An FBI whistleblower has revealed to Congress that Deputy Director Paul Abbate threatened to fire agents and other bureau employees who said there were disparities in the responses to the U.S. Capitol riot in 2021 and the George Floyd riots in 2020.
Mr. Leavitt said that Mr. Abbate followed through with his threats, as is also alleged by other FBI employees who lost their jobs. According to this latest whistleblower affidavit, Mr. Abbate told the special agents in charge that the bureau’s response to the Capitol riot was consistent with the response to the Summer 2020 riots.
Mr. Leavitt said in his letter to congressional lawmakers and Mr. Horowitz that “Abbate’s threat to employees was witnessed by numerous other FBI employees and constitutes evidence of intent to retaliate against any dissent. … This evidence can be independently corroborated by dozens, if not hundreds, of other FBI employees.”
The median sentence for those getting jail time is about 60 days, according to an analysis by National Public Radio.
