More than a dozen FBI whistleblowers have come forward to Republican investigators in Congress, according to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH).
The congressman, who is the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, told Fox News host Trey Gowdy the number has risen to 14 after the FBI raid at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort.
During a conversation about alleged politicization at the Justice Department, along with former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, Jordan made the case that the public has "figured it out" when it comes to what he characterized as the Left generating a lie, the "Big Media" reporting the lie, Big Tech amplifying the lie, and then both piling on Republicans when they catch on and say something. He said there are agents in the bureau who have realized the same.
"Fourteen FBI agents have come to our office as whistleblowers, and they are good people," Jordan said. "There are lots of good people in the FBI. It's the top that is the problem. Some of these good agents are coming to us, telling us what is baloney, what’s going on — the political nature now of the Justice Department — God bless them for doing it — talking about the school board issue, about a whole host of issues."
This would appear to be quite a bump from a little more than two months ago, when Jordan told Fox News host Laura Ingraham that, in total, six FBI officials have approached the committee, two related to a controversy surrounding a school boards memo and four related to Jan. 6. At the time, in early June, Jordan sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray warning that multiple former FBI officials were coming forward with information suggesting the bureau was "purging" employees with conservative viewpoints.
On the Senate side, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has disclosed his team received whistleblower disclosures, including disclosures related to the federal investigation into Hunter Biden.
"It is becoming a well-worn trail of agents who say, 'This has got to stop.' And thank goodness for them," Jordan said on Sunday. He also expressed the view that voters will vote in a Republican majority in Congress, allowing the GOP more power to carry out a bevy of investigations.
Well, I’ve been saying for literally years that until some of the “good people” step forward and denounce the crimes being committed by their bosses then they aren’t really good people. Maybe a few of them are finally coming through. I just hope it’s not a setup. Because I no longer trust even FBI whistleblowers to not be playing a con game on the right. But we’ll see.
Agree.
OK, so when do the televised prime time hearings start?
Encouraged!
Not until Republicans take Congress.
If I was running the corrupt FBI I would send out fake whistleblowers with outlandish claims to muddy the waters and discredit legitimate claims.
Glad to read that my feeling that there are still some trustworthy & honest FBI folks out there is true. However, we really need to figure out what punishment will be appropriate for the sewer dwellers at the top. As for that slimeball leader, a rusty guillotine comes to mind.
Send them to a Grand Jury and stop wasting Americans’ time with worthless hearings
Until I see them testify in a federal court, they don’t mean crap to me, and I still say the entire organization is full of criminals.
14 is a good start. But hundreds should be coming forward.
Good—but it is still much deeper than just the top at this point.
The Boston field office, for example, has been corrupt going back at least 40 years.
That’s a very good point. Put nothing past this now Damaged Goods version of the FBI.
Hope they know to buy burner phones and leave their primary at home......(or on a freight train)
Yup. "I'm agent Mulder, and the real reason Trump was raided was because he had the secret files on Bigfoot. THIS INFORMATION NEEDS TO BE SHARED WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!!"
It’s time for one of the cable channels to play the movie “Black Mass” again.
Hannity had it backwards, 99% are bad guys, 1% are good guys.
Yep. Hannity lives in a different reality.
So true. The only way out of this is to identify everyone involved in their actions. A bottoms up approach.
The agency that created misinformation campaigns. Proceed with extreme caution.
