Jim Jordan’s absurdly named House Subcommittee on the “Weaponization of the Federal Government”<\/em> held a hearing Thursday that featured three former FBI agents who claim to be “whistleblowers.”<\/em> However, that claim appears to be rooted in nonsense and crackpot conspiracy theories.<\/p>\n

The witnesses that Jordan invited to testify have already lost their security clearances<\/a><\/strong> due to misconduct related to their participation in, or support for, the January 6th insurrection that was incited by Donald Trump. What’s more, they are being financially supported by Kash Patel, a close Trump aide. Consequently, their credibility is suspect, to say the least.<\/p>\n

During the hearing, Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman confronted Jordan with regard to his refusal to share the transcripts of witness testimony that was previously given in private and exclusively to Republicans on the Committee. Goldman pointed out that the Committee rules require such testimony to be provided to all members. Which is something that Jordan, as chairman, should know. But after apprising Jordan of these facts, the following exchange took place…<\/p>\n

Goldman:<\/strong> [Reading from the rules] “Such records shall be the property of the House and each member delegate, and the resident commissioner, shall have access thereto.”<\/em> Why does that not apply? Where is the whistleblower exception in the rules of Congress that says that does not apply?
\nJordan:<\/strong> It is the prerogative of the Committee to decide.
\nGoldman:<\/strong> No it’s not.
\nJordan:<\/strong> We have the whistleblower’s testimony. The whistleblower does not wish that to be made available to the Democrats at this time.
\nGoldman:<\/strong> The whistleblower doesn’t make Committee rules, sir.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Rep. Dan Goldman nails Jim Jordan for refusing to share testimony transcripts with Democrats in violation of House rules.<\/p>\n
