The fate of thousands of FBI officials remains in balance, because the Ministry of Justice required that they are fulfilling a questionnaire on any involvement in the investigation on January 6, 2021, US Capitol Riot, a move that employees believe be a precursor of mass layoffs.
The unusual request for FBI employees to explain their role in an investigation comes when CNN has reported that the Ministry of Justice of President Donald Trump plans to develop his office of office.
However, a considerable decline is welcomed, including potential prosecution and legal advice to agents who urged them not to resign. The best agent of the FBI New York field office, on the other hand, told his colleagues that he was digging a fox hole to protect them.
“Do not resign and do not suggest you resign,” said the FBI agents association with members in an email obtained by CNN. “Although we never plead for physical non-compliance, you must be clear that your deletion is not voluntary.”
In addition, lawyers for prosecutors and FBI agents called for the possible rejection of employees who worked on Trump surveys a “violation of the rights of the regular procedure” and threatened with legal proceedings in a letter to the senior officials of Doj Sunday evening.
“If you carry out layoffs and / or public exposure of the identities of dismissed employees, we are ready to justify their rights by all the legal means available,” the lawyers wrote to Emil Bove, an interim vice-prosecutor.
The letter warns that if the names of the agents become public, they would be subject to an “immediate risk of doxer, blurring, harassment or perhaps worse”.
Lawyer Mark Zaid; Norm Eisen, Executive President of the State Democracy Defenders Fund; And retired federal judge Nancy Gertner signed the letter to Bove.
The letter occurs a week after the Ministry of Justice dismissed more than a dozen officials who worked on federal criminal surveys on Trump. A letter from the Acting Attorney General, James MCHENRY, to the officials, said that they could not trust the “faithfully” implementation of Trump’s agenda.
In addition to the DOJ sent questionnaire, FBI managers were invited to provide information on Tuesday on all current and former employees of the office who “at any time” worked on the January 6 inquiries.
During his first day in power, Trump published a forgiveness for covers to those arrested and sentenced for their roles in the violent riot of the American Capitol.
The most passionate answer may have been from James Dennehy, the senior director of the FBI New York field office, who told his staff that he was preparing to “dig” to defend them.
CNN has obtained a copy of the Dennehy e-mail, which reads in part:
