silence? jim jordan. it sounds to me i thought we had whistle-blower laws, i thought we like them we put hearsay whistle-blowers on a pedestal. fbi whistle-blowers are being told to shut up they re not allowed to talk to likes of you, that s how i interpret it. no, you re exactly right that is the law sean and it s supposed to be followed. i think it s interesting to point this out. a few weeks ago when i was on your show we talked about the 14 whistle-blowers come fbi agents come to our office the very next day. the very next day merrick garland sunset memoir saying here are the rules if you re in a speech to congress. it was a memo designed to chill the speech of brave whistle-blowers who want to come forward and tells the truth. we also know that some of those whistle-blowers have had their security clearance revoked. which is always the first step in terminating someone at the fbi and now we think that there is immense a bit retaliation against whistle-blower who has been suspend
