• "Are we going to do public corruption or not?" the whistleblower told Insider.
• He said his boss ordered him to stop investigating Giuliani and the Trump White House.

A veteran FBI counterintelligence agent says his supervisor told him to stop investigating Rudy Giuliani and to cut off contact with any sources who reported on corruption by associates of former President Donald Trump, according to a whistleblower complaint obtained by Insider.

The agent, who served 14 years as a special agent for the bureau, including a long stint in Russia-focussed counter-intelligence, claims in a 22-page statement that his bosses interfered with his work in "a highly suspicious suppression of investigations and intelligence-gathering" aimed at protecting "certain politically active figures and possibly also FBI agents" who were connected to Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs.

Those figures, the statement claims, explicitly included "anyone in the [Trump] White House and any former or current associates of President Trump."

1. Projection marries the Deep State

Who could possibly have suspected?

[tanyev]

2. Surely Jim Jordan will want to get to the bottom of this!

[Traildogbob]

8. My first thought.

Comer will drop the Hunter shit and get right on it as well.

[Skittles]

3. but Hillary was fair game

SICKENING

[Bluethroughu]

24. For nothing.

They wrecked her campaign for nothing.

[Skittles]

27. being a strong woman was enough for them

it absolutely disgusted me how many people - with some so-called progressives included - fell for that misogynistic crap

[Bluethroughu]

28. She has brains and is not afraid of men...

They can't handle that.

[anarch]

4. I remember a time when this would have actually been shocking

now I'm just like "yeah of course"...it's depressing really

[Codifer]

6. And heartbreaking as well.

[Dave says]

10. Yes, it's incredible, isn't it?

How far down the rabbit hole this nation has descended.

[RVN VET71]

22. Yep, that's where we are

Nothing surprises me anymore. I feel like the country I used to live in has transformed beneath my feet to a dark, slithery ocean of amoral slime.

[elias7]

5. And that Republicans, is the real deep state

The deep state has always been old money Republican and if someone tells you otherwise, they are lying.

[overleft]

17. Spot On!!!

[PCIntern]

7. Color me not surprised...

You can only imagine what was going on below decks, so to speak.

[LiberalFighter]

9. The same office that Giuliani use to run?

[Evolve Dammit]

11. well that certainly SUCKS and tells us where we are in a divided DOJ.

[BadgerMom]

12. Well, well, well. Who else isn't surprised?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

13. There are MAGAts eating their way through our government.

[StClone]

14. This information put through the "Conservative AI Converter"

It would read, "Biden's FBI inventing fake whistleblower fake stories to take down Lord God Trump." You can make a drinking game out of it.

[Hortensis]

15. "The 2022 meeting was the culmination of... a YEARS-LONG effort to frustrate

his investigations into potential wrong-doing by political figures in Trump's circle, stretching back to Trump's stint in the White House. In January 2022, he had filed an internal complaint under the Whistleblower Protection Act alleging "numerous acts of intelligence suppression of my reporting related to foreign influence and the Capital riots, retaliatory acts and defamation of my own character." ...

... claims in a 22-page statement that his bosses interfered with his work in "a highly suspicious suppression of investigations and intelligence-gathering" aimed at protecting "certain politically active figures and possibly also FBI agents" who were connected to Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs. Those figures, the statement claims, explicitly included "anyone in the [Trump] White House and any former or current associates of President Trump."

Strictly this person's version, of course.

[Botany]

16. I wonder just how big HRC's win would have been if ...

.... the FBI hadn't rat fucked her campaign and helped
Trump's?

[Wounded Bear]

18. Anybody who is surprised has not been paying attention...nt

[Hotler]

19. What are the names your bosses? Most have a book deal in the works.

Such a fine patriot.

[farmbo]

20. Someone did Democracy a solid by leaking this now.

Former NY Office FBI Chief Charles McGonigal was about to get a sweetheart plea deal on his multi-count indictments for bribery and foreign influence on behalf of Russian oligarchs. Perhaps now the DOJ and the Court will hold off on the deal and chat with this whistleblower.

[liberalla]

29. With Mcgonigle in charge at the FBI NY Field Office for counterintelligence,

no wonder the investigations were SUPPRESSED!

Yes, I hope the plea deal is put on HOLD... permanently. He should have to feel some pain and pay a price.

Some CONSEQUENCES would be great.
