Weaponization Committee kicks off with a bang; FBI caught infiltrating mainstream religious groups;
?
? Yesterday, House Republicans delivered on another promise and convened the first meeting of the Committee to Investigate the Weaponization of the Federal Government Against Americans.

Chair Jim Jorden began the meeting stating the following list of remarkable facts:

[On] November 18th, 2021, an FBI whistleblower disclosed to Republicans on the house Judiciary that the FBI created a threat tag for parents voicing their concerns at school board meetings.
April 26th, 2022, another FBI whistleblower discloses that the FBI employees are being run out of the Bureau for attending conservative political events.
May 11th, 2022, another FBI whistleblower discloses that dozens of parents with the threat tag designation to their name are investigated by the FBI. This also happens to be the same whistleblower who said the FBI leadership — not the rank and file members — the FBI leadership is “rotted at its core.” His clearance has been revoked and he’s been suspended.
June 7th, 2022 another FBI whistleblower is retaliated against after giving feedback on an “anonymous” survey.
July 27th, 2022, another FBI whistleblower discloses that agents are pressured to reclassify cases as domestic violent extremism cases to hit self-created performance metrics.
September 14th, 2022 an FBI at whistleblower discloses that the FBI views the Betsy Ross flag as a terrorist symbol.
September 19th, 2022, another FBI whistleblower discloses that the Washington field office is deliberately manipulating January 6 case files to make it appear that domestic violence extremism is on the rise. He’s been suspended.
November 4th, 2022, another FBI whistleblower discloses the FBI accepts private user information from Facebook without the user’s consent and the information is from ONLY the conservative side of the political Spectrum.
Representative Jordan explained it’s not just a handful of good FBI agents. The Committee says it has “dozens and dozens” of FBI whistleblowers, and even more evidence of never-before-seen levels of federal overreach:

This is only a sampling. In my time in Congress I have never seen anything like this: dozens and dozens of whistleblowers FBI agents coming to us talking about what’s going on the political nature at the Justice Department.
Now, Jim Jordan’s not saying this, not Republicans, not conservatives — it’s good, brave FBI agents who are willing to come forward and give us the truth. And this is just the FBI.
Americans have concerns about the double standard at the Department of Justice. Americans have concerns about the “disinformation governance board” that the Department of Homeland Security tried to form. Americans have concerns about the ATF, and what they’re doing to the Second Amendment. And of course, they have concerns about the IRS, and the thousands of new agents who are coming to that organization. And finally, there are concerns about what we’ve learned in the Twitter files. where Big Government and Big Tech colluded to shape and mold The Narrative and to suppress information and censor Americans.

……………….more……………..

The Committee interviewed several current and former FBI agents. To give you some flavor, one witness was courageous former agent Nicole Parker, who broke down into tears during her testimony. She described there being “two FBIs,” which have been “politically weaponized,” and described the poisonous angst that agents feel knowing that the public is losing respect and trust for the agency.

Let me know if the heroic last minute of Nicole’s testimony in that clip doesn’t get to you. In which case, we need to talk.

Democrats on the Committee seemed incredulous that anyone have any reason whatsoever to think that the FBI has been anything but purely motivated, totally fair, and even-handed. These are the same people who, if Trump’s DOJ had even glanced in their general direction, would’ve howled like a rhesus monkey watching the macaque reach through the bars and steal a bunch of bananas that he’d earmarked for himself for later.
