Democrat questions FBI agent on anti-Pelosi tweet, but faces issue. Watch now.

House Democrat Falsely Accuses FBI Whistleblower of Tweeting About Pelosi’s Role in January 6 Insurrection

During a recent hearing of the House’s Weaponization of the Federal Government Subcommittee, Rep. Linda Sánchez (D., Calif.) wrongly accused FBI staff operations specialist Marcus Allen of posting a tweet that claimed Nancy Pelosi staged the January 6 insurrection. Despite Allen’s denial, Sánchez persisted with her line of questioning, causing frustration for the whistleblower.

Blunders Continue for Democrats on the Weaponization Subcommittee

This is just the latest in a series of missteps for Democrats on the weaponization subcommittee. Last month, Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett (D., V.I.) threatened journalist Matt Taibbi with jail time over his testimony about Twitter’s interactions with the FBI and other agencies. Plaskett falsely accused Taibbi of lying about the social media giant’s relationship with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

Whistleblower Accuses FBI of Targeting Conservative Groups

Allen, an Iraq War veteran, testified at the subcommittee hearing alongside two other FBI whistleblowers who have accused the bureau of targeting conservative groups. Allen said he faced retaliation at the FBI and was accused of disloyalty to the United States for allegedly promoting “conspiratorial views” about January 6. Allen said he “questioned the official narrative” of the events that day, but condemned “all criminal activity” during the insurrection.

Key Takeaways:

• Rep. Linda Sánchez (D., Calif.) falsely accused FBI whistleblower Marcus Allen of posting a tweet about Nancy Pelosi’s role in the January 6 insurrection.
• Democrats on the weaponization subcommittee have made several missteps, including threatening a journalist with jail time.
• Allen and two other FBI whistleblowers have accused the bureau of targeting conservative groups.
