Douglas DePodesta says he was made ‘scapegoat’ after collapse of case against Broadview Six anti-ICE protesters
The former head of the FBI in Chicago has accused the Trump administration of pressuring him to investigate the president’s political opponents and making him a “scapegoat” after a major federal case against anti-ICE protesters fell apart.
Douglas DePodesta, who served as FBI special agent in charge from 2024 until July 2026, alleged in a federal lawsuit filed on Monday that the Department of Justice (DoJ) had engaged in “misconduct” and “malfeasance” in its pursuit of unjust prosecutions – and that he was wrongly blamed for the DoJ’s missteps and unlawfully forced out of his job.
The suit names Kash Patel, the FBI director; Todd Blanche, the attorney general; and Andrew Boutros, the US attorney who leads the DoJ’s Chicago office.
I like the lawsuit and I’m glad this dirty laundry is being aired, but it sounds like DePodesta was fine with doing Trump’s bidding until the leopards ate his face.
yeah. this guy has no principles. I bet he never even fucked any dogs.
As long as they’re fighting each other, there’s fewer resources to fight us.
The entire MAGAFIA needs to be put under a prison.
“MAGAFIA”.
Can I use this? So clever!
Please. Spread it far and wide!
