Whistleblowers: FBI targeted unvaxxed agents who didn’t wear masks, took part in ‘religious activities’
by
FBI agents were stripped ‘of security clearances, which sidelined them on the job and pushed them toward the exit, according to the [whistleblower] disclosures.’
(LifeSiteNews) — High-ranking FBI officials are targeting conservative-minded agents who were previously enlisted in the U.S. armed forces, The Washington Times reported November 10. The FBI has allegedly asked the Times to take the article down but the outlet has refused to do so.
Prior to the most recent statement sent to @WashTimes by the @FBI the bureau “officially” asked us to remove this article, which obviously we did not do. https://t.co/zJLJpCxddQ

According to Senior Congressional Reporter Kerry Picket, “a Marine and other military veterans at the FBI have been accused of disloyalty to the U.S. because they fit the profile of a supporter of former President Donald Trump, according to two disclosures sent to lawmakers on the House Judiciary Committee.”

“Failure to wear a face mask, refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccination and participating in religious activities” were all signs the agency used to identify “right wing” employees for discrimination, Picket added.
The FBI has come under criticism from Ohio GOP Rep. Jim Jordan as well as other voices on the political right like Matt Gaetz in recent weeks as the agency is seeking funding for its brand-new $300 million dollar facility. The bureau is also being investigated by the Judiciary Committee for spying on Catholics who attend the Traditional Latin Mass.
Picket reports that she obtained the disclosures sent to members of the Judiciary Committee that detail the allegations.
Officials in the FBI’s Security Division, or SecD in bureau lingo, suspended Mr. O’Boyle’s security clearance after he was transferred to a new field office, leaving him and his family in a new city where they became financially stranded and homeless, it said.

“The whistleblowers said Jeffrey Veltri, deputy assistant director of the bureau’s security division, and Dena Perkins, assistant section chief, specifically pursued employees who served in the Marine Corps or other military branches,” she writes. “They stripped the agents of security clearances, which sidelined them on the job and pushed them toward the exit, according to the disclosures.”
FBI whistleblower Kyle Seraphin took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his reaction to Picket’s report, as he was one of the persons identified in the disclosure.
This is one most damning article about the @FBI’s behavior towards me and my buddies (the #Suspendables).
It is also damning about the treatment of other veterans. Not everyone had the same instinct I did to make noise – most #FBI agents didn’t have a dad who grew up in radio. https://t.co/u8oFz4qPxF

In February of this year, Seraphin released a bombshell “intelligence product” that was published for internal use by the FBI’s Richmond, Virginia office. The eight-age memo revealed that the agency was surveilling Catholics who attend the Traditional Latin Mass. The memo mentioned the Latin Mass-only Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP) and Priestly Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) by name, noting both have “houses of worship” in Richmond.
