FBI, Doj Strike -Agreement in Litigation Over 6 January ‘Agent List’

The Ministry of Justice and a group of FBI agents reached an agreement by Federal Court on Friday on the dissemination of information about FBI agents involved in the 6th of January.

According to the text of the agreement, the Trump administration cannot release information about the FBI agents examined on January 6, 2021, the US Capitol Riot without giving plaintiffs at least two days’ notice, so the case can be considered again in the federal court.

However, it does not place such a time limit for the dissemination of agents’ identities to other state agencies or the White House.

The trade at least currently resolves a dispute over the release of information that agents said the feared could be used in retaliation or leaked to the public.

The agreement comes after active FBI agents and the Federal Bureau of Investigation Agent’s Association, a volunteer agents’ group, the Department of the Justice Department earlier this week and tried to block the release of all identifying information about FBI agents involved in January 6 -investigation.

The two parties threw themselves for hours in court on Thursday in front of US district judge Jia Cobb, who questioned both parties in the length of the nature of DOJ’s questionnaire, the potential of information or retaliation, and how the Ministry of Justice intends to use information , which has been passed in questionnaires.

The agreement defends any immediate relief to the plaintiffs and pushes their hearing to a preliminary injunction until March 27.

Cobb earlier the two parties awarded a short administrative stay on Thursday night and said that if the information was released, she thought it “would put FBI agents in immediate danger.”

The deal comes just a few days after the FBI management said it had given the Ministry of Justice a list of agents who worked on January 6 -Investigation and Criminal Cases, in accordance with a previous deadline set by US -acting Deputy Deputy Attorney Emil Bove.

“The applicants claim that the purpose of this list is to identify agents to be completed or to suffer other negative employment action,” said attorneys for the FBI agents, adding that they “reasonably fear that all or part of this list can be published by Allies of President Trump, thus placing himself and their families in immediate danger in retaliation of the now pardoned and large 6th of January convicted criminals.

Attorneys for the agents claimed that any effort to review or discriminate against agents involved in the investigation would be “illegal and retaliatory” and a violation of the protection of officials under federal law.

They also cited “in -depth concern” that the list of thousands of FBI agents involved would be leaked to the public, threatening their security.

Meanwhile, attorneys to the Ministry of Justice emphasized that their intention of issuing the questionnaire was to conduct an “internal review” of activities in the 6th of January -probe, not to punish individuals for implementing orders.

Bove also tried to emphasize this message in an all-stab email to FBI staff earlier this week. In the e -mail, Bove emphasized that the questionnaire was not intended to be a first step to mass layouts, emphasizing that it was simply intended for review.
