On Friday, The New York Occasions reported that particular agent accountable for the Columbia Subject Workplace in South Carolina, Steven Jensen, was appointed as Assistant Director of the Washington Subject Workplace.
Jensen has a historical past of involvement within the January sixth persecutions and, based on the Home transcribed interview of former Supervisory Intelligence Analyst George Hill, known as J6ers “goddamn terrorists” and pledged that “we’re gonna spherical all of them up.”
In line with Hill, there have been “hundreds of individuals” on that convention name.
The New York Occasions reported:
However a few of these strikes seem at odds with Mr. Patel’s previous derision of the F.B.I.’s aggressive method to Jan. 6. The brand new assistant director Mr. Patel named to run the Washington subject workplace, Steven J. Jensen, was accountable for the bureau’s home terrorism operations part on that day, and he performed a key position in responding to the assault on the Capitol.
Feedback on X, calling into query the choice the appointment originated with the New York Occasions reporting.
Now, a high-ranking official inside the FBI has confirmed to The Gateway Pundit that this report on Jensen is, “Faux Information.”
Steven Jensen was not appointed to steer the Washington Subject Workplace.
The Gateway Pundit cited the New York Occasions in an article Friday, whereas acknowledging there was no formal announcement on the FBI web site, the Washington Subject Workplace’s web site, or social media, nor Director Kash Patel’s social media and calling the transfer “head-scratching.”
The appointment went in opposition to every thing that each Director Kash Patel and Assistant Director Dan Bongino have represented for the reason that protest on the US Capitol, and in opposition to the “Deep State” as an entire.
It seems, as we’ve got confirmed, this report was not true.
The testimony from FBI Supervisory Intelligence Analyst George Hill in 2023 about Jensen, nevertheless, just isn’t “faux information.”
The query now turns into, who was the supply of the New York Occasions? Was it a ‘smoke out’ or a ‘canary lure’? Or was there ever a ‘supply’ on Jensen’s report in any respect?
