On the Monday edition of CNN’s At This Hour, host Kate Bolduan emphasized the FBI’s 2700 open domestic violent extremism (DVE) cases, noting that this figure was “more than double” what it had been in 2020. Notably absent from the segment was any discussion of recent FBI whistleblower reports, which alleged that agents were being pressured to artificially inflate the number of open DVE investigations to please top officials at the Bureau.
Of course, those agents saying they are being told to actively INFLATE the numbers is something you might think a news agency would investigate, right? But, this is CNN of course, and they are not in the journalism business any more! CNN could not even bother to reference Rep. Jim Jordan asking FBI Director Christopher Wray about the allegations.
According to alleged whistleblowers within the Bureau, agents are being pressured to reclassify cases as DVE investigations despite many such cases not meeting the necessary criteria. On July 27, Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH) sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, detailing these allegations:
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.
Now, are the allegations true? Don’t know. Should they be investigated and very concerning? Yes. Should any serious media outlet be looking into them? Absolutely. But, they are not. How convenient for the current leftist administration……………
