If this person's story is true, the FBI has violated the law by suspending him.
"...Special Agent Stephen M. Friend, who works for the FBI in Florida and serves as a SWAT team member, told the main federal whistleblower office in Washington he had an "exemplary" work record since he joined the bureau in 2014 and even won awards but was suspended in recent days after he began raising concerns about the FBI's and DOJ's conduct in the Jan. 6 investigation
"I believed the investigations were inconsistent with FBI procedure and resulted in the violation of citizens' Sixth and Eighth Amendment rights," Friend wrote. "I added that many of my colleagues expressed similar concerns to me but had not vocalized their objections to FBI Executive Management."
The FBI national press office did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent on Friday.
Friend said one of his many concerns is that the FBI is using SWAT teams to arrest Jan. 6 defendants facing misdemeanor charges, violating the bureau's Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide and creating a potentially unsafe encounter.
"I responded that it was inappropriate to use an FBI SWAT team to arrest a subject for misdemeanor offenses and opined that the subject would likely face extended detainment and biased jury pools in Washington D.C.," Friend wrote in his whistleblower complaint. "I suggested alternatives such as the issuance of a court summons or utilizing surveillance groups to determine an optimal, safe time for a local sheriff deputy to contact the subjects and advise them about the existence of the arrest warrant."
The agent said when he suggested alternatives for arresting suspects in minor Jan. 6 cases one of his bosses "told me that FBI executive management considered all potential alternatives and determined the SWAT takedown was the appropriate course of action."
Friend said he believes the Jan. 6 investigation has involved "overzealous charging by the DOJ and biased jury pools in Washington D.C." and that the heavy-handed tactics smacked of prior FBI mistakes like the Ruby Ridge tragedy in the 1990s...."
Anyone who is following Kim Clements prophecies, knows he prophesied all of this stuff a decade ago. A whistleblower apparently takes down much of the the FBI, DOJ, DNC, Biden/Obama corruption.
The stink has stunk for so long. It survived Trump and came back stronger than ever. Democrats and republicans alike have done their best to ignore it for so long that it has become entrenched and embolden.
Whistleblowers come in 3 varieties. Those who have dirt and know what they are talking about; those who think they have dirt and dont have a clue what they are talking about; and poor performers who fake whistle blowing in an attempt to save their jobs.
Remains to be seen here. Too soon to tell and not enough facts.

Yeah.
The curious thing to me is misdemeanors... Pretty much all the scoops from the 1/6 riots were looking at felony charges. Have they run out of the trespassing riot tourists (10 years, which is a felony)? No one is getting 10 years for riot tourism of course. The people that wandered in and took some selfies and wandered on out are copping plea deals and doing no time. Still, it's a felony charge they're getting arrested for unless. I hadn't heard they'd run out of those and were now picking up Jimmy who stood across the street with the bullhorn. I mean, you need a permit for one of those but I imagine that's just a misdemeanor.
