Report: Whistleblower Says FBI Used Threat Tag Created After Dobbs Ruling to Focus on Pro-Lifers

Katherine Hamilton 3 Mar 2023

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) allegedly used a threat tag it had initially created to track threats to the Supreme Court to focus on pro-life individuals, an FBI whistleblower told the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.

FBI Special Agent Garret O’Boyle, who worked from the Wichita Resident Agency in the Kansas City Field, said the threat tag, “THREATSTOSCOTUS2022.” which was made after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last summer, was “legitimate” because “threatening a Supreme Court official is a violation of a federal crime,” according to portions of a transcripts of O’Boyle’s Feb. 10 interview with the panel, obtained first by Fox News.

O’Boyle said the threat tag soon “shifted and began focusing in on pro-life adherence,” according to the report.

“When this threat tag came out, it was like, why are you focusing on pro-life people?” O’Boyle’s transcript allegedly reads. “It’s pro-choice people who are the ones protesting or otherwise threatening violence in front of Supreme Court justices’ houses.”

O’Boyle said the FBI wanted agents to “look into” pro-life pregnancy centers, which he said he was confused by because pregnancy resource centers were more likely to receive threats following the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, according to the report. O’Boyle also allegedly told the panel that he was instructed to ask a confidential human source, who he said was pro-life, “a bunch of questions about the threats to the Supreme Court.”

ACLJ Appears in Federal Appeals Court To Defend FBI Whistleblower O'Boyle

This coming Tuesday the ACLJ will be appearing in federal appeals court on behalf of FBI Special Agent Garret O’Boyle, who bravely blew the whistle on Deep State corruption within the agency that was targeting pro-lifers. Earlier this year the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled that O’Boyle’s case should proceed to the merits of his appeal. We are now appearing before that court to urge it to rule in O’Boyle’s favor and recognize the necessity of protecting his statutory and First Amendment rights.

The Biden Administration has made Agent O’Boyle’s life a nightmare, bringing down the full force of malicious Deep State retribution against him for standing up for the truth and exposing corruption and political bias. Because he followed the law to expose the FBI’s corruption to Congress, the FBI suspended O’Boyle’s security clearance. And because his security clearance was suspended, he was suspended without pay, barred from taking any other employment, and shuttled into administrative limbo. He was still an employee but unable to work or receive pay. This is what the Deep State FBI does. The FBI finds a way to take away whistleblowers’ security clearances so they can’t do their jobs and then suspends them without pay for no longer having a security clearance. And they’re not allowed to take outside employment.

Security clearances should not be able to be suspended in an act of retaliation against whistleblowers without any external review.  ...
