House Democrat tries to link random twitter account to FBI whistleblower, he says 'not my account'

Democrat California Rep. Linda Sanchez tried to link a random Twitter account with the same name as FBI whistleblower Marcus Allen to him, implying that he believed that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi staged January 6.

During Sanchez's questioning at the hearing of the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government on Thursday, she asked Allen if he had ever used Twitter. 

"I have utilized Twitter, yes ma'am," Allen answered. 

Sanchez proceeded to read out loud the name of the account which was Allen's name, followed by multiple numbers.

"That is absolutely not my account," Allen responded.

"Okay, that's not your account," she replied. "Well, on December 5, 2022, an account under the name Marcus Allen retweeted a tweet that said quote-"

"That's not my account, ma'am," Allen interrupted. 

"You haven't let me finish the question, sir," Sanchez stated. "You haven't let me finish the question and the time is mine. On December 5, 2022, an account under the name of Marcus Allen retweeted a tweet that said, 'Nancy Pelosi staged January 6. Retweet if you agree.' Do you agree with that statement, yes or no?"

Allen once again said that account was not his, and proceeded to say he did not agree with the statement. 

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan secured the in-person testimony of former FBI officials Garret O'Boyle, Steve Friend and Marcus Allen, who have all been suspended for vocalizing concerns about politically-motivated weaponization in the FBI and treatment of whistleblowers who come forward. 

The whistleblowers allege that the FBI has inflated statistics on "domestic violent extremism."
