Allegations of FBI Retaliation

• 🎯 Congressman Thomas Massie shared a letter alleging the FBI is attempting to identify a whistleblower involved in the January 6th pipe bomb investigation.

• 📰 He also criticized some media reports regarding persons of interest as "grossly inaccurate" and misleading.

The Blaze Report and Gate Analysis

• 🧐 It's argued that it would be in Bongino's career interest to validate reports of an inside job if they were true, but he is publicly stating the reporting is inaccurate.
• ⚖️ Bongino is seen as going with the facts he has as Deputy Director, rather than "wild conjecture."
• 🧐 The discussion also touches on broader criticisms of the FBI and January 6th events, with a distinction made between criticizing law enforcement and accepting unsubstantiated reports.
