In a recent report by Just The News, it has been revealed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has been engaging in politically motivated questioning during a top-secret security clearance review for one of its long-time employees.
According to the report, witnesses were asked about the employee’s support for former President Donald Trump, their stance on the COVID-19 vaccine, and their attendance at a Second Amendment rally.
This news has caused outrage among conservative circles, with many seeing it as yet another example of the weaponization of government agencies against supporters of former President Trump.
Republican Rep. Jim Jordan, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, retweeted the article and expressed his concern by saying, “It just keeps getting worse.”
It just keeps getting worse:

This is just one instance in a series of politically motivated actions taken by the FBI.
The security clearance review was conducted as part of an ongoing investigation into potential leaks from within the agency.
However, it seems that instead of focusing on actual security threats, the FBI chose to target employees based on their political beliefs and personal opinions.
LOOK:
This raises serious questions about the impartiality and professionalism of this once-respected agency.
The report also reveals that some employees were asked if they had attended any rallies or events related to gun rights or if they had expressed concerns about the COVID-19 vaccine.
These questions are not only intrusive but also irrelevant to an individual’s ability to obtain a security clearance.
This is not the first time that the FBI has come under fire for its handling of investigations involving supporters of former President Trump.
In 2016, the agency was criticized for its handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server. Many accused the FBI of being biased in favor of Clinton and trying to protect her from any potential consequences.
It is deeply concerning that the FBI, an agency that is supposed to be non-partisan and uphold the rule of law, would engage in such discriminatory tactics.
This goes against everything that America stands for – equality, fairness, and justice for all.
The targeting of Trump supporters by the FBI is a clear violation of their rights as American citizens.
It sends a message that if you do not align with the current administration’s ideology, you are not welcome in government agencies.
This kind of discrimination has no place in our society and must be condemned by all Americans.
In response to these allegations, an FBI spokesperson stated that “the agency does not ask questions about political beliefs or affiliations during security clearance investigations.”
However, this statement seems to contradict what witnesses have reported about their experience during the review process.
This report highlights the need for greater transparency and accountability within government agencies.
The American people deserve to know how their tax dollars are being used and whether their rights are being respected by those in positions of power.
