FBI Whistleblower Testifies: Jan 6 Footage Hidden From Public Because It Shows Too Many Undercover Government Agents
An FBI whistleblower has told the United States Congress’ House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government that the bureau withheld further CCTV footage from the January 6th Capitol Hill fracas over fears of outing “undercover” agents present in the crowd.
FBI Whistleblower Testifies Bureau ‘May Have’ Had Confidential Human Sources in the Capitol on J6
By BRITTANY BERNSTEIN May 18, 2023
A whistleblower from the FBI’s Boston field office testified that agents in Washington refused to share hours of video footage from the January 6 Capitol riot between the offices because there “may be” undercover officers or confidential human sources in the videos whose identities would need to be protected.
The revelation came in a prerecorded video testimony from whistleblower George Hill, which was played during a hearing of the House Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government on Thursday.
Representative Matt Gaetz (R., Fla.) noted that a second whistleblower who was testifying in-person at the hearing, Marcus Allen, was allegedly retaliated against for sending an email linking to a website that said “federal law enforcement had some degree of infiltration among the crowds gathered at the Capitol.” Allen commented in the email that the information raised “serious concerns” about the U.S. government’s participation in the riot.
When asked whether the FBI had confidential human sources at the Capitol, Wray testified in November: “I have to be very careful about what I can say — about when we do and do not and where we have and have not used confidential human sources.”
“But to the extent that there’s a suggestion, for example, that the FBI’s confidential human sources or FBI employees in someway instigated or orchestrated January 6th, that’s categorically false,” Wray added at the time.
Why the FBI And Democrats Are Attacking Whistleblowers
FBI says it won’t release Jan 6 surveillance video because it would show too many undercover government agents and informants

The FBI whistleblowers who testified before Congress today are not actually whistleblowers, say the FBI and Democrats. Rather, they are disloyal Americans who undermined investigations into the January 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C.
“My [Republican] colleagues have brought in these former agents, men who lost their security clearances because they were a threat to our national security,” said Del. Stacey Plaskett (D-V.I.), the ranking member of the House weaponization subcommittee. “Who out of malice or ignorance or both have put partisan agenda above the oath they swore to serve this country.”
But there is no evidence that any of the FBI whistleblowers are or were ever a threat to national security. One of them, Marcus Allen, won two medals fighting in Iraq and Kuwait. Another, Garret O’Boyle, served in the Army in Iraq, worked as a police officer, and graduated with honors in criminology and law.
Democrats pointed out that the FBI had revoked the security clearances of two whistleblowers, Allen, and Steve Friend, earlier this month. That news came in a letter that Christopher Dunham, the acting assistant director of the FBI, sent to the House Judiciary Committee last night.
The FBI claimed that Allen “expressed sympathy for persons or organizations that advocate, threaten, or use force or violence, or use any other illegal or unconstitutional means, in an effort to prevent federal government personnel from performing their official duties.”

I’m not one bit surprised. Whole thing a setup by then Speaker of House Pelosi and Wray of the FBI and sanctioned by the Dept of IN-JUSTICE under the worst DA in history, Merritt Garland. And he is the evil useful idiot Obama nominated for SCOTUS and Biden for Attorney General. Congress should never have confirmed him. .
