FBI Agents who worked on January 6 cases and Trump witch hunts sued the Justice Department to block their names
As previously reported, names of the FBI officials who worked on January 6 cases and Trump witch hunts have been identified.
According to NBC News, there were more than 2,400 cases in total.
The FBI officials who worked on the J6 cases and Trump investigations were identified by a case management system.
There are reportedly 5,000 employees who have been identified as subject to potential firing.
The FBI has a Tuesday deadline to hand over the names of the requested officials.
Per NBC News reporter Ken Dilanian: An internal FBI document obtained by NBC News shows that executives use the FBIs Sentinel case file management system to identify agents and employees who worked on January 6 cases. The document says there were around 2400 investigations in total. The document says the search of case files was used to generate a list of names who then received a survey asking them exactly what they did on these cases. This is being viewed within the FBI as a retribution mission.
FBI Agents are in fear of being outed, demoted or denied promotions in the future.
“Plaintiffs legitimately fear that the information being compiled will be accessed by persons who are not authorized to have access to it,” the FBI agents argued in their class action lawsuit, according to Politico. “Plaintiffs further assert that even if they are not targeted for termination, they may face other retaliatory acts such as demotion, denial of job opportunities or denial of promotions in the future.”
Politico reported:
FBI agents who worked on cases stemming from the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol — or the criminal investigations of President Donald Trump — have filed a class action lawsuit to block Justice Department leadership from assembling lists of agents they say will be used as part of a retaliation campaign.
The agents, who brought the federal suit anonymously, included screenshots of a three-page survey they say DOJ leadership intends to use to identify thousands of agents who worked on the politically sensitive cases. According to the lawsuit, the agents are fearful that the Trump-led Justice Department will disseminate the lists publicly or use them to exact punishment against employees deemed disloyal.
Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said the FBI is in “utter disarray” because President Trump is cleaning house and firing corrupt officials involved in the January 6 cases and Trump witch hunts.
McCabe said FBI agents are living in fear as they await Trump’s next big purge.
“This is a moment of terror for these people,” McCabe said.
