The FBI is now allegedly more of an intelligence collecting operation that spies on law-abiding Americans than a law enforcement agency. Kyle Seraphin, a suspended FBI agent, said to podcaster Dan Bongino that the alleged espionage is carried out to further a political goal and that thousands of agents and staff members feel betrayed by the leadership of the agency.
After nearly six years with the Bureau, Special Agent Kyle Seraphin was placed on indefinite leave on June 1. He said that after reading the order, he went to his congresswoman’s office in New Mexico and made a “protected disclosure.”
The agent claimed that hundreds of experienced agents are holding their noses long enough to be eligible for their pensions, that agents are routinely given orders to spy on Americans with little to no justification, and that the bureau’s management ranks are hopelessly polarized by inexperienced corporate climbers.
“The number of guys who say, ‘I don’t agree with what’s going on here, but I’ve got three years to retire,’ it’s heartbreaking,” said Seraphin.
In an email issued to employees of the Justice Department in October 2021, Garland declared the development of the tag “EDUOFFICIALS” to track threats related to school board meetings.
Agents had to watch and question common parents who got caught up in the dragnet after investigations of parents were initiated as a result of anonymous tips.
Seraphin claimed that most of his colleagues didn’t understand the political character of these cases and only conducted “cursory examinations” before closing them in a two-part interview with conservative radio personality Dan Bongino.
He claimed that despite this, many parents are unaware that the Bureau has case files on them and that agents have looked through their financial records just because they might have said anything deemed wrong at a school board meeting.
Seraphin informed Bongino that he was aware that the left-leaning National School Boards Association was exerting political pressure on the Bureau to allocate funds to a problem that belonged in the purview of the states and localities (NSBA).
“That’s when you become part of political hatchet jobs, and I didn’t sign up for that, and nobody I know signed up for that either,” he said. “That’s not what people want to get involved in.”
Seraphin also explained to Bongino how new agents are taken to the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. as part of their orientation. According to information provided to new agents, the Holocaust could not have occurred without the cooperation of minor government officials and law enforcement.
The Nuremberg Trials of Nazis taught us that the defense “I was just following orders” does not hold up.
“We’re supposed to know that if they ask you to do something that is illegal, immoral, or unethical, following orders is not an excuse,” Seraphin said.
The agent believed that the FBI already had him marked as a target for refusing to get vaccinated against COVID after becoming ill with the virus in late 2020. Seraphin was granted a religious exception, but he assisted in organizing some 300 FBI agents who disagreed with the “vax or axe” rule.
He informed Bongino that many men had quit the FBI because they would not participate in this oppressive system. Others, however, who “have kids and a mortgage” are prepared to work another 20 years in exchange for the hefty pension offered by the Bureau.
The whistleblower responded, “It’s more than people think,” to Bongino’s statement that he was “stunned” that more FBI agents weren’t standing.
Seraphin emphasized that there is a great deal of unhappiness among the ranks throughout the Bureau.
According to him, FBI agents “bitch about the management, complain about the structure and complain about how it’s not as it used to be” as soon as they sit down together.
He added: “This is not what they signed up with.”
Seraphin asserted that he is not only prohibited from representing himself as an FBI agent, having “no rights and responsibilities,” and being suspended without pay, but also from working elsewhere without first getting approval from his superiors. He claimed that resignation was his only alternative choice.
Seraphin also disclosed about the August 8 raid on former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in which he said he would have refused to take part, he claimed that there are several agents he knows who was involved.
“I’ve got friends that I don’t speak to after that, I assume they were part of it. I don’t know what happened, but you guys forgot to throw the B.S. flag on that,” he said. “You ask me to go raid President Obama’s house, you ask me to raid President Bush’s house, it’s not happening.”
“It’s not happening. I’m sorry, it’s not happening. I’m not doing that. I’m going to be, probably pretty vocal. That’s probably going to be my last day,” he continued.
Seraphin informed Bongino that more and more FBI agents are realizing that speaking with Republican lawmakers in Congress is the best option to put an end to abuses at the Bureau.
“There’s a path,” the whistleblower said, for people to go to members of Congress and “expose” the FBI’s malfeasance. “I think that it has to be done,” he said. “We have no other option at this point.”
There are already roughly 40 whistleblowers who have spoken to Republican members of Congress, according to Seraphin, who has served in numerous field offices in the counterterrorism division.
