The FBI revoked the security clearance of an employee after asking colleagues questionsβunder threat of disciplineβabout his support for former President Donald Trump and views on the COVID-19 vaccine, according to a complaint to the Justice Departmentβs internal watchdog.Β
The employee attended the rally on Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington before it turned into a riot, and reported his presence to the FBI the next day, according to the whistleblower advocacy group Empower Oversight, which issued a complaint to Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz on June 8, in a letter made public Monday night with the clientβs name blacked out.
The complaint comes on the heels of the FBI reinstating the security clearance of whistleblower Marcus Allen, a former FBI staff operations specialist, after allegations of politicized retaliation.Β
The 12-year employee also volunteered to an FBI polygraph, in which the Office of Inspector General found βno deceptionβ when he said he did not enter the Capitol or a restricted area.Β
In March 2022, then-FBI Executive Assistant Director Jennifer Leigh Moore suspended the employeeβs security clearance, and made an indefinite suspension without pay. The employee then made confidentiality protected disclosures to the House Judiciary Committee that alleged politicization of the security clearance process.Β
βThe FBI Security Division (βSecDβ) improperly pursued a broad, sweeping investigation into our clientβs political opinions, questioning other protected First Amendment activity and Second Amendment advocacy while off-duty,β Empowerment Oversight President Tristan Leavitt said in the cover letter of the complaint to Horowitiz, the inspector general.Β
Empower Oversight obtained the investigative files from the FBI. Leavitt said the βshocking documentsβ demonstrate the FBI Security Divisionβs βpolitical bias and abuse of the security clearance process to purge the FBI of employees who expressed disfavored political views or concerns about the COVID-19 vaccine requirement.β
The FBI sent the former employeeβs colleagues a questionnaire, asking such questions as whether the employee did βVocalize support for President Trump,β βVocalize objection to Covid-19 vaccination,β and βVocalize intent to attend 01/06/2021.β
βInstead of limiting its investigation to legitimate issues, SecD [the FBIβs Security Division] acted as if support for President Trump, objecting to COVID-19 vaccinations, or lawfully attending a protest was the equivalent of being a member of Al Qaeda or the Chinese Communist Party,β the Empower Oversight complaint to the inspector general says. βThe FBlβs intentions are made clear by the questions it chose to put in black and white on a government document.βΒ Β
Whistleblowers and former FBI agents have come forward with stories about the FBI focusing on pro-life protesters, developing a βthreat tagβ to monitor parents who spoke up at school board meetings, and relying on the Southern Poverty Law Center, a far-left organization that brands mainstream conservative and Christian organizations βhate groups,β putting them on a map with the Ku Klux Klan.
The FBIβs Richmond office cited the SPLC in targeting βradical traditional Catholicsβ for surveillance in a memo last January, before the national office officially rescinded the memo. The Justice Department took a briefing with the SPLC when it released a βhateβ report in 2023.
According to documents obtained by The Heritage Foundationβs Oversight Project, FBI agents worked about 16,000 more hours during the pay period after the Capitol riot of Jan. 6, 2021, than they did during the pay period of the 2020 riots in Washington, D.C.
The Daily Signal reached out to the FBI Monday evening for comment. The FBI responded βwe donβt have any comment,β in an email just before noon on Tuesday after the story was initially published.
