      Watchdogs Call BS on Whistleblower Status for Jim Jordan's FBI Witnesses

      "Legitimate whistleblowers must be protected, and these witnesses are clearly not legitimate," said one critic.

      Government watchdogs on Friday accused Republicans on the U.S. House Judiciary Committee of illegitimate "theatrics" as Democrats released a 300-page report outlining major weaknesses in the GOP's investigation into supposed political bias at the FBI.

      Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) is leading a probe into anti-Republican bias at the law enforcement bureau and has claimed that his party has heard from "dozens and dozens of whistleblowers" about how the FBI has been "weaponized" against the right—but having heard the testimonies of three witnesses, the Democrats said, they can confidently say the people selected by the GOP "are not, in fact, 'whistleblowers.'"

      Dear friends and supporters,

      I have difficult news to impart. On February 17, without much warning, I was diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer on the basis of a CT scan and an MRI. (As is usual with pancreatic cancer--which has no early symptoms--it was found while looking for something else, relatively minor).
