Mike Glover is a Green Beret Veteran, who retired from the Special Forces as a Sergeant Major. He is an entrepreneur at heart, so after service he started two businesses: American Contingency and FieldCraft Survival. An FBI “woke-analyst” decided that by virtue of his social media posts, he and his American Contingency group must be a “domestic terrorists.” But it wasn’t just him alone…they went after his family as well. When confronted by it, the FBI lied…again.
“We have no comment on any specific groups or individuals. However, the FBI does not and cannot designate domestic terrorist organizations. The FBI can never open an investigation based solely on protected First Amendment activity… We cannot and do not investigate ideology. We focus on individuals who commit or intend to commit violence and criminal activity that constitutes a federal crime or poses a threat to national security. The FBI’s mission is to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution. One does not come at the expense of the other.” FBI statement
That is a blatant lie. According to a recent interview by Tucker Carlson at Fox News on Tuesday, March 21, Mike Glover stated that he was deplatformed, or in Glover’s own words “suppressed.” And that suppression also affected his family. Glover founded American Contingency in order to assist communities- it is an emergency prevention organization for assistance with disasters, not a terrorist group. The FBI investigated the allegation against his organization in 2020 and found that it was baseless. Never mind baseless, they still “suppressed” his social media and that of his family as well as produced a memo that continued the erroneous designation.
Rep Jim Jordan, who now chairs the House Judiciary Committee, demanded that FBI Director Christopher Wray provide answers and information on their designations of Americans, including Glover’s American Contingency as “DVEs” back in 2022. They have not done so.
A “misleading political agenda.”

Here is the relevant text from Jordan’s letter:
This is not America
“I am a retired former special ops guy, a sergeant major, have an impeccable career, have done nothing wrong, never broken any laws, and they went into my career. Luckily, somebody in the FBI, likely an FBI hostage rescue guy that I worked with overseas, did a report – and said ‘I don’t know why you’re looking into this guy but cease and desist’… It’s horrible. I’m an entrepreneur first. That is what I wanted to do after a long time of service, and it just sucks being targeted by a country. My mom was targeted. My mom’s Facebook account was deleted because the FBI communicated to social media and destroyed all the social media accounts. My mom came here from Korea from meeting my military dad in the Army, and we are dealing with this. She is dealing with this. Her small beauty salon…is dealing with this.” Mike Glover to Tucker Carlson on March 21
To be clear: even AFTER the FBI cleared the allegation by an investigation, they STILL continued to designate his group as domestic terrorists and issued a memo concerning it. This is a clear weaponization of Federal law enforcement. This has to stop and stop now. They are targeting Americans who have done nothing and have not violated any laws. In this case, they have targeted a decorated veteran who has saved lives. Mike Glover is not the only one targeted, as we have seen repeatedly in recent years. For him it has been a battle since 2020. For others, that battles may not have the advocacy of the House Republicans.
