he creation of a House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government portends an all-too-predictable and largely unproductive cycle of interbranch friction. (The name itself betrays that the panel has already concluded that the executive branch misused its resources.) It will start with overheated demands for information. The committee’s chair, Representative Jim Jordan, has said the wide-ranging probe would include the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago for documents that Donald Trump failed to return to federal authorities, the Department of Homeland Security probe of disinformation on social media, and the origins of investigations by the FBI and other federal agencies into contacts between the Russian Federation and the Trump campaign in 2016. The Biden administration will comply with some requests while resisting others. Republicans will denounce recalcitrance as a coverup. Fox News, for its part, will condemn any lack of transparency as Democratic hypocrisy. Democrats, in turn, will remind Americans that Jordan refused to speak to the January 6 Committee.

Misistry of Truth
and the origins of investigations by the FBI and other federal agencies into contacts between the Russian Federation and the Trump campaign in 2016
investigations by the FBI
Election tampering
Democrats, in turn, will remind Americans that Jordan refused to speak to the January 6 Committee.
Refused to appear in the clown show
DHS and FBI are off the rails hearings are fine but I doubt they will mean anything to those agencies.
They will continue to defecate and urinate on the Constitutional Rights of We The People.
Who is Peter M. Shane?
Guy who wrote this trashy propaganda.
The author doesn’t even want Jordan to talk about hearings which have not happened.
It’s more BS communist propaganda...
He’s a Lefty law professor. Whodathunkit
ping
The question was really, what’s his background? Is he pre-disposed to write/slant dreck like this?
“…that Jordan refused to speak to the January 6 Committee.”
OMG!!! This is hugh and series!
And now the left is in favor of weapons?
Fits with their Russia-Russia-Russia narrative. Actually, I believe it’s OK for Ukraine to have weapons as long as the money is really for their military, but I think some of it goes to Ukrainian/Biden/etc. money laundering. Plus congress does not want to fight the invasion of our own borders.
Investigations for me, but not for thee.
