Whistleblower: FBI Threatened to Fire Employees Who Questioned Different Treatment of BLM Riots and Jan. 6
We covered some of the riveting testimony from FBI whistleblowers last month, revealing bias and the politicization of the FBI. This was on top of a long list of things that the whistleblowers have already revealed at that point.
Now, another whistleblower has come forward with some concerning news about how the FBI was dealing with the investigation into Jan. 6 compared to other riots. We’ve touched on this before, with a whistleblower saying it was handled differently.
According to an affidavit from that whistleblower that went to the House Judiciary Committee, the Senate Judiciary Committee, the Senate Whistleblower Protection Caucus, and the Justice Department’s Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz, the FBI employee said that Deputy Director Paul Abbate threatened to fire agents and other bureau employees who questioned the differences in response to the U.S. Capitol riot in 2021 and the George Floyd riots in 2020.

The whistleblower said that Abbate claimed they were applying the appropriate resources in each matter the secure teleconference, known as a Director SVTC.
According to the affidavit, Mr. Abbate said that if an FBI agent did not agree with management’s view of the response, the agent should call him personally, and he would set them straight.
“I have witnessed hundreds of Director SVTCs and have never seen a direct threat like that any other time. It was chilling and personal, communicating clearly that there would be consequences for anyone that questioned his direction,” the whistleblower said.
Mr. Leavitt said in his letter to congressional lawmakers and Mr. Horowitz that “Abbate’s threat to employees was witnessed by numerous other FBI employees and constitutes evidence of intent to retaliate against any dissent. … This evidence can be independently corroborated by dozens, if not hundreds, of other FBI employees.”
The FBI issued a statement defending Abbate, saying that he’s always treated employees with “dignity, compassion, and respect.”“Employees are free to take any concerns they have to FBI leaders, including the Deputy Director. Any suggestion Deputy Abbate threatened employees who disagreed about the handling of January 6 cases is categorically false,” they said in the statement.
But according to the whistleblower’s attorney people did lose their jobs.

But the report looks at Portland with the constant attack on the federal courthouse as well as on other federal facilities.
In Portland, Oregon, which suffered nightly riots for several weeks, the rioters received significant leniency. Federal officials regularly accepted deals that dropped charges as long as someone completed community service, according to a Washington Times review of court records.
The Portland violence in 2020 included protesters blinding officers with lasers, battering police with hammers, bats and bottles, and hurling Molotov cocktails at police and the federal courthouse.
One man who fired a gun at the courthouse on the evening of Jan. 8, 2021 — two days after the Capitol riots in Washington — escaped without a prison sentence and got five years’ probation.
We watched all this unroll as it was happening, and that was the big question while the riots were ongoing, how could they not figure out and lock up the same people who were involved in organizing the continual attack on the Portland courthouse day after day? That seemed to defy belief.Add one more thing to Congress’ long list of things to investigate now. But the only way this all has a chance of being addressed is by winning the White House and the Congress and cleaning house.
Commentary:
Good article and questions that need to be addressed. The DOJ/FSB and FBI/Stasi rats will never give Congress and te People an honest answer.
It’s refreshing to know that there are at least a few good men in the FBI. Real men.
Time to decapitate those agencies and fire the liars and traitors.
Only then can we begin to rebuild them back to protecting America, not leftist psychopathic DSA/Democrat politicians and their Butt kissing stooges in politics, the media, and academia.
Until heads roll, “Trust No One”.
People like Garland and Wray need to be indicted, tried and convicted for their criminality, violations of Law, the Constitution
America has lost the high regard, respect and need that it once had for both corrupt services of the DoJ and FBI.
