FBI Whistleblower Fight: Is The Agency Silencing Its Own Agents?

The Inside Story of the Arctic Frost Lawfare Against TrumpA story going viral online claims the FBI is punishing whistleblowers instead of protecting them. At the center of this story is a former FBI Special Agent named Valentine Fertitta. His case has raised big questions about how the FBI treats its own agents—especially when those agents speak up about problems inside the bureau.

Brazenly wearing an easily visible white scarf, he was fearless in challenging the enemy to shoot at him.

But it was only after the resistance had suffered numerous mission setbacks that a terrible reality came to light. Their leader, known as “The Scarf”, wore the garment, not to antagonize the enemy but to let them know where exactly he was on the battlefield so that, as a German collaborator, he would not be shot by them.

One can imagine the perfidy felt by the resistance fighters upon learning a respected leader had betrayed them. The film was, appropriately, entitled “Betrayed.” Continue reading
