You will not be shocked to learn that the FBI “whistleblowers” interviewed by Jim Jordan’s “Weaponization” subcommittee have virtually no firsthand knowledge of “Deep State” conspiracies inside the bureau, according to separate reporting by Rolling Stone and the New York Times.
The Times obtained a copy of a report by the Dem staff on the Committee which concluded that the three witnesses who have testified privately so far don’t even meet the definition of whistleblower as they aren’t current employees and are – very unsurprisingly – simply right wing assholes with a history of pushing MAGA bullshit. “Each endorses an alarming series of conspiracy theories related to the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, the Covid vaccine, and the validity of the 2020 election,” the report says. “One has called repeatedly for the dismantling of the FBI. Another suggested that it would be better for Americans to die than to have any kind of domestic intelligence program.”
According to Rolling Stone, one of the witnesses, former FBI supervisory intelligence analyst George Hill, admitted to the Dem committee staff lawyers in an interview he had little or no firsthand knowledge of the supposed “deep state” plots and his counsel begged the Dem lawyer to stop asking about Hill’s “Cancer! GO FASTER!” reply to a tweet by Congresswoman Lauren Boebert in which she suggested that President Biden had been diagnosed with cancer. An anonymous Republican source told Rolling Stone that the interviews with these witnesses – again, there are only three of them in contrast to Jordan’s promise of “dozens and dozens” of whistleblowers – have been “very much amateur hour,” and that airing them “on live television would make us look like morons.”
