In recent months, a surprising twist of events in the U.S. federal bureaucracy has arisen, stirring a sense of unease. The Miami Field Office Special Agent in Charge (SAC) leading an investigation into the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump within a span of two months is Jeffrey Veltri, an FBI agent displaying supposed bias against Trump. Many are questioning the transparency and credibility of this process.

The Empower Oversight organization, renowned for representing several government whistleblowers, is inundated with calls for congressional testimony and pursuing retaliation claims. They even recently launched a defamation action against Hunter Biden’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell, on behalf of IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler.

It’s important to remember former FBI operative Marcus Allen who found himself at the receiving end of tremendous retaliation after questioning some activities within the agency. He was suspended without pay after forwarding public articles addressing the FBI’s response to violence at the Capitol to his colleagues as part of his duty for “situational awareness.” This led to loss of his security clearance and huge financial strain due to restriction on alternate sources of income while under suspension.

Shockingly still, this situation with Allen only seems like just one portion from a larger ice-berg. The Empower Oversight organization presented a detailed 22-page document before House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan which outlined several ways in which SecD violated regulations relating to handling Allen’s case along with that of another Special Agent Garrett O’Boyle.

However, it does not stop there; investigators probing these cases who resisted these disciplinary actions also faced retaliatory measures from then-acting Deputy Assistant Director Jeffrey Veltri. This significant evidence points towards alleged politicization that went beyond individual cases but percolated even through an executive order regarding security clearance processes.

A highly anticipated hearing will take place on September 25 where Tristan Leavitt – president of Empower Oversight – and Marcus Allen will testify before the Weaponization Committee along with Michael Horowitz, the DOJ Inspector General. The hearing promises to illuminate the wrongdoings that undermined the integrity of surveillance apparatus within federal agencies.

Various excerpts from Leavitt’s letter accuse Veltri of probing the political beliefs and personal medical decisions of FBI employees in his capacity at SecD while labeling those affiliated with conservative viewpoints as unfit for duty – a gross misuse of authority that raises eyebrows to anyone upholding a Christian worldview or otherwise.

Whistleblower reports suggest an alarming trend – under Veltri’s supervision, evidence points towards alleged politicization where concerns were directly referred for investigation rather than being sent for assessment. This improper handling was even labeled as “abortion of process” by Veltri’s successor.

In another staggering claim, Veltri and Perkins were accused of suspending Allen’s clearance against a CIU investigator’s recommendation stating it unnecessary. Moreover, unspecified sources indicate that the decision was deliberately made when a legal advisor who might have opposed this suspension was on leave – signifying potential obstruction of process norms and making it even more concerning considering its implications for trusted news enforcement services.

Apart from these violations, a noteworthy point includes Mr. Allen’s belief system being challenged by Veltri allegedly on account of his devout Catholic faith; symbolically indicating a prejudiced perspective toward constitutionally protected First Amendment religious beliefs by individuals overseeing security clearance processes.

Indications are apparent that there had been attempts to selectively purge employees belonging to politically conservative perspectives only furthered by the use of so-called “Trump questionnaire.” These instances outline seeming misuse of power within organizations entrusted with delivering real news in society and uphold constitutional rights. However, despite all these allegations tied to him, Veltri is leading the international probe concerning an assassination attempt on former President Trump – raising questions around reliability and potential conflicts in his professional judgment.
