We did the same for Marcus Allen as with Garret O'Boyle ن. Most people appealing security clearance revocations don’t make their filings public. We have. No need to engage with fantasies about theoretical possibilities. People can read the facts and decide for themselves. ⬆️
Chris Hinkle Question: What if the FBI gave us the files and we publicly refuted everything the Bu could throw at Garret O'Boyle ن? Oh wait, that already happened about 3 months ago.
Marcus Allen Garret O'Boyle ن Read it: empowr.us/wp-content/upl… empowr.us/wp-content/upl…
Read Garret O'Boyle ن’s appeal. It’s all there in plain English. What’s your theory (John Nantz)? That there’s some smoking gun in the files that we purposely ignored in our appeal so we could submit a misleading and incomplete rebuttal? That’s bonkers. It would be malpractice.
John Nantz Jason Foster Marcus Allen Chris Hinkle Garret O'Boyle ن Well, for starters, the change in whistleblower law I did the final negotiations to get passed in 2016 explicitly codified the FBI application of 5 USC 7211, which as you may note references federal employees’ right “individually or collectively” to furnish information to
John Nantz Garret O'Boyle ن Sharing an FBI record with a fellow agent who could pull it up himself doesn’t *need* to be a protected disclosure. We didn’t say it was. It’s not even a disclosure at all for Pete’s sake. 🙄 Geez. Not classified. Not a “policy” violation. Nothing worth ending a man’s career.
John Nantz Jason Foster Garret O'Boyle ن Ever since the whistleblower laws were passed agencies have said, "This isn't about whistleblower protections, it's about _____x_____!" ("Information security!") But I think part of the challenge here is your apparent view that whistleblower protection laws only apply where they
Jason Foster ShillingburgR1 Project Veritas Garret O'Boyle ن John Nantz 100% permitted. Also permitted would be educating yourself about a threat that may be in your AOR, learning about other techniques used in cases, and on and on. But, I have noticed that the FBI has been using this general unauthorized access as a catch-all in their internal
William Taylor ShillingburgR1 Project Veritas Garret O'Boyle ن John Nantz Since there's no due process in the security clearance context, it's easy for them to abuse the generic "unauthorized access" claim and bootstrap it into a bogus "security risk" excuse for revocation.
Archer⚡️ Jason Foster ShillingburgR1 Project Veritas Garret O'Boyle ن John Nantz I don’t believe Kyle was a former employee at that time, not even suspended. He was just sharing and discussing a case with a coworker which is perfectly normal.
William Taylor Archer⚡️ ShillingburgR1 Project Veritas Garret O'Boyle ن John Nantz Correct. Neither of them had been suspended yet. Both had authorized access to Sentinel at the time.
