After the Supreme Court’s decision to return abortion to the states, the FBI prioritized possible threats against the justices from pro-lifers, focusing on “pro-life adherence,” FBI whistleblower Garret O’Boyle testified.
The FBI has politicized cases regarding Jan. 6 defendants and pro-lifers while retaliating against internal whistleblowers, some of those whistleblowers testified last month to the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, according to portions of transcripts reviewed by Just the News.
Retired FBI supervisory intelligence analyst George Hill, who retired last year from the bureau’s Boston field office, testified that the Washington Field Office pressured other field offices to investigate citizens for activities protected by the First Amendment.
Hill’s own Boston Field Office, he said, pushed back against pressure from Washington to open cases on, first, seven individuals who came up in a sweep of bank records served up by the Bank of America, and then a larger group of 140 Americans guilty of nothing more than riding buses to D.C. to attend former President Trump’s Stop the Steal rally on Jan. 6, 2021.
Washington, Hill believes, applied similar pressure on the Philadelphia Field Office. On a nationwide phone call of all 56 FBI field offices, he testified, then-chief of the Domestic Terrorism Operations Center Section Steve Jensen asked the Philadelphia Field Office about the status of a lead on three individuals that had been sent by the Washington Field Office.
The Philadelphia office said the individuals had posted on social media about being pro-Second Amendment and anti-abortion, but that it didn’t mean they were “insurrectionists seeking to overturn our democracy,” Hill recalled.
