FBI Whistleblower Garret O'Boyle has now been indefinitely suspended without pay for over two years. The FBI continues to retaliate against him and his family with every day that passes. Since his powerful testimony in May of 2023, the retaliation has only increased. Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett and her boss Congressman Jerrold Nadler referred Garret to the Department of Justice (what an Orwellian name that has become), three weeks after his testimony, for criminal charges. Even though Garret made protected disclosures to Congress, Congress now engaged in retaliating against him too.

A few months later, information was published regarding new FBI Whistleblowers. These brave whistleblowers were embedded in the belly of the beast of the FBI's retaliatory system; the FBI's dishonorable Security Division (SecD). These whistleblowers came forward with information showing that the FBI acted in retaliatory fashion towards not just Garret, but others whistleblowers too, and that the FBI was purging its ranks of military veterans, conservatives, and Christians. Garret puts a checkmark in all of those boxes so there is no wonder that he was retaliated against in such egregious fashion.

As the months wore on, the retaliation only continued. In February 2024, Garret received a notice from the FBI informing him that his health insurance had been rescinded. He was also slapped with a bill for the thousands of dollars of withholding to pay for the previous months of insurance since it could not be extracted from his non-existent pay. Garret also was forced to pay a "tax bill" related to the transfer to Virginia that never happened. It is beyond clear that the tyrants in the FBI and DOJ are continuing to do their utmost to "financially devastate" (as the SECD Whistleblower put it) the O'Boyle family.

In May 2024, the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General published a memorandum which showed, based on their own investigation, that the FBI was violating whistleblower protection statutes with how they conducted security clearance suspensions when whistleblower retaliation complaints were made by employees, such as is the case with Garret. Bringing the strong suspicion that Garret and his attorneys held that the FBI was trying to pin something criminal on him to a full certainty, Liz Aloi, the Chief of the DOJ's Public Corruption and Civil Rights Section contacted Garret's attorneys in June 2024 and notified them via letter that Garret was no longer being looked at criminally, but they reserved their right to try again int he future. In July, the FBI finally revoked Garret's clearance.

The day Garret received the revocation letter, his attorneys notified the FBI of our intent to appeal their decision. The agency is supposed to produce "the agency file," which allegedly contains all the information gathered to support their decision to revoke his clearance. As of mid-October 2024, the FBI has failed to produce the agency file. In September 2024, new whistleblower information from FBI investigators who were assigned to, and/or associated with, Garret's internal investigation made clear that senior ranking FBI officials Jeffry Veltri and Dena Perkins used Garret's transfer to Virginia "and interview him on his first day in the new assignment as a means to surprise him into some sort of confession." Furthermore, one of the internal investigators "already believed that [Garret] had disclosed nothing to the press but had made numerous protected whistleblower disclosures to Congress." Garret's clearance was suspended anyway.

Additionally, these latest whistleblower disclosures show that an internal investigator on Garret's case clarified to Dena Perkins "that there was no evidence SA O'Boyle had leaked to the media. [Dena] Perkins responded that she had already briefed the FBI's 7th floor that SA O'Boyle was a media leaker, and did not want to correct this misunderstanding." Furthermore, FBI officials pushed for the revocation of Garret's clearance in order to retroactively remedy a false statement now retired Assistant Director Jennifer Moore made to Congress regarding Garret's case.

On top of all of this, Garret was forced to turn down a job offer because the hiring company did not want to be in the FBI's crosshairs themselves, and was denied employment by a local municipality even though Garret was overqualified for the position. As Garret said in his May 2023 testimony, "the FBI will crush you; this government will crush you and your family, if you try to expose the truth about things that they are doing that are wrong, and we are all examples of that." The FBI continues to try to crush the O'Boyle family. With your help, they never will.
