ORIGINAL: BoscoX Firing whistleblowers - it's a cult thing. Except... These are disgruntled employees who betrayed their oath of office. “Very serious wrongdoing”: Expert says FBI just pulled the “rug out from under” Jordan’s witnesses From the link... The FBI has suspended Allen, Friend and Gloss while it investigates their cases, according to congressional investigators. Friend's top-secret clearance was revoked on Tuesday after the 12-year FBI employee refused to participate in the SWAT arrest of a Jan. 6 suspect facing misdemeanor charges last summer over concerns that the raid would be an excessive use of force. "I have an oath to uphold the Constitution," Friend told his supervisors when he declined to join the Aug. 24, 2021, operation in Jacksonville, Fla. "I have a moral objection and want to be considered a conscientious objector." According to records from the Department of Justice, Tyler Bensch, who was accused of being a member of a right-wing militia group connected to the Three Percenter movement, was the suspect arrested in Jacksonville on Aug. 24. Friend reportedly omitted details about Bensch when refusing to participate in the raid, neglecting case documents that say Bensch posted a video of himself outside the Capitol on Jan. 6 in body armor and a gas mask with an AR-15 style rifle, and that witnesses had seen Bensch carrying a similar weapon at other times. The letter said that Friend "espoused an alternative narrative about the events at the U.S. Capitol" while conferring with his supervisors about his refusal. It also noted that he had downloaded files from FBI computers to an unauthorized flash drive but didn't specify which kinds of documents they were. Gloss' security clearance was revoked two weeks ago due to the FBI's determination that he violated a federal law against entering a restricted area of Capitol grounds while marching with a pro-Trump mob during the Jan. 6 attack. The bureau also found that Gloss had provided "false and/or misleading information" about what he witnessed and whether he was in the restricted area that day, and that he failed to report his presence near the Capitol despite one of his supervisors advising him to do so, according to the letter. Gloss has not been charged with any crimes and denies the claims. However, his statements contradict images he took on Jan. 6 and publicly shared videos of the insurrection, the letter said. "Mr. Gloss's refusal to provide full, frank and truthful answers to lawful questions of security officials in connection with a personnel security or trustworthiness determination should result in an adverse clearance action," it said. If ANYONE with a security clearance behaved this way, his/her security clearance would be removed immediately. (As these childish losers' were) These are criminals, traitors, and spoiled children. Not even close to whistleblowers.
