Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan's, R-Ohio, hearing on the "weaponization" of federal agencies against conservatives, namely former President Donald Trump and his supporters, on Thursday descended into disarray after a Democrat questioned the credibility of one of his witnesses.
The "weaponization" subcommittee hearing began with testimony from self-proclaimed "whistleblowers" from the FBI, who claim that the bureau engaged in corrupt, political misconduct.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., however, called out the credibility of FBI agent Stephen Friend, who had his security clearance revoked by the bureau.
"You... claim that your top secret security clearance was improperly revoked. Yet an independent investigation concluded that you demonstrated a number of security concerns, which included that you refused to execute a court-ordered arrest warrant, and when you downloaded documents from intelligence systems to an unauthorized removable flash drive," Wasserman Schultz said.

"The cherry on top could be your unauthorized recording of executive management, which, as I'm sure you know, violates Florida law, along with your unsanctioned interviews with Sputnik News, established by the Russian government in 2014 and fully owned by the Kremlin and Putin's cronies," she continued.
"I think it's clear who is weaponizing government," she added.
