If the Rolling Stone article is not your cup of tea there are numerous stories about this from lots of sources. Just not from Fox News.

"Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), the chair of the new House Judiciary’s “weaponization” subcommittee, opened its first hearing vowing that he’d heard from “dozens and dozens” of whistleblowers about “the political nature at the Justice Department.”


"IN EARLY FEBRUARY, Republicans brought an FBI veteran to Capitol Hill whom they hoped would expose a “deep state conspiracy” among Democrats and their accomplices in the intelligence community. The GOP witness was part of a network of “whistleblowers” — funneled to congressional Republicans’ new Weaponization of Government panel by allies of Donald Trump — to reveal covert attacks on the former president and broad, anti-conservative discrimination."

and

"But so far, Republicans have brought only three of those whistleblowers to Capitol Hill for questioning, and have not scheduled any additional interviews after completing the most recent in mid-February. In the interviews conducted to date, witnesses have offered contradictory responses, maintained fringe and violent online presences that undermine their credibility, and failed to demonstrate first-hand knowledge of alleged FBI wrongdoing."

and

"The whistleblower pipeline comes from a collaboration between Jordan, other MAGA lawmakers, and top officials in Trump’s orbit. Whistleblowers have received payments and legal counsel through this loose network; one whistleblower, Stephen Friend — a former FBI agent who brought concerns about the agency’s questioning of Jan. 6 protesters to Republicans — even received a job."

and

“Clearly there is room to grow and improve before [more] public hearings,” a Republican familiar with the process tells Rolling Stone. But the work so far, the Republican says, has been “very much amateur hour,” adding that airing this “stuff on live television would make us look like morons.”

Ya just can't make this stuff up!....

It turns out that the video of the Q - Shaman being led around the capitol by police, escorted around by capitol police in the building was withheld from his attorneys.  

The gov't lawyers did that.  That is called a crime and I imagine that the Q-Shaman lawyers will definitely use that to show that he may have been railroaded by the gov't.

And once again I noticed that your final act of desperation is use your attack the messenger ploy.

That is the one thing we can always count on with a guy like you. 

First try to smear the person who is bringing facts that you don't like and that don't fit the narrative of your leftist agenda to shut down free speech.  

You must be a Bill Ayers disciple.

Were you trained by his wife Bernardine Dohrn as well?

Is it perfect?  Far from it!  Consider that thousands of blacks were illegally jailed or even executed in the last century because of corrupt prosecutors.  This goes on today still.  But I believe this is not a rampant problem in the federal courts.  Time will tell if you are right.  Jim
