GOP Attacks FBI to Protect Trump
Jim Jordan's Republican House Weaponization committee shamefully embraces right wing conspiracy theories on live TV.
To shield Donald Trump from criminal prosecution for attempting to overturn American democracy, the GOP Weaponization committee heard testimony from disgraced FBI agents that have embraced right wing domestic terrorists and deep state conspiracy theories. The January 6 Investigation is the largest in U.S. history with over a 1,000 people charged and members of right-wing militias convicted of seditious conspiracy by three separate juries. Despite this, a significant number of Republicans still voted to object to the results of the 2020 elections after the Insurrection that same day.

The security clearances of two men who testified at a House hearing were revoked over their actions in Jan. 6 cases, as was that of another agent who was on Capitol grounds that day.
Jim Jordan repeatedly denied Democratic politicians' requests to hear from 'whistleblowers' in the House Judiciary Committee hearing on what has been described as the 'weaponisation' of the FBI for political ends.
