## History

### Founding

The Group was originally founded as a Political Action group. Eckstein, a Republican Senator from Montana and Michael Waters, then Associate Deputy Director of the FBI. The original motives were corrupt, but not terroristic in nature. Waters worked with Eckstein, then Chair of the Intelligence Committee to get information on Presidential Candidates running in the 2020 Election. Eventually things took a turn, Marlin Sherene, Senate President Pro Tempere was assassinated by Waters, Sharene was prepared to go public with his knowledge of Waters and his group. Eckstein disagreed with killing, and thought of what Waters did as disgusting. Eckstein decided to leave the group, he resigned from Senate and went on the run from Waters.

Waters then turned the group into his own personal vehicle for causing terror and pushing his own agenda. Waters recruited many former ISIS and Al Qaeda terrorists to join him on attacks against the United States. He got them jobs within the FBI and other government agencies

### Dissolution

On February 18th, 2023 FBI Director Emily Griffin announced that the group was officially inactive, and no new coordinators had been arrested for several months. The United States House Select Committee on Domestic Terrorism also closed it’s investigation the same day.

After the resignation of Emily Griffin as FBI Director, several conspiracy theories about her being involved with the Group of Fifty flooded the internet. On April 9th 2023 The FBI revealed that an unidentified agent had been working undercover in the group during it’s existence. The agent later identified as the husband of Director Griffin, Arthur Griffin through leaked documents on WikiLeaks was subjected to investigation by the Federal Anti-Corruption Agency (FACA) the results of the FACA investigation were released on October 9th, 2023 it concluded that both Director and Agent Griffin had improperly used their positions to collect evidence against several group members.

On March 4th, 2024 the FBI released the Waters File, the first major FBI document regarding the investigation to be declassified. The file discussed the involvement of several top White House officials, including Homeland Security Advisor Brian Canek, Deputy White House Communications Director Gregory Brook, and Senior Advisor to the President Richard Clyde. The FBI also declassified that over 10 of it’s employees, 6 of which were Special Agents were actively involved in the group. The FBI also disclosed it’s belief that the Group planned the death of Marlin Sherene, previously thought to have been a suicide, fingerprints found at Sherene’s location of death were matched to Deputy Director Waters after his death.

### Successor

*Main Article: Christie Camp*

After the destruction of the Group of Fifty, surviving member Jen Tha reorganized the group into her own personal militant group. Unlike the Group of Fifty, Tha's cell, nicknamed by the media as the Christie Camp after it was learned that Olivia Christie, formerly thought to be dead was alive. Christie surrendered herself into FBI custody on December 6th, 2024. On December 7th, the states of Maryland and Virginia, as well as Washington D.C. were forced into a Lockdown to search for Tha, who reportedly was on her way to the airport. On December 8th a National Lockdown had been imposed by President Steve Louvak, all US Police and Army forces were ordered to patrol cities and towns searching for Tha. The Metropolitan Police Services in the UK also reported that they saw Tha in London, so London also went into Lockdown, the Canadian cities of Vancouver, Windsor, Toronto, Niagara Falls and Montrèal were also placed in lockdown citing concerns over border crossings by Tha.

## Aftermath

### Documents

In the aftermath of the FBI’s Investigation, a leaked memo between FBI Special Agent Jamie Rhodes and Deputy Attorney General John Bosherman known as the *Rhodes Memo* disclosed the identities of several conspirators, including several senior government officials including Representative Holden Burde, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Alexis Richards and Former Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Keegan Dicareno.

This memo was the first confirmation that the Group of Fifty had contained government officials outside of the FBI. The Memo was leaked by a staffer in the Deputy Attorney General’s office. Rhodes himself responded to the memo by confirming it’s legitimacy saying, “The memo between myself and DAG Bosherman is legitimate, however these individuals and their amount of involvement has not yet been determined.” He also added, “The FBI has also confirmed the involvement of former Senator Jason Eckstein in the plot early on, however we have no reason to believe Eckstein was involved in any major attacks.”

Several more classified documents regarding the investigation were leaked to the press, a classified letter addressed to the Director-General of Security, the head of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation from FBI Director Emily Griffin said that two Australian Nationals working for the agency had improperly handed classified documentation over to FBI agent Aiden Woods. Woods, while cleared to handle Intelligence in the United States was not cleared to handle Australian Intelligence. The documents handed to Woods would allow them to frame several individuals for terrorism.

An unauthorized document on Deputy Director Waters was found in the archives of the CIA Headquarters, the document outlined a variety of security concerns regarding his conduct. The final paragraph in the document outlined a report from a confidential CIA report, one of the lines read, "The conduct that Deputy Director Waters is exhibiting is similar to that of Aldrich Ames and Robert Hanssen. Management should consider authorizing the monitoring of communications and devices until further notice to ensure national security." The document was later discovered to have been authored by CIA Operative Julian Vasquez and the aforementioned report was authored by Special Assistant to the FBI Deputy Director Randy Coolidge who was spying on Waters for the CIA.
