‘Target On Their Backs': Ex-FBI Agent Explains Why More Feds Don't Speak Up About Abuses

[Daily Caller] Former FBI agent Nicole Parker said Thursday many FBI agents do not speak up about abuses by the agency because it would put a "target on their backs."

"I watched it very closely because I was just in their shoes in February when I testified before the same committee. You know, I understand their security clearances were pulled," Parker told Fox News host Martha MacCallum. "I don’t know the exact details of that, but I know without a security clearance as an FBI agent, you can’t do your job. When you feel like your security clearance is being pulled because it’s the FBI’s way or the highway, that’s not a good position to be in."

Parker testified during a Feb. 9 hearing of the House Judiciary Committee’s Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government about how she believed the agency became "politically weaponized."

Garrett O’Boyle, Stephen Friend and Marcus Allen testified at a hearing held by the select subcommittee Thursday about retaliation they faced after they raised concerns about FBI activities, noting their security clearances had been suspended, resulting in them losing their pay and health benefits.

"I want to ask you something, just a rhetorical question: Have you ever seen a whistle-blower who is a rank and file agent, who is not a rank and file agent, excuse me? Ever seen an executive from the FBI come forward? Ever see somebody in a management position come forward?" Parker asked.

"There are rank and file agents and I’m telling you there’s current and former employees that feel exactly the same as these whistle-blowers feel that testified today. They feel the same I do. They don’t feel they’re at the liberty to speak up because they need the pension," Parker said. "They’ve worked hard... in their career. They deserve that pension. They don’t want the target on their back. Look what has happened to many people who have spoken up. There’s retaliation. It’s uncomfortable for their families. It ruins their families’ lives. Can you blame them?"

#2 That's a real shame, being targeted by sleazy bosses and all and we're all real, real sorry for you.

The equation is actually quite simple. A moment of COL Travis clarity you might say. You either are loyal to the Law as it is written or the caprice and whim of your superiors.

This isn't a case of 'Lt's and CPT's ought not horse the Sgt Maj around during coffee time'. This about the Law pure and simple.

Somebody somewhere, God only knows he's not to found in that DC sewer, needs to give this some thought. Is this really the kind of country you want to live in? Because bureaucratic consideration or not Americans are not stupid. Law selectively applied is no Law at all.

Voila, you enter the world of extra legal solutions. Such invisible social lines are maintained by cooperation and sustaining beliefs. Once crossed they are historically not easily regained.

So, I guess they need to quit their bitching and make a damned decision. Don't worry we will all still be watching.
