To review: @FBI employees like Andy McCabe, Peter Stzrok, and Lisa Page abused their positions of public trust. @TheJusticeDept rewarded them all with cash payouts. 🧵
cnn.com/2024/05/28/pol…
Meanwhile, @GOBactual is indefinitely suspended and UNPAID for 21 months after making protected whistleblower disclosures. The FBI seized his household goods (including his children's winter coats) in an effort to financially devastate him.
Other whistleblowers at the @FBI have come forward to reveal the agency concluded that O'Boyle did not commit the alleged offenses used to suspend his clearance. But instead of reinstating him- the FBI reassigned or suspended those other, honest employees.
The @Weaponization subcommittee took Garret's public testimony, but has yet to utilize the power of the purse to reinstate him to duty or make him financially whole. The committee's proposed legislation for whistleblowing would not impact Garret's predicament at all.
The @JusticeOIG investigated and determined that the @FBI likely retaliated against @GOBactual and others for protected whistleblowing activity. However, the OIG's laughable "recommendation" is that future whistleblowers remain unpaid for 12 months before filing a complaint.
So almost a decade into total @FBI weaponization: Evildoers like McCabe, Stzrok, and Page received payoffs. @HouseGOP fully funded the FBI and gave them a new HQ building. And brave, honest men like @GOBactual are left in the cold.

A banana republic... if you can keep it.

During today's Senate Judiciary hearing, @FBI Director Chris Wray spoke about the "AGAAVE." That's an Anti-Government Anti-Authority Violent Extremist. But what is that, really? 🧵
The FBI and DHS authored this Strategic Intelligence Assessment and Data on Domestic Terrorism in May 2021. Image
The document defines AGAAVE as "unlawful use of threat of force or violence in furtherance of ideological agendas, derived from anti-government or anti-authority sentiment." Image

Glad to see @Newsweek reporting that everything I blew the whistle about is accurate. The @FBI used January 6th to manipulate and artificially boost its domestic terrorism stats.
newsweek.com/2023/10/13/exc…
"While the number of investigations in 2021 almost doubled from 2020 to around 9,000, the number of "full investigations" that led to arrests was only 1,446, not much more than the number of 1,146 January 6 protesters who have been charged with a crime"
I submitted a written declaration to various Congressmen, Senators, OIG, and OSC offices. The @FBI circumvented whistleblower protection laws and I was constructively terminated in retaliation.

An "impeachment inquiry" is a total ploy 🧵
Just because it contains the word "impeachment," doesn't mean @POTUS is on the hook for actual removal from office. It just affords @HouseGOP expedited subpoena power.
.@SpeakerMcCarthy will use the concept of an impeachment inquiry to justify forfeiting across the board on the budget fight and pass a CR.

Re: Israeli-Palestinian relations, Bibi Netanyahu says if Palestinians laid down their arms, there would be peace. If Israel laid down its arms, there would be no Israel. That's why Israel always retaliates when they are attacked. 🧵
Netanyahu's logic holds true for American politics. Instead of exercising its power and retaliating against an out-of-control Democratic party, the @GOP reliably lays down its arms and rolls over. Until the Republicans recognize battlefield conditions, they will continue to lose.
This is difficult because most people have a libertarian default setting. Most of us want to live and let live. Unfortunately, the American left is given over to a radical ideology: "That which is not banned is required. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile."

Looking forward to tomorrow with @Weaponization. I will inform the members how the @FBI is exploiting security clearance suspension processes to punish whistleblowers. That being said, I do have a couple notes about FBI employees currently holding valid clearances 🧵
Should government employees hold top secret security clearances if they require guidance and aid from a government funded “well being and resilience program?” Image
Next week @FBI personnel can take “Mindfulness Lessons” and learn how to “Cultivate Friendships Even When You Don’t Trust People.” After the #DurhamReport, I’m betting there are many within the FBI with trust issues. Image

The @FBI is reporting the number of domestic terrorism investigations has quadrupled since 2013. Interesting how the FBI implemented Integrated Program Management to measure it's "success" around this time. 🧵gao.gov/blog/rising-th…
IPM incentivizes quantity over quality. The @FBI wants to tell Congress how awesome they are to guarantee bigger budgets. Managers want to promote. Senior Executive Service employees want their cash bonuses- which are based on IPM metrics achievement.
The current political class is demanding domestic terrorism stats to support a false narrative that violent white supremacy and antigovernment extremism is on the rise. The @FBI is all-to-happy to oblige. Unfortunately for those in on the scam, the demand for DT outstrips supply.
