FBI Confidential Human Sources on January 6th

• 🎯 Jim Jordan questioned former FBI agent Mr. Whitson regarding the use of confidential human sources (CHS) at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
• 🔍 Whitson's testimony indicated that eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse includes overspending on CHS.
• ⚠️ A report revealed 26 CHS were present at the Capitol, with 17 entering restricted spaces and four entering the Capitol building itself.
• ❓ Two of the four CHS who entered the Capitol were specifically tasked by the FBI to be there, a fact that did not surprise Whitson.
• 💰 It is considered highly likely that these CHS were being paid by the FBI, especially if they were tasked with specific actions.

Hunter Biden Laptop Story and FBI Involvement

• 📰 The discussion shifted to text communications concerning the New York Post's story on the Hunter Biden laptop in October 2020.
• 🤝 An FBI agent, Elvis Chan, met with a tech company and confirmed the laptop was real.
• 🚫 Following this confirmation, internal FBI communications indicated that no one was authorized to comment, and Twitter was treating the story as disinformation.
• 🤔 Whitson found it problematic that the FBI confirmed the laptop's authenticity to tech companies, then seemingly allowed the narrative of disinformation to spread.
• 📢 This situation is presented as evidence of the FBI being political, contributing to the narrative that influenced public perception and potentially the actions of other officials, like the 51 former intelligence officials who wrote a letter.
• ⚖️ Jordan emphasized that such actions by individuals can damage the entire bureau's reputation and erode public trust, advocating for the removal of those who foster political environments.
