FBI Suspends Whistleblower Who Criticized Bureau's Handling Of January 6 Investigations: Report
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
The FBI has suspended a whistleblower who pushed back against the bureau's handling of investigations related to the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, according to House Republicans.
"The FBI SUSPENDED a whistleblower for refusing to carry out the Bureau's politicized investigations," Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee said in a Twitter post Tuesday.

The post contained screenshots of a letter Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the top Republican on the committee, sent to FBI Director Christopher Wray the day before. The letter outlined allegations from an FBI whistleblower that the bureau has altered some of its processes to make domestic violent extremism (DVE) cases appear more prevalent throughout the U.S. than they are.
"The FBI's case categorization creates the illusion that threats from DVE are present in jurisdictions across the nation, when in reality they all stem from the same related investigation concerning the actions at the Capitol on January 6," the letter says. "Such an artificial case categorization scheme allows FBI leadership to misleadingly point to 'significant' increases in DVE threats nationwide."
A spokesman for Jordan's office told The Daily Wire that the FBI whistleblower whose allegations were detailed in the letter informed Jordan's office on Monday that the FBI had suspended him.
The whistleblower said that the FBI's Washington Field Office has directed FBI field offices across the United States to open up DVE investigations into "potential subjects" related to the January 6 riot. However, while another field office officially opens the case, the Washington Field Office maintains control of the investigation, performing and approving "all of the investigative work and paperwork for the casefile," the whistleblower said, according to Jordan's letter.
"This scheme allows you to continue to support on paper your assertion that '[t]he FBI is a field-based law enforcement organization, and the vast majority of our investigations should continue to be worked by our field offices,' while actually running the investigation from Washington," Jordan's letter said, quoting the whistleblower.
The whistleblower also alleged that the FBI was diverting resources from other investigative work to DVE cases. "The whistleblower recalled … being 'told that child sexual abuse material investigations were no longer an FBI priority and should be referred to local law enforcement agencies.'"

The far left's police force will be in the spotlight next year.
So far the FBI has been above the law.
funny how the FBI suddenly went all to hell with that trump appointee as director ...
He needed to pick someone outside the Department. My choice would have been Richard Allen Grenell.
Let us not forget that Michael Flynn originally intended to totally restructure the intelligence agencies and the FBI.
You need to pay attention. It went to hell LONG before that. Did you forget about the investigation into the Russia Collusion hoax?
Suddenly went all to hell?
You been living under a rock the last couple decades?
so the FBI finally hit rock bottom then, with a trump appointee?
They’ve been bouncing up and down off the bottom for years.
How easily you forget.
What are whistle blowers to expect when Garland has already stated the DOJ will violate the whistle blower law?
Garland needs to be impeached. It doesn't matter if Republicans only take the House. What Garland is doing needs to be exposed.
Agreed. Three more months and it will feel like the Nuremberg trials.
“Three more months and it will feel like the Nuremberg trials.”
As the business of government grinds to a halt in purely political retribution. Cannot imagine the hacks that will head the committees…a rogues gallery of conspiracy theorists, apologists, and cultural, religious separatists.
Oh, I know, Whenever the Republicans take power we hear about resisting political retribution.
NOT THIS TIME!
Democrats can STFU after everything they have put this country through for the last 6 years plus.
Democrats should be locked out of the process- just like Republicans were for the impeachment trials; and Jan 6th committee. Only those Dems subservient enough will be picked to serve by Republican heads.
As for the business of government- government has no business except for serving US citizens. It hasn't done that for a very long time.
Those of us not on the left will settle for Republicans putting an end to Democrat BS for the remainder of Brandon's term!
Political retribution is exactly what the Dems have done for 6 years.
Can't wait for the investigations into the China Joe crime family to begin.
Thank God for C-Span!
Right after they're done with the Hillary investigations? You've got her on the ropes, no time to stop now..../s
Where is that Trump indictment? Still waiting.
Democrats have no room to spout anything after the last 6 years plus.
It took less time to investigate 9-11.
Speaking of which. How is John Durham doing these days? Those indictments still right around the corner???
Funny you mention it, he does have a trial starting next month. Imagine being able to do an investigation and actually charge somebody with what the investigation was about. You know, kind of unlike the Russia Collusion Hoax, the partisan Jan 6 Committee...
One? That's it? After all this time? It took less time to investigate 9-11.
After he lost the one with Sussman, I thought he was done. But maybe he will have better luck with Danchenko.
It's more in that short time than the Democrats / left have had in, what, 7 years now? It starts with 1. But you wouldn't know about that with all the failures the Democrats have fed you.
If you're going to state a lie, at least make it harder to refute.
Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team indicted or got guilty pleas from 34 people and three companies during their lengthy investigation.
And the best part is that Mueller (lifelong republican), was working under Trump's own republican administration and appointed by Trump's republican AG.
All process crimes that had jack shit to do with Trump himself. FAIL.
Meuller's "indictments" were for everything EXCEPT what he was supposed to be looking into. They were "process indictments". Not for the hoax he was supposed to be looking into. But don't let that stop you spewing out talking points that Meuller's "investigation" already disproved.
And another falsehood told by the left. He was working for the Democrats in the midst of a massive temper tantrum that they lost the election. The claims made by the Democrats, were in fact true right up to the point of WHO was in contact with the Russians. Or did you forget that it was the Democrats that made the contact with them and ran with a hoax?
Just because you don't doesn't mean others don't.
Here. Just for you so you can know too.
You're welcome. Now, any of the indictments or prosecutions meet that criteria? You damned right. They all did.
Next??
Nope
Glad to hear it. Please let us know what deflection means.
Probably should have looked it up before spouting off......................
Um-hum
Ok, those are the only times the word should be used, not when somebody has made a valid point.
The last person who said that hasn't been heard from since the 15th.
You'll have to wait for the China-Justin investigation to wrap up first ... /s
Want some more migrants in Canada- we have more than enough for several countries.
Start filling us some of those wide open spaces.
I only wish I was being sarcastic.
I guess whistleblower laws are thrown out when it comes to exposing the left, Democrats and their gestapo.
