Whistleblower testimony in the House Judiciary Committee reveals the extent to which political capture has taken over the FBI and as a consequence of that political capture, Americans were targeted by a weaponized government who never should have been targeted.


Transcript

00:00:01.000 The embattled Congressman Matt Gaetz.
00:00:03.000 Matt Gaetz was one of the very few members in the entire Congress
00:00:06.000 who bothered to stand up against permanent Washington on behalf of his constituents.
00:00:10.000 Matt Gaetz right now, he's a problem in the Democratic Party.
00:00:13.000 He could cause a lot of hiccups in passing applause.
00:00:16.000 So we're going to keep running those stories to keep hurting him.
00:00:20.000 If you stand for the flag and kneel in prayer,
00:00:23.000 if you want to build America up and not burn her to the ground,
00:00:27.000 then welcome, my fellow patriots. You are in the right place.
00:00:31.000 This is the movement for you.
00:00:33.000 You ever watch this guy on television?
00:00:35.000 It's like a machine. Matt Gaetz.
00:00:38.000 I'm a canceled man in some corners of the internet.
00:00:41.000 Many days I'm a marked man in Congress, a wanted man by the deep state.
00:00:46.000 They aren't really coming for me. They're coming for you.
00:00:50.000 I'm just in the way.
00:00:52.000 Welcome back to Firebrain.
00:00:56.000 We're broadcasting live out of room 2021 of the Rayburn House Office Building
00:01:00.000 here on the Capitol Complex in Washington, D.C.
00:01:03.000 And it was whistleblower testimony day today in the House Judiciary Committee.
00:01:08.000 We had FBI whistleblowers with claims of misconduct and violations of the law
00:01:14.000 and retaliation, security clearances stripped, lives ruined, and lies exposed.
00:01:21.000 Lies that have been told by the media and the national security state.
00:01:25.000 And FBI Director Chris Ray, Mary on Getter, says,
00:01:28.000 where can I watch the whistleblower testimony?
00:01:31.000 Because she was working when it was going on earlier today.
00:01:34.000 And you have come to the right place because the purpose of this show
00:01:37.000 is to break down some of the game tape on what we learned,
00:01:42.000 what has been debunked from the mainstream narrative,
00:01:46.000 particularly regarding January 6th and the federal government's involvement.
00:01:50.000 You will not want to miss some of the clips that we're going to play.
00:01:53.000 So thank you for being with us.
00:01:55.000 Make sure if you are listening that you give us that five-star rating on Apple
00:02:00.000 or wherever you're listening, leave us a review.
00:02:02.000 And if you're watching live, make sure you're subscribed with notifications turned on.
00:02:06.000 That way you are always the first to know when we're rocking and rolling on key things here in the Congress.
00:02:11.000 So the principal objective of this hearing was to showcase the extent to which political capture has taken over the FBI.
00:02:22.000 And as a consequence of that political capture,
00:02:25.000 Americans were targeted by a weaponized government who never should have been targeted.
00:02:31.000 Traditional Catholics.
00:02:33.000 Parents who went to school board meetings to voice concern about curriculum.
00:02:38.000 People who were just in Washington, D.C. on January 6th committed no criminal offense,
00:02:43.000 but yet still found themselves in the FBI's crosshairs.
00:02:47.000 So I asked specific questions to these whistleblowers.
00:02:52.000 Steve Friend is one of the whistleblowers.
00:02:55.000 A FBI agent from Florida was working out of the Jacksonville field office.
00:03:01.000 Then we had Marcus Allen, who was an analyst for the FBI.
00:03:06.000 And Special Agent Garrett O'Boyle.
00:03:09.000 Those are the three principal whistleblowers that we had today.
00:03:12.000 Frankly, there were a lot more whistleblowers that we took testimony from and developed evidence from.
00:03:18.000 But after Democrats and the mainstream media tried to smear them, ruin their lives, dox their kids,
00:03:25.000 get their spouses fired from their work,
00:03:28.000 even some of the brave people who brought us important information do not want to sit before Congress.
00:03:34.000 So these three, I really, really appreciate their willingness to put themselves on the line to do what they know is right for their country.
00:03:41.000 And it's probably not a coincidence. They're all really strong Christians.
00:03:45.000 And there is a sense of durability with the Christian faith that we saw on display with these men.
00:03:51.000 So I want to play you this first clip.
00:03:53.000 This is five minutes I get focusing on the issues of targeting with Agent Friend
00:04:01.000 and then focusing on some of the retaliation issues with Agent O'Boyle. Take a listen.
00:04:06.000 So which Americans were being targeted?
00:04:12.000 Now, August 20, August 2, 2022, a media organization attained a copy of a document
00:04:18.000 which whistleblowers subsequently authenticated to the committee
00:04:21.000 that is styled the FBI's domestic terrorism symbols guide on militia violent extremists.
00:04:28.000 Mr. O'Boyle, are you generally familiar with that guide?
00:04:31.000 Yes.
00:04:32.000 And that guide identified certain things that made people more likely to be deemed a threat or terrorists, didn't it?
00:04:40.000 Yes.
00:04:41.000 And wasn't one of those things just the number 2 and the letter A next to each other?
00:04:46.000 Yes, it was.
00:04:47.000 And in your experience as a law enforcement official,
00:04:50.000 does putting the letter 2 and A next to each other make someone more likely to be violent or law-breaking?
00:04:56.000 No.
00:04:57.000 And if someone signified that they support the right to bear arms,
00:05:02.000 was that also something in the symbol guide?
00:05:04.000 Yes.
00:05:05.000 And how about, this one really got me, the Betsy Ross flag.
00:05:10.000 Was the Betsy Ross flag in the terrorism symbol guide?
00:05:14.000 It was.
00:05:15.000 And what about the Betsy Ross flag makes someone more likely to be a violent extremist?
00:05:22.000 I wish there was a reasonable explanation for that question.
00:05:25.000 There isn't.
00:05:26.000 And people blew the whistle and said this stuff is crazy.
00:05:29.000 Americans are being targeted.
00:05:30.000 Mr. Friend, you ever been to a school board meeting?
00:05:33.000 Yes, I have.
00:05:34.000 FBI ever sent you to the parking lot of a school board meeting?
00:05:36.000 Yes, they have.
00:05:37.000 And in the parking lot of a school board meeting where the FBI sent you, you were taking down information regarding people's license plates.
00:05:44.000 That's correct.
00:05:45.000 Now, it wasn't the first time you'd been to a school board meeting, was it?
00:05:47.000 No, I went on my own as a private citizen.
00:05:49.000 As a parent?
00:05:50.000 Yes.
00:05:51.000 And so there you were.
00:05:52.000 It must have been quite an interesting perspective.
00:05:54.000 There you were taking down the information of people, parents attending school board meetings on behest of the FBI.
00:06:01.000 And you had been one of those parents at a school board meeting.
00:06:04.000 How did that feel?
00:06:05.000 Well, after I attended privately, my colleagues teased me that they were probably going to start investigating me.
00:06:10.000 You used to go after the worst of the worst, didn't you?
00:06:15.000 Yes, I believe so.
00:06:16.000 You went after people who looked at child porn?
00:06:19.000 Yes.
00:06:20.000 People who were sexually exploiting children?
00:06:22.000 Yes.
00:06:23.000 And then you were in the parking lot of a school board meeting, taking down the information of parents.
00:06:29.000 What happened to the cases that you were working to protect our communities from the worst predators that exist?
00:06:36.000 I was told they were not to be resourced.
00:06:38.000 And then after I was suspended, they were handed off to local law enforcement.
00:06:43.000 Wow. So the FBI just decided it was more important to have you in that parking lot of that school board meeting than getting the worst of the worst away from people that they could harm.
00:06:53.000 That's correct.
00:06:54.000 That's correct.
00:06:55.000 But you deserve the consequences you are getting, according to the ranking member.
00:07:01.000 Mr. O'Boyle, the ranking member said that when people break the law, they deserve the consequences they get.
00:07:07.000 And it doesn't matter that they served in the military.
00:07:10.000 So what law did you break before the FBI packed up all your stuff and moved it across the country to Virginia?
00:07:17.000 No true law.
00:07:18.000 No true law.
00:07:19.000 The only thing I broke was not towing the line for the FBI.
00:07:23.000 Like I said when I opened, my oath is to the Constitution, not to the FBI.
00:07:28.000 And our laws provide you avenues to talk to Congress, to talk to your supervisors about those concerns, right?
00:07:34.000 Correct.
00:07:35.000 And so you didn't deviate from that, did you?
00:07:37.000 No.
00:07:38.000 No.
00:07:39.000 You didn't go to the media first, did you?
00:07:41.000 No.
00:07:42.000 You used what the law provided.
00:07:45.000 And your family has paid an exquisite price for that, haven't they?
00:07:49.000 They have.
00:07:50.000 How old were your children when they moved you across the country?
00:07:54.000 Six, five, three, and two weeks.
00:07:59.000 A two-week-old baby.
00:08:02.000 Could you get your stuff?
00:08:04.000 Six weeks later.
00:08:06.000 Oh, so for six weeks, almost every possession to your name the FBI had and wouldn't give back to you.
00:08:13.000 How did you, what time of year was it?
00:08:17.000 Was it winter, summer?
00:08:18.000 When I reported, it was in September.
00:08:21.000 So when we were traveling, it was summertime, essentially.
00:08:24.000 So we had basically summer clothes, but then we were basically stranded in Wisconsin, which is where we're from.
00:08:30.000 It gets cold there pretty quick.
00:08:32.000 Well, I'll take your word for it.
00:08:34.000 I'm a Florida man.
00:08:35.000 But what was it like when you had to go and explain to your wife that you didn't have coats for your children because the FBI wouldn't give them back to you?
00:08:44.000 It was horrible.
00:08:45.000 I mean, we were asking family for clothes and, excuse me, it was a difficult time.
00:09:00.000 Yeah, you became a charity case, didn't you?
00:09:03.000 I did.
00:09:04.000 And now I get derided for that.
00:09:06.000 I never thought I'd have to accept charity in my life.
00:09:09.000 I thought I would be able to take care of my family, but I'm grateful for everyone who has provided charity to me.
00:09:14.000 That even includes a former colleague's church.
00:09:17.000 I would name the church to give them recognition, but I'm too worried that the FBI would send informants to infiltrate that church as well.
00:09:24.000 Yeah, well, they've already done that with the Catholics.
00:09:26.000 I yield back.
00:09:29.000 We are back live.
00:09:31.000 Garrett O'Boyle was powerful and emotional and earnest and honest.
00:09:35.000 And in a moment, we're going to get to how these whistleblowers were treated by House Democrats.
00:09:41.000 But first, Ed on Rumble says, save these whistleblowers.
00:09:44.000 I thought they did a terrific job.
00:09:46.000 And it is an intimidating thing to sit before the United States Congress and answer questions.
00:09:50.000 If it's not something you've been trained to do or familiar with, I thought they were exceptional.
00:09:55.000 Cheryl on Facebook says the FBI has been weaponized.
00:09:59.000 Totally agree on that front.
00:10:01.000 And Patriot Mom on Getter wants to know why our domestic terrorism law enforcement assets are not being directed at Antifa and BLM
00:10:11.000 and are instead directed at parents at school board meetings, traditional Catholics, anyone in Washington, D.C. on January 6th.
00:10:20.000 Wait till I get to the January 6th stuff.
00:10:22.000 You're not going to believe the revelations that we've been able to uncover.
00:10:26.000 But first, you have to see how some of these Democrats reacted to the raw, sincere, and I thought very effective testimony of our whistleblowers.
00:10:36.000 Linda Sanchez is a particularly odious member of the United States Congress.
00:10:40.000 She's a Democrat who, at the congressional baseball game, ran by the Republican dugout and flipped her middle finger to the Republicans.
00:10:51.000 At the congressional baseball game.
00:10:53.000 So, she decides to utilize her time in this whistleblower hearing to try to smear Marcus Allen, one of the whistleblowers, and it ends humiliatingly for her.
00:11:06.000 Take a listen.
00:11:10.000 Mr. Allen, have you ever used Twitter, yes or no?
00:11:14.000 I have utilized Twitter, yes ma'am.
00:11:16.000 And is your account at Marcus A97050645?
00:11:22.000 That is absolutely not my account.
00:11:24.000 Okay, that's not your account.
00:11:25.000 Well, on December 5th, 2022, an account under the name Marcus Allen retweeted a tweet that said...
00:11:32.000 That is not my account, ma'am.
00:11:34.000 You haven't let me finish the question, sir.
00:11:36.000 I might have been the football player.
00:11:37.000 You haven't let me finish the question.
00:11:39.000 And the time is mine.
00:11:41.000 On December 5th, 2022, an account under the name of Marcus Allen retweeted a tweet that said, quote,
00:11:48.000 Nancy Pelosi staged January 6th.
00:11:51.000 Retweet if you agree, end quote.
00:11:54.000 Do you agree with that statement?
00:11:56.000 Yes or no?
00:11:57.000 That...
00:11:58.000 That is...
00:11:59.000 I don't...
00:12:00.000 No, ma'am.
00:12:01.000 That's not my account at all.
00:12:02.000 I have no idea.
00:12:03.000 I'm asking whether you agree with that statement, yes or no?
00:12:06.000 Can you please rephrase the statement?
00:12:08.000 Yeah.
00:12:09.000 Do you think that Nancy Pelosi staged January 6th?
00:12:12.000 I just want him to answer the last question.
00:12:14.000 He'll answer.
00:12:15.000 Yeah, he'll answer.
00:12:16.000 I'm just telling you your time's up.
00:12:17.000 Do you believe that Nancy Pelosi...
00:12:19.000 Do you agree with the statement that this person tweeted that Nancy Pelosi staged January 6th?
00:12:24.000 Yes or no?
00:12:25.000 No.
00:12:26.000 Thank you.
00:12:29.000 We are back live, and for those of you who are listening to this podcast,
00:12:34.000 I want to apologize that you had to hear the shrill voice of Linda Sanchez quite like that,
00:12:40.000 but at least you didn't have to see her.
00:12:42.000 Because for those of you watching right now on our streaming platform,
00:12:45.000 I don't know whose idea purple hair and that lime green dress was,
00:12:51.000 but woof.
00:12:54.000 Now, imagine the stupidity to pull up a tweet that you don't even know that the witness sent
00:13:02.000 and try to use that to impeach the witness.
00:13:05.000 And I didn't like this guy has some incredibly uncommon name.
00:13:09.000 His name's Marcus Allen.
00:13:11.000 Like, there was a running back named Marcus Allen in the NFL.
00:13:16.000 Well, maybe he sent the tweet, but we had to have a little fun with Linda Sanchez after this.
00:13:21.000 Someone went out and created a Linda Sanchez 31399 account
00:13:29.000 and tweeted,
00:13:30.000 Donald Trump is the greatest president of my lifetime.
00:13:32.000 And of course, I had to quote tweet that Congresswoman Linda Sanchez must answer for her tweet.
00:13:39.000 I think it went pretty viral, got over a quarter million views.
00:13:42.000 But Linda Sanchez, be better.
00:13:44.000 Don't make Congress look so bad that you're not even able to validate the identity of someone
00:13:49.000 before attempting to impeach a patriot, by the way.
00:13:52.000 And Marcus Allen, that guy you saw, two tours in Iraq.
00:13:56.000 We'll get to that in a moment.
00:13:58.000 Great guy.
00:13:59.000 But I felt the need to allow Marcus Allen to respond to that attack from Linda Sanchez.
00:14:05.000 And so I'm going to play a clip of one of the moments I had in the hearing in the beginning
00:14:10.000 will be allowing Mr. Allen to share with the country what a patriot he is following that unfair attack.
00:14:17.000 But then you're going to see a clip from George Hill.
00:14:22.000 Now, I want to set this up for you.
00:14:24.000 George Hill is working out of the Boston field office.
00:14:27.000 And I just get the sense you got a bunch of these kind of older Boston guys.
00:14:34.000 And when these new age Washington know-it-all beltway types start telling the boys in Boston
00:14:43.000 that they've got to go and start criminal process against people who never even were at the Capitol
00:14:49.000 in the absence of predication, well, there was pushback.
00:14:52.000 And wait till you hear what the FBI field office in Washington said to the FBI field office in Boston
00:15:01.000 about why they wouldn't give Boston the tapes.
00:15:04.000 Take a listen.
00:15:07.000 Mr. Allen, we just astonishingly heard a Democrat on this committee question your allegiance to the United States.
00:15:14.000 How many tours in Iraq did you do?
00:15:17.000 I did two tours in Iraq, sir.
00:15:20.000 And for how many decades have you held a security clearance?
00:15:24.000 For two decades, sir.
00:15:26.000 Ever been called into question before?
00:15:28.000 No, sir.
00:15:29.000 And you also received the employee of the year award for the Charlotte field office.
00:15:33.000 Is that right?
00:15:34.000 That is correct, sir.
00:15:35.000 Did you receive any medals during your service for the Marine Corps in the United States Navy?
00:15:39.000 I did, sir.
00:15:40.000 As a member of the Marine Corps, I received a Navy commendation medal and a Navy achievement medal.
00:15:46.000 It seems to me your allegiance to the United States is pretty well established over multiple decades,
00:15:51.000 wearing the uniform, fighting for our country.
00:15:53.000 And I am proud that you continue to fight for our country as a whistleblower here,
00:15:58.000 making a disclosure to the United States Congress.
00:16:01.000 And, Mr. Allen, is it your belief that you were retaliated against
00:16:06.000 because you shared an email that questioned the truthfulness of FBI Director Christopher Wray?
00:16:12.000 Yes, sir.
00:16:13.000 And you believed that he wasn't truthful based on testimony given to the United States Senate.
00:16:18.000 Isn't that right?
00:16:19.000 Yes, sir.
00:16:20.000 And in that testimony to the Senate, you believe that Christopher Wray indicated that there were no confidential informants
00:16:25.000 and no FBI assets that were present at the Capitol on January 6th that were part of the violent riot.
00:16:33.000 Isn't that right?
00:16:34.000 Yes, sir.
00:16:35.000 Please play the video.
00:16:36.000 We're now going to hear from George Hill, who worked at the Boston field office.
00:16:41.000 The SSA in Boston said they were going to a political rally, which is First Amendment protected activity.
00:16:48.000 No, we're not uploading.
00:16:49.000 We're not starting cases to these people.
00:16:52.000 To which they said, well, we're going to call your SAC.
00:16:55.000 And the SSA said, go right ahead.
00:16:58.000 Because when you're pushing back, you know, you want to make sure that you have your six covered.
00:17:05.000 So the SAC and the ASAC were intimately aware of these kinds of exchanges that were going on.
00:17:13.000 And again, to his credit, Joe Bonavallante said, no, we're not opening up cases on people who went to a rally.
00:17:20.000 And I forgot a key part.
00:17:24.000 The SSA for CT2 said, happy to do it.
00:17:29.000 Show us where they were inside the Capitol.
00:17:32.000 And we'll look into it.
00:17:33.000 To which WFO said, we can't show you those videos unless you can tell us the exact time and place those individuals were inside the Capitol.
00:17:42.000 To which the SSA responded back.
00:17:45.000 And I was privy to these conversations firsthand.
00:17:47.000 And why can't you show us, why can't you just send us, give us access to the 11,000 hours of video that's available?
00:17:56.000 Because there may be, may be UC's undercover officers or CHS's confidential human sources on those videos whose identity we need to protect.
00:18:11.000 So, Mr. Allen, you got retaliated against for the very thing, for saying the very thing that the Washington field office was telling Boston.
00:18:20.000 When the Boston field office was saying, we're not going to go and investigate people that just showed up at a rally without sufficient criminal predicate.
00:18:28.000 The Washington field office told Boston, well, you know what?
00:18:31.000 We can't give you the evidence because it might disclose the very CI's and UC's that you are concerned about.
00:18:37.000 But that doesn't surprise you, Mr. O'Boyle, does it?
00:18:41.000 No, sir.
00:18:42.000 And the reason it doesn't surprise you is that in a different part of the country, you saw that same pressure from the Washington field office.
00:18:50.000 And did they ever try to get you to do something that was outside the normal order of law enforcement activity?
00:18:56.000 Yes, sir.
00:18:57.000 And what did the Washington field office try to get you to do that violated the law and regulations?
00:19:02.000 They tried to get me to serve a federal grand jury subpoena when there was no proper predicate to do so.
00:19:09.000 And the reason there was no predicate was because it was based on an anonymous tip, right?
00:19:12.000 That's correct.
00:19:13.000 And time and again, the Washington field office was trying to pressure you without corroboration to go start process on people.
00:19:20.000 Isn't that right?
00:19:21.000 Yes, sir.
00:19:23.000 Yes, sir.
00:19:24.000 And so while I agree that January 6th was a violent day, a bad day, a day that nobody wants to relive, violence on January 6th doesn't justify weaponizing the government against people who were innocent and did nothing wrong.
00:19:37.000 Thank you for blowing the whistle on that.
00:19:40.000 I yield back.
00:19:42.000 We are back live.
00:19:43.000 Homey girl on Rumble says it is time to impeach Christopher Wray.
00:19:47.000 I would not want to make the Wray impeachment defense argument, certainly not after we saw how these whistleblowers were treated and just the underlying bad conduct that has permeated Christopher Wray's entire tenure at the FBI.
00:20:03.000 There may be more on that coming.
00:20:05.000 Also, we've got Amy on Facebook telling me to do my job.
00:20:09.000 We're working on it, Amy.
00:20:11.000 Appreciate the feedback.
00:20:12.000 Think about what you just heard there from George Hill.
00:20:15.000 They wanted the Washington field office to provide videos if the Washington field office wanted Boston to go open up criminal cases on people who allegedly were in Washington, D.C.
00:20:28.000 or at the Capitol or committing crimes on January 6th.
00:20:31.000 And when the Boston field office said, OK, well, like, give us the video for that.
00:20:35.000 The Washington field office replied, we can't give you the video because it may expose confidential human sources and undercover federal agents.
00:20:45.000 This is what we've been saying the whole time.
00:20:49.000 That there were elements of the events of January 6th that included federal assets woven into some of these groups.
00:20:59.000 And we're still investigating the extent to which any of those federal assets increased the level of criminal acuity.
00:21:08.000 But we know they were there.
00:21:11.000 And, like, think about the arrogance of the Washington field office to tell these guys in Boston, hey, we want you to go put down the shoe leather to go and chase down a bunch of J6 subjects.
00:21:23.000 But we don't trust you enough to give you the videos that might include our undercover officers and our confidential human sources.
00:21:31.000 So the FBI not trusting the FBI.
00:21:34.000 It is so fishy.
00:21:36.000 And we learn more about it.
00:21:38.000 And what we learn, I think, continues to vindicate what I've been saying the whole time about January 6th.
00:21:44.000 And these whistleblowers know it.
00:21:46.000 And it's one of the reasons I think they came forward.
00:21:48.000 Now, it wasn't just George Hill who raised concern about videos seemingly showing people trapped unwittingly into some technical violation of trespassing law.
00:22:01.000 It was also Marcus Allen.
00:22:03.000 Take a listen.
00:22:05.000 The video, to me, indicated potential problems with the investigation as far as informants were concerned and our organization's potential forthrightness about utilization of informants there on that day.
00:22:26.000 That might have some impact on our cases and, you know, the subjects that we were looking up.
00:22:33.000 And then just a general awareness overall for the investigation as a whole, that there might have been some kind of potential federal involvement with the activities on January 6th.
00:22:45.000 And I thought it was important enough that it, like, wanted our attention.
00:22:52.000 Yeah, Marcus Allen is an analyst when there's video that shows that something ain't right, that there's a scaffold commander yelling at people to get in the Capitol, that there's this guy, Ray Epps, who appears to be like the Forrest Gump of January 6th, popping up at every key moment, that there's all kind of activity with the barricades that were seemingly taken down as folks were walking around the Capitol complex.
00:23:22.000 So, it's really something that those videos weren't analyzed further, but at least there were people like Marcus Allen saying, we've got to take a closer look at these things.
00:23:30.900 And for him just raising that prospect, not defending the January 6th subjects, not siding with some sort of spirit of insurrection, that's always the word that Adam Schiff and Jamie Raskin like to misapply.
00:23:47.560 No, he just wanted people to be aware, and for that, he was revoked from his security clearance, suspended from his job, left without pay, and unable to get outside employment, because he's still technically an FBI employee, even though he's not getting paid, unable to make a living for his family for a year.
00:24:10.760 Remember, that's Marcus Allen, American patriot, whistleblower, targeted by a weaponized Biden government.
00:24:18.600 Gerardo Boyle also talked about this dynamic where the Washington field office wanted to create the sense that there was this great eruption of domestic terrorism and extremism all over the country as a consequence of January 6th,
00:24:32.760 when the reality is the January 6th matter should have been one matter, if a matter at all, and if they wanted to evaluate subjects within that, those would be subjects within one matter,
00:24:43.300 but instead, so that they could act as though there's this great threat of racism and white supremacy and extremism,
00:24:51.680 they cooked the books and had individual cases open on each of these individual folks who they wanted to target.
00:24:58.180 Garrett O. Boyle brought attention to that ridiculousness. Take a listen.
00:25:06.280 As a DT agent, I encountered similar stat padding or case bolstering.
00:25:14.860 Truth be told, it was one case, but the FBI had me open up four different cases,
00:25:20.340 because they had me open a case for every individual that I had an articulable factual basis that there may have been potential federal law being violated.
00:25:33.240 Or like on a criminal case, say you're working like a gang, which this case was, I guess, like a militia.
00:25:38.980 If you're working like a gang, you have a case open on the gang, and you have a sub-file for each person in it.
00:25:46.840 Like, you know, John Doe 1, 2, and 3, they all have their own sub-file.
00:25:51.880 Or in my case, John Doe 1, 2, 3, and 4 all had their own separate case,
00:25:57.180 because then the FBI can, from my perspective, the FBI can come back to Congress and say,
00:26:01.900 look at all the domestic terrorism we've investigated, where really I was working one case.
00:26:06.900 But the FBI can then say, well, he actually had four.
00:26:10.480 And so we, you know, we need you to give us more money, because look at how big of a threat all this domestic terrorism is.
00:26:18.740 That is an astonishing clip, because so many of these joint terrorism task forces
00:26:24.460 were originally given resources and authorities to fight terrorists abroad,
00:26:29.500 to go after radical Islamic extremists who wanted to destroy America.
00:26:35.880 And over time, as Eric Holder and Barack Obama were converting the Department of Justice
00:26:42.440 into a left-wing enforcement operation,
00:26:46.880 well, then you saw the inward turning of many of those resources and authorities,
00:26:51.800 and they were no longer going after Osama bin Laden or al-Baghdadi overseas.
00:26:57.200 They were trying to say that your neighbor is a domestic terrorist because they fly a Trump flag
00:27:01.500 and have a Make America Great Again hat.
00:27:04.800 And that is wrong.
00:27:06.380 And it is the function of a weaponized and politicized system.
00:27:10.160 No one put it better than Garrett O'Boyle.
00:27:12.180 Take a listen to this clip.
00:27:15.480 Do you believe that the FBI has become political?
00:27:18.560 I do.
00:27:18.900 I think most people out in the field try to avoid that politicization of the agency, which is good,
00:27:29.680 but it's gotten to a point, it seems to me, that it's like a cancerous point
00:27:38.160 where the FBI has let itself become enveloped in this politicization and weaponization that
00:27:46.000 I don't know how to even begin to fix it.
00:27:53.880 We're back alive.
00:27:55.160 Cancerous is exactly the way to describe it.
00:27:58.340 And unfortunately, the cancer spreads even sometimes beyond Washington.
00:28:02.040 There was one whistleblower who was so concerned about retaliation from the federal government
00:28:08.160 for the sake of his family, retaliation by the media and Democrats.
00:28:11.680 Not only did he not agree to come and testify today, he would not allow us to use some of
00:28:17.060 the clips from his deposition to present to you and to present to everyone, but much of
00:28:22.060 his testimony centered around what we call the Catholics Memo.
00:28:26.200 Now, this is a memo that came out of the Richmond Field Office, and the Richmond Field Office
00:28:32.840 concludes that radical, racially motivated, violent extremists are going to show up at
00:28:41.720 Catholic churches.
00:28:43.780 And so they recommend that they have to go and infiltrate those churches, put people in
00:28:51.300 them, gather intelligence.
00:28:53.220 And oh, by the way, they have to do this in the time up to the election.
00:28:59.760 That's the operative time period leading up to the election.
00:29:03.240 So we hope to get that whistleblower a little more comfortable over time and to share more
00:29:08.340 with you there.
00:29:09.660 So I want to give a take on the Durham report.
00:29:12.860 We get this 300 plus page report.
00:29:15.940 I gave takes on it on Chris Plants, the right side.
00:29:19.320 Make sure to check those out.
00:29:20.620 They're on our Rumble channel.
00:29:21.660 And I'm disappointed there weren't more indictments.
00:29:25.540 Durham charges three people, gets a plea agreement on one, the FBI lawyer who changed evidence
00:29:32.480 before a secret court.
00:29:34.800 And Kevin Clinesmith, that lawyer, is already back to practicing law in Washington, D.C.
00:29:41.860 Think about that.
00:29:43.040 No consequence for cheating before a secret court.
00:29:47.820 Durham lost his other two cases and brought no further charges.
00:29:52.500 I think it's incredibly disappointing.
00:29:54.420 We will have Special Counsel Durham before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday of
00:30:00.040 next week.
00:30:00.880 And I'll be right here with clips, analysis, and a plan forward.
00:30:06.020 Thanks everyone so much for joining me.
00:30:07.980 It is always a blessing to have you on Firebrand.
00:30:10.840 Roll the credits.
00:30:11.420 We'll be right back.
