agency of unfair treatment and alleging retaliation. republicans say this is further proof of what it calls institutional rot and anti-conservative bias and adding to the argument just before the hearing, the fbi yanked security clearances of two of the agents. working as an fbi special agent was my dream job, my whistle-blowing was a political up oath, but the fbi closed ranks and attacked the messenger. my family and i have been surviving on early withdrawals from the retirement account while the fbi has ignored my request for approval to outside employment. i swore an oath to the constitution. do you believe that the fbi is hostile to you for that reason to keep agents from speaking up? yes, yes, no question. dana: chairman jim jordan morning the whistle-blowers they would face heavy attacks from democrats. we talked to two dozen whistle-blowers, people have come to us and we have interviewed several of those in today three of them. three of those brave whist
know, i m not a major spender, so i m very flattered that i have had the opportunity is that i have had and am trying to focus on continuing that going forward. neil: we lost that genius, that incredible real estate mind this morning. at 81. hello, everyone, i am dana perino along with judge jeanine pirro, jesse watters, and tom shillue, it is 5:00 in new york city, and this is the five. the no good very bad week for the fbi just got worse. less than 72 hours after the durham report revealed and discovered and proved that the borough was biased against former president trump. a group of fbi whistle-blowers giving explosive testimony on capitol hill. the witnesses accusing the
interviewed several of those in today three of them. three of those brave whistle-blowers and a lawyer who represents them will tell us their story. they will tell us what happened. what they saw and then what happened to them because they were courageous enough to reported to congress. i just want to tell you guys, get ready, because they are going to come after you. you know they are. dana: jordan was on to something, they bash republicans were even holding the hearing and trying to undermine the credibility of whistle-blowers. on police week of watching house republicans jump to late the foundation to define law enforcement. my colleagues on the far right are on a mission to attack, discredit, and ultimately dismantle the fbi. this is the phone the police on steroids. you are engaging in a self promotion of your new book about to be released. and what great timing to be on
