It appears that Jim Jordan found one employee, Marcus Allen, who may have been mistreated by the FBI (he refused to get a required vaccine for “religious” reasons), and has convened this hearing to proclaim that the entire FBI discriminates against conservatives and Christians. Marcus Allen is the whistleblower. Mr. Horowitz, who leads FBI, reported that he had seen no evidence that the FBI targets any one group, and that both Republicans and Democrats have complained of bias against them. Every Democrat who spoke brought up the real threats to the country, Project 2025 and Trump, and what would happen to our institutions should Trump be in power again. No Republican mentioned it. Jim Jordan just whined and Matt Gaetz lied (yes, he actually spoke in this hearing, barf).
