>> MR. ALLEN HAVE YOU USED
TWITTER?
YES OR NO?
>> I HAVE UTILIZED TWITTER.
>> IS YOUR ACCOUNT@?
>> THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT MY
ACCOUNT.
>> THAT IS NOT YOUR ACCOUNT?
ON DECEMBER 5TH, 2022 AN ACCOUNT
UNDER THE NAME MARCUS ALLEN
RETWEETED A TWEET.
YOU HAVEN’T LET ME FINISH THE
QUESTION.
THE TIME IS MINE.
ON DECEMBER 5TH, 2022 AN ACCOUNT
UNDER THE NAME OF MARCUS ALAN
RETWEETED A TWEET THAT SAID,
QUOTE, NANCY PELOSI STAGED
JANUARY 6TH.
RETWEET IF YOU AGREE, END QUOTE.
DO YOU AGREE WITH THAT
STATEMENT?
YES OR NO?

THAT IS NOT MY ACCOUNT AT ALL.
>> I AM ASKING WHETHER YOU AGREE
WITH THAT STATEMENT?
>> CAN YOU REPHRASE THE
STATEMENT?

>> I JUST WANT HIM TO ANSWER THE
QUESTION.

JANUARY 6?

>> THANK YOU.
>> IT IS NOT HIS ACCOUNT.
JOINING US NOW TO RESPOND IS THE
ATTORNEY REPRESENTING MARCUS
ALLEN AND THE IRS WHISTLEBLOWER
IN THE HUNTER BIDEN CASE,
TRISTEN LEVITT.
THANK YOU AND WELCOME ABOARD.
>> A PLEASURE TO BE HERE.
>> WHY IS THERE A DUAL JUSTICE
SYSTEM?
I DON’T HAVE ANY DOUBT IN MY
MIND THAT WE HAVE THAT.
>> THAT’S A COMPLICATED
QUESTION.
CLEARLY ONE OF THE FACTORS HAS
BEEN THAT THOSE THAT ARE IN THE
RULING PART OF THE FBI AND IN
OTHER PLACES HAVE A ONE PARTY
MIND, ONE IDEOLOGY AND ONE WAY
OF LOOKING AT THINGS.
THOSE THAT CHALLENGE THAT ARE
WILLING TO ATTACK.
>> HOW HARD IS IT FOR A
DECORATED COMBAT MARINE LIKE
MARCUS ALLEN TO HAVE THE FBI
QUESTIONING HIS ALLEGIANCE TO
HIS OWN COUNTRY?
A MAN THAT PUT HIS LIFE ON THE
LINE FOR ALL OF US IN IRAQ?
HOW DOES THAT FEEL FOR HIM?
>> IT IS VERY DISCONCERTING FOR
HIM.
HE IS DOING WHAT HE BELIEVES IS
RIGHT.
HE IS A PERSON OF FAITH.
HE IS GUIDED BY HIS CONSCIENCE.
HE HAS JUST BEEN TRYING TO PLAY
THIS STRAIGHT.
FOR THEM TO TREAT HIM THE WAY
THEY DID TO BEGIN WITH AND TO
HAVE THIS KIND OF TREATMENT
SUBSEQUENTLY, YOU SAW THAT
EXCHANGE WITH MS. SANCHEZ AND
THAT KIND OF TREATMENT IS
PRECISELY WHY HE OPTED TO NOT BE
INTERVIEWED BY THE DEMOCRATS
INITIALLY.
THIS IS HOW THEY TREATED STEVE
FRIEND AND GEORGE HILL.
HE SAW THEY RELEASED A REPORT
EXPLICITLY GOING AFTER THEM AND
SMEARING THESE INDIVIDUALS.
WHEN THEY ACT THAT WAY, IT TELLS
YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THEY ARE
AFTER.
FOR HIM IT HAS BEEN
DISCONCERTING.
>> YOUR CLIENT NOW HAS BEEN
SUSPENDED.
DO YOU BELIEVE THIS IS
RETALIATORY?
WHAT RECOURSE OR REMEDY MIGHT HE
HAVE?
>> WE ACTUALLY EMPOWER OVERSIGHT
WHICH I AM THE PRESIDENT THAT
REPRESENTS MARCUS ALLEN AND
STEVE FRIEND.
MR. ALLEN HAS HAD HIS CLEARANCE
SUSPENDED.
WE HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE OFFICE
OF INSPECTOR GENERAL.
THEY HAVE THE JURISDICTION WHICH
IS A WEAK PROCESS FOR
INVESTIGATING RETALIATION
THROUGH THE MEANS OF SUSPENSION
OF SECURITY CLEARANCE.
IT REQUIRES THAT THEY WAIT A
YEAR AFTER THAT HAPPENS.
HE HAS REACHED THE YEAR MARK.
HE IS AT 16 MONTHS WITHOUT A
PAYCHECK SINCE HIS CLEARANCE WAS
SUSPENDED.
WE ARE VERY HAPPY THAT THE DOJ
INSPECTOR GENERAL IS LOOKING AT
THAT.
THEY WILL BE INTERVIEWED
TOMORROW.
WE ARE CONFIDENT THEY WILL HELP
TO WRITE THINGS BECAUSE HIS IS A
VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD CASE OF
WHISTLEBLOWER RETALIATION.
>> DO YOU BELIEVE THE FBI AT THE
TOP LEADERSHIP IS NOW TRYING TO
STOP WHISTLEBLOWERS LIKE YOUR
CLIENT FROM COMING FORWARD TO
SILENCE THEM AND ARE THEY
INTIMIDATING THEM AND HARASSING
THEM AND VIOLATING WHISTLEBLOWER
PROTECTION LAWS?
>> YES TO THE FIRST THREE.
THE FOURTH ONE IS A LITTLE BIT
TRICKY.
THEY ARE USING SECURITY
CLEARANCES BECAUSE THAT’S A
METHOD THEY HAVE AVAILABLE TO
THEM.
OTHER AGENCIES HAVE DONE THAT
BEFORE IN MY CAREER WORKING ON
CAPITOL HILL AS AN INVESTIGATOR.
THE FBI IS AGGRESSIVELY USING
THE SUSPENSION OF CLEARANCES TO
GO AFTER WHISTLEBLOWERS.
PART OF THE REASON THEY DO THIS
IS BECAUSE THE FBI DOES NOT HAVE
STRONG WHISTLEBLOWER
PROTECTIONS.
WHEN THE MODERN ACT WAS PASSED
IN 1978 THE FBI WAS GIVEN AN
SPECIAL EXCEPTION.
NOT LONG AFTER J EDGAR HOOVER.
THEY HAVE HAD A LOT OF CLOUT.
OBVIOUSLY THE FRIENDS AND ALLIES
HAVE BEEN DIMINISHING AS THE
RECENT STRIPES HAVE COME TO
LIGHT.
THAT HAS ALLOWED THEM TO BE ABLE
TO GET AWAY WITH QUITE A BIT
