SW News: An FBI agent-turned-whistle-blower has told the US House Select Subcommittee that the bureau created a threat tag after SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade in June last year. Fox News reported that FBI special agent Garret O’Boyle from Wichita Resident Agency in the Kansas City Field Office alleged that the bureau made him divide a domestic terrorism case into four separate cases. This he said was to show Congress that there was a flow of domestic terrorism cases.
The former agent said the FBI created the threat tag “THREATTOSCOTUS2022 after the repeal of Roe v. Wade. O’Boyle confessed that after the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling, he assumed that the threat tag issued by the bureau was legitimate because “threatening a Supreme Court official is a violation of federal crime”. The bureau made use of such tags to scrutinize similar cases. However, the tag was used to exclusively focus on those who were supporting pro-life initiatives, said O’Boyle.

"When this threat tag came out, it was like, why are you focusing on pro-life people?" Fox News quoted O’Boyle as revealing before the panel. "It’s pro-choice people who are the ones protesting or otherwise threatening violence in front of Supreme Court justices’ houses." He also told the panel that the bureau wanted its agents to scrutinize pregnancy centers.

O’Boyle added that the bureau was creating and using threat tags in a politicizing manner. He said that when it came to domestic terrorism cases, the fragmentation of one case into several cases gave the bureau the added advantage of approaching Congress and saying, “look at all the domestic terrorism we have investigated”.

He said, "Where, really, I was working on one case, the FBI can then say, well, he actually had four, and so we need you to give us more money because look at how big of a threat all this domestic terrorism is." He also alleged that the bureau was wreaking vengeance against him following the disclosure before the panel.
