Rep. Jim Jordan put President Joe Biden and his Justice Department on notice days after FBI agents conducted an unprecedented raid on former President Trump’s home.
The Ohio Republican and ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee told Fox News host Trey Gowdy that some 14 FBI whistleblowers have come forward following the raid a week ago on Trump’s Mar-A-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.
They took boxes of documents from Trump’s home and also said that Trump could have documents pertaining to nuclear codes at his home. The raid lasted a little over nine hours.
The Washington Examiner reported:
During a conversation about alleged politicization at the Justice Department, along with former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, Jordan made the case that the public has “figured it out” when it comes to what he characterized as the Left generating a lie, the “Big Media” reporting the lie, Big Tech amplifying the lie, and then both piling on Republicans when they catch on and say something. He said there are agents in the bureau who have realized the same.
“Fourteen FBI agents have come to our office as whistleblowers, and they are good people,” Jordan noted. “There are lots of good people in the FBI. It’s the top that is the problem. Some of these good agents are coming to us, telling us what is baloney, what’s going on — the political nature now of the Justice Department — God bless them for doing it — talking about the school board issue, about a whole host of issues.”
About two months ago, Jordan told Fox News host Laura Ingraham that a half-dozen agents had approached his committee regarding a controversial order from Attorney General Merrick Garland. The order was for the FBI to begin monitoring parents who showed up to local school board meetings angry about divisive curriculum and sexually explicit materials in schools and libraries.
The six agents also expressed concerns about the events on January 6 at the U.S. Capitol Building.
In June, Jordan sent FBI Director Christopher Wray a letter warning that some of his agents had come forward with whistleblower complaints including one claiming that the bureau was “purging” staff with conservative points of view.
And Senator Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) has revealed that his staff has received whistleblower complaints and revelations including those related to the federal probe of Hunter Biden.
“It is becoming a well-worn trail of agents who say, ‘This has got to stop.’ And thank goodness for them,” Jordan said on Sunday.
Grassley has accused Biden’s Justice Department and FBI of covering up for Hunter Biden, who has been accused of various tax violations and foreign lobbying statutes, as well as lying on a federal firearms background check form.
The New York Post reported that both agencies have been accused by “highly credible whistleblowers” of burying “verified and verifiable” information about the president’s son as “disinformation.”
Many are calling for the FBI to be defunded in the wake of the raid of Trump’s home.
