David Maltinsky, a 16-year veteran, says in lawsuit agency retaliated against him for engaging in protected speech
A longtime FBI employee has filed a lawsuit alleging that he was fired for displaying a Pride flag at his desk, naming the FBI director, Kash Patel, the justice department and the attorney general, Pam Bondi, as defendants.
According to David Maltinsky, an intelligence specialist who had served with the bureau for 16 years, his wrongful termination earlier this year was “unconstitutional and politically motivated”.
The lawsuit claims the FBI violated Maltinsky’s first amendment rights and took retaliatory action against him for engaging in protected speech. Maltinsky is seeking a court order to restore his job.
The title comes from the north literally fighting to keep the Union together, not that “the union” means “good guys”. They were good in this case because the reason the south was trying to leave was to keep slavery going.
Eh, they are acting unconstitutionally, so they aren’t really legitimate. A bunch of rebel-terrorists that hijacked the country.
