Washington - FBI The Capitol Uprising on January 6The largest criminal investigation in the agency's history has replaced it with the biggest crisis that could be.
Last week, the Justice Department's Trump allies ordered the FBI to send a nationwide questionnaire to identify the Jan. 6 investigation and included in the leadership review. The action is here President Trump's pardon On January 6, about 1,500 were defendants about immediately after taking office.
The FBI then handed over a list of about 5,000 people to information such as employee IDs and titles.
However, the lawsuit Submitted by two groups of anonymous FBI agents A federal judge appointed Thursday in Washington, D.C. Temporarily blocked The Justice Department has disclosed information about these agents to any other federal entity or external group until further debate has been heard in this case.
"We just have a lot of unknowns and it feels like no one supports us," said an agent on the list, speaking with CBS News on anonymous Thursday as they fear retaliation from the Department of Justice's new leadership.
"Personally, I've lost sleep for it," the broker investigated the broker for the January 6 case.
The agent said filling out the questionnaire was “frustrated” and they felt “beat”.
"We all feel beaten, not, actually nothing," the agent added.
Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove issued the initial directive in the January 31 memorandum. In a follow-up letter to FBI employees on Wednesday, Bauff wrote: “The risk of no FBI employees simply following orders and performing their duties ethically in a Jan. 6 investigation is the risk of termination or other fines. ”
But the work of reviewing these FBI employees and storm hovering and their work on cases that generated more than 1,000 guilt debates and 100% conviction rates in jury trials has produced shocking information.
Agents also want to know whether forward agents will “allow choices” to surveys based on their “comfort”.
When asked if the Trump administration’s demand for the roster might scare agents to file certain cases in the future, they replied: “Absolutely.”
"I mean, we are all humans," the agent said.
In addition, the attorney who testified or signed to public court documents is concerned about revenge from the accused of riots or their sympathizers.
“With men and women who go out every day, stay away from their families and put their lives out, these pardoned defendants are almost put on a pedestal that is more patriotic and loyal to the country,” the agent said.
The FBI Agents Association, which represents thousands of active and retired agents, said agents who are investigating a fatal intermediate collision near Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C. briefly canceled the response to fill out the questionnaire. Then return to the crash site.
