Republican Congressmen Accuse FBI Director Wray: Whistleblowers Tell Us the FBI Is Inflating "Domestic Terrorism" Cases According to Biden's Propaganda Demands, and Conditioning Promotions Based on How Many Fake "Domestic Terrorism" Cases They Fabricate

So the FBI has a "quota" system for fake domestic terrorism cases, the same as local podunk cops churn out minor traffic citations.

This surely indicates a Republic in good health: writing up "domestic terrorism" cases like you're just trying to make quota with a bunch of trumped up Failure to Yield hassles.

This initiative began under Obama -- Obama wanted to appease his Muslim supporters, as well as extremist Islamist groups Obama was negotiating with overseas like the Muslim Brotherhood, and so ordered the intelligence agencies and law enforcement agencies to downplay Muslim terrorism ("the motive may never be known") and being "finding" cases of "domestic (white) terrorism," so that it could be claimed the two were in rough parity, or that the latter was more threatening than the former.

The radical left had been pushing this meme since about three hours after 9/11, of course, keeping running tallies of people killed by foreign terrorists and people killed by supposed "domestic extremists." These running tallies always began the week after 9/11, to exclude the 2,996 victims of 9/11, and didn't just include actual "domestic terrorism" victims. Any time someone was vaguely said to be a member of a "domestic extremist" organization, his crimes would be counted as a "domestic terrorism" crime, even if the crime was something obviously unrelated to domestic terrorism, like a man killing his wife in an argument, or one skinhead killing another skinhead in a meth deal gone wrong, etc.

They didn't do that same thing with foreign terrorists -- they didn't include every single crime committed by suspected foreign terrorists.

Because, of course, they weren't trying to pad the numbers of foreign terrorists.

Far from it -- they were trying to reduce those numbers, and claim that even where it was obvious that a murder committed by a Muslim man was in fact inspired by Islam -- that case in the NJ/NY reason of a Muslim man killing gay men, for example -- the FBI would claim "the motive may never be known."

They're not that stupid.

They were acting under orders.

They were instructed: Where possible, do not find a motive.

And, where possible: Claim that any case involving a white guy with a tattoo you think looks a little hinky is a "domestic terrorism" case.

Well, the whistleblowers are now talking to congressmen about this. Finally.

From the House Judiciary Committee, addressing this accusation to Wray directly:

The FBI defines a domestic violent extremist (DVE) as "an individual based and operating primarily within the United States or its territories without direction or inspiration from a foreign terrorist group or other foreign power who seeks to further political or social goals wholly or in part through unlawful acts of force or violence." According to you and other Biden Administration officials, investigations into DVEs have increased "significantly." In June 2021, you testified that the FBI has a "very, very active domestic terrorism investigation program" and that you had "doubled the amount of domestic terrorism investigations." Attorney General Merrick Garland has repeated this talking point, stating that "[t]he number of open FBI domestic terrorism investigations this year has increased significantly."

New whistleblower disclosures made by multiple FBI employees from different field offices indicate that the Biden Administration's narrative may be misleading. We have received accusations that FBI agents are bolstering the number of cases of DVEs to satisfy their superiors.

For example, one whistleblower explained that because agents are not finding enough DVE cases, they are encouraged and incentivized to reclassify cases as DVE cases even though there is minimal, circumstantial evidence to support the reclassification. Another whistleblower--who led at least one high profile domestic terrorism investigation--stated that a field office Counterterrorism Assistant Special Agent in Charge and the FBI's Director of the Counterterrorism Division have pressured agents to move cases into the DVE category to hit self created performance metrics. According to whistleblowers, the FBI uses these metrics to dispense awards and promotions. Every whistleblower has called it an environment of "pressure" within the FBI.

These whistleblower allegations that the FBI is padding its domestic violent extremist data cheapens actual examples of violent extremism. This information
also reinforces our concerns--about which we have written to you several times regarding the FBI's politicization under your leadership. As we have detailed, multiple whistleblowers have disclosed how the Biden FBI is conducting a "purge" of FBI employees holding conservative views. You have ignored these concerns. It appears instead that the FBI is more focused on classifying investigations to meet a woke left-wing agenda.

Chris Wray? That straight shooter?!

Not the Andy-McCarthy endorsed Chris Wray, surely?
