“A little over a week ago, the same Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of Government that organized the Twitter Files hearings privately heard testimony from Steve [Friend] and two other FBI whistleblowers. The Democratic Party response to Steve and his colleagues was eerily similar to tactics pulled out against myself and Mike Shellenberger: Mike and I were not real journalists, they said, but ‘so-called journalists.’ Steve and his fellow agents ‘are not, in fact, whistleblowers,’ according to the minority report, and ‘do not meet the definition of a whistle-blower,’ according to the New York Times.” (03/13/23)
