On Friday, The Gateway Pundit posted an article a couple of declare made in an article by The New York Occasions concerning the appointment of former Part Chief of Home Terrorism Operations Part (DTOS) because the Assistant Director in Cost of the Washington Discipline Workplace (WFO).
Initially, we known as the transfer “head-scratching” due to Jensen’s involvement, not simply within the January sixth prosecutions, however because the DTOS Chief, all the investigations that ensued below the guise of “home terrorism” below the Biden Administration.
The morning following the publication, The Gateway Pundit shared the story with a high-level supply who replied, “Faux Information.” This supply would completely have data of the appointment.
Along with our supply, there was no formal announcement from anybody affiliated with the FBI or the WFO concerning the brand new ADIC, together with a telephone name positioned to the WFO during which they might not reply however moderately transfered us to a switchboard for reporting crimes. Because of this, we decided that this was probably, as our supply had acknowledged, “Faux Information.”
Later, we have been despatched emails purporting to announce internally on the WFO the appointment of Jensen. The e-mail was dated March twenty eighth and claimed that he was to imagine the place the next Monday, which might have been March thirty first.
Whereas the e-mail was genuine, the dearth of acknowledgment of the appointment by anybody contained in the FBI and nonetheless no replace on the WFO’s web site concerning a brand new ADIC, we have been nonetheless assured in our supply’s assertion of “Faux Information.”
We continued to research this story, together with the decision to the WFO to ask who the ADIC was, a easy query anybody affiliated with that workplace must be able to answering. We additionally reviewed the inner WFO announcement e-mail supplied.
As if this wasn’t already bonkers sufficient, I’ve now reviewed an e-mail confirming that Jensen grew to become the ADIC on the Washington Discipline Workplace this previous Monday. https://t.co/YKmEdCE8gb

Once more, after a full week submerged within the workplace, there was no official bulletins and even updates to web sites that acknowledged Jensen because the ADIC.
In truth, the Washington Discipline Workplace, as of this writing, nonetheless has not up to date their web site. The “Assistant Director in Cost” remains to be clean a full week after he assumed the place.
That isn’t very clear.
Nonetheless, this morning, a put up on X that was shared by FBI Director Kash Patel’s official FBI X profile all however confirms that Jensen is the ADIC on the WFO. It isn’t an official announcement, however the repost from Director Patel appears to verify its veracity. It’s all the time the intention of The Gateway Pundit to carry essentially the most correct reporting potential, and this contains having the ability to challenge corrections or retractions once we are incorrect on a narrative.
The appointment isn’t any much less regarding.
As talked about, as DTOS Part Chief, Jensen oversaw the home terrorism surge below the Biden administration following the January 6 protests on the Capitol and the notorious Nationwide Faculty Board Affiliation letter that prompted the DOJ and FBI to place out a correlating letter and led to the alleged concentrating on and investigations into Mothers for Liberty, a grassroots group that was preventing in opposition to LGBTQ+ agenda in public faculties.
In testimony earlier than the Weaponization Committee, George Hill, a former Supervisory Intelligence Analyst, testified concerning the home terrorist infatuation on the Bureau from January sixth.
Hill testified that he was “conscious of cases the place brokers have been inspired to tag instances” as “DVE,” or Home Violent Extremists. When requested, “Do you imply tag as DVE though there was inadequate cause in your view to take action?” Hill responded, “Oh, yeah. Sure.”
He was requested to quote some examples that he’s conscious of. In accordance with Hill:
“So in all probability essentially the most egregious and one of many issues that pushed me over the sting was a tirade by Steve Jensen, who was on the time a piece chief with the Home Terrorism Part.
And on these telephone calls that passed off starting on January seventh [2021] — it passed off twice every day for a few weeks after which went to every day after which finally went to weekly. However these calls passed off over all 56 fusion facilities, so — and anyone may dial into that quantity.
After clarifying that the highest of the calls was January sixth, Hill continued:
“So there have been three people that Philadelphia was pushing again on desirous to open up a case on. They usually had achieved their due diligence
However the Philadelphia workplace mentioned, effectively, there isn’t any proof of any form of, you realize, violent leanings or insurrectionist leanings, to which Steve Jensen mentioned, you realize, I do not give a clean, they’re goddamn terrorists and we’re gonna spherical all of them up.
…So, primarily, they have been case managing with individuals who have been not FBI, from Seattle to Miami, from San Diego to Bangor, with this narrative.”
That may be a big center finger to Individuals. Jensen led the twice-daily nationwide convention calls the place he breathlessly exclaimed the nation was below assault by J6ers. He was central to the “our democracy is below assault” narrative.

The calls that Hill was referring to probably had 1000’s of individuals on the calls from all 56 of the fusion facilities all through the nation, together with main hubs like California and New York. Contributors on the decision have been muted until unmuted by the management of the decision, together with Steve Jensen and Timothy Thibault, who was permitted to retire early from the FBI in August 2022 amidst allegations of political bias and misconduct.
Hill acknowledged, “Within the occasion of the Philadelphia workplace…when Steve Jensen was primarily telling them, “You are going to open up these three particular person instances,” they may determine in the event that they have been going to unmute your microphone,” which might enable the management of any pushback in opposition to the de facto order given the findings of “no violent leanings or insurrectionist leanings.”
Timothy Thibault was mentioned to be “the warm-up act” on the calls. “I might characterize Mr. Thibault’s tone, generally bordering on hysterical. He is chatting with 1000’s of individuals, utilizing the bullhorn that’s the FBI and its repute, to drive the narrative that our democracy nearly ended on January sixth.”
Hill continued, “Which might then lead into: We’re working with these individuals, we’re working with Silicon Valley, we’re working with different legislation enforcement companions, we’re taking a look at perhaps previous overseas affect…”
Former Congressman Matt Gaetz requested if Hill had ever noticed that tone earlier than on one in all a lot of these calls. “No, by no means, [on] any form of name,” he responded. “It is simply not what an intelligence or legislation enforcement skilled does.”
Later within the testimony, Hill clarified the Philadelphia incident:
“Philadelphia was set a lead from WFO on three people, and the expectation was — is that they have been going to open up instances on these people.
And Jensen took it upon himself to ask on a convention name with perhaps a whole bunch, perhaps extra, of people there, you realize, “The place are we on this?” to which Philadelphia responded…”Yeah…they’ve some issues on their social media posts that could be…pro-2A or…they’re anti-abortion, no matter, however that does not imply that they are insurrectionists searching for to overturn our democracy,” to which Jensen mentioned, “I do not give a clean. They’re all bleeping terrorists, and we’ll spherical all of them up.”
Hill additionally acquired an e-mail on October 2nd concerning a letter from the Nationwide Faculty Board Affiliation addressed to Joe Biden. This letter prompted the DOJ to “take motion” involving the outlined “threats” to colleges.
“So I bought an e-mail…I consider it was from Steve Jensen….informing me of a communication that –sent ahead from him from DOJ the place there was a dialogue on wanting to place out some messaging and interact on this letter.”
He acquired the referenced e-mail over the weekend and, inside three days from receiving it, the DOJ responded and Jensen was calling for brokers to “have interaction extra on this.”
The NSBA apologized for the optics of the memo in calling for investigations into college board attendees after claims erupted that this could “chill” free speech, nevertheless, the Division of Justice memo was not rescinded below the tenure of Legal professional Normal Merrick Garland.
