DOJ makes agreement on FBI agents who investigated Jan. 6ers

The Justice Department and multiple lawyers representing a group of FBI employees have come to an agreement. The attorneys working for the FBI workers filed a lawsuit over a list of agents was compiled that consisted of people who worked on the January 6 investigations. The people filing the lawsuit did NOT want the names of the FBI agents revealed to the public.

The DOJ has agreed to NOT release the names to the public at this time. They stated the following according to an ABC News article syndicated by MSN:

"the government will not disseminate the list ... to the public, directly or indirectly, before the Court rules on Plaintiff's anticipated motions for a preliminary injunction."

 

If DOJ leadership were to change their minds and release the list, they would need to provide two business days' notice to attorneys and the court, per the agreement.

 

The anonymous group of FBI agents had sought a temporary restraining order to keep the FBI from releasing the names on a list the bureau collected as part of what the plaintiffs' lawsuit says is the agency's plan to engage in "potential vigilante action" to retaliate against government employees who worked on Jan. 6 cases or Donald Trump's classified documents case.
