Forcing employees to rat out their co-workers for expressing political opinions the bosses don't like is unAmerican.
Full letter to @JusticeOIG and documents are available here: empr.me/FBISecDQs
Image
Example of one of the FBI SecD interview outlines probing our client's co-workers for his views on Trump and the COVID-19 vaccine. Image
Why do bureaucrats in FBI SecD think they have a license to purge employees with political opinions they don't like?

Maybe this is why:

Just the Deputy Director telling FBI leaders that dissent on #J6 issues should be crushed. empr.me/AbbateAff

More context / background via @KerryPicket:

washingtontimes.com/news/2023/nov/…
@KerryPicket That @FBI denial doesn’t hold up very well now that we caught them literally asking employees to rat out who their coworkers supported for President and what they thought of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Image
Image
@KerryPicket @FBI The @JusticeOIG and Congress need to ensure that the officials responsible for the gross interrogations FBI SecD conducted into our client’s political views are held accountable.

Here, according to Picket’s reporting, is a good place to start looking.

1. Few saw the historical significance of this issue when it first surfaced publicly last year. Bravo to @ProfMJCleveland, @mtaibbi, @LovelaceRyanD, and all those who won't let it go.

Hoover's DNA still infects the FBI.

This is his secret files—all over again. ⬇️🧵
2. J. Edgar Hoover's kept secret files to hide illegal FBI operations and dossiers collected for leverage and blackmail.

He had the P&C files destroyed and had a "Do Not File" procedure to hide key evidence of the FBI's wrongdoing. Image

Why do supposedly professional investigators make snap judgments about what to pursue (Steele Dossier) v. what not to pursue (Clinton E-Mail probe/Clinton Plan Intel)?

It's not the Federal Bureau of Gut Feelings or What Feels True.

How about investigating stuff? Try that.

🚨 New Filing:

Our appeal of Judge Boasberg's order keeping secret the DOJ's arguments for hiding its collection of my and my Capitol Hill colleagues communications records a secret for more than six years—even after the probe that supposedly justified it was closed. Image
DOJ attorneys targeted the communications records of attorneys for the oversight committees in Congress probing DOJ's misconduct in the Carter Page FISA application. Image
We argue that the Judge Boasberg failed to apply the proper standard.

He improperly characterized these judicial gag order applications, which are governed by statute, as "ancillary grand jury materials" under 6(e).

But DOJ submitted these filings to a court, not a grand jury. Image

🆕 Filing on behalf of FBI whistleblower @GOBactual, seeking full restoration of his security clearance. Highlights: 🧵⬇️ Image
We outline 18 legally protected whistleblower disclosures @GOBactual made.

Many were to Congress and already got lots of public attention. But look at #17.

It was an internal report, not on a high-profile politically charged issue.

But was it the catalyst for what came next? Image
@GOBactual An ambush criminal interview, followed by stranding his family without their belongings and blowing up his life in the middle of a cross country move?

This feels like more than just typical FBI CYA on something politically embarrassing.

This feels personal. Image

🚨New 83-page Filing at the @USMSPB

How about some justice for the IRS Whistleblowers at long last? 🧵⬇️ Image
Proven high performers before they blew the whistle on the @TheJusticeDept taking a dive in the Hunter Biden case.

Everything changed. Isolated. Frozen out of career advancement. Scrutinized relentlessly, looking for anything to hang them with. Work life became hell. Image
The double standard was there from the very beginning. Just to open the case, the bar was higher "for a political family like" the Bidens.

The protected disclosures internally within the IRS started from the very beginning too. Image

The FBI's recent pearl-clutching "purge" narrative is bizarro world backwards. Its purge targeted our clients long ago, and they still suffer.

When you know their stories, holding the culprits accountable is no purge; it's a little overdue justice.

3/🧵Don't just take our word for it. We provided ample evidence to Congress about weaponization of the security clearance process to target the employees for political beliefs rather than legit security risks. The @JusticeOIG has testified about it. Image
