Rep. Jim Jordan recruited three alleged FBI whistleblowers paid by Trump associates to try to revive the failed weaponization of government hearings.
Jordan was asked before the hearing about the bogus whistleblower being paid by Trump associates.
REPORTER: Today’s hearing is about how the FBI is being politicized, and I think it’s appropriate that some of these whistleblowers be paid by one of President Trump’s former advisers. mosquito?

Jordan replied: “They have a family. How are you going to feed your family!!” Jordan continued, saying he has four children.
Rep. Jordan never mentioned the fact that his whistleblower was on President Trump’s payroll.
Rep. Jerry Connolly (D., Virginia) told the hearing that the witnesses were not whistleblowers, but federal employees with employment complaints.

Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee released a report in March proving that the whistleblower was a hoax and was being paid by a Trump associate.
These interviews also reveal the active involvement and orchestration of disturbing outside influences against the Witnesses and, in some cases, Republicans on the special subcommittee.
A network of organizations led by former Trump administration officials such as Kash Patel and Russell Vogt appears to have identified these witnesses, provided them with financial compensation, and placed them in post-FBI employment. These same people initially lobbied for the creation of a selection subcommittee. They seem to have a story to tell and are using the House Republicans to tell it.
These are false witnesses backed by Trump’s associates, and they are not fooling anyone. Jim Jordan has tried to survive numerous failed hearings in an attempt to spread conspiracy theories about the Deep State to help Donald Trump.
It’s not working, and Jordan and House Republicans have been unable to find credible evidence of wrongdoing or a vast conspiracy. Jordan’s hearings and commissions are nonsense and noise that Republicans hope to inject into the mainstream political debate to muddle the waters for the 2024 elections.
Jim Jordan has failed. With the 2024 presidential race about to heat up, his weaponization of government investigations looks like a money-wasting debacle.
