The FBI, by its own admission, neglected at least one critical investigation into horrific child sexual exploitation, while diverting agency resources to investigate those thought to be involved in the events on January 6, 2021 at the United States Capitol.
An example of the FBI misdirecting its resources is the disturbing case of an Alaskan man, Brogan T. Welsh, who allegedly distributed child pornography and expressed disgusting fantasies online about the anal rape of male children.
The FBI had Welsh in their sights and was ready to press charges against him. Even a week before January 6, 2021, the man believed to be Welsh was trying to have a sex date with a prepubescent boy online.
But the FBI dropped the case on Jan. 6, 2021, according to the FBI’s statement of facts in court. He had more important things to investigate: Trump supporters.
How many other cases of equal or greater gravity have been abandoned by the FBI in favor of targeting politically active Americans?
The alarming almost three years delay arresting Welsh raises concerns about the FBI’s priorities and whether it is truly dedicated to protecting vulnerable children from heinous sexual predators.
Welsh was eventually indicted in late October in the District of Columbia on charges of distributing child pornography. Other positions may develop as your activities become more prominent.
The arrest itself occurred a few days later in Anchorage. Since the FBI dropped the case in 2021 until just two weeks ago, Welsh likely continued to be part of the online exploitation of children.
This is not just the perverted inclination of a hypersexualized grown man. Before the FBI dropped his case, Welsh had contacted someone on an Internet child pornography platform. Apparently believing the man to be the father of a minor child, Welsh expressed a desire to travel to the District of Columbia to sexually abuse the alleged child. The description of what he wanted to do to the boy is graphic.
That man turned out to be an undercover FBI agent. The evidence against Welsh was substantial, including IP addresses, online identities, explicit images and videos depicting the sexual abuse of pre-pubescent boys. In text messages, Welsh was recorded telling the undercover FBI officer how much he wanted to rape the man’s son. It is unimaginable that such a case would be put on hold. But it was
After the FBI lost interest in Welsh on January 6, 2021, it wasn’t until August 2023 that the FBI stumbled upon the Welsh file, and only because I was investigating another unrelated case.
This disturbing incident highlights a troubling pattern of the FBI diverting resources from vital cases to pursue politically motivated agendas.
In the months following January 6, 2021, the FBI targeted innocent Alaskans, including Paul and Marilyn Hueper of Homer. Officers broke through the front door of the couple’s home on April 28, 2021, saying they were looking for then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s laptop. Investigators left with a pocket copy of the United States Constitution that the agency put into evidence, thinking it gave more credibility to their case, but the laptop was nowhere to be found in Alaska because it turned out to be a case of very mistaken identity.
Anchorage activist Jay McDonald was also subjected to harassing questioning by the FBI because the agency had opened a tip line and a Democratic political operative named McDonald’s as someone who was in the United States Capitol on January 6. Records show, however, that McDonald was in Alaska that day. It was a case of political warfare, and the FBI was a useful pawn, while McDonald rightly feared for his family’s safety.
These cases of mistaken identity and political harassment demonstrate how valuable FBI resources were misallocated while perverts got away with it.
During Welsh’s final arrest, the FBI said it found incriminating evidence in his Anchorage bedroom, “Including sex toys of very small size and apparently consistent with the body size of a child about 10 years old, including: a silicon ring, apparently of the type known as a ‘cock ring’; a bag of ‘sensory finger rings’ which are apparently devices for manual sexual stimulation; a very small dildo of consistent size with penetration anal; and the following clothing consistent with a 10-year-old child and too small for an adult of WELSH’s size: two pairs of underwear; and one pair of pajama bottoms.”
The investigation revealed that a 10-year-old boy did, in fact, reside at the residence with Welsh.
“On January 6, 2021, the FBI, Washington Field Office, this investigation was put on hold due to the events that occurred at the United States Capitol building that day,” the statement of facts said.
How long could this case have been ignored if he hadn’t stumbled upon it again?
That is the job of Chairman James Comer of the Congressional Oversight and Accountability Committee, who should review the statement of facts in this case and subpoena FBI Director Christopher Wray and his subordinates to answer the question: how many other Brogan Welshmen are still out. there committing crimes, while the FBI is doing manhunts related to January 6th?
