FBI agents detail J6 role in exhaustive questionnaire, spanning 'thousands' of employees

Several sources with knowledge of the questionnaire told Fox News Digital that they had seen the same document. 

The White House and Justice Department did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. 

The FBI said Tuesday afternoon that it has provided the Justice Department with a list of personnel who worked on Jan. 6 investigations and criminal cases, in keeping with an earlier deadline provided by DOJ.

Questions ranged from agents' participation in any grand jury subpoenas, whether the agents worked or responded to leads from another FBI field office, or if they worked as a case agent for investigations.

Fox News also learned that the information provided to the Department of Justice, at the request of Acting U.S. Deputy Attorney Emil Bove, included details on "thousands" of employees such as their unique identifying numbers, current title, their role in the relevant investigation, and their title at the time of the investigation. 

But one retired FBI agent urged calm, noting to Fox News that the acting director and deputy director of the FBI still remain in place. This person also stressed that the Jan. 6 investigation and the FBI personnel involved in investigating each case "fully followed Bureau and DOJ guidelines," and that violations of federal statutes were "proven beyond a reasonable doubt in federal courts of law."

To date, there are no known plans to conduct sweeping removals or take punitive action against the agents involved.
