I'm sharing an email from James Dennehy, the assistant director in charge of the New York field office, that highlights resistance within the FBI. Dennehy sent a very direct email to his staff, challenging the Trump administration, stating that the FBI is currently in an internal battle. He notes that good people are being forced out, while others are being targeted simply for doing their jobs according to the law and FBI policy.

They describe a monitoring and disruption program with a dedicated apparatus. They have 40 analysts working full time, seven days a week, twenty four hours a day, monitoring extremists online across platforms including social media, messaging apps, video games, cryptocurrency, podcasts, short form video, Wikipedia, and LLMs. They monitor these people and share the intelligence with the FBI. They are monitoring left-wing radicals like the DSA, antiwar activists, and pro-Palestine extremists; right-wing extremists like white supremacists and armed militia groups; political Islamists and Christian nationalists, all of them. They also emphasize training, stating they are the largest trainer of law enforcement in America, training 20,000 officers every year.

The speaker argues that to understand how the American government actually works at the highest levels, you must know that Richard Nixon was historically the most popular president, elected with a massive margin in 1972, yet he was forced to resign and was replaced by Gerald Ford, an unelected president. The speaker asserts this demonstrates that the federal agencies undermine the American system, a point Nixon allegedly warned about and was right about. Key events and connections highlighted include: - Nixon’s meeting with CIA director Richard Helms on June 23, 1972, during which Nixon allegedly implied knowledge of who killed John F. Kennedy and suggested CIA involvement in Kennedy’s assassination; Helms reportedly remained silent. - Four days earlier, the Washington Post published the first Watergate break-in story; the speaker notes that four of the five burglars worked for the CIA and that Bob Woodward, the reporter, had a background in the classified realm and worked with intelligence agencies; Woodward’s main source was Mark Felt, deputy director of the FBI, who allegedly ran COINTELPRO to discredit Nixon and other political targets. - The FBI’s COINTELPRO program is cited as a mechanism used to take down Nixon’s vice president, Spiro Agnew, who was indicted for tax evasion in 1973 and forced to resign; Ford, a Warren Commission member, replaced Agnew, with the claim that Ford’s qualifications were tied to his involvement with the Commission’s conclusion that the CIA bore no responsibility for Kennedy’s assassination. - The speaker alleges that Nixon was strong-armed into accepting Gerald Ford as president by Democrats in Congress, with the claim that Ford’s rise demonstrated a systemic pattern in which the presidency could be controlled by federal agencies and political elites rather than by elected representatives or voters. The narrative then shifts to the Trump era, stating that Michael Flynn—an Army intelligence veteran who had led the Defense Intelligence Agency—was targeted by the FBI shortly after Trump’s inauguration, lured into a meeting without legal counsel, and pressured to resign based on fabricated crimes; this is presented as evidence of how the system operates against national-security-minded figures who seek to push back. The speaker contrasts this with Joe Biden, claiming he was similarly harmed by the justice system and portraying Biden as deserving neither sympathy nor special treatment, while contending that the broader electorate deserves a genuine democracy in which people who are not elected to lead do not run everything. The overarching claim is that “democracy becomes a joke” when unelected actors wield real power.

As documents are declassified and released, more is being learned about who was directly involved and implicated in past wrongdoings. Some individuals loudly protested against these actions, and whistleblowers are coming forward with documentation of their protests and unwillingness to participate. As those who had a hand in these actions are identified, it will provide an opportunity to ensure that they, and others willing to weaponize intelligence to subvert the will of the American people, can no longer work in the intelligence community.

As a former 18-year veteran of the Department of Justice, I now lead a group called Justice Connection, aiding current DOJ employees facing demotions, firings, and threats from various sources, including January 6th rioters and those believing in the "deep state" narrative. These individuals are terrified for their careers and personal safety due to increased doxxing and harassment. The current environment within the FBI and DOJ is destabilized, impacting morale and daily functions, making it harder to focus on critical tasks like counterterrorism. While the administration defends personnel moves as aligning with its priorities, the safety and security of dedicated DOJ employees is at risk, especially with doxxing and harassment being criminal offenses.

There are reports of FBI lawyers claiming that actions against certain employees could be unconstitutional. Norm Eisen and Mark Zaid have warned the DOJ about potential legal action if the Trump administration attempts to remove or reassign FBI or DOJ staff. This is ironic, given their past violations of due process rights for January 6 defendants. Meanwhile, rumors suggest an impending FBI walkout, with some agents urged to stand their ground. One New York FBI field office director emphasized entitlement to their jobs. A walkout could expose the agents’ sense of entitlement and accountability for eroding public trust in the DOJ and FBI.

Dan Bongino posted on X that something he learned from his time at the FBI shocked him to his core, stating, "we cannot run a republic like this, and I'll never be the same after learning what I've learned." Speaker 1 responded that they have seen up close the tactics used by those who care more for themselves, their ambition, their job, their influence, their political interests, and their selfish, self-serving interests than they care about the Constitution. They stated that every law enforcement and intelligence community professional swears an oath to support and defend the Constitution. Speaker 1 expressed their own frustrations but affirmed their resolve is rooted in love for the country and belief in its founding values, and therefore, they feel a responsibility to do something about what they are revealing, seeing, and experiencing firsthand.

The speakers discuss the motivations behind the harsh treatment they received from the Agency. They believe that the Agency wants to silence critical thinkers and those who question their chain of command.

The FBI has been using undercover agents to infiltrate Catholic parishes and recruit informants to report on fellow parishioners who hold beliefs deemed problematic and radical by the government, such as being pro-life, pro-marriage, and pro-border security. This raises concerns about the FBI's deception and the targeting of individuals based on their legitimate beliefs. Meanwhile, the FBI seems to prioritize domestic terrorism, particularly radical anti-government and white supremacist extremism. This shift in focus has led to the agency being seen as a political weapon rather than serving the American people.

Many fail to grasp the extent of corruption in institutions that Trump was elected to reform. It's wrong to label Dan Bongino, a former law enforcement and Secret Service agent who risked his life for this nation, as a far-right podcaster. The President trusts him for a vital role because he's an outsider to the Washington swamp. Such appointments make insiders nervous, as Bongino, Patel, and Bondi aim to end government weaponization and root out corruption in these agencies once and for all.

Last week, Kash Patel was confirmed as FBI director, and now Dan Bongino, a right-wing conspiracy theorist and podcaster, has been appointed as his number two. Bongino has zero experience at the FBI, and this deputy director position has always been held by a long-term veteran of the bureau for over a hundred years, because this person has access to sensitive operations, including surveillance and working with our allies' intelligence agencies. Bongino is known for pushing conspiracy theories, like the big lie that Donald Trump won the 2020 election. He's also a COVID disinformation super spreader and a Russia denier. Instead of focusing on fentanyl traffickers, murderers, and violent criminals, he's going to be focused on the political vendettas of Donald Trump, because he doesn't want to move on.

The speaker discusses a series of alarming claims related to political violence and distrust in U.S. institutions. They reference online activity on social media and a book that appeared prior to what is described as the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The speaker states that the book “was put up, I believe, twenty four hours or within a certain period of time before he was assassinated,” and they recall seeing it but are unsure if there was any follow-up. Turning to broader issues of trust, the speaker asserts that skepticism toward the government, and specifically agencies like the FBI, does not arise from nowhere. They frame this distrust as grounded in “decades of the federal government and elected officials' failures and actually being transparent and honest with the American people.” In their view, there has been a history of corruption within the FBI, described as “corruptness that exists within the Department of the FBI previously,” which they juxtapose with references to “the deep state individuals in various branches of government that have engaged in coups against the American people.” The speaker then suggests a possible topic for discussion, stating, “We can talk about Kennedy if you want,” implying that discussions about government overreach or conspiratorial actions could include the Kennedy assassination as a point of reference. Overall, the points highlighted are: (1) a book about the assassination of Charlie Kirk appearing online shortly before the alleged event, with uncertainty about follow-up; (2) a claim that distrust in government institutions stems from long-standing failures and lack of transparency by federal authorities; (3) allegations of FBI corruption and deep-state actors across branches of government who have engaged in coups against the American people; and (4) an invitation to discuss related topics such as Kennedy.

I joined the FBI in 2014, focusing on violent crimes on Indian reservations and later on child pornography and human trafficking in Florida. In 2021, I was reassigned to domestic terrorism, where I became concerned about the January 6 investigations. I noticed the FBI was straying from its guidelines, which I believed jeopardized important cases and public safety. After raising my concerns, my security clearance was suspended, and I was placed in an unpaid position indefinitely. The FBI pressured me to lie to charge me with a crime and denied my requests for outside employment. If the FBI treats its own agents this way, what might they do to ordinary citizens?

The speaker explains that operatives don’t operate by flashing secret IDs or sneaking into buildings; instead, they rely on simple, routine instructions such as telling media figures not to discuss certain topics or to cut out specific content. Referencing Project Mockingbird, the speaker notes that operatives receive basic guidance in the form of talking points or directives. A recruitment scenario is described to illustrate how a Gen Z individual might be recruited. In a public setting, someone approaches the target, praises their podcast, and asks a provocative question: are you a patriot? If the target expresses willingness to consider an offer, the recruiter presents a staged process to secure compliance and loyalty. Stage one involves exposing the target to a comprehensive package of compromising material: the target’s browsing history, webcam captures from all devices, and recordings of “the most compromising shit you could ever possibly imagine.” The recruiter then praises the target’s work on the podcast and offers protection from exposure along with a monetary incentive—$20,000 per month. The target, feeling chosen and in control, agrees to the process. The speaker notes that cognitive dissonance keeps the target from seeing themselves as compromised, framing the arrangement as serving the greater good and protecting Americans. This justification helps the target align their actions with a self-image of doing the right thing. Consequently, the target may be motivated to silence others, omit certain guests, or exclude content from their podcast, under the belief that their actions are for national safety and public welfare. Even if the situation feels off, the individual may still feel they are contributing to the greater good and thus rationalize the behavior as necessary.

There's a "shock and awe" playbook being used, keeping people scared and uninformed with impossible demands, creating an unhealthy environment where no real work gets done. Federal employees should avoid workplace conversations and devices, using encrypted networks to prevent surveillance. Be cautious about what you say on any platform. It's not surprising to see inexperienced people being brought in to evaluate experienced employees' work, creating a demoralizing environment. The practice of feeding sensitive federal data into AI systems without proper vetting is a privacy and cybersecurity nightmare, ignoring the laws in place to protect information and government security. These rules are there for a reason.

The speaker testifies about the weaponization of the FBI and DOJ against its own employees and the American people. He served in the Army in Iraq and Afghanistan, then as a police officer, and later as an FBI special agent. Despite receiving high performance reviews and being selected for specialized units, he has been smeared as a subpar employee after witnessing weaponization within the FBI. He states that too many in the FBI prioritize avoiding difficulty over upholding the Constitution, leading to an Orwellian atmosphere that silences dissent. He is speaking out despite the potential personal cost, including the loss of his job and family's home. He claims the FBI allowed him to accept orders to a new position, sell his family's home, and report to the new unit before suspending him on his first day, rendering his family homeless. He concludes that bad actors have begun running parts of the government, but he will never stop trying to serve the nation and protect the innocent.

The speaker discusses internal resistance to RFK Jr.’s policies and the idea that “deep staters” have been entrenched in government. They mention being forwarded an anecdote from a “good career employee.” They point to the FDA, noting that when Marty Makary came in, he had only about 10 political appointees he could choose. Jay Bhattacharya at the NIH allegedly had one political appointee. The speaker claims that every government employee is a “deep stater” who has been there a long time and that an email from a good employee circulates a CIA manual called How to Be a Bad Bureaucrat and Subvert an Institution from Within. The email supposedly asserts that 90% of employees at HHS, which has 70,000 employees, are talking in lunchrooms about the manual and telling each other that their job is to save America and save science from the agenda of President Trump and RFK Jr. The speaker asserts this reflects how people think across major departments and asks how to get rid of them, suggesting firing them as a solution, and mentions SIOP in this context. The CDC is presented as a case study of failure, described as a public health disaster in its COVID-19 response. The speaker alleges that the CDC’s guidance on school lockdowns copied directly from a teacher union document with which they were aligned, reproducing paragraphs from the teacher’s union advocating for two years of school shutdowns. It is claimed that the CDC also said that cloth masks were fine. The speaker says the CDC led the response and that the NIH funded the entire pandemic, including gain-of-function research, asserting that this constitutes “the creation of the pandemic.” In contrast, RFK Jr. is said to have fired three employees, and this action is described as national news. The overall narrative emphasizes a view of pervasive internal opposition within federal agencies, a controversial and sweeping critique of the CDC, NIH, and HHS responses to the pandemic, and a framing of RFK Jr.’s personnel decisions as transformative and newsworthy.

Interview With FBI Whistleblowers | PBD Podcast | Ep. 276

reSee.it Podcast Summary

In this podcast episode, hosts Patrick Bet-David interviews FBI whistleblowers Steve Friend and Garrett O'Boyle, who share their experiences and insights regarding the FBI's internal culture and practices. Steve Friend, an FBI agent since 2014, discusses his background in law enforcement and his transition to the FBI, where he investigated violent crimes and child exploitation. He became a whistleblower after witnessing malfeasance within the agency, particularly regarding its handling of domestic terrorism and child exploitation cases. He describes a conversation with his wife that prompted him to report his concerns to Congress, emphasizing that the FBI's actions often contradicted its stated values of fidelity, bravery, and integrity. Garrett O'Boyle, also an FBI agent and former police officer, shares his experiences of being suspended without pay after reporting concerns about the agency's practices. He highlights the challenges faced by whistleblowers, including financial instability and attempts to discredit them. Both agents express their belief that the FBI has become politicized and is more focused on statistics and appearances than on genuine law enforcement. The discussion touches on the FBI's alleged prioritization of domestic terrorism cases over child exploitation, with Friend noting that he was reassigned from investigating child pornography to domestic terrorism, which he viewed as a significant misallocation of resources. O'Boyle echoes this sentiment, stating that the FBI's focus on metrics has led to a culture of "stat padding," where cases are opened to inflate numbers rather than to pursue justice effectively. They also discuss the FBI's response to January 6th, asserting that the agency has used the event to justify increased surveillance and investigations into American citizens, often labeling them as domestic terrorists. Friend recounts instances where he felt pressured to conform to management's directives, which he believed compromised the integrity of investigations. The conversation further explores the cultural dynamics within the FBI, including the influence of political ideologies on its operations. Both agents express concern about the agency's leadership and the disconnect between management and field agents. They argue that the FBI's current trajectory poses a threat to civil liberties and the rule of law. Friend and O'Boyle emphasize the importance of accountability and transparency within the FBI, advocating for a return to its foundational principles of justice and service to the public. They call for reforms that prioritize genuine law enforcement over political agendas and statistical achievements. In conclusion, the podcast highlights the challenges faced by whistleblowers within the FBI, the agency's evolving priorities, and the need for systemic change to restore public trust and uphold constitutional values.
