FBI whistleblower gives emotional testimony about ‘highly inappropriate’ retaliation against him

...Marcus Allen, whose attorneys reached a settlement with the bureau earlier this year, told the Judiciary Subcommittee on Weaponization of the Federal Government that higher-ups “accused me of promoting conspiratorial views and unreliable information” for questioning how many confidential informants were present at the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
“The FBI questioned my allegiance to the United States, suspended my security clearance, suspended my pay and refused to allow me to obtain outside employment or even accept charity,” Allen testified about the 27 months he was held in “indefinite limbo.”
“No employee should suffer reprisal for bringing forward information that they reasonably believe is evidence of waste, fraud, abuse or a violation of law,” Horowitz said in his opening remarks before laying out the allegations that he is investigating related to the FBI’s security clearance investigation and adjudication process.
Those claims include “highly inappropriate questions being asked of witnesses during the security clearance investigations” — including political conservatives who were seen as loyal to Trump or resistant to COVID-19 vaccine mandates — and at least one case of a clearance being revoked “based on race.”
Leavitt also name-checked FBI Miami Field Office Special Agent in Charge Jeffrey Veltri, who was allegedly investigated for retaliating against whistleblowers using the security clearance process, often “based on political views and personal medical decisions.”
Veltri, who is currently overseeing the FBI investigation into the second assassination attempt on Trump earlier this month, also mocked Allen as “delusional” for being motivated by his sincerely held religious beliefs to question Wray’s testimony about the Capitol riot.

There is no one more petty and vindictive than a Democrat government employee or a Democrat lawyer.

He also said:
"To the American people, you have a duty as a citizen to vote, and I strongly urge you to do so.
It's how you participate in the American experience. I know people have doubts about election integrity, but you must vote. It is your claim.
State your claim, and don't forfeit it willingly. Have your voice heard. My other recommendations are in the natural order.
First, vote. The second is the Second Amendment. Arm yourself and know how to defend yourself.
Make three to four friends in your neighborhood and promise to come to each other's mutual aid in times of hardship, and during the Great Depression, people stocked up a pantry. I think that's a good practice, especially in our economic times, and make sure you have three to four months of food. As a person of faith, I'd say pray the rosary, go to the First Friday devotions."
Wonder why nobody asked him if he was suggesting some plan was in motion.
