laws protecting whistleblowers. that s what i m sayingth is jaaw dropping. merrick garland would issueh mer such an order. orderissu is illegal. rs so i can offer whistleblowers anonymity and i can offer them the whistleblower protection afforded to them by law. let s talk a little bit aboute g joe rogan s podcast and mark zuckerberg going on theraney and him being approached by the fbi and him being told that itol was possible, the possibility of of russian disinformationussi justan before the release ofre the information on unabiding laptoption o, which seems rather convenient to me, which we all know now, was absolutely accurate. but with almost one voice, the democratic party, their friends in the media mob and big tech silenced the the story and squashed it by saying ,oh, that s likely russian disinformation. mation, it was not russian disinformation. and i ve seen numbers that 80%
if in fact those are proven true. and again, i thought the democrats like w whistleblowers. why wouldn t they want us to hear from them because of the embarrassment incriminate them? the bottom line here is that tha whistleblowers, as senator grassley has often said,t that the fbi developed the scheme in august of 2010th to downplay the derogatory information provided basically and the investigatiownplay oformation. whistleblowers in my office said that once the fbi got through subpoena biden s laptopb higher up said you will not look at that biden computer and then further that the fbi would not change the outcome of the election this electionth again. so obviously they wanted tod wat bury the biden laptop.ed they did not want tounte investigate it properly,ey their partizans and we need to expose all of this information.n now, the other thing that happened, interestingly, in august on august six twenty twenty this is when senator grassley and i a020, bot
they love whistleblowers or do they only like non whistleblowers, hearsay whistleblowers to attack donald trump? that would be rank hypocrisy. and meantime , senate republicans are now calling on big tech to reveal their communications with thefow fbi following the revelations from facebook ceino mark zuckerberg that the fbi wasrber directing the tech giantg, t tot be on the lookout for so-callede russian disinformation ahead of the twenty twenty election, which prompted facebook toromp censorted the very true and veu accurate unabiding laptop storry with the rest of the media. here now with reactionh th is wisconsin senator ron johnson. senator , first betweenhnson. grurself, senator charles grassley, congressman jim jordan, do you havas, doe au estimate of about how manyny wht whistleblowers have come forward? to first of all, we need to keepe those whistleblowers identity a protecteus d. so i m not going to reveal anything about them, but
why if these whistleblowers are coming forward with merit, garland and the doj send out a reminder memo that members of the department of justice, the fbi, are not to have contact with members of congress. it sounds like if you relking to talking to members of congressao and you are a whistleblower, there could be serious repercussions. am i reading that the right way? i reading thatthe right itway? o me. well, i mean, the problem is that it can be read thati way. and i think that merrick garland has to show a degree of greater leadership, not just in assuring the american people that the departmenplet will cooperate with oversight in congress, but also to take modest steps, proactive steps to show this wasn t a pretext or political investigation. iga. every chance he s had to d evothat, thathe, he hasn t done it. no opposed the redacted affidavit, was forced to do m that. he s now opposing the special master nt and is likely to
within the federal bureau of investigation from taking leaks and using them in political ways. and remember, we had il kevin kleinsmith who doctored documente has and had to plead guilty to that, but but barelyd was he outed and there are lotss of other examples. and unfortunately forr an agenca that s the premier law agency in the world, i think they ve been tainted. and you know what? director wray was brought in. as an agent of age to change things, the agent of changee isi and he hasn t done that.sition i and i don t know why he s in that position if he s not going to change things. kurt, we have 15 seconds.t, w secoyou tell us about how many people have come forward thathae you know of? shawn, there s 20 . , fbi employeesblower who were whistleblowers have to go to doj to seek relief, nohavt the federal courts. they are stuck in doj.ck a wow. this is going to be fascinating to watch. thank you both for being with us. u we ll take a break. more hanadi right after this.
