An FBI whistleblower has told the House Judiciary Committee that he witnessed the bureau’s deputy director violating security policies and putting classified information at risk.
The special agent told lawmakers that Paul Abbate, who oversees all FBI domestic and international investigative and intelligence activities, used his smartphone in an FBI sensitive compartmented information facility, or SCIF, which is a violation of bureau security protocols.
Just bringing a phone into the SCIF is a security breach.
The senior agent accused Mr. Abbate of walking around in the SCIF while talking on the smartphone and sending text messages and emails.
Another FBI whistleblower said senior FBI officials routinely break the no-cellphone rule in SCIFs.
The Washington Times viewed a letter the whistleblowers’ attorney sent to Judiciary Committee Republicans that described the accusations against Mr. Abbate. It is part of a flood of FBI whistleblower complaints about politicized investigations and misconduct at the bureau. This time, the subject of the complaint is in the top tier of FBI leadership.
The FBI bristled when asked about the whistleblowers’ accusations. “This reporting is categorically false,” the FBI said in a statement to The Times.

it’s not a Faraday cage???
His house should be raided, and his wife’s delicates should be roughly handled.
“This reporting is categorically false”
Translation:
“How dare you! Want to get raided?!?”
“what I called a Screen Room. “
Us electron heads call it a Faraday Cage.

Correct. That is exactly what a screen room is.
screen room, shield room, two terms for the same thing. In my experience with shield rooms, which was 1988 - 2003, the walls were solid metal. The doors were airlock style, with copper “fingers” to seal in the RF.
One facility I worked in was built by the military. They tried for a gold plated facility, and used large doors pneumatically operated. One of them malfunctioned once, and started slamming shut with great force. We were lucky nobody was killed before it was fixed.
Unfortunately, I see Arkancide in his future.
Cell phone blockers don’t hurt either!
WOW! First animated guns and now speaking institutions.
At least it wasn't an anonymous source this time. /sarcasm
I think our screen rooms also had solid doors with some sort of RF seal. But they were strictly manually operated.
