The agency informed lawmakers in a letter on Wednesday that the security clearances of Marcus Allen, Stephen Friend, and Brett Gloss have been revoked. The agents have also been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rabbis-college-diversity-officers-promoting-irrational-hatred-of-jews\/\" title=\"Rabbis: College Diversity Officers Promoting \u2018Irrational Hatred of Jews\u2019\">suspended pending review<\/a> of their cases.<\/p>\n<h3>Allegiance to the United States Questioned<\/h3>\n<p>The actions of the agents reportedly raised concerns about their &#8220;allegiance to the United States,&#8221; according to the letter obtained by the New York Times. The letter was submitted a day before two of the agents were set to testify in front of the House Judiciary subcommittee investigating the \u201cweaponization\u201d of the federal government.<\/p>\n<h3>Details of the Agents&#8217; Involvement<\/h3>\n<p>Gloss had his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/zarif-had-no-knowledge-of-israeli-strikes-until-kerry-told-him-translation-reveals\/\" title=\"Zarif Had No Knowledge of Israeli Strikes Until Kerry Told Him, Translation Reveals\">security clearance revoked<\/a> two weeks ago for allegedly being in a restricted area of the Capitol grounds on the day of the attack, lying about being in a restricted area, and giving false or misleading information about what he saw. The letter stated that Gloss&#8217;s refusal to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gun-control-loving-democrats-should-be-calling-for-hunter-bidens-prosecution\/\" title=\"Gun Control-Loving Democrats Should Be Calling For Hunter Biden\u2019s Prosecution\">provide truthful answers<\/a> should result in an adverse clearance action.<\/p>\n<p>Allen had his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fbi-agents-lose-security-clearances-ahead-of-congressional-testimony\/\" title=\"FBI agents lose clearance before testifying to Congress.\">top-secret security clearance revoked<\/a> after expressing sympathy for persons or organizations that advocate, threaten, or use force or violence. He allegedly sent emails from his work account to warn colleagues to be careful with investigative inquiries or leads related to the riot. Allen also failed to provide relevant information to other agents investigating the riot about people who allegedly took part in the attack.<\/p>\n<p>Friend had his clearance revoked on Tuesday for refusing to take part in a SWAT raid at the home of a protester last summer, arguing it was an excessive use of force. He also downloaded documents from an FBI computer system to a removable flash drive last September, but it is unclear what the documents were.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>The FBI&#8217;s actions against these agents demonstrate the agency&#8217;s commitment to upholding the law and maintaining the trust of the American people. It is important that those who are entrusted with protecting our nation are held to the highest standards of integrity and loyalty.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/fbi-revokes-security-clearances-of-agents-involved-in-capitol-riot\">The Washington Examiner<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The FBI has withdrawn the security clearances of three agents due to their involvement in the Capitol riot.
