Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley (Iowa) and Ron Johnson (Wisc.) sent letters to the Justice Department demanding answers after a former FBI agent said he was forced to sign a nondisclosure agreement that did not include the legally required whistleblower exceptions allowing him to come forward to Congress.
Whistleblower protections have been enshrined in federal law for more than a decade, and federal agencies may not use taxpayer dollars for nondisclosure agreements without including whistleblower exceptions. However, former Special Agent Steve Friend, who came forward in the fall with claims that the FBI used excessive tactics and did not follow its own rules in probing the Jan. 6 riot, provided the GOP senators with the nondisclosure agreement he was forced to sign that did not include the required anti-gag provision.
"These accountability measures are critically important because they ensure whistleblowers know they have the right to disclose government fraud, waste, and abuse to Congress and Inspectors General," Grassley and Johnson wrote in a letter Wednesday to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray. "Federal agencies cannot conceal their wrongdoing behind illegal nondisclosure agreements and related documents."

"The FBI is not above the law, and Congress needs to hold it accountable," Tristan Leavitt, president of the nonprofit watchdog Empower Oversight, said after the senators sent their letters to Justice Department officials. "Congress cannot allow agencies to thumb its nose at its power of the purse. Those who blow the whistle deserve to be protected, not punished and silenced."

Commentary:



There is a legal term for acting in ways that tip your hand that you committed or are committing a crime. This action, by lawyers in the DoJ and Stasi/FBI, is one of those actions. Racketeering, Influencing Corrupt Organizations.
Nonetheless, Garland, Wray and their handlers will continue their respective positions and ruthlessly violate te law.

TRUMP was no different than Obama and Biden in having cabinet members and advisers sign NDA. Difference is none of these people have the ability to launch criminal investigations.

The deep administrative state is the enemy of the people.

Really?

Agreements of (NDA) to access classified or other information, sure. But Trump was different. He ran the WH as a private company. You see, he never ran a business as people belive, he ran a family business.

 

[Dante Reawakened]

The deep administrative state is the enemy of the people.

Trump and MAGA have proved to be the enemy within.

Trump and MAGA have proved to be the enemy within.

The enemy within is the administrative state and pentagon leadership that demands a state of permanent war in foreign lands.

really? They demand it?

okay

Glad you understand. They demand it in many ways, not the least of which is planning and executing various false flag operations that help justify their existence, as Eisenhower alluded to decades ago.

Ike did not warn about false flag shit

No, but anybody who has spent any time in the military knows how much the military loves false flags.

Anybody who has studied minimal recent US history and seen Operation Northwoods documents knows very well how much the military types like FF

By deception shall we wage war...

The jump up and down and beat their little fists on the floor.

And then stick binkies in their fat little lips.

The DOJ has no accountability. They must be totally disbanded and replaced by a working department that values justice.

Yes. Trump is big on nondisclosure, but in most cases they aren't legal.

I know. People are threatened easily

Trump and MAGA have proved to be the enemy within.

If that were true, why have the deep state been trying so hard to impeach him and put him behind bars?

Your post fails the "common sense" test, sorry.
