    Jordan and his clowns are all buffoons. They are a sad sack crew who do not have a clue. That a man of Garland's integrity and gravitas would not want to deal with these morons makes perfect sense. But, unlike Jordan, Garland was willing to appear and testify and answer questions before Congress. When the right wingers in Congress asked him questions, they sounded like idiots on a partisan brigade parade, with conclusions made before facts, looking for anything that would fit their narrative to the exclusion of all else. This isn't about truth, justice, and rule of law and finding of facts about the 'weaponization of the DOJ' , this is about kissing Donald Trump's butt, this is about the weaponization of Congress.

    As for the 'whistleblower, let's get one thing clear: they are not whistleblowers. First off, they were sponsored by Kash Patel, a partisan.

    https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/jim-jordan-hearing-whistleblower-fbi-rcna85096

    It’s important, first, to dispel the myth that these agents count as whistleblowers. To be officially designated whistleblowers, FBI employees must follow specific procedures. None of Jordan’s witnesses did so, thus, none of them was granted whistleblower status. More importantly, real FBI whistleblowers must also legitimately attempt to make what’s known as a protected disclosure of serious misconduct or criminal wrongdoing — usually described as waste, fraud or abuse. Yet, the only fraud this hearing exposed was the myth that these claimants are well-meaning patriots.

    FBI employee Marcus Allen testified Thursday that he lost his clearance in part because he was simply trying to urge his colleagues to be careful with how they investigated January 6. However, Dunham’s letter says Allen was found to have obstructed the investigation of a January 6 subject. Specifically, the letter says Allen told an agent that there was no information indicating that a particular individual had committed a crime or had a connection to terrorism. Based on that assertion, the agent closed the case. However, another FBI employee found readily available public information about this unnamed subject — who the FBI determined physically assaulted a U.S. Capitol police officer — and passed it to the agent who then re-opened the case.

    Allen is also accused of repeatedly espousing conspiracy theories — including that the U.S. government participated in the January 6 violence — to his office mates. According to Wednesday’s letter, he used his FBI email account to send to colleagues a link to a website that claimed, “By now it’s clear that federal law enforcement had some degree of infiltration among the crowds gathered at the Capitol on January 6.” The letter says Allen then added that the website he linked to “brings up serious concerns about USG participation.”

    Special Agent Stephen Friend testified that he lost his clearance as a form of retaliation for his beliefs that the U.S. government participated in the Jan. 6 violence. But according to the FBI, Friend’s clearance was revoked after he refused to take part in a court-authorized arrest of a Jan. 6 subject affiliated with the Three Percenters organization. The FBI knew the subject was armed with an assault rifle, had evidence that he’d chemically sprayed officers at the U.S. Capitol and appeared in photos taken that day dressed in full tactical gear and helmet. The subject was suspected of having committed a misdemeanor, but the FBI correctly decided its SWAT team should assist in the arrest. Friend decided that was too aggressive an approach and walked away from his assignment.

    As the FBI’s letter noted, an investigation also determined that Friend entered FBI space after hours and downloaded sensitive documents onto an unapproved flash drive. The agency says that when he was asked to take remedial security awareness training, he refused. He’s also accused of secretly recording his FBI supervisors in violation of Florida law. The FBI’s investigation concluded that since his departure from the FBI, former agent Friend gave “multiple unapproved” interviews, including to a Russian media outlet, and he lacked candor while being investigated.

    Friend quit the FBI rather than let the administrative process concerning his employment play out. And on Thursday, he didn’t address the FBI’s explanation for taking away his security clearance.

    Lest you be concerned about Friend’s future, it appears that he’ll be fine. According to The New York Times, which obtained a 316-page report Democrats put together after three witnesses in the weaponization subcommittee privately testified, Friend testified that Trump adviser Kash Patel sent Friend $5,000 soon after they connected in November and has helped promote the book Friend’s writing about his supposed plight. The Democrats’ report says Patel got Friend his job at the Center for Renewing America, a right-wing think tank.

    The FBI’s letter explains that employee Brett Gloss, who did not testify Thursday, had his security clearance revoked based on a concern for his “allegiance to the United States,” his “personal conduct” and his “criminal conduct.” Specifically, the letter says Gloss breached Capitol security on Jan. 6, 2021 and criminally trespassed into the restricted zone. It says he expressed support for the criminal actions of protesters inside the Capitol and lied to investigators about his whereabouts and what he witnessed. He also allegedly betrayed his colleagues by providing photos of FBI agents to someone known to publicly post FBI information that may lead to violence against FBI personnel.

    [...]

    Fox News covered much of Jordan’s charade live on Thursday, while other outlets chose not to. That makes sense for a network that a court determined repeatedly aired falsehoods about fraud in the 2020 election because it fit its preferred narrative. Like other conspiracy theories, this one — that the FBI retaliated against conservative right-wing employees for merely speaking their minds — must be exposed as the fraud that it is. The whistle needs to be blown on the members of Congress perpetrating this fiction

    They are not sponsored by Kash.... the whistleblowers have long lost their jobs and incomes.. Kash did not seek out and sponsor them... please stop spreading misinformation...

    They are whistleblowers... no matter how much you try to spin it... looks like the DOJ does not even guarantee the life of American citizens...

    He has no choice. Thee House has constitutional oversight powers and the power of impeachment. When demanding the production of evidence in an impeachment hearing, Dirtbag Merrick will comply.

    You're essentially just pounding the table.

    [​IMG]

    Kevin McCarthy says he'll start impeachment of AG Merrick Garland by July 6 over bombshell IRS whi…

    Corrupt Lying Dirtbag Merrick Garland has simply been too brazen in his lawlessness.

    'And if its true what the IRS whistleblower is saying, we're going to start impeachment inquiries on the attorney general,' says McCarthy.'

    Good. Without an impeachment inquiry vote, Dirtbag Merrick will just stonewall, with a vote for Impeachment Inquiry, Dirtbag Merrick will be compelled to produce the requested evidence and testimony necessary to get to the bottom of who is lying to Congress; Dirtbag Merrick or the Whistleblowers. Also, consider the fact that it was Weiss who is lying.

    'The House plans to take this action following new allegations by IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley, a 14-year veteran of the agency, claiming that Hunter Biden has been given preferential treatment by investigators looking into his tax affairs and lying on a gun permit application.'

    'Shapley pointed to a WhatsApp message sent on July 30, 2017, by Hunter to Chinese Communist Party official Henry Zhao, threatening him to follow his 'orders' and saying his dad was with him. Shapley alleges he raised concerns about the WhatsApp message to DOJ prosecutors, who rebuffed his concerns.'

    THE HOUSE WILL TAKE WEISS' TESTIMONY

    'McCarthy said on Fox & Friends Monday that U.S. Attorney David Weiss - who led the investigation into Hunter and charged the president's son last week for violating federal tax and gun laws after a 5-year probe - must appear before the House Judiciary Committee.'

    Feds Built $2.2M Tax Case vs. Hunter Biden Before Being Thwarted

    'Earliest evidence involved $400,000 in undeclared income from Burisma energy deal in Ukraine, whistleblowers allege to Congress.'

    Joe Biden says he needs 80,000 more IRS agents to make sure that the rich and privileged pay their taxes.

    'Supervisory IRS Agent Gary Shapley told Congress in bombshell testimony made public Thursday that federal agents had evidence Hunter Biden had failed to pay about $2.2 million in taxes dating to 2014 and planned to pursue multiple felonies before they were thwarted by political appointees of the Justice Department.'

    'That alleged interference, according to Shapley and a second IRS whistleblower, ranged from refusing to approve search warrants and specific indictments sought in Washington D.C. and Los Angeles to allowing the statute of limitation to expire on some of the more serious offenses.'

    'The meddling was so extensive, Shapley said, “there is no way of knowing if evidence of other criminal activity existed concerning Hunter Biden or President Biden.”'

    That was the point of the meddling.

    '“The report includes itemized elements of each violation for each year. This recommended felony tax evasion charges, that's 7201, is tax evasion, and 7206(1) is a false tax return, also a felony, for the tax years 2014, 2018, and 2019,” Shapley explained in his transcribed interview with the House Ways and Means Committee.'

    'Democrats for years suggested reporters like this one who reported stories questioning Hunter Biden’s dealings with Burisma were conspiracy theorists and that former President Donald Trump deserved to be impeached in 2019 for asking Ukraine to investigate the Burisma relationship.'

    'But those long held arguments have crumbled in the last month, first with the revelation that the FBI had a trusted informant who reported as early as 2017 that the Burisma dealing may have involved a $10 million bribery scheme directly involving Joe Biden. The FBI says that evidence is still under investigation.'

    'And then Shapley and his colleague, another IRS agent who blew the whistle, alleged the $1 million in annual payments Hunter Biden got from Burisma also involved crimes in which Hunter Biden constructed a scheme to avoid paying taxes.'

    “The years in question included foreign income from Burisma and a scheme to evade his income taxes through a partnership with a convicted felon,” Shapley explained. “There were also potential FARA issues relating to 2014 in 2015."

    Not even the partisan investigator Billy the Bagman assigned to get dirt on the FBI concluded that. Meaning, it's another of your beliefs coming from thin air.

    Instead of incessantly blowing gas, the chronic whiners should actually bring impeachment charges against the Attorney General, the President, and other members of his administration that make them so pissy.

    The vapid bluster is tedious.

    I would assign a special prosecutor, and get to work. Criminal charges in federal court, preferably outside of DC...

    BRING IT ON: More Evidence Against Hunter Biden Is Coming.

    How big is the sewer of filth that Dirtbag Merrick Garland sold his soul to conceal?

    The DOJ deliberately obstructed the investigation into Hunter Biden

    'Comer made the revelation while discussing recent denials by Attorney General Merrick Garland of the allegations made by two IRS whistleblowers, who said that the Department of Justice stymied the investigation of Hunter Biden.'

    Corrupt Lying Dirtbag Merrick 'Garland had claimed that Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss had full authority to investigate Hunter Biden as he saw fit. But according to testimony from whistleblower Gary Shapley, an IRS agent, Weiss said he was not the deciding official on whether charges against Hunter Biden would be filed. Shapley testified that Weiss told agents he wanted to file charges against Hunter in Washington, D.C., but “the Biden-appointed D.C. U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves would not allow him to charge in his District.”'

    So then he requested Special Counsel status that would have allowed him to file anyway, and it appears that Lying Dirtbag Merrick blocked him. It's time to get both Weiss and Garland in front of Congress so we can all determine who is lying to investigators and The American People.

    “He just stood up and lied to the American people. Merrick Garland has destroyed the reputation of the Justice cabinet. He has destroyed the reputation of justice in America. He needs to go,” Comer told Newsmax. “There’s no way he could defend the indefensible by saying that he has treated Democrats in the same manner that he has treated Republicans, specifically the way he treated the president of the United States’ son.”

    Comer's clearly right. Dirtbag Merrick is a ugly stain on the face of the DOJ and the United States of America. If his obstruction was criminal, he needs to do time in prison.

    Get that lying bastards Merrick on record telling lie after lie after lie to congress, each lie a separate chargeable felony. Comer claims he has the receipts.

    So, how many countries were bribing the Biden Crime Family that Dirtbag Merrick is trying to cover for?

    “Let me assure the American people … we have bank records that came in this week that we’re going through that we think are going to show more wires from more countries,” he said. “Remember, we just disclosed two countries thus far, we’ve disclosed China and Romania. There are still some more Chinese wires that we have yet to present to the American people.”

    IRS Whistleblower Says Justice Department Slowed and Stymied the Hunter Biden Tax Investigation. Deliberately running out the clock the Statute of Limitations.

    Comer concluded, “We are still producing results, every day, that shows this family, the President of the United States’ family, has received millions and millions of dollars from our adversaries all over the world… and they can’t explain why… they can’t explain what they did to produce that money.”

    The Delaware Trash in the WH via a rigged election is as filthy as they come, and Merrick Garland is their fixer.

    Dare to dream. But you're probably right. With democrats in the Senate, there's no likely prosecution of one of their own. So Impeachment is likely not also an option.

    More Damning Biden/ChiCom Evidence for the Corrupt DOJ to Ignore Emerges.

    'The Department of 'Justice’s' recent attempt to sweep its Hunter Biden problem under the rug via a slap on the wrist has met with firm resistance in the form of the House Oversight Committee. While many Americans were disheartened by the “Daddy’s Boy” deal that the DOJ gave Hunter Biden, Kentucky Republican and Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer seems to have been made more determined than ever to dig up too much dirt to fit under any rug.'

    BUT OF COURSE: Hunter Biden Prosecutor Has Staggering Conflict of Interest.

    “Just how the Department of Justice came to give Hunter Biden a sweetheart plea deal, ignoring protocol and forgoing jail time, has become a question of keen interest for congressional members. Now, a new report is adding more intrigue to the saga. According to The Daily Mail, one of the prosecutors who was intimately involved in formulating the controversial deal once worked directly for one of Hunter Biden’s business partners.”

    'Weiss’s deputy, Assistant United States Attorney Derek Hines, signed off on the charging documents alongside his boss and two other assistant US attorneys – indicating he has a central role in Hunter’s criminal prosecution.'

    'According to Hines’s LinkedIn account, he previously worked as Special Counsel to ex-FBI director Louis Freeh at his private company, Freeh Group International Solutions, a lobbying and ‘risk management’ consultancy that teamed up with Hunter on overseas business currently under scrutiny by lawmakers.'

    'That’s where the conflict of interest comes in. Hines once worked directly for Louis Freeh. Who is Freeh? He’s a former FBI director that was in business with Hunter Biden to the tune of a $3 million deal. Hines wasn’t just some random FBI employee either. He served as special counsel to Freeh, meaning that would have had a very close professional relationship.'

    'This story is just astonishing to me. Is there really any excuse for the federal government to be this incestuous? Am I really to believe that the DOJ couldn’t manage to put a full team of prosecutors on such a contentious case without one of them having a connection to Hunter Biden’s business dealings?'
