FBI whistleblower: Bosses cooked books on Jan. 6 inquiry to snooker feds for more funding

An FBI whistleblower has accused bureau officials of cooking the books to conceal the number of work hours devoted to the Jan. 6 investigation and inflate time spent on other cases.

According to the anonymous whistleblower, the subterfuge is intended to bolster the bureau’s budget requests to Congress when House Republicans control the purse strings next year.

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, attack on 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.

In the business world we have a term for this, it’s called fraud.

Would it be going out on a limb to suggest these are the actions of a cabal of thieves?

Do whistleblowers have names or is it a glorified version of ‘sources say’. Lately there appears to be a lot of them, but no names and zero accomplished.

Was the “whistle blower” who got the President before the impeachment court, ever named for certain?

Falsifying Federal records is a serious crime.

Not that anyone will ever be prosecuted for it.

The FBI motto has been changed from “ Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity” to “Fleece, Bribe, Indecency”

In a book I read recently a character referred to them as “Farts, Barfs, and Idiots”.

If a corporation cooks the books, the federal government pounces on it like a lion on its prey.

When the federal government cooks the books, the federal government ... investigates the federal government.

Somehow, this has been allowed forever, and it has to stop.

It’s become very apparent that the US federal government is the most corrupt “corporation” in world history.

What is needed is an independent civilian agency, perhaps led by retired, decorated, law enforcement officers, tasked with investigating federal government corruption. It’s high time.

In a private business this will get you fired for misappropriation.
