Whistleblower Stephen Friend was suspended from the FBI for refusing to participate in a raid on Jan. 6 suspects.
- Thirty former FBI agents have spoken out publicly in support of suspended FBI whistleblower Stephen Friend
- Their heartfelt messages, obtained exclusively by The Post, show a deep and widespread anguish about the politicization of the FBI.
'Moral courage'
- Terry Turchie, former deputy assistant director of the FBI's Counterterrorism Division, describes Friend as a model example of what FBI agents nationwide should be
- Five former SWAT team members in Friend's support group agree that raiding a nonviolent person on a misdemeanor offense was wrong and potentially dangerous
- The current use of SWAT teams has been outrageous
'A brave stand'
- Former Special Agent Dewanna Jackolski was damning about the current state of the Bureau: "FBI Agents pledged to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic [we] did not pledge unquestioning loyalty to any supervisor, director, President or political party."
- The oath does not state that we are to obey orders if those orders are being used to persecute individuals who disagree with the actions and policies of the politicians in power.
'A police force for the Dems'
- Terry Turchie, the FBI’s first head of counterterrorism, and a retired front-line agent of almost 30 years, feels it is his moral duty to support embattled FBI whistleblower Stephen Friend.
- More than 20 FBI whistleblowers have come forward to Republican members of Congress in recent months, and more are expected to follow.
