Democrats have a number of complaints about the incoming Republican majority in the House of Representatives, but chief among them is their promise to create a new “Church Committee” that will investigate the corruption and politicization of the FBI and other intelligence agencies.
Democrats have repeatedly sounded the alarm that Republicans are undermining faith in America’s institutions by bringing to light evidence indicating that the FBI has targeted conservatives and is acting in a partisan fashion.
On Monday, high-ranking Representative Jim Clyburn (D-Sc.), who once again serves as the House assistant Democratic leader, echoed Democrats’ concerns, saying that investigating ongoing investigations will make Americans lose faith in the FBI.
Clyburn said that the Department of Justice’s investigations in to conservative politicians and activists are part of the Biden administration’s job and that Republicans should not be interfering, even though part of the House’s job is to provide oversight of Presidential administrations.
Breitbart Reports–
“On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Last Word,” Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) reacted to plans by House Republicans to investigate various government agencies, including the Department of Justice by stating the Department of Justice and its investigations are “part of the administration, and we ought not be interfering with the Justice Department doing its work.”
Clyburn stated, “I don’t know what it takes for people not to understand that this is a democracy. This is a body of the Congress that we are trying to maintain credibility with, and we’re not going to do that by opening up all kinds of suspicions about the institutions in our society. I know a little bit about the institutions not being trusted. We need to build trust in these institutions, and you cannot do that by opening up investigations into the investigations that are, in fact, taking place. That’s exactly what they’re talking about doing.”
Maybe they should stop staking out school board meetings?
He’s dumb as a rock and lecturing everyone about it. Maybe someone tell him America isn’t a democracy, to start.
Jimmy C. knows his goat-smellin’ ass is toast. The boy went full racist in his obsession to put Trump and his white boys in jail. Time for Jimmy C. to do a little time in the can.
Theater. He has nothing to worry about. Rs won’t move the ball downfield one inch.
The corrupt people are outraged that you might want to take a look into whether or not the corrupt people are corrupt. How dare you?
J6 committee. Wasn’t that interfering with the DOJ investigation?
That was gone a long time ago due to their biased prosecution of acts, failure to investigate election fraud for the Presidential election and the Arizona governor's race, killing Lavoy Finicum, pretending Democrats never did anything wrong, etc., etc., ad nauseum.
More Kabuki theater.
Though, as usual, I would be delighted to be proven wrong.
Clyburn is the deep state.....I am suspicions of because “I think he protest to much” .....why wouldn’t he want to have honesty in Government.
Should have this occasionally, for reference, on threads like these...
Nah, no panic….all a congressional dog and pony show.
Prayers for the soul of that patriot, Levoy.
I think this committee, unlike many others might be useful as the things they may bring up are salacious enough the media might cover them.
If America's institutions have become corrupt, it is those guilty of the corruption and of defending the corrupters who are guilty of undermining faith in them.
TRUTH will expose corruption.
There is no reason to fear Truth--if you're honest.
Yeah, that ship sailed some time ago, jackwagon.
Clyburn put his whole family on the goobermint teat.
In third place as a “token” spot.
Now bypassed by Hakeem.
Tool
Love South Carolina, from Upstate over to the PeeDee, all the way down to the Low Country and the Islands. In my errant youth I had a fiery romance there with an alligator farmer named Annie.
But is there something in the water?
