FBI labeled veterans group "terror organization" despite knowing they weren't

It seems increasingly likely that there is a core group of agents inside of the FBI that have grown tired of the overt politicization of the Bureau under the leadership of Christopher Wray and the direction of the Biden administration. Another whistleblower has reportedly come forward and presented information to members of Congress about the abuses taking place inside the FBI. Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio (R) received a complaint from someone inside the agency over the FBI’s designation of American Contingency, a veteran-led group that assists people in the wake of natural disasters, as being “facilitators of domestic terror.” And it was further revealed that the FBI already knew this wasn’t true, having previously investigated the group and found them to be on the up and up.

The FBI was accused of falsely designating a veteran-led emergency prevention organization and its founder as facilitators of domestic terror, according to a whistleblower complaint made public via a letter from the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee.

In the letter, ranking member Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said the FBI associated American Contingency with domestic terrorism despite its own investigation proving otherwise in an effort to “advance a misleading political agenda.”

“American Contingency is a company founded by former U.S. servicemember Mike Glover, who has publicly rejected the FBI’s accusations that he is a terrorist and has described American Contingency’s charitable work on behalf of communities devastated by natural disasters,” Jordan said in the letter addressed to FBI Director Christopher Wray.

For whatever reason (and we could certainly speculate what it was), the FBI opened an investigation into Mike Glover and American Contingency in 2020. They looked into his military service record and even his military disability benefits. They investigated the activities of his organization. Was it a coincidence that all of this took place while Joe Biden was locking up the nomination and running for President? Glover made some social media posts disapproving of some of Joe Biden’s proposed policies, but that was apparently about it.

And what did the FBI find? They concluded that Mike Glover was “a decorated veteran of the United States” whose military record and frequent social media posts reflect his “patriotism for the United States.” They further concluded that Glover “desires to assist Americans in preparing themselves for catastrophic events and not to overthrow the United States Government.”

So the FBI knew all of this, and yet they kept the “domestic terrorism” tag attached to his group anyway. You should be starting to detect a pattern here. Joe Biden has repeatedly stated that “white supremacists” or “MAGA Republicans” and “domestic terrorists” are the greatest threat the country faces. The problem is, the supply of actual conservative domestic terrorists massively lags behind the demand for them inside the White House. So Christopher Wray appears to be doing his level best to invent some just to make Biden’s claims look less far-fetched.

Jordan also introduced the FBI’s “Domestic Terrorism Symbols Guide.” The “symbols” that the agency seeks out to investigate domestic terror targets online include “#2a,” which represents the second amendment. Also on the list were the “Betsy Ross Flag” and the yellow “Gadsden Flag.” He ordered Christopher Wray to produce “a full and complete explanation as to why the FBI’s Domestic Terrorism Strategic Unit did not include symbols, images, phrases, events, and individuals about left-wing violent extremism.”

For more on what the FBI has been up to, check out this report of a woman from New Jersey who was never anywhere near Washington on January 6, but had the FBI show up at her door one morning. They demanded her private communications and said they were there because of “an anonymous tip” that she had been part of the Capitol Hill riot. Isn’t the general approach of the FBI to learn of possible crimes that may have been committed and conduct an investigation into potential suspects to find evidence before they show up to roust them out of their beds? Apparently, that’s not the case since Joe Biden took over.

Let’s hope that more whistleblowers come forward and a way is found to get rid of Wray and clean house at the FBI. The entire Bureau has turned into a dangerous farce at this point.
