Service Agent

White Plains, Maryland – An “Antifa” Special Agent for the United States
Secret Service (USSS) is threatening journalists with censorship and
lawfare after his alarming ties to anarcho-communist extremism have been
exposed.

The agent—previously identified as 30-year-old Thomas Jack “TJ” Hamil—is
attempting to leverage his position as a federal employee to remove
evidence of his activities by falsely accusing the Justice Report of
leaking privileged “medical information” and details about his significant
other to the public.

On Friday evening, the JR received a so-called “abuse complaint” email from
Special Agent Hamil, desperately attempting to have his report scrubbed
from the internet, citing potential “harm.” The move predates new reporting
that suggests Hamil—currently serving in the protection unit for Vice
President Kamala Harris—has been placed on “modified duties” pending an
internal probe.

“I am a federal agent with the USSS,” opened Hamil in a furious complaint
to JR’s domain registrar. “I was advised to contact you regarding an
article…containing extensive personal information regarding myself and, in
part, my wife. I am beginning the pursuit of legal action against the
author of the website, but wanted to ensure you were aware…and discuss
options regarding what can be done.”

“Throughout my career in LE, I have become involved in the prosecution of
organized crime, and it is possible that this information could be used by
them to bring potential harm to myself and my family.”

Hamil’s assertions, however, are not based in reality. While photos of the
young agent were released in order to corroborate a link between his
vitriolic Reddit account and real-life identities, no residential, medical,
or private information was ever published, as all evidence used to identify
him as a left-wing extremist was borrowed from his own publicly available
social media accounts and statements.

Additionally, prior to publication, the Justice Report painstakingly
avoided mentioning any of Hamil’s friends and family members and obscured
all faces in social media photos that contained him.

Hamil, who posted under the Reddit pseudonym /u/Endon40 for 12+ years prior
to the exposé, was found to be contributing to boards known as recruitment
hubs for left-wing political theorists, “Antifa” scenesters, and militant
anarchists. He would use his privileged position within the USSS to provide
valuable insights and, in some cases, give away details of his caseload in
order to comment on American racial issues.

His intense hatred of a perceived enemy in the American right wing would
culminate in a heated Reddit debate with center-left users, who rightfully
opposed Hamil’s insistence that the results of the election had somehow
been “rigged” in favor of Trump. At one point, Hamil even admitted to being
a “walking, talking” repository of Anarchist theory, and begged fellow
“Antifa” to accept him in their circles despite being a federal agent or
“glowie.”

“I have worked – literally – as a detective for almost a decade. Stop the
Steal had zero evidence,” Hamil said in a now-deleted Reddit thread.
“There’s a LOT more here that may end up being nothing, but it’s important
we look at it…And if you think principles don’t matter, see how your kid
does living in a fascist society because that’s what you’re getting with
this guy (Trump).”

Upon news of the Justice Report’s original article on November 14th, Hamil
furiously deleted his Facebook, LinkedIn, and Reddit accounts and, by doing
so, knowingly scrubbed any evidence that could be used against him in an
official hearing. However, many of his postings were digitally archived and
are no longer susceptible to user-end deletion.

His new and apparent bid to censor and silence the Justice Report for
sounding the alarm on his activities predates new information in the case.
On Saturday, National Political Correspondent for RealClearPolitics, Susan
Crabtree, reported that the United States Secret Service had placed Agent
Hamil on “modified duties” pending an investigation that could lead to
additional disciplinary measures.

“The agent, from what I’ve been told, has about six years of experience and
is in Phase 2 of his career is assigned to Vice President Kamala Harris’s
protective detail,” said Crabtree in her report. “After the social media
posts came to light, the agent deleted his accounts so any internal agency
review would need to verify those deleted accounts as his. That’s
apparently why he hasn’t been disciplined more severely and swiftly.”

Crabtree’s information came directly from Secret Service spokesman Anthony
Gugilielmi, who clarified that Hamil’s controversial statements—which
equated President-elect Donald Trump, American voters, and his fellow
coworkers to “chodes” and “nazis”—as not representative of the Agency’s
values.

“The U.S. Secret Service recently became aware of alleged social media
posts by an employee that have prompted an internal review,” said
Gugilielmi. “We are taking this matter seriously, and this employee’s
assigned duties have been modified while this review is underway.”

“These comments in no way represent the views or values of the Secret
Service, and we maintain and enforce rigorous codes of conduct governing
employee actions both on and off duty,” he continued.

Crabtree would go on to elaborate that the Agency’s hiring practices and
standards have seen a marked downturn in the past decade, which may have
led to Hamil—who admitted to suffering from a debilitating mix of Autism
and clinical depression in the past—may have narrowly sneaked his way to a
security clearance.

She also states that the issue could be further exacerbated as the USSS
currently outsources hiring to civilian “human resource officials,” who
favor Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion goals and have no experience in the
complicated and elite task of guarding the Executive Branch.

Since the Justice Report first went public with its bombshell findings,
Hamil’s inarguable links to the anti-White extremism movement, commonly
referred to as “Antifa,” have been picked up by many Conservative news
outlets. In addition to RealClearPolitics, the story has been tailed by the
Gateway Pundit, Revolver News, and award-winning journalist Andy Ngo’s The
Post Millennial.

It has even gained the attention of the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight
Project, which called Hamil’s continued appointment as Special Agent
“inexcusable.”

“This is inexcusable. It’s made worse by the fact it was discovered not by
the Secret Service but by external sources,” read a post made to the
Oversight Project’s official X/Twitter page, which submitted additional
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests regarding Agent Hamil. “We
expect immediate cooperation.”

While it is unclear if Special Agent Thomas Jack “TJ” Hamil really does
intend to “sue” the Justice Report, his latest move can only be interpreted
as an act of desperation as his antifascist allies distance themselves from
a proverbial train wreck. Needless to say, the Justice Report will not be
removing the TJ Hamil story from its website and will legally defend itself
from attempts to silence and intimidate citizen journalism.
