Watch Rep. Jordan clash with Rep. Plaskett on the credibility of FBI whistleblowers

Three self-described FBI whistleblowers, who are key to the Republican narrative that the FBI is weaponized against conservatives, testified at a House hearing Thursday. Republicans framed the whistleblowers as courageous for coming forward with their claims. Democrats, raised concerns about their access to information about some of those claims and questioned the credibility of the individuals testifying. CNN's Sara Murray reports. #CNN #News

They're not FBI whistleblowers. Why you ask?
Because the FBI said so.
This is hilarious

[colehazlitt]

Did CNN really just use the phrase "alternate theories"?

[davidkendall]

As someone who actually watched the hearing, this coverage is a horrible mischaracterization of the information presented.

[clarkclarks_rawmencart]

Watch the full video. Listen to their testimonies.

FBI - "We investigated ourselves and determined there was no wrong doing"

[andrewpinson]

If you want to get an idea of who watches CNN please read these comments. Says it all.

[landenwillard]

FBI: We've looked into ourselves and determined we are not corrupt also anyone who says otherwise will not recieve whistleblower status.

[jrwhite]

"They're not whistleblowers because the FBI said they weren't"

[JohnSmith-pnit]

When people put their careers on the line to expose corruption AND what they say can be verified and corroborated, they ARE whistleblowers.

[mikegraham]

These whistleblowers are American heroes.

I wouldn't call it a clash. I'd call this "Black Woman tries to correct a mentally ill old man"

"Hey, Gym, OSU here. We need to chat."

[kathyrama]

GYM'S star witnesses are duds. These guys didn't lose their security clearances for urinating in public. If they broke the law, they deserved what they got. GYM doesn't mind turning his head to unsavory happenings.

[dbreiden]

What the hell is the point of these hearings?

[thomasmahoney]

Wow, now that was balanced “so called”. Why doesn’t CNN ever present each side on issues?

[Pinkpalmpuff-sf]

CNN you are so out of touch and so many people are seeing you don't want to engage in serious journalism. Please listen.

[G_Demolished]

Gym Jordan was that kid who didn’t do his homework and tried to pass the test with Cliffs Notes.

[johns.greene]

Disgruntled employees that had their clearance removed. They could not be trusted. It's an HR problem. Jordan is making it into something else

[TheBigStink]

Why did Jacket- off gym try to get a pardon for himself?

The one thing that I got out of this was that they split up the Jan 6th investigation into hundreds of smaller investigations by moving the case of each person involved to the state they were from, then added some cases of parents at school board meetings into the mix, and the outcome was "we got so many cases to investigate!, we need more money!"....and so they gave them the money and they gave them the bonuses to go with it, thats gangster as shit right there, well played FBI
