This just in: A questionnaire reportedly sent to thousands of FBI employees is raising eyebrows. The document, part of a lawsuit filed by nine FBI agents and staff, probes the extent of agents’ involvement in the January 6th Capitol riot investigation.
The questionnaire asks detailed questions, including whether agents testified in trials and their last investigation-related activity. Multiple sources have confirmed seeing the document.
The FBI confirmed it provided the Justice Department with a list of personnel involved in the January 6th investigations, meeting a pre-set deadline. This list includes identifying information, job titles, and specific roles in the investigation for thousands of employees.
The questionnaire delves into agents’ roles in grand jury subpoenas, collaboration with other field offices, and their status as case agents.
Concerns have been raised about potential chilling effects on the FBI’s work, including impacts on its field offices. However, a retired FBI agent believes the ongoing investigations followed established guidelines and legal procedures.
Former President Trump recently criticized the FBI, calling it “corrupt,” while expressing confidence in his nominee for FBI director. Currently, there are no reported plans for widespread removals or disciplinary actions against agents involved in the January 6th investigation.
