Lie. This is fake news.

Fake Claim #1 - Chipit is lying when he says that anyone was incentivised to "inflate" cases of domestic extremism.

Truth: Actually, in the video cited by chipit, Gaetz says the following:

"one of the things Steve Friend bought forward in his whistleblower report is that there were cash incentives given to people in FBI leadership based on case volume."

There's nothing cited by chipit which indicates anything to do with domestic extremism. So how did that part get added to chipit's claim? It got added by a domestic extremist, is my guess.

Fake Claim #2 - Gaetz in chipit's video claims that Friend reported "that there were cash incentives given to people in FBI leadership based on case volume". This was a lie by Gaetz.

Truth: actually this wasn't said by Steve Friend at all! And certainly not part of his whistleblower report. The House committee released the full transcript pdf and cspan has their autosubs available online. He didn't say it.

It was actually said by Garret O'Boyle on Fox news. Somewhere in this video which I don't care to watch.

?? Claim #3 - "there is a system in the FBI where the executive management does get a cash bonus if they get gold checkmarks in certain criteria" is the claim made by O'Boyle in the video, as cited by fox below the video.

Truth: who cares? Did anyone care before today how the DoJ maintained gold standards in its field offices? Private sector executives get stock and I know ASAC Hank Schrader isn't walking around with federal treasury certificates. So I don't care whether they use a cash bonus system, I just care that we get through a year without on-site molestations or slippin jimmy lawsuits or whatever fucking KPIs the field offices use. I don't care

Who is an FBI agent. So this story checks out aside from someone adding 'domestic terrorism' to the headline.

well we're all commenting here, so i guess we all care. as a taxpayer, this seems like a perverse and expensive incentive for the FBI. Many of their high profile cases in the last decade are bordering on illegal entrapment.

As the program has been explained so far, the only thing it incentivises field officers managers to do, is keep the bathrooms clean and the hallways clear of trip hazards.

Literally everything else is your paranoid imagination run wild.

Did you care before today how US Postal Inspectors are incentivised to maintain high standards in the post office? What if you learned they also get a cash bonus?

What about the city streetsweeping manager. Or the guy in charge of keeping the power grid healthy. What if you learned that they also are rewarded for gold star performance

The topic is cash incentives for maintaining or increasing FBI case volume, forum slider

Nobody said that. It's not supported in any evidence. Neither of any of the so-called whistleblowers alleged that.

On fox news O'Boyle said the cash was for "gold checkmarks in certain criteria".

The Friend pdf I linked said the cash was for "certain arbitrary metrics and performance goals".

So don't call me names and accuse me of being bad faith when it's you who is FAKING IT because you haven't done the requisite reading to challenge me on this topic

Dipshit

Go fuck yourself
