“You Can Only Quit Once”

By CHRISTOPHER MANION

“This government will crush you and your family if you try to expose the truth about things that they are doing that are wrong” — Garret O’Boyle, FBI Whistleblower, Testimony before House Judiciary Committee, May 18, 2023.
The Durham Report exposed the entire game plan behind the greatest electoral scandal in our country’s history. In the wake of its release, folks are wondering, “How did they get away with it for so long?”
Obama, Hillary, Biden, Comey, Mueller, McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr, Nellie Ohr, John Brennan, Susan Rice, Michael Sussmann, Kevin Clinesmith . . . they all knew.
And yet, not one went to jail. Instead, the Deep State and its PR agents in the media allies celebrate them.
But for truthtellers, it’s another story.
When FBI whistleblower Garret O’Boyle testified last week, Cong. Kelly Armstrong (R., N.D.) asked what he’d recommend to FBI employees who wanted to blow the whistle on wrongdoing in the agency.
“I would advise them not to do it,” O’Boyle replied.
O’Boyle had told the truth, and he had paid.
“In weaponized fashion, the FBI allowed me to accept orders to a new position halfway across the country,” he testified. “They allowed us to sell my family’s home. They ordered me to report to the new unit when our youngest daughter was only two weeks old. Then, on my first day on the new assignment, they suspended me; rendering my family homeless and refused to release our household goods, including our clothes, for weeks.”
Telling the truth is dangerous in Washington, and that’s why it’s so rare.
And it’s been dangerous for a long time.
Over forty years ago, a State Department employee called me on the sly to report some shady business going on in his bureau.
He asked me to have the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, where I worked, to investigate it.
“But leave me out of it,” he said.
When I suggested that he knew more about the issue than anyone, he said:
“Chris, you can only quit once.”
Forty years later, Mr. O’Boyle learned that lesson the hard way.
The Deep State protects his own. And Mr. O’Boyle had betrayed them.
Did patriotic FBI “professionals” stand up and cheer? No. He was right, the FBI is rancid with corruption. Cross the corruptos, and they “will crush you and your family.”
Even though federal government agencies are desperately recruiting sexual deviants as we speak, there are still many loyal employees like Mr. O’Boyle who are married with children. And instead of honoring their devotion to family and country, the Deep State uses the family to silence the breadwinner.
Silence? Silence about what?
They used to call it “waste, fraud, and abuse,” but now it’s outright criminal activity. The good guy sees it. He knows it. He hates it.
But tell the truth, and he could lose his pension — one of the most generous in the country, guaranteed by the taxpayer in perpetuity.
Tell the truth, and he will lose his professional future. Many government employees become “consultants” to their old agencies when they retire, while they continue to draw their full pensions.
If you go along, you get along. That s how the system works. Tell the truth once — quit once — and you lose it all.

The Scourge Of
The Clinton Curse

A look at the record confirms just how brave the FBI whistleblowers were to come forward and testify last week. They are up against a chain of command as powerful as it is permanent.
In 1993, Hillary Clinton instituted a secret “White House Task Force on Health Care Reform” to write her version of nationalized health care (HR 3600, 103rd Congress).
When Task Force director Ira Magaziner was referred to the Justice Department for perjury, District of Columbia U.S. Attorney Eric Holder, a Bill Clinton appointee, refused to prosecute him.
Business as usual? Sure. But it pays.
For his loyalty, Bill Clinton appointed Holder as Deputy U.S. Attorney General in 1997, where he remained until Republicans took the White House in 2001. A posh D.C. law firm then took him in until Obama took office in 2009, when he made Holder U.S. Attorney General.
Holder hadn’t changed. In fact, his corruption found new ground in 2010, when Lois Lerner, an IRS official, used her position to blacklist several conservative groups, a move — and possibly a crime — which prevented them from attaining tax-exempt status.
The rise of the Tea Party in 2010 bode ill for Obama’s reelection, and many observers credited Lerner’s criminal efforts with guaranteeing Obama’s re-election in 2012.
When Lerner was accused of abusing her authority, she took the Fifth Amendment before Congress. Attorney General Holder once more came to the rescue of the Deep State’s own, and refused to prosecute her. The arrogant Holder was then held in contempt by the Congress, the first sitting presidential cabinet member in history to earn that distinction. Lerner was held in contempt as well, but of course, with Justice in the helpful hands of Holder, both had nothing to fear. Holder stayed on the job and announced in 2015 that Lerner wouldn’t be charged, and neither would anyone else at the IRS.

How About A Shakeup?

When Alan Mulally took over Ford Motor Company in 2006, it was running on empty.
As the saying goes, “the only way you can coast is downhill,” and that’s where Ford was going when he took over.
A seasoned executive, Mulally quickly put a weekly meeting with senior executives on the schedule. As the story goes, that first meeting was uncomfortable at best.
Mulally went around the table, asking each senior exec to recount any serious problems going on in his division.
If past was prologue, every one of them was afraid that admitting how bad things were would get him fired. One after the other, they said that things were going well. No big problems at all.
Finally, Mark Fields, Executive VP in charge of the Americas, spoke up. Yes, there were problems — big ones, he said.
Everybody cringed. “Goodbye, Mark,” they thought.
“Great!” Mulally said. Uh-oh.
Many of those sitting around the table that day left the company shortly thereafter, but Mark Fields succeeded Mulally as CEO eight years later.
Can we do this at the FBI? At the Department of Justice? Can we fire the liars while we find the truthtellers and promote them?
Well, as we pointed out, it’s been going on for a long time. We’d have a mountain to climb. Not only does the Deep State protect its own, it persecutes its enemies. It also prosecutes them. The FBI is sending spies into Catholic churches here in Virginia, into school board meetings, into pro-life demonstrations. Sure, many agents on the ground are “just following orders,” but threaten to fire senior executives at the FBI like Mulally did at Ford Motor Company and they’ll break down your door in a heartbeat.
Well, if we can’t reform them, what can we do?
The FBI has asked Congress for a billion dollars to build a new headquarters building twice the size of the Pentagon. Hmmm.
Say — instead of putting old guys in a new building, how about putting new guys in the old building?
