We learned from multiple whistleblowers in connection with the House Committee on the Judiciary that the FBI has allegedly labelled conservative agents as ‘disloyal’ to America and has been purging them and other employees in response.
In a letter addressed to FBI Director Christopher Wray, Representative Jim Jordan made the request that the Bureau “cooperate fully” with the Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General and with his committee during a briefing on the FBI’s conduct in reaction to the January 6 protests.
LATE BREAKING: New whistleblowers allege the FBI is “purging” conservatives at the Bureau.
One agent? A decorated war veteran who served in Iraq and Kuwait.

News of this revelation comes after Jordan had initially contacted Wray requesting a hearing, which at the time, it was believed that only agents who actively participated in the January 6 protests were punished or reprimanded. However, whistleblowers have since revealed that anyone who strays outside of the FBI’s “orthodoxy” is being targeted.
“Multiple whistleblowers have called it a purge of FBI employees holding conservative views,” Jordan stated.
One of the whistleblowers participated in what was described as an anonymous survey and received an “adverse personnel action” in retaliation for his comments about the FBI’s conduct during and after the protests. Mind you, the employee had previously never received any discipline or reprimand for their conduct.
Meanwhile another employee, a decorated veteran, was stripped of their security clearance, after he shared his views that the FBI was “not being entirely forthcoming about the events of January 6.” In response, the FBI labeled his criticism as “conspiratorial” and questioned his allegiance to the U.S. And once again, this was another agent who never faced disciplinary action, received multiple awards and was rated in their performance evaluations as “Exceeds Fully Successful.”
A security clearance is required to work for the FBI so therefore, “a suspension is likely to be the first step in terminating employment.”
Back in May, Jordan sent a similar letter addressing multiple FBI agents being stripped of their security clearance after their participation in the January 6 protest, where they did not engage in any violence or violate the law. The Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee requested a briefing on these actions in May, but the FBI did not comply.
Now, six agents have come forward as whistleblowers speculating the FBI is acting on political motivations and violating the rights of agents who do not follow party line. These disclosures come just a day before the House select committee concerning the incident on January 6 is scheduled to begin its first public hearings.
