Version: 4.0.47--><h2>Breaking News: FBI Agents Suspended Over Capitol Incursion<\/h2>\n<p>The House Judiciary Committee and its subcommittee on the weaponization of the federal government released an interim report Thursday revealing that at least three FBI agents were either suspended or had their security clearances revoked over the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol incursion.<\/p>\n<p>The report said the bureau \u201cweaponized the security clearance adjudication process to silence employees who fight against the politicized \u2018rot\u2019 within the FBI leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The interim staff report includes new whistleblower testimony from current and former FBI agents.<\/p>\n<h3>Whistleblower Testimony Highlights FBI Corruption<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cThe disclosures from these FBI employees highlight egregious abuse, misallocation of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/oregon-governor-encourages-people-to-call-police-on-neighbors-violating-covid-orders\/\" title=\"Oregon Governor Encourages People To Call Police On Neighbors Violating COVID Orders\">law enforcement resources<\/a> and misconduct with the leadership ranks of the FBI,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n<p>It said three agents \u2014 Marcus Allen, Stephen Friend and Brett Gloss \u2014 had been suspended while their cases were reviewed.<\/p>\n<p>According to ABC News, Friend and Allen were expected to testify Thursday before the weaponization subcommittee as part of its probe into the federal government\u2019s targeting of conservatives.<\/p>\n<p>The interim report said the FBI whistleblowers \u201cdescribed retaliatory conduct that they have faced after making protected disclosures about what they believed in good faith to be wrong conduct.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>FBI Suspends Agents Over Alternative Narratives<\/h3>\n<p>In a letter obtained by Fox News and sent from the FBI to Republicans and Democrats on the Judiciary Committee, the FBI explained why it suspended Friend and Allen.<\/p>\n<p>The bureau said Friend \u201crefused to participate in the execution of a court authorized, search and arrest of a criminal subject\u201d in August 2022.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring his communications with his management about his refusal to participate, he espoused an alternative narrative about the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021,\u201d the letter said.<\/p>\n<p>It also said Friend \u201cparticipated in multiple, unapproved media interviews, including an interview with a Russian government news agency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Allen\u2019s suspension, according to the letter, occurred because the FBI found he \u201cespoused alternative theories to coworkers verbally and in emails and instant messages sent on the FBI systems, in apparent attempts to hinder investigative activity.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Questions Raised Over FBI\u2019s Motives<\/h3>\n<p>The timing of their suspensions and the revocation of their security clearance have made many doubt the truth behind the FBI\u2019s statements.<\/p>\n<p>Fox News reported that Friend\u2019s clearance was withdrawn Tuesday \u2014 two days before his scheduled appearance at the subcommittee hearing \u2014 and Allen\u2019s was rescinded May 3.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a last minute Hail Mary from the FBI in a desperate attempt to salvage their reputation \u2026 before brave whistleblowers testify about the agency\u2019s politicized behavior and retaliation against anyone who dares speak out,\u201d Russell Dye, a spokesman for House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, told ABC News.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion: FBI Leadership Weaponizes Federal Law Enforcement<\/h3>\n<p>In his opening statement Thursday, Jordan said, \u201cToday it\u2019s not just presidential campaigns. Today it\u2019s the American people \u2014 they\u2019re the target.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re not politically correct, you\u2019re not in line with what they think should be the political position, the proper position, you\u2019re the target,\u201d the Ohio Republican said.<\/p>\n<p>In its conclusion, the interim report said, \u201cThe leadership at the FBI and Justice Department have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-judiciary-republicans-fbi-waited-over-a-year-to-fully-investigate-jan-6-pipe-bombs\/\" title=\"House Judiciary Republicans: FBI Waited Over a Year to Fully Investigate Jan. 6 Pipe Bombs\">weaponized federal law enforcement<\/a> against everyday Americans, seeking to silence those who dare to have a different viewpoint.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMeanwhile, whistleblower testimony highlights that the FBI\u2019s partisan leadership is currently engaging in a \u2018purge\u2019 of agents who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-report-reveals-what-fbi-did-to-employees-who-spoke-out-against-politicized-rot\/\" title=\"FBI punished employees who spoke out against 'politicized rot': House report.\">hold conservative political beliefs<\/a>,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe agency\u2019s attacks on bold agents must cease,\u201d the report said, \u201cand this Committee and Select Subcommittee will consider legislation aimed to curb such attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Tags:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Capitol incursion<\/li>\n<li>Conservatives<\/li>\n<li>Corruption<\/li>\n<li>Department of Justice DOJ<\/li>\n<li>FBI<\/li>\n<li>House of Representatives<\/li>\n<li>Investigation<\/li>\n<li>Jim Jordan<\/li>\n<li>Politics<\/li>\n<li>Republicans<\/li>\n<li>US news<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The House Judiciary Committee and its subcommittee on the weaponization of the federal government released an interim report revealing that three FBI agents had their security clearances revoked or were suspended over the Jan. incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2009,"featured_media":1933854,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[548],"tags":[5183,5591,3653,7943,6556,3819,16350,14417],"class_list":["post-1933853","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-conservative-news-daily","tag-employees","tag-fbi","tag-house","tag-politicized","tag-punished","tag-report","tag-rot","tag-spoke"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1933853","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2009"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1933853"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1933853\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1933854"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1933853"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1933853"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1933853"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
