Republicans in Washington DC did not have a very good week at all. I know they tried
to pretend they were having a good week with the Durham report that actually was a giant
nothing burger. And, you know, they were, they were having their hearings with the,
uh, so-called F B I whistleblowers. And that's when things really went to hell, especially
for Jim Jordan. Cuz you see the public, the media isn't buying into his crap anymore.
And that is starting to frustrate the heck at a Jim Jordan. Before we get to the idiotic
little press conference he held, it's important to point out the fact that during his hearings
this week, multiple democratic lawmakers, including Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Stacey
Plaskitt, both called out Jordan and his so-called FBI whistleblowers for not actually being
whistleblowers at all. They were disgruntled F B I employees, some of them who had their
security clearances revoked because of course they expressed sympathies for the January
6th protestors.
They spread conspiracies on social media and one of them actually refused, refused an order
to investigate January 6th capitol rioters. And that is why that individual lost his security
clearance insubordination. That's a thing that happens. But Jim Jordan is heralding
these people as some kind of, you know, outspoken people risking it all, putting it all on the
line. And by God they've risked so much to be here. And that's just what happened in
the hearings. It was the press conference after the hearings where things truly went
off the rails for Jim Jordan because a reporter reminded Jim Jordan that we really can't trust
these people because at least two of the three have been paid by Donald Trump, ally Kosh
Patel. And here is how Jim Jordan responded when confronted with that information. Take
a look. We're
Talking a lot about, in the point of this press conference, the point of the hearing
is to talk about how the FBI is politicized. But do you think it's appropriate for some
of these whistleblowers, including two who will be at your hearing today to be paid by
one of the former president's closest advisors, cash to tell who's active
They got a family, how they supposed to feed their family 450 days. The FBI has kept these,
uh, has kept Mr. O Boyle in, in limbo where he can't work without pay. He's got four kids.
He was selected to come to this special, uh, unit they were forming here in Virginia. He
moves his family and the day he gets here, the day he gets here, they say, Hey, we're
suspending your clearance. And they won't let him get access to his furniture, his clothes,
and he's got a two week old newborn child. I mean, you gotta be kidding me. Of course
they're gonna, they're gonna do whatever they can to feed their family and I don't fault
them for that. And just one more
Thing. Uh,
They gotta feed their families. I mean, who cares if they're being paid by the guy that
we are just trying to protect or, I mean, I know it's a total conflict of interest.
Uh, but I mean, do you want their kids to go hungry? Is that what you want? Liberals?
You want children to not have food. So what's a little under the table? Money between friends.
How if you gotta feed your kids, you gotta feed your kids. Jim Jordan is so painfully
comically bad at this. Like there's a million other things you could have come up with on
the spur of the moment other than they got kids to feed. Do go, darn it, dog nabbit,
whatever stupid thing you're trying to say there. Like, yeah, it would mean a lot more
that you're trying to protect his kids if you weren't a member of a party that right
now is trying to strip, uh, snap benefits from 3 million children across the country,
sending 3 million children into hunger.
So I don't believe for a second that you actually give a about kids having enough to eat because
your party is literally trying to take food off the table of children across the country.
Right now. What you're trying to do is deflect from the fact that your star witnesses who
have provided no evidence to back up anything they've said, you're covering for the fact
that Donald Trump's people paid these guys. And yes, that does immediately throw anything
they say into question. It immediately shows us what their motives truly are. These are
not whistleblowers. These are angry employees who got in trouble for not doing the jobs
they were hired to do. And that is their own fault. If you don't want to do the job, go
find a different job. If you're worried about how you're gonna feed your kids, maybe don't
go to work and make a complete of yourself and refuse to do the job that you were hired
to do. Kind of seems like bad parenting at that point. But the fact that these individuals,
at least two of them again, did get money from a Trump ally, definitely shows that these
men cannot be trusted. Their testimonies have been tainted. But that's all Jim Jordan has.
He doesn't have anybody else waiting in the wings. So he has to rely on these discredited
individuals, some of whom happen to be on Trump's good friend's payroll.
