In fact, the FBI whistleblowers named by Goldman, Garret O'Boyle and Stephen Friend, had their entire lives destroyed after speaking out against Jan 6 witch hunts and the political weaponization of the FBI. They did not take their concerns public, but to their direct supervisors, and testified that they were punished for broaching their concerns.
These men were simply financially supported by The Kash Foundation in the form of grants after they found themselves jobless and in dire straits.
Indeed, as Friend told Goldman, "I was an unpaid, indefinitely suspended man trying to feed his family. And [Kash] reached out to me and said he wanted to give me a donation."
Patel fired back against the outrageous insinuation in a statement provided to Human Events and later posted to social media: "The Kash Foundation is Mission First, all day every day. We provide support to brave Patriots who protect our nation while the radical left and government gangsters destroy the essence of our republic with their two tier system of justice. Having a charitable foundation is not a monopoly they own. We are committed to the truth and give financial assistance to those in need, especially the courageous Americans who shed sunlight on government corruption. We will never stop our Mission, join us."
This is not the first time the partisan machine has come for Patel. In March, ABC News tried to discredit him by saying that he believed the "deep state" targeted Trump with the Russia collusion hoax surrounding the 2016 presidential election. The just released Durham Report shows that yes, Trump's campaign was targeted by the FBI with absolutely no basis or probable cause, that Clinton's faked opposition research—over which she was fined on falsification of documents charges—was used as probable cause for a politically motivated investigation, and that the FBI used false information to obtain FISA warrants.
On Thursday night, the whistleblowers spoke to the ridiculousness of Goldman's insinuation on Jesse Watters Primetime, pointing out the absurdity of the notion that they would give up a lucrative FBI career for a one-time donation to provide for their families.
Keep in mind, this is the same Goldman who was just thoroughly humiliated by Townhall journalist Julio Rosas after he tried to run cover for Antifa during these same Weaponization hearings.
Goldman, predictably, had left the room by the time of Rosas' response.
"Whistleblowers" on the left, are propped up by the mainstream media, the Democrats, and the entire establishment. Conservative whistleblowers, however, speak up despite the inevitability of financial and social punishment.
Compare and contrast, for example, the media treatment of dopey Trump "whistleblower" Alexander Vindman who was given hagiographic front page coverage, got to guest star on Curb Your Enthusiasm, and has most recently been pitching the government of Ukraine to obtain lucrative defense contracts, with the treatment of Friend, who had his security clearance stripped, his pay suspended, and found himself struggling to feed his family — he's labeled a "conspiracy theorist" by Democrats and their corporate press lackeys for daring to challenge abuses of power.
Meanwhile, what did Vindman do? He "exposed" Trump for asking Ukraine's President Zelensky—the Democrats' latest darling—why Biden during his VP days threatened to withhold funding if a prosecutor who was allegedly looking into allegations of corruption against gas giant Burisma, on whose board Biden's son sat, wasn't fired. Biden threatened to withhold funding. Trump wanted to know why. Vindman was praised as a hero and Biden's likely misdeeds were forgotten because orange man bad.
"The FBI denied my request to seek outside employment, in an obvious attempt to deprive me of the ability to support my family. Finally, the FBI Inspection Division imposed an illegal gag order in an attempt to prevent me from communicating with my family and attorneys," Friend told congress on Thursday.
The other whistleblower smeared by Goldman told a similar story.
Garret O’Boyle testified that that the FBI had allowed him to accept new orders to a position across the country, sell his family’s home; he then reported to the new unit just two weeks after his youngest daughter was born, only to effectively ruin his life:
"Then, on my first day on the new assignment, they suspended me, rendering my family homeless and refused to release our household goods, including our clothes, for weeks," he said.
His crime? He filed a complaint saying that the FBI was exaggerating the "domestic terrorism" threat — an observation that basically all conservatives and anyone with grey matter would agree with.
"All I wanted to do was serve my country by stopping bad guys and protecting the innocent. To my chagrin, bad guys have begun running parts of the government making it difficult to continue to serve this Nation and protect the innocent. But I for one, will never stop trying. And I’ll never forget my oath" O'Boyle.
The FBI forced O'Boyle to beg for warm coats for his children after the family’s belongings were locked up for weeks.
Privileged crybaby congressman Dan Goldman's response to Patel's foundation providing aid to conservative whistleblowers and their families in their time of need was to insult these men and smear Patel.
As Charlie Kirk so eloquently put it, "Kash Patel is a patriot who ensured FBI whistleblowers, who had their lives destroyed by their own government, were able to feed their families and keep a roof over their kids' heads. They weren't "bought and paid for" witnesses, many have lost everything to speak out."
Thankfully, Kash and the whistleblowers have the truth on their side. Goldman should hang his head in shame.
