I haven’t gone on a rant lately. This is overdue. @DEAHQ female agents won their case around the time I left the @FBI . For @JusticeOIG to refuse to look my case because it’s an @USEEOC basically says you are on your own & we don’t want to know about it.

I gave information to a Congressman, who said he’d get actively involved in my case, now his aides told me “we don’t get involved in employment disputes.” WTF?

Screw FBI whistleblowers... that’s what OIG & lawmakers seem to be saying. That is exactly why the FBI is where it is today. And EXACTLY why there aren’t more people speaking out. Would you?

They know the drill & false promises lawmakers give about whistleblower protections. Many of them saw what I went through. Lost my house, my savings, & was deemed homeless by Pennsylvania.

I reported this type of behavior in 2008, 2012, 2013, 2014, & 2015. I filed complaints with OGC (legal), EEO, Inspection Division, FBI HRD, OIG, DOJ OPR, FBI OPR, Comey & Senator Grassley.

Grassley then told OIG to look into 3 cases. Loss of effectiveness transfers were done to 2 of the female FBI agents & I was removed from a joint duty detail to the CIA, who told me they were happy since the day I started. @ChuckGrassley has been the only one helping us.

You see what happens to those who stood up for me. @GenFlynn took a stand. @mgdick7 tried to get me out of the situation BEFORE I filed the EEO. He no longer works for @FBI.

I received an email from my direct supervisor at the agency saying “You have already contributed more than your predecessor”. I had been there 4 months; my predecessor was there 18 months.

#McCabe said I was removed from the position because of performance issues & unprofessional behavior. Does anyone see the conflicting stories? Wasn’t he fired for Lack of Candor? Duh @JusticeOIG

has asked 2 more times for @JusticeOIG to specifically look at my case in light of more recent events. OIG said nope, it’s an EEO. So it’s fair game on females & minorities in the FBI.

FBI employees only have a few choices: file EEO & get fired or forced to resign; file whistleblower complaint & get fired or forced to resign; Go Civil, which starts out as an EEO, so you’ve either already been fired or were forced to resign. Hmmm yeah I want some of that! Not!

And here I am Six years later. I was unable to get a job over minimum wage for two and a half years. Hmmmm why with the credentials I have? I am in debt because I had bills I paid on time when I was an FBI agent. I went from around $165k to $0 in one day. Now that’s enticing...

No resolution to any part of my case. Extensive documentation of both the emails between the two guys targeting me and saying “Just stick with the plan.” Is that an insurance plan? I asked for a copy of the plan in discovery. Got nothing.

Extensive outright lies from McCabe which conflicts with just about everyone’s opinions. Yeah, that direct supervisor must have meant someone else... NOPE Let’s stick with Lack of Candor on McCabe.

Waiting over 2 years for a response from @FBI on my #FOIA on my own documents. I’ve refined the scope twice and still nothing. It will all be redacted anyway. Just like the 300+ pages of my EEO Report of Investigation (ROI).

Those redactions were mostly incorrect, according to a letter sent to my attorney with a relatively clean ROI. Hmm let’s just redact stuff that looks bad for @FBI.

They won’t know the CAPCO classification guidelines. I was trained extensively on them because of my work with another agency. So when you see redacted information, question it! @TheJusticeDept @FBIRecordsVault like to redact things that might show their culpability.

If you are an FBI employee and are currently having issues, feel free to message me. You are not alone. Now is the time for you to speak with the right people. There are people out there who are prepared to get you legal assistance. That’s a good thing! #ReinstateRobynGritz

unroll please

Damn, I forgot how the individuals were handled by FBI. All 3 got promotions,1 of them got a cash award for dealing with a problem employee who filed an unfounded EEO. Yup, that should be biting @FBI in the ass. Lack of candor? Well, 2 retired and the 3rd fired. Others unknown.
