According to a bombshell report from The Washington Times, an FBI whistleblower has revealed the bureau’s obsession with Jan 6. —prioritizing it over other investigations. The Times says bureau officials have been “cooking the books” to conceal the number of man-hours dedicated to Jan. 6.
From The Washington Times:
According to a whistleblower disclosure submitted to Congress, a top official in the FBI’s counterterrorism unit at the Washington headquarters pressured the bureau’s field offices to stop agents from clocking hours when they are working on investigations related to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.
The supervisors in the field offices were told the agents should instead claim they were working on international terrorism and other investigations when recording hours in the FBI’s time and attendance system, known as WebTA.
…
The FBI told The Times that the allegations were inaccurate but refused to elaborate.
The new allegations add to a flood of FBI whistleblower disclosures to Congress in recent months about widespread misconduct, mismanagement and politicized investigations at the bureau. As The Times has reported, the more than a dozen whistleblower disclosures will fuel congressional probes of the FBI and Justice Department when Republicans take over the House in January.
…
The FBI’s Jan. 6 dragnet also extends to former President Donald Trump and the efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
The anonymous disclosure about disguising agents’ work hours was supported by Stephen Friend, another whistleblower who has been suspended from his FBI job. He said monkeying with WebTA is rampant at the bureau.
