Full disclosure, they are sources, but if true...trouble is coming for more than Comey and McCabe.
FBI Agents Want Congress-Issued Subpoenas | The Daily Caller
Ahead of the release of the Department of Justice (DOJ) inspector general report on how the FBI handled the Clinton email investigation, TheDC spoke with DiGenova, a former Trump official who maintained contact with rank and file FBI agents and a counter-intelligence consultant who conducted an interview with an active special agent of the FBIs Washington Field Office (WFO).
TheDC independently confirmed the veracity of the consultants position and access, and reviewed detailed transcripts of his Q&A with the special agent, who requested the arrangement due to internal dragnets and fear of vicious retribution.
These agents prefer to be subpoenaed to becoming an official government whistleblower, since they fear political and professional backlash, the former Trump administration official explained to TheDC.
The subpoena is preferred, he said,
because when you are subpoenaed, Congress then pays
for your legal counsel and the subpoena protects [the agent] from any organizational retaliation
. they are on their own as whistleblowers, they get no legal protection and there will be organizational retaliation against them.
The special agent out of WFO alleged that rank and file FBI agents are fed up and desperately want action from the DOJ, according to the transcripts.
Every special agent I have spoken to in the Washington Field Office wants to see McCabe prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. They feel the same way about Comey, the special agent said, according to transcripts provided to TheDC.
The administrations are so politicized that any time a Special Agent comes forward as a whistleblower, they can expect to be thrown under the bus by leadership. Go against the Muslim Brotherhood, youre crushed. Go against the Clintons, youre crushed. The FBI has long been politicized to the detriment of national security and law enforcement.
The special agent added,
Activity that Congress is investigating is being stonewalled by leadership and rank-and-file FBI employees in the periphery are just doing their jobs. All Congress needs to do is subpoena involved personnel and they will tell you what they know. These are honest people. Leadership cannot stop anyone from responding to a subpoena. Those subpoenaed also get legal counsel provided by the government to represent them.
The former Trump administration official explained the problems at the bureau go beyond just two people.
They know that it wasnt just Comey and McCabe in this case. Thats too narrow a net to cast over these guys. Theres a much broader corruption that seeped into the seventh floor at the bureau.
