I can’t discuss details, but there is a settlement conference scheduled with me and FBI representatives at the end of this month. After having my income suddenly suspended indefinitely a year ago without warning because I was targeted by a poison pen operation executed on me by a domestic violent extremist, who continues to slander me on his X feed in the open media, while I’ve never slandered him, while I was already on sick leave trying to recover from severe PTSD incurred from all of the retaliation I’ve suffered for just doing my job, even with a disability, I will go financially insolvent by the end of this month, including my retirement and emergency savings. All of my credit cards are maxed out and frozen. I can’t get any loans because my credit is now ruined. I’m not approved by the Bureau to work anywhere else, and I’m still trying to get disability benefits to no avail. It’s basically been like being on house arrest. All I did was fight tooth and nail to preserve our nation and tell the truth to Congress and The People in the most responsible way possible. Well, my management didn’t want the truth getting out, so they covered it up by destroying my professional life and reputation.

As retaliation,, they clandestinely targeted me to be dissolved using psychological warfare tactics involving social isolation and depletion of resources, group shunning, group harassment and group scapegoating, while I continue to experience physical surveillance of my home, me and my family with no protection, after being exposed on the media to millions of people.

 Despite repeatedly asking and sending letters to the Bureau’s Internal Affairs, Congress and even the Inspector General, I’ve still never been interciewed by FBI investigators regarding the illegal retaliation carried out on me in secret in their attempt to cover up the misdeeds of my management. They closed the case on their own managers regarding violation of my protected status, while keeping the investigation open on me in perpetuity funded by taxpayers, the very people I sacrificed my career for to protect.

I thought the Bureau was better than this. It breaks my heart, but I still retain hope there will be a shred of compassion given to me after a long line of vicious attacks in this settlement conference  here they have an opportunity to save face and avert yet another black eye to the Bureau, at a time when restoring the American People’s faith in its mission is More important than ever!

One can hope, as I fight for my retirement and ability to support myself and 5 kids, after losing my career of 16 years as an FBI special agent, a job I loved. Now, I’m starting all over again at 47 years old and may never be able to find complimentary work again in this highly specialized field where there is only ONE FBO and my security clearance has been suspended as retaliation, preventing me from working at any national security position unless restored.

Fingers crossed I’ll finally get some kind of break, from all of the ruthless stonewalling and harassment that has spanned three years since I submitted my first whistleblower complaint to Internal Affairs.

Please sign my petition to help prevent this from happening to other agents just because their hard work and honest reporting happens to be used later on for political purposes contrary to their biased manager’s preferred political faction. Please also ask your friends to sign this petition as a strong message against crony deep state corruption and bias that occurs on secret behind classified doors.

It’s not just about me. It’s about protecting our dedicated and brave citizens serving as FBI agents to uphold our laws and protect our national security. If the FBI fails at being effective at countering public corruption and political bias within the walls of our Lady Justice, the rest of the country will fall into, and remain, in an authoritarian government.  

My hope is that this petition, with enough willing signatures, will send a strong enough message to the executives in the Bureau and our government officials to get their attention and force reform and protection of me and other brave would be insiders who sound the alarm about corruption and political bias among managers in the Bureau. One can hope.
