And he repeatedly lied repeatedly, there is no other word for it, lied to this committee. He initially told us that it did not happen that the FBI did not make any list of churches. That’s not true. We have it. A whistleblower brought the list to us. “

“He then said that only one field office had worked, it turns out that we knowing another whistleblowers, several field offices were working on it, worked on it. He said it was never posted on the internal system. It turned out that it was. We believe it that it is still in fact.?“
