FBI Accused of Destroying Evidence, Whistleblower Alerts Kash Patel

Journalist Michael Shellenberger has reported that an FBI whistleblower has come forward with claims that evidence is being destroyed on Bureau servers.

Shellenberger, who spoke with former FBI agent and whistleblower Garret O’Boyle, shared the allegations on Monday.

According to O’Boyle, an unnamed source inside the FBI has revealed that evidence stored on the agency’s servers is being erased.

Shellenberger described the situation as alarming, adding that O’Boyle has informed FBI Director Kash Patel of the claims.

FBI whistleblower @GOBactual confirmed to me that a source inside FBI said FBI employees were destroying evidence on servers, and that he informed @Kash_Patel

I hope he & @AGPamBondi @JohnRatcliffe @elonmusk @realannapaulina are preventing this.

We urgently need disclosure! https://t.co/hhEU2z9r8i

“Was it? Is it?” Shellenberger asked, raising questions about whether the reported destruction of evidence is still occurring.

To clarify, @GOBactual reports that his source said that FBI is or was operating standalone servers. Was it? Is it?

Destroying evidence could carry serious legal consequences, as such actions may constitute obstruction of justice or other federal crimes.

While it remains unclear how widespread the alleged activity is, the possibility of evidence tampering inside a federal law enforcement agency has raised concerns about accountability within the Bureau.

O’Boyle has previously testified about what he described as the weaponization of the FBI.

During his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee’s Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, he detailed alleged retaliation against whistleblowers who exposed misconduct.

He claimed that after speaking out, he was suspended from his position and left without income.

Shellenberger also referenced past concerns about insider threats within the intelligence community, specifically mentioning reports of similar issues at the CIA.

He warned that government officials should remain vigilant against individuals within federal agencies who might attempt to remove or destroy critical information.

In previous reports, Shellenberger has highlighted concerns about intelligence operatives potentially taking classified information to foreign agencies.

Some have suggested that firings and buyouts could lead certain individuals to pass sensitive information to outside entities.

The FBI has not issued a public response to the claims. It remains unclear whether any internal investigation is underway regarding the allegations of evidence destruction.

However, if true, the situation could present serious legal and ethical implications for those involved.

As concerns about transparency and accountability within federal agencies continue to mount, the latest allegations will likely prompt further scrutiny of the Bureau’s operations.

Whether the claims lead to official investigations or further congressional hearings remains to be seen.
