BREAKING: FBI Whistleblower has submitted the below statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee alleging that the FBI suppressed investigations into Rudy Giuliani and other Trump allies.
- As detailed in the Whistleblower statement below (video), and reported on by Business Insider, this current agent was told repeatedly by his superiors to stop investigating multiple individuals in Trump's orbit.
- According to the statement, the FBI agent acquired intelligence from undisclosed sources, indicating that Giuliani had purportedly undertaken compensated assignments for Pavel Fuks, a Ukrainian oligarch and a designated "asset of the Russian intelligence services." (Note that Rolling Stone had reported this previously.)
- The agent reports that he had also provided material to the FBI regarding Hunter Biden and Burisma. He reports that superiors were "delighted that I had collected this information about Burisma." This same superior is who allegedly shut down his investigations into Giuliani and others.
- In January of last year, he filed an internal complaint under the Whistleblower Protection Act which alleged that "numerous acts of intelligence suppression of my reporting related to foreign influence and the Capital riots, retaliatory acts and defamation of my own character."
- The agent also alleged that Giuliani raised money to create a film about Joe Biden prior to the election, but never created it.
- The agent alleged that the New York field office of the FBI was upset about the material he was reporting: "In the midst of my reporting involving Giuliani, which had previously been identified by my supervisor as 'high impact,' my management told me they received a call from a supervisor in [the New York field office], who they did not identify," the statement says. "This supervisor had taken issue with my reporting."
I think we can all agree that transparency is important and all whistleblower claims, both about Biden and Trump investigations should thoroughly be examined.
Thoughts?

‘Nazis didn’t fall out of the sky in January ’33’: The Holocaust Museum’s director on warning signs of fascism.
“One of the things I think the museum teaches is that human nature is capable of a lot of bad things…”
“…a lot of people who didn’t originally have anti-Semitic views participated in the murder of Jews. What makes people do that? Complicit in a crime when they didn’t even share the ideology originally?”
“Some of our research shows very ordinary things, like greed. They were going to get career advancement, or they were going to benefit from plunder or for peer approval. We all know how to rationalize our behavior.”
“I worry about what I think is a real decline in the teaching of good history…incredibly important if we want to create an engaged, responsible citizenry.
This is an excellent read on how the fascists got a grip on ordinary people in Germany making the Holocaust possible. #History

BREAKING: Democracy scores a big win as it's revealed that Trump-appointed hack Judge Aileen Cannon will not be presiding over the indicted ex-president's arraignment in the classified documents case.
The case was randomly assigned to Cannon but the arraignment will now instead be handled by Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman — meaning Cannon will not be given the opportunity to give special treatment to the man who gave her her job when he's arraigned.
That said, The Miami Herald reports that Cannon still has NOT been removed from the case entirely and will remain the lead judge outside of the arraignment.
If true, this is an utterly unacceptable state of affairs. Cannon has a responsibility to recuse herself from this case entirely and if she fails to do so she must be removed through legal means.
Democracy is at stake.
RT and ❤️ if want Judge Cannon removed entirely from the case— and consider joining the exodus to new Twitter competitor https://t.co/w3Mt5NkJBE. Elon Musk banned their Twitter account, but he hasn’t yet banned this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX

The #StudentDebtCRA doesn’t only block @POTUS’ cancellation plan, but it also reverses the payment pause.
“Regardless of your feelings about student debt cancellation, that is a slap in the face to middle class families, to working families, everywhere in the country,” -@ewarren
