>> REMEMBER WHEN THIS COUNTRY
USED TO BELIEF IN
WHISTLEBLOWERS?
IF YOU BLEW THE WHISTLE, YOU GOT
BOOK DEALS AND "60 MINUTES"
INTERVIEWS AND FREE DINNERS FOR
LIFE.
IF YOU BLOW THE WHISTLE AGAINST
BIDEN, YOU GET THROWN OUT IN THE
STREET AND THE LEFT ASSASSINATES
YOUR CHARACTER.
THESE WHISTLEBLOWERS THAT
TESTIFIED TODAY HAD THIS TO SAY
ABOUT THE FBI.
>> MY OATH DID NOT INCLUDE
SACRIFICING THE HOPES, DREAMS
AND LIVELIHOODS OF MY FAMILY.
FBI FASHION THE FBI ALLOWED ME
TO ACCEPT ORDERS TO A NEW
POSITION HALF WAY ACROSS THE
COUNTRY.
THEY AALLOWED TO SELL HOME.
REPORT TO THE UNIT WHEN OUR
YOUNGEST DAUGHTER WAS 2 WEEKS
OLD.
FIRST DAY ON THE NEW ASSIGNMENT,
THEY SUSPENDED ME, RENDERING MY
FAMILY HOMELESS.
THEY REFUSED TO RELEASE OUR
GOODS, INCLUDING OUR CLOTHES FOR
WEEKS.
ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS SERVE MY
COUNTRY BY STOPPING BAD GUYS AND
PROTECTING THE INNOCENT.
>> Jesse: THE FBI MADE ONE OF
THEIR OWN GUYS HOMELESS, WHY?
BECAUSE HE BLEW THE WHISTLE ON
THE FBI COOKING THE BOOKS.
>> THE WHISTLEBLOWERS HERE
BEFORE US TODAY HAVE DESCRIBED
INCENTIVE BASED PAYMENTS RELATED
TO INCREASING NUMBER OF CRIMINAL
INVESTIGATIONS.
THIS SOUNDS EERILY SIMILAR TO
THE SAINTS BOUNTY CASE.
YOU REMEMBER THAT THAT SCANDAL
COACHES WOULD PLAY PLAYERS CASH
BONUSES FOR HITS THAT WOULD
RESULT IN INJURIES TO OTHER
PLAYERS AND THE HEAD COACH WAS
SUSPENDED FOR AN ENTIRE SEASON.
SOMEBODY AT THE FBI NEEDS TO BE
SUSPENDED.
>> Jesse: THE MORE CASES AN FBI
FIELD OFFICE HAD THE BIGGER THE
END OF THE YEAR CASH BONUS WAS
FOR WHOEVER WAS IN CHARGE OF THE
OFFICE.
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED?
THE FBI OPENED CASES ON EVERYONE
FOR ANYTHING.
IF YOU JUST HAPPEN TO BE IN D.C.
ON JANUARY 6TH, YOU PROBABLY HAD
A FILE OPENED ON YOU.
HAVE A CERTAIN FLAG FLYING
OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE?
THE FBI HAND BOOK SAYS YOU’RE A
TERRORIST.
>> THAT GUIDE IDENTIFIED CERTAIN
THINGS THAT MADE PEOPLE MORE
LIKELY TO BE DEEMED A THREAT OR
TERRORIST, DIDN’T IT?
>> YES.
>> WAS THE BETSY ROSS FLAG IN
THE TERRORISM SYMBOL GUIDE?
>> IT WAS.
>> AND WHAT ABOUT THE BETSY ROSS
FLAG MAKES SOMEONE MORE LIKELY
TO BE A VIOLENT EXTREMIST?
>> I WISH THERE WAS A REASONABLE
EXPLANATION FOR THAT.
>> AND INSTEAD OF CRACKING DOWN
ON REAL CRIMINALS, FBI OFFICERS
GOT SENT INTO SCHOOL PARKING
LOTS.
>> YOU USED TO GO AFTER THE
WORST OF THE WORST, DIDN’T YOU?
>> YES, I BELIEVE SO.
>> YOU WENT AFTER PEOPLE THAT
LOOKED AT CHILD PORN?
>> YES.
>> AND THEN YOU WERE IN THE
PARKING LOT OF A SCHOOL BOARD
MEETING TAKING DOWN THE
INFORMATION OF PARENTS.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CASES THAT
YOU WERE WORKING TO PROTECT OUR
COMMUNITIES FROM THE WORST
PREDATORS THAT EXIST?
>> I WAS TOLD THEY WERE NOT TO
BE RESOURCED AND THEN AFTER I
WAS SUSPENDED, THEY WERE HANDED
OFF TO LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT.
>> WOW, SO, THE FBI JUST DECIDED
IT WAS MORE IMPORTANT TO HAVE
YOU IN THAT PARKING LOT OF THAT
SCHOOL BOARD MEETING THAN
GETTING THE WORST OF THE WORST
AWAY FROM PEOPLE THAT THEY COULD
HARM?
>> THAT’S CORRECT.
>> Jesse: NOW IF THE FBI SAYS
WHITE SUPREMACY IS THE NUMBER
ONE THREAT TO DEMOCRACY, THEN
THE FBI CAN MAKE A FORTUNE
INVESTIGATING EVERYTHING, A
PARENT, A FLAG WAIVER, A
CATHOLIC, A GUN OWNER, YOU NAME
IT.
IT’S OPEN SEASON ON ALL OF US.
ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS OPEN UP
AN INVESTIGATION AND THEY GET
PAID FOR IT.
BUT IF YOU TRY TO BLOW THE
WHISTLE THEN YOU GET YOUR WHOLE
LIFE TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU.
>> ONE OF YOUR REALLY GOOD
FRIENDS, YOUR FORMER COLLEAGUES
CAME TO YOU AND SAID ITCH THIS
THING THAT IS BEING COVERED UP
AND I THINK THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT, WHAT
ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE THEM.
>> I WOULD ADVISE THEM NOT TO DO
IT.
THE FBI WILL CRUSH YOU.
THIS GOVERNMENT WILL CRUSH YOU.
AND YOUR FAMILY IF YOU TRY TO
EXPOSE THE TRUTH ABOUT THINGS
THAT THEY ARE DOING THAT ARE
WRONG.
AND WE ARE ALL EXAMPLES OF THAT.
>> Jesse: TWO OF THE FBI
WHISTLEBLOWERS FROM TODAY’S
HEARING IN CONGRESS STEVE FRIEND
AND GARRETT OWE BOIL JOIN US NOW
ALONG WITH CONGRESSMAN JIM
JORDAN GARRETT WE HAVE EVIDENCE
THAT THEY WERE HANDING OUT CASH
BONUSES FOR THE INVESTIGATION
THESE OPENED?
>> TO SOME DEGREE, YES.
IT’S A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED
THAN THAT THERE IS A SYSTEM IN
THE FBI WHERE THE EXECUTIVE
MANAGEMENT DOES GET THE CASH
BONUS IF THEY GET GOLD CHECK
MARKS IN CERTAIN CRITERIAS.
>> Jesse: SO YOU ARE NOT
ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR CRIME?
IN A WAY YOU ARE CREATING CRIME?
>> IN A WAY, YES.
>> AND DO YOU BELIEVE THAT BY
DESIGNATING WHITE SUPREMACY AS
THE TOP TERRORIST DOMESTIC
THREAT IN THE COUNTRY KIND MUCH
ALLOWED THE BUREAU TO, I DON’T
KNOW, OPEN UP INVESTIGATIONS ON
PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING AND
EVERYBODY?
>> IT CERTAINLY HELPED.
>> AND HOW DO YOU FEEL HOW DOES
YOUR FAMILY FEEL AFTER YOU GUYS
HAVE GONE THROUGH ALL OF THIS?
>> WE’RE JUST TRYING TO DO THE
RIGHT THING FOR THIS NATION AND
IF THAT MEANS EVEN BECOMING
HOMELESS AT THE HANDS OF THE
FBI, THEN WE’RE WILLING TO DO
IT.
WE’RE WILLING TO SACRIFICE THAT.
>> Jesse: DO YOU THINK THE FBI
CAN BE SALVAGED?
SAVED?
WHAT?
>> I PRAY THAT IT CAN BE.
BUT I DON’T KNOW IF IT TRULY CAN
BE.
IT’S GOING TO TAKE A LOT OF
WORK.
IT’S GOING TO TAKE A LOT OF
BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN INSIDE THE
FBI AND OUTSIDE THE FBI TO
ENSURE THAT IT GETS BACK ON
COURSE.
AND WORKING FOR THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE IN THE WAY IT’S SUPPOSED
TO.
>> Jesse: STEVE, YOU HAVE BEEN
ON "PRIMETIME" BEFORE.
ARE THERE ENOUGH AGENTS IN THE
BUREAU THAT HAVE A GOOD HEART
AND HAVE SOME STONES AND ARE
GOING TO BE ABLE TO STAND UP TO
THIS CRAZINESS?
>> I THINK THAT ARE A LOT OF
REALLY GOOD PEOPLE THAT ARE JUST
WAITING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED.
WHAT WAS BROUGHT TO THE
FOREFRONT TODAY DURING THIS
HEARING AND I THINK THAT GARRETT
AND MYSELF AND MARCUS ALLEN, WE
BROUGHT THE INFORMATION.
THE CERTAINLY THE REPUBLICANS ON
THE COMMITTEE WERE VERY
RECEPTIVE TO THAT INFORMATION.
AND WE SORT OF LAID THE
GROUNDWORK FOR PEOPLE TO FEEL
THAT THEY CAN BE PROTECTED IF
WHISTLEBLOWERS -- FOR THE
PROTECTION THAT WE DIDN’T
RECEIVE BUT NOW THAT THE
REPUBLICANS IN THE HOUSE ARE ON
ALERT FOR THAT THEY HAVE THOSE
PROTECTION AND BRING INFORMATION
FORWARD TO THE SELECT COMMITTEE
AND GET TO THE BUSINESS OF
CORRECTING THE BUREAU.
>> Jesse: DO YOU THINK AND I
KNOW YOU ARE NOT A POLITICAL GUY
DO YOU THINK YOU WERE TREATED
WITH RESPECT BY MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE WHO WERE DEMOCRATS
TODAY?
>> I MEAN, I DON’T THINK THAT
YOU COULD ARGUE THAT I WAS.
THERE WAS ALLEGATIONS THAT I WAS
A GRIFTER, WHEN, IN FACT, I
RECEIVED A CHARITABLE DONATION
WHEN I WAS IN A STATE OF UNPAID
INDEFINITE SUSPENSION.
MY WIFE HAD LOST HER JOB AND IT
WAS CHRISTMAS TIME.
SO I DON’T THINK THAT ACCEPTING
CHARITY IS SOMETHING I WAS PROUD
TO DO, CERTAINLY WHEN I TOOK MY
MARRIAGE VOWS AND I PROMISED
THAT I WOULD TAKE CARE OF MY
WIFE AND OUR CHILDREN FROM THAT
DAY FORWARD, THAT WAS NOTHING
THAT MADE ME EXCITED AND PROUD
TO ACCEPT.
IN TOUGH TIMES YOU HAVE TO COUNT
ON THE GENEROSITY OF OTHERS.
I THINK ANY SORT OF ALLEGATION
THAT I GAVE UP A VERY LUCRATIVE
CAREER IN ORDER TO ACCEPT A
DONATION SEVERAL MONTHS LATER
FROM AN INDIVIDUAL WHO I HAVE
NEVER MET IN MY ENTIRE LIFE IS
QUITE FRANKLY LAUGHABLE.
>> Jesse: CONGRESSMAN.
THE FBI IS PLAYING HARD BALL.
AND NOW THEY ARE FIRING
WHISTLEBLOWERS, ESSENTIALLY,
MAKING THEM HOMELESS.
THE DEMOCRATS ARE ASSASSINATING
THEIR CHARACTER.
THE MEDIA IS NOT EVEN COVERING.
THIS DO YOU THINK THE FBI IS
GOING TO GET AWAY WITH THIS ARE
YOU EVEN GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER
WHISTLEBLOWER FROM THE BUREAU?
>> I THINK SO BECAUSE OF THESE
BRAVE GUYS.
JESSE, WE NOW KNOW THAT
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES HAVE BEEN
TURNED ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
BECAUSE OF FOLKS LIKE
MR. O’BOYLE AND MR. FRIEND AND
OTHERS JUST LIKE THEM.
WE KNOW THAT PARENTS ATTENDING
SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS HAVE BEEN
TARGETED.
PRO-LIFERS PRAYING AT CLINICS
HAVE BEEN TARGETED.
CATHOLICS SIMPLY GOING TO
CHURCH, GOING TO MASS HAVE BEEN
TARGETED BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE
THIS.
I DO THINK MORE WILL COME
FORWARD AND THAT WILL HELP US AS
WE GET TO THE APPROPRIATIONS
PROCESS WHICH IS WHERE WE REALLY
HAVE THE LEVERAGE.
WE CAN SAY LOOK, YOU ARE GOING
TO DO THINGS LIKE THIS YOU?
ARE GOING TO ATTACK GOOD MEN WHO
HAVE SERVED OUR COUNTRY LIKE
THESE GUYS, THEN WE HAVE TO LOOK
AT THE APPROPRIATIONS PROCESS
CERTAIN MONEY CAN’T BE SPENT
CERTAIN WAYS YOU MAY NOT BE
GETTING AS MUCH MONEY.
THAT’S THE ONLY REAL LEVERAGE WE
HAVE IN THE END AS A LEGISLATIVE
BODY WE CAN’T INDICT OR
PROSECUTE ANYONE.
>> Jesse: YOU NEED THE SENATE
AND THE WHITE HOUSE TO GET THAT
DONE.
STEVE, GARRETT, YOU GUYS ARE
INCREDIBLY BRAVE.
YOU ARE PATRIOTS.
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALL OF
THE SERVICE THAT YOU HAVE
PROVIDED TO THIS GREAT NATION
OVER THESE MANY, MANY, MANY
YEARS AND MY BEST GOES TO YOU
AND YOUR FAMILY DURING THIS
TOUGH TIME.
