... Not long after telling his supervisors he wouldn't help with Capitol riot cases, [Christopher Dunham, FBI assistant director] wrote, [Steve] Friend "entered FBI space and downloaded documents from FBI computer systems to an unauthorized removable flash drive" and also "publicly released sensitive FBI information on his personal social media accounts without authorization." ...

That does not look like a whistleblower's actions to me, it looks more like a criminal's actions to me.

"You are not entitled to it": Jordan hearing blows up after he withholds "whistleblower" testimony
www.salon.com

...The "weaponization" subcommittee hearing began with testimony from self-proclaimed "whistleblowers" from the FBI, who claim that the bureau engaged in corrupt, political misconduct.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., however, called out the credibility of FBI agent Stephen Friend, who had his security clearance revoked by the bureau.

"You... claim that your top secret security clearance was improperly revoked. Yet an independent investigation concluded that you demonstrated a number of security concerns, which included that you refused to execute a court-ordered arrest warrant, and when you downloaded documents from intelligence systems to an unauthorized removable flash drive," Wasserman Schultz said.

"The cherry on top could be your unauthorized recording of executive management, which, as I'm sure you know, violates Florida law, along with your unsanctioned interviews with Sputnik News, established by the Russian government in 2014 and fully owned by the Kremlin and Putin's cronies," she continued.

"I think it's clear who is weaponizing government," she added....

Jim Jordan's FBI Whistleblower Hearing Descends Into Chaos
www.newsweek.com

...On Thursday, the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, which Jordan chairs, held a hearing to examine alleged abuses within the FBI. The House panel heard from two suspended FBI agents and one former agent, who claimed that their employer retaliated against them for speaking out about the bureau.

The FBI denied those claims. The bureau told Newsweek that it "has not and will not retaliate against individuals who make protected whistleblower disclosures."

The tumultuous hearing was rocky from the start. Just after the three witnesses made their opening statements before committee members, Ranking Member Stacey Plaskett asked Jordan why the transcripts of the witness testimonies made to Republicans before the hearing were not being shared with the panel's Democratic members.

"We can talk about the testimony but right now you're not getting the testimony," Jordan responded after a back-and-forth. When Representative Plaskett pressed if the testimony would be handed over at a later date, Jordan refused to answer and began the questioning period of the hearing instead....

Wait, what?!?!?

Rep Jordan seems to be refusing to share witness testimony with the committee members who are not Republicans?

More from the article...
... Throughout the hearing, Democratic committee members repeatedly called out Jordan for violating House rules by withholding the evidence gathered with the other side, arguing that the minority is entitled to the same information as the majority. ...

"Why does that not apply?" Goldman asked Jordan, who said the committee had the "prerogative" to decide and that the whistleblower did not want the Democratic members to have the testimony. Goldman told Jordan that, "the whistleblower doesn't make committee rules," before the chairman pushed on with the hearing.

So, this is starting to look like yet another farce committee meeting chaired by Rep Jordan.
