🧵2. The @FBI has forced Marcus Allen's family to deplete their retirement savings by suspending him without pay for the last two years while it delays any resolution with every trick in the book.
Yanking his clearance violates PPD-19.
Yanking his paycheck violates 5 USC 2303.
🧵3. After the @FBI yanked his paycheck with no due process, Marcus asked to take another job while waiting for the FBI's security review.
@FBI ignored his request until it was too late and has also asserted the authority to stop his family from accepting charity.
🧵4. Why? It all starts with the @FBI Director Wray's testimony to the U.S. Senate, where he left the impression that the FBI had not infiltrated groups involved in the J6 Capitol riot.
🧵5. Mainstream outlets like the @nytimes raised doubts. So did @DarrenJBeattie, @RevolverNewsUSA. Marcus forwarded all these articles to his superiors @FBI and raised the issue to their attention, which was part of his job.
🧵6. His bosses called Marcus on the carpet. But one of them later admitted to @FBI Security Division (SecD) that Marcus "was likely influenced by his knowledge [Charlotte Field Office] did have a source at the Capitol, who was reporting as the events unfolded on January 6."
🧵7. Marcus is a decorated Marine combat veteran with excellent evaluations and a spotless record.
His bosses admitted his Qs were reasonable and raised no questions about his loyalty to the U.S.
Still, @FBI grasped at straws to smear him as "hostile" to the U.S. govt.
🧵8. @FBI thinks it can do whatever it wants as long as it uses the security clearance process as the pretext.
But, in this complaint, we are not challenging the security clearance decision itself (which still isn't final) but rather yanking his pay to pressure him financially.
🧵9. By denying his right to take other work and preventing from accepting charitable donations, the @FBI has put him in a box.
It's perfectly designed to force a resignation, so that the @FBI's unlawful retaliation gets swept under the rug.
Early in @GOBactual's 22-month suspension, the FBI determined through voice analysis he was not the source in a @Project_Veritas video, but the @FBI:
1. withheld that key fact from Congress, 2. kept O’Boyle in limbo without pay, and 3. recently revoked his clearance anyway on the eve of new congressional hearings.
Our @FBI Security Division (SecD) client, a registered Dem, is blowing the whistle on the cover-up of @GOBactual's innocence of the false charges used as pretext for yanking his clearance and paycheck.
@RepJerryNadler and @StaceyPlaskett tried to weaponized the false claims.
Our new court filing opposing @TheJusticeDept's effort to impose permanent secrecy on how it sought to hide the collection of my phone and email logs—along with the records a dozen other attorneys for oversight committees in Congress. ⬇️🧵 empowr.us/wp-content/upl…
1. Did @TheJusticeDept fail to alert the court the phone and email logs it sought belonged to Congressional oversight attorneys?
2. Did it also fail to alert the court that sought to renew the gag orders on @Google even after the leak probe that supposedly justified the subpoenas was closed?
How could gag orders possibly be justified long after the case is closed? It's reasonable to suspect it was to hide from the public the extent of its secret collection of Congressional communications records and the abuses committed in the process.
Unless the court unseals the records, you are not allowed to know.
Chairman Smith: “New documents provided by the whistleblowers show that Hunter Biden repeatedly lied to Congress in his February deposition to distance his involvement in what should be considered a clear scheme to enrich the Biden family.” gop-waysandmeans.house.gov/chairman-smith…
But the bottom line is that the @FBI is not following the law.
It built a bureaucratic box designed to force employees to resign by withholding their pay and any meaningful appeal rights until they have to choose between vindication and feeding their families.
