"Fourteen FBI agents have come to our office as whistleblowers, and they are good people," Jordan told Gowdy on Sunday. "There are lots of good people in the FBI. It's the top that is the problem. Some of these good agents are coming to us, telling us what is baloney, what's going on—the political nature now of the Justice Department, God bless them for doing it."
