FBI agents who 'simply followed orders' in Jan. 6 probes won't be fired, DOJ says

FBI employees who worked on the January 6th capital riot investigations under scrutiny. Tuesday, the FBI complied with *** Justice Department demand, turning over information about thousands of agents and analysts. What is happening here? First of all, it's horrendous what they're doing to this population of people who did nothing other than the work they were assigned, the lawful, appropriate, consistent with. they were assigned on the January 6 cases. According to sources, details on more than 5000 of the FBI's 38,000 employees were submitted to the DOJ. Many agents fear that could lead to them losing their jobs. The DOJ isn't commenting. Tuesday, *** group of FBI employees sued the Justice Department to try and block the release of their information. I think it's necessary for them to stand up and defend themselves, and this is the proper way to do. That at this point in the process, the lawsuit alleges the very act of compiling lists of persons who worked on matters that upset Donald Trump is retaliatory in nature, intended to intimidate FBI agents and other personnel. This is an act that will destabilize and really shake the foundations of the FBI and its ability to protect Americans for generations. I'm Sherelle Hubbard reporting.
