An FBI whistleblower told the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government that the FBI had him divide up domestic terrorism cases to juice the number.
FBI Special Agent Garret O’Boyle of the Kansas City field office claimed the agency had him divide one domestic terrorism case into “four different cases,” Fox News reported Thursday. Dividing cases of domestic terrorism into multiple subdivisions allowed the FBI to go to Congress and say “look at all the domestic terrorism we’ve investigated,” O’Boyle said.
“Where, really, I was working on one case,” O’Boyle continued. “But, the FBI can then say, well, he actually had four, and so we need you to give us more money because look at how big of a threat all this domestic terrorism is.”
