The House Democrat report was released my second day as @ EMPOWR_us president after leaving my position on @ USMSPB two days earlier,
where I adjudicated whistleblower cases.
I had never seen anything so mangle the concept of whistleblowing as their report.

That same day as the FBI Congressional Affairs official handling Weaponization issues chatted with Goldman’s staff, that FBI office sent a letter to the Committee detailing allegations against Empower clients Marcus Allen and Steve Friend. (Steve Friend was also notified the same day that his clearance was revoked, with timing that as he pointed out was clearly “dubious.”)

The letter included a number of allegations about Marcus Allen the FBI did not even ask about in his clearance suspension interview. Some were a simple misunderstanding, and some were outright false and made up out of whole cloth, as he made clear in the May 18 hearing.

In a June 2, 2023 interview, FBI Security Division Assistant Director Jennifer Moore claimed her office didn’t leak the letter, but she never investigated.

In fact, it’s not clear that anyone at the FBI or DOJ ever investigated whether the leak came from any of their staff—such as the supervisory special agent in FBI Congressional Affairs sharing documents with Goldman’s staff.

The letter was immediately leaked on May 17 to major news outlets,
which breathlessly covered it.
WaPo covered only the letter, and not the hearing itself.
They have yet to write an update about Allen’s security clearance being reinstated.

Did Goldman’s staff get an advance copy of the letter of the May 17 smear letter? Maybe. Goldman certainly referenced it plenty in the hearing, including a portion the FBI completely made up about having warned Marcus Allen not to pass around information (which was literally part of his job).

But Marx later thanked the FBI official for “sending over those documents,” which he said were “very helpful to the Congressman.” So it sounds like it was more than just this letter.

Goldman later said: “We’re in the dark, and that’s not how Congress works. That’s not how Committees work.” Then he asked me if it was how things were supposed to work.

I pointed out to him that it’s actually fairly common for whistleblowers to only talk to one side or the other, a point he seemed to concede.

But what is NOT common is an agency sharing information with a personal congressional office that it doesn’t share with anyone else.

Ironically, Goldman was one of the foremost Members arguing during the hearing that if one side of the Committee received information, the other side was entitled to it as well.

TLR2: Yes. There is no question DHS has created a public/private partnership toward this effort.

#WhitmerKidnapping #SwampRats
1/ JULIE KELLY: One thing that shocked me covering the Whitmer trials is FBI pays informants in cash.
(Dan Chappel, lead CHS in Whitmer, was handed an envelope with $23,000 in Dec 2020 for a job well done.)
CHS program is corrupt, just like every other section of the FBI.
We will never know how many informants were involved before and after J6.
We won't know how much they were paid.
CHSs are sketchy people, handlers don't care, and cash is hard to track.

2/ Here's what I wrote in Nov 2022:
To the surprise of no one paying attention, the Department of Justice recently acknowledged the use of several FBI informants in its investigation of the Oath Keepers, an alleged militia group tied to the events of January 6.
Prosecutors last week asked for a protective order to conceal from jurors information about confidential human sources (CHS) expected to testify during the seditious conspiracy trial of five members of the Oath Keepers;

4/That request, of course, is to protect the bureau, not informants, in what appears to be just another corrupt, political, and unaccountable section of the FBI.
For example, court filings in Special Counsel John Durham’s probe into Russiagate just revealed that Igor Danchenko, a subsource for the infamous Steele dossier now facing perjury charges, was hired by the FBI in March 2017 as an informant to shield the agency from questions about the dossier’s credibility in the early stages
