I am very glad that Senator Grassley is reviewing this problem. These circumstances are particularly loathsome because it is the FBI to whom federal employees would take wrongdoing by their agencies if the OIG does not investigate or if in fact the OIG is the perpetrator, which is more the case today than ever in the past. What could a federal employee expect in the way of proper action by the FBI? The same bad treatment? Worse? This situation needs to be corrected. The FBI has become quite arrogant and the Congress has been "afraid" of them for too long (since Hoover days.) The FBI needs to focus on doing their jobs right, not on covering up their mistakes. For example, as reported in the news, if the FBI had paid more attention to small airport owners reporting persons wanting to learn to fly a plane but not how to land it, we might not have had the New York twin towers disaster. If the FBI would just do their work properly, there would not be whisteblowers among them. The FBI may do a million things right everyday and it is not an easy job, but it is far better to admit mistakes than to try to discredit those that report the mistakes. That problem is making a grand institution the butt of too many jokes (and way worse.) Thank you Senator Grassley.

I retired after 20 years as an agent. Senator, you have no idea how bad the management is and how deep the retributions go.

Way to go Senator Grassley, it's good to hear of an elected official who cares about their civil service constituents. I have requested assistance through my Congressman's office (Steny Hoyer, D-Maryland) on two different occasions for reprisal, retaliation, and violations of my civil rights and both requests have resulted in nothing but a continuation of the same DHS, Customs and Border Protection abuse and mismanagement. I know who I'm going to vote for next go round Steny and it's whoever is running against you.
