Acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll gave the DOJ a list of employees involved in January 6 cases.
According to NBC News, there were more than 2,400 cases in total – and approximately 5,000 FBI employees involved.
The FBI officials who worked on the J6 cases and Trump investigations were identified by a case management system.
NBC News reporter Ken Dilanian said that the list does not include names of the agents, rather, the agents were identified by a number called a “unique employee identifier.”
“The Justice Department, of course, can match the numbers with names on the payroll. But by leaving the names off, the FBI ensure that for now there is not a master list floating around of the names of people who worked on January 6th,” he said.
According to CNN, Brian Driscoll sent the DOJ the names of the FBI officials – but he sent the list through a classified system!
CNN reported:
The FBI has provided the Justice Department with names of employees who worked on January 6-related cases after a new demand from the acting deputy attorney general, capping a weeklong back-and-forth between bureau leadership – who had sought to protect agent and staff identities – and the department.
The FBI complied by providing the names through a classified system to protect employees from being publicly identified, acting Director Brian Driscoll told employees in an email Thursday.
“I want to be clear that as of now we do not have information indicating the Department of Justice intends to disseminate these lists publicly, and they are fully aware of the risks we believe are inherent in doing so,” Driscoll wrote in the email.
“We will let you know immediately if we learn the Department’s intentions regarding these lists changes,” he said.
The Justice Department’s Thursday demand comes after the bureau earlier this week withheld the names of thousands of employees and instead relayed information based only on employee ID numbers, according to an email obtained by CNN.
The Justice Department on Friday agreed to keep the identities of the FBI officials involved in January 6 cases and Trump investigations hidden.
So “acting” FBI director essentially classified the names of FBI agents!? #DeepState https://t.co/nmIvFd6gI6
