assistant director of the FBI revealed to the subcommittee chairman, Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan.

Christopher Dunham responded to a subpoena from the Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government regarding the revoked clearances of former FBI agents and whistleblowers, claiming the two violated multiple rules and guidelines leading to the loss of their clearances, The Washington Post reported. Friend and Allen

... Steve Friend, a former FBI special agent, and Marcus Allen, an FBI analyst working out of the FBI’s Charlotte, North Carolina, field office ...

have maintained that the loss of their clearances was an act of retaliation for speaking out, in part, over the FBI’s investigation into the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.
So essentially they've all been FIRED. Maintaining a security clearance is a condition of employment.

#7 It's very clear that the senior management of the FBI, CIA, DHS, and many other federal agencies need to end up in a noose or imprisoned until the heat death of the universe for their many crimes against the American people. It is my fervent hope that they each receive the Karma they so richly deserve.

#6 They will be kept in a floating category of whistle-blower purdah, technically employed but lacking clearance, so they can never return to the Bureau, and their colleagues are chilled about association with them in any way, preventing sharing anything since they lack clearance.

Most importantly, this is a brazen intimidation tactic, essentially telling the rank and file agents and first line supervisory agents, its career terminal to reveal anything unsanctioned by senior leadership.

#5 ^ That's it right there. Even the always opitimistic Mrs Mundi yesterday had to acknowledge that we are entirely a lawless country. The "Law" now is simply anything that gives cover and succor to the machinations of the marxists.
