Look Who The FBI Is Quietly “Dropping” Behind The Scenes
(RightWing.org) – House Judiciary Republicans have been quietly working to determine whether recent actions by FBI officials violate civil service statutes. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the committee’s ranking member, recently spoke out about what they’ve uncovered so far regarding allegations the agency is dropping conservative agents.
On June 7, Jordan sat down with Fox News host Laura Ingraham for an exclusive interview to discuss the controversy. Jordan said Republican committee members spoke with six agents who approached them as whistleblowers to recount the FBI’s efforts to remove Conservatives.
Additionally, Jordan said the agency was forcing an agent out for daring to make a statement on a questionnaire about the January 6 Capitol Hill riot that contradicted the opinion of FBI leadership. He said they were working to remove one of the agents, a decorated war veteran, for having “the gall” to express his opinion about the January 6 investigation.
Rep. Jordan also sent letters to FBI Director Christopher Wray asking for answers regarding allegations the agency was violating agents’ right to free expression and federal civil service laws.
Now, new whistleblowers tell us that the FBI is “purging” conservatives at the bureau.
Insanity. https://t.co/lhpvucpmMr

On May 6, Jordan wrote Director Wray about allegations the agency was attempting to terminate the employment of agents for engaging in “protected First Amendment activity on January 6, 2021,” and stripping the security clearances of others. Then, on June 7, he sent another letter expressing concern about the agency’s reported efforts to “purge” itself of employees for holding conservative views.
What do you think? Is there sufficient evidence to believe the FBI is removing conservative agents?
