In speaking before Congress this week about life under the current administration, Allen warned Americans that they should probably not trust the FBI because he sure doesn't.
"I personally have no confidence that the FBI will rein in its own conduct," Allen told the room. "I have been persecuted ... along with countless other whistleblowers. It is my opinion that the Bureau used reprisal and fear to control the workforce. It has been a seemingly effective tactic."
At the current time, the FBI and probably lots of other federal agencies are operating without any checks and balances. As such, Washington is engaging in "lawless actions" that are going unpunished.
"I welcome the work of the IG (Inspector General) but I think any type of lawless action, there's no legitimate timeframe to rein them back in," Allen said.
