Bombshell allegations by FBI Special Agent Steve Friend contained in a whistleblower complaint filed late Wednesday with the Department of Justice inspector general reveal a politicized Washington, DC, FBI field office cooking the books to exaggerate the threat of domestic terrorism, and using an “overzealous” January 6 investigation to harass conservative Americans and violate their constitutional rights.
Friend, 37, a respected 12-year veteran of the FBI and a SWAT-team member, was suspended Monday, stripped of his gun and badge, and escorted out of the FBI field office in Daytona Beach, Fla., after complaining to his supervisors about the violations.

(sigh) Even Miranda: "Bombshell". Very disheartening.

Every federal employee has to go through mandatory annual whistleblower rights training. In it they list all the ways one can legally blow the whistle on wrongdoing and be protected from reprisals. Very few believe it. Its just more government lies designed to fill a square on a form and nothing more.

“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” ~ John Adams
We did not have to be religious, but we did have to have a moral compass. Clearly, far too many individuals have abandoned both. Hence, we find ourselves with a government that punishes anyone who stands against their lawlessness. The DOJ and FBI are rogue agencies focused on protecting the deep state by any means possible. Justice was abandoned long ago in favor of using the power of these agencies to crush any opposition and move forward the democrat agenda. How can you possibly expect justice when the two agencies tasked to provide it are biased partisans? The hubris of this administration in the way they conduct themselves can only come from their complete assurance that they will retain the power they currently hold. They do not fear the consequences of their actions because they believe they are untouchable. Right now, can you argue otherwise? The wretched cabal of demons running this country right now fear nothing.

IF you don't agree to lie and go along with the dem/fbi/biden narrative your are screwed. This must stop. We are in need of a complete overhaul of the FBI. I think they have been doing this crap for decades, but has been covered up. All of this is because they hate Trump and his supporters. It's unreal, the level they are willing to go, they just get bolder and bolder as they go along.

Remember what happened to the Schutzstaffel and the Gestapo when they thought they could behave like the FBI is behaving now.

He would not have been suspended, stripped of his gun and badge and escorted out of the building if he were not telling the truth. Just imagine what else the FIB is hiding.

Post of the day, #11. I hope Hannity mentions that the next time he reports on the activities of the Democrat version of the KGB.

This galled me:
“ A week later, he was told to meet the top agent in Jacksonville, Special Agent in Charge Sherri Onks, who told him he needed to do some “soul searching” and decide if he wanted to work for the FBI.
When he told her “many of my colleagues expressed similar concerns to me but had not vocalized their objections to FBI executive management,” she told him his “views represented an extremely small minority of the FBI workforce.”
She then shared the emotional experience of fearing for her own life on Jan. 6, 2021, when she was sitting on the seventh floor of the secure J. Edgar Hoover Building, FBI headquarters, after protesters one mile away “seized the Capitol and threatened the United States’ democracy.”
Pure unadulterated B.S.!!!

Mark Levin had a recognition software firm systematically go through hundreds of thousands of ordinary FBI emails made public by the Inspector general. He reported expected number of pro-Hillary comments. But pro Trump? NOT ONE. No one would dare. It was like making an anti Stalin comment in the Soviet Union. So Hannity might be right. But no one dares admit anything let alone publicly.

Honest FBI agents who take the Constitution seriously are gotten rid of, in favor of more ethics-free leftist thugs who are willing to do anything ordered by the Deep State thugs in charge.

How do you get punished for whistle-blowing when they have whistle-blower rights training?
This guy should be rewarded by our side with a better job somewhere else.

FBI Special Agent Steve Friend should take over Wray's position in the command of the FBI. He has more integrity and moral compass then the whole lot of them at the top.

Federal employees who blow the whistle only get the protection afforded by federal law if they blow the whistle(s) on the "right" administration. Exposing the corruption and rot within a Dem Administration makes you Enemy #2 - enemy #1 being Trump.

He was declared absent without leave last month for refusing to participate in SWAT raids that he believed violated FBI policy and were a use of excessive force against Jan. 6 subjects accused of misdemeanor offenses.
This FBI guy should receive a medal for refusing to raid homes of Trump supporters! Where are the other Steve Friends??? Is he the only one that sees the injustice of the illegal raids on innocent American citizens?
So what Agent Friend has exposed is that for the most part, FBI Agents are paid goons!

Ummm... #2, it IS a bombshell. The trouble is that our side is 'shell shocked', while the other side is is impervious to bombs, since they know the detonations will have no effect whatsoever on their lives or their evil machinations.
What's more appalling than the widespread corruption and evil in the US today is the number of people who shrug their shoulders and don't FIND it appalling.

When PDT is back in charge he should take the opportunity of his first SOTU address to give Friend the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The added advantage of doing it there, as with Rush, is that the demonrats have to sit through the ceremony.

I had a fire-breathing post ready to go which I just erased. For the first time I am worried that a strong Trump-supporting post here could land me a visit from the FBI.
Does anyone doubt that there are D.C. operatives visiting "unfriendly" websites daily looking for dissidents that may require a visit.
I heard a bunch of citizens were recently "contacted" by the FBI due to their support of the former president. Then that story disappeared. Did I dream it?
America never used to be like this.
