The FBI can never open an investigation based solely on protected First Amendment activity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">\u201cWe cannot and do not investigate ideology. We focus on individuals who commit or intend to commit violence and criminal activity that constitutes a federal crime or poses a threat to national security. The FBI\u2019s mission is to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution. One does not come at the expense of the other,\u201d the FBI statement said.<\/p>\n<h2>Other Details<\/h2>\n<p>On its website,\u00a0American Contingency says it is an organization that is meant to provide assistance during natural disasters and similar situations. It also says Glover is a former U.S. Army Green Beret.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMike Glover is a veteran doing good work out there, but some woke analyst at the FBI says, \u2018We\u2019re going to investigate this guy,&#8217;\u201d Jordan <a href=\"https:\/\/video.foxnews.com\/v\/6312329460112#sp=show-clips\">told<\/a> Fox News on Wednesday, adding that if \u201cyou display the flag, you own a gun, and you voted for Trump, you\u2019re somehow in that category that Joe Biden says are extremist or fascist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The GOP congressman also quoted the whistleblower in his letter to Wray in which the unnamed individual accuses an FBI employee of embracing leftist politics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt doesn\u2019t take a First Amendment scholar to realize what is protected speech and what isn\u2019t \u2026\u00a0 it seems clear that this is an instance where an FBI employee reported something because it didn\u2019t align with their own woke ideology,\u201d the whistleblower was quoted by Jordan as saying. \u201cI think this is a primary example of how woke and corrupt the FBI has become.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other whistleblowers have allegedly come <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/14-fbi-whistleblowers-have-come-forward-rep-jordan_4665530.html\">forward<\/a> to Jordan and other Republican senators, accusing the FBI\u2019s leadership of bias against former President Donald Trump and his supporters. Meanwhile, other whistleblowers have sounded the alarm\u00a0about a memo related to alleged violence and intimidation at school board meetings while others have expressed alarm over the agency\u2019s handling of the Jan. 6, 2021, investigation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"author_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"one_author_block round\">\n<div class=\"top_row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/author-jack-phillips\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2019\/06\/13\/Jack-Phillips.jpg\" alt=\"Jack Phillips\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"names\">\n<p>Breaking News Reporter<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Follow<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jack Phillips is a breaking news reporter at The Epoch Times based in New York.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
