Several FBI agents would like Congress to subpoena them so that they can step forward and reveal dirt on former FBI Director James Comey and his Deputy Andrew McCabe, reports the Daily Caller, citing three active field agents and former federal prosecutor Joe DiGenova.
“There are agents all over this country who love the bureau and are sickened by [James] Comey’s behavior and [Andrew] McCabe and [Eric] Holder and [Loretta] Lynch and the thugs like [John] Brennan–who despise the fact that the bureau was used as a tool of political intelligence by the Obama administration thugs,” former federal prosecutor Joe DiGenova told The Daily Caller Tuesday.
“They are just waiting for a chance to come forward and testify.”
DiGenova – a veteran D.C. attorney who President Trump initially wanted to hire to represent him in the Mueller probe – only to have to step aside due to conflicts, has maintained contact with “rank and file” FBI agents as well as a counterintelligence consultant who interviewed an active special agent in the FBI’s Washington Field Office (WFO) – producing a transcript reviewed by The Caller.
These agents prefer to be subpoenaed to becoming an official government whistleblower, since they fear political and professional backlash, the former Trump administration official explained to TheDC.
The subpoena is preferred, said diGenova, “because when you are subpoenaed, Congress then pays…for your legal counsel and the subpoena protects [the agent] from any organizational retaliation…. they are on their own as whistleblowers, they get no legal protection and there will be organizational retaliation against them.”
DiGenova and his wife Victoria Toensing have long represented government whistleblowers. Most recently, Toensing became council for William D. Campbell, the former CIA and FBI operative that was deeply embedded in the Russian uranium industry – only to be smeared by the Obama administration when he gathered evidence of two related bribery schemes involving Russian nuclear officials, an American trucking company, and efforts to route money to the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) through an American lobbying firm in order to overcome regulatory hurdles, according to reports by The Hill and Circa.
diGenova told the Daily Caller that asking for a Congressional subpoena is “an intelligent approach to the situation given the vindictive nature of the bureau under Comey and McCabe. I have no idea how to read Chris Ray who is not a leader and who has disappeared from the public eye during this entire crisis. You know he may be cleaning house but if he’s doing so, he’s doing it very quietly.”
“I don’t blame them,” added diGenova. “I don’t blame the agents one bit. I think that the FBI is in a freefall. James Comey has destroyed the institution he claims to love. And it is beyond a doubt that it is going to take a decade to restore public confidence because of Comey and Clapper and Brennan and Obama and Lynch.”
Meanwhile, the agent from the Washington field office says that rank and file FBI agents are “fed up” and desperately want the DOJ to take action, according to transcripts of the interview.
“Every special agent I have spoken to in the Washington Field Office wants to see McCabe prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. They feel the same way about Comey,“ said the agent.
“The administrations are so politicized that any time a Special Agent comes forward as a whistleblower, they can expect to be thrown under the bus by leadership. Go against the Muslim Brotherhood, you’re crushed. Go against the Clintons, you’re crushed. The FBI has long been politicized to the detriment of national security and law enforcement.”
The special agent added, “Activity that Congress is investigating is being stonewalled by leadership and rank-and-file FBI employees in the periphery are just doing their jobs. All Congress needs to do is subpoena involved personnel and they will tell you what they know. These are honest people. Leadership cannot stop anyone from responding to a subpoena. Those subpoenaed also get legal counsel provided by the government to represent them.”
Meanwhile, the former Trump administration official who spoke with The Caller explained that the FBI’s problems go way beyond Comey and McCabe.
“They know that it wasn’t just Comey and McCabe in this case. That’s too narrow a net to cast over these guys. There’s a much broader corruption that seeped into the seventh floor at the bureau.”
“They ruined the credibility of the bureau and the technical ability of the bureau, so systemically, over the past several years, they’re worried about their organizational reputation and their professional careers.”
Subpoenas when?
This is why Trump made it a point to visit the FBI and CIA and speak directly with the rank and file. He knows the rank and file are not being allowed to do their jobs by the corrupt management. He knows they are demoralized by the BS. These people can’t wait to come forward and spill their guts.
Mr. Marion, just a quick note to say your digging up stories like here, and the last dozen or so posts you’ve submitted have been interesting and appreciated. And, I.S., your commentaries, as well.
The reveals that T4C used to bring into the mix are missed by some. Suspect T got tired of the arguing, bickering and grumbling about the validity of the evidence gleaned from the drain the swamp efforts, exposing clues and news details .
Your posts and comments have me upvoting in a pretty consistent pattern. Keep ’em coming.
I’ve got a better idea. Let’s identify these cowards who have sat back and watched all this corruption, and fire them. Their job is law enforcement. They have failed us completely, and sat back racking up massive paychecks and massive benefits on our dime. What about doing their job? Never occurred to them . I don’t want to hear about how badly they want to expose corruption now. Fuck them.
That’s not the way it works Mr. Hothead. And you know it.
Trump is going to lift the FBI up and smack it down simultaneously. His job is to correct the past and move the country forward. Not break it apart.

Very true FM however, the CIA is going to be wiped out. The remaining good guys will be absorbed by other intelligence programs and the CIA will be no more. They were Rothschild owned since the beginning.
I hope so. I can’t think of one good thing they’ve done for the world since their inception. I guess we’ll see. 🙂
Starfcker, I agree with you.
Now that the winds seem to have changed these baby Alpha males and females, with sociopath tendencies, have begun to get off their knees and APPARENTLY stand for their oath of office and service. What is actually going on is they sense an opportunity and they are standing up to take full advantage of it. The Risk/Reward ratio has flipped to favor the baby Alphas over the ALPHAS currently in charge. The infighting and blood letting could be Biblical!! Circus anyone?
The baseline issue is the baby Alphas want to be Alphas. The Alphas just made a simple mistake; They got caught.
It will be different, but the same with the rising baby Alphas. Sociopaths gotta sociopath.
Color me cynical. So what.
Joe
“I’ve got a better idea. Let’s identify these cowards who have sat back and watched all this corruption, and fire them. Their job is law enforcement.”
Well, it was YOUR job and my job and every other American’s job to be vigilant in caring for our little Republic here but somewhere along the line we failed. All of us Americans ultimately failed as well. WE sat back while the bad guys corrupted the system and stole our country away from us. The bad guys got the upper hand…….just like at the FBI, DOJ etc. Did you ever consider that?
There is a difference between knowledge and MEANS. What means does an average Joe who is working his tail off to make ends meet, and raise him family have to stop the corruption of the system? The only thing I can see, is to go out and shoot an evil-doer. So when he is thrown in jail by the system, where does that leave his family ? Village Idiot indeed.
So you’re a pure, wholesome FBI employee. Your boss is corrupt. Your bosses boss is corrupt and so is his boss. You’re aware of ALL of this, so are your co-workers. You’ve got a mortgage, couple of kids, car loans, credit card debt………..just like everyone else. What’s your play genius? Who you gonna call? You gonna throw that paycheck and bennies away and go dig ditches, flip Whoppers, take the moral high ground? Clue us and the FBI rank and file in there dingleberry. I’d love to hear the diogenes master plan that makes you so much better than the rest of us.
Seems like your argument is with Starfckr, not me. We are in agreement. Both the FBI employee and the regular Joe lack the MEANS to stop the corruption. I was responding to your statement below.
“Well, it was YOUR job and my job and every other American’s job to be vigilant in caring for our little Republic here but somewhere along the line we failed. All of us Americans ultimately failed as well. WE sat back while the bad guys corrupted the system and stole our country away from us.”
My initial reply was to starfucker but you replied to me so I was replying to you.
Since you replied to me above I assumed you meant that the average joe has the knowledge of the corruption and the rank and file FBI had the means to do something about it. My bad.
The evil fucks got us…….by drips and drabs over 200+ years. The slow erosion of our rights, freedoms and laws. They corrupted our elected leaders. They morphed our republic into their own little fiefdom and Trumplestiltskin ain’t havin’ it.
Those rank & file folks had Obummer’s boot on their necks for 8 years. Now that they know Trump is supporting them, they are expressing themselves.
Good for them, but shameful that they were threatened all those years.
And now there’s this:

This shit show is just getting started.
Once again, wake me when someone goes to jail.
People have already gone to jail fukstik. Enjoy your willful ignorance. It suits you perfectly.
Name them.
Nice try. The names have been in the news. At least one was/is quite famous. Those 28000 indictments are being unsealed yet more are being created. That you choose to willfully ignore the news does not mean I’m going to do your homework for you.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
Until then, I’ve heard it all before, over and over again.

Shit show indeed. If even a 10th of what our alphabet agencies ‘been up to got the light of day, the din of the hue and cry would rattle the founding fathers’ caskets. Maybe. Or, maybe Apple would just release a new gadget and everyone would very quickly go back to their electronically induced comas. Probably the Apple thing. Yeah, prolly that…
