The 118th House of Representatives will see the formation of a new select committee, headed by Jim Jordan, to dig into the abuse of power and the Weaponization of Government. This investigative panel will demand emails and correspondence between the Biden administration and big tech companies, and follows the massive revelations that came to light through the recent release of the Twitter Files.
Newly minted House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who was elected to Speaker after a hard-fought, contentious battle on the House floor last week as power and priority struggles played out in his own party, was asked to form the committee as part of the negotiations that brought him to power, Axios reports. Jordan was one of the 15 members of Congress who nominated McCarthy for Speaker last week, just as many in his party nominated and voted for him.
"The probe into communications between tech giants and President Biden's aides will look for government pressure that could have resulted in censorship or harassment of conservatives — or squelching of debate on polarizing policies, including the CDC on COVID," Axios reports.
If government personnel and agencies do not comply, subpoenas are likely to be issued, per a GOP source. The GOP is committed to digging into "the politicization of the FBI," which not only includes the work done to discredit accurate reporting from the New York Post in the lead-up to the 2020 presidential election, but the allegations of Russian election interference in the lead-up to the 2016 election.
The use of Biden's Department of Justice to go after parents who spoke out angrily at school board meetings will be investigated as well. Ohio's Jordan was instrumental in the discovery that the letter requesting a DOJ investigation into these parents, issued by the National School Boards Association, was actually requested to be written by Merrick Garland's DOJ in the first place. The head of the NSBA was then given a plum post in the administration.
Biden's Covid czar Dr. Anthony Fauci will also be a focus of this new GOP investigation. The Twitter Files revealed that social media companies were pressured to toe the Democratic Party line on Covid and Covid treatments.
The concerns over parents speaking out began when a man attended a school board meeting in Loudon County, Virginia, to speak against the school board and school administrators that had covered up the rape of his daughter by another student in the school bathroom. That man was arrested, and his outburst used by the Biden administration to target parents who opposed mandatory masking in schools, pornographic and explicit content, as well as critical race and gender theory.
The Twitter Files showed unequivocally that the Biden administration, as well as those within the campaign leading up to the 2020 election and pro-Biden personnel in federal government, worked to suppress information that would have been detrimental to Biden. This suppression was undertaken by telling Twitter, and other tech companies, that so-called misinformation would be emerging that targeted Biden's youngest and only living son Hunter Biden.
Tech companies believed the federal employees in the FBI and law enforcement, and when the New York Post reported on allegations of influence peddling on the Biden name and shady business dealings benefiting the Biden family, Twitter censored it outright, as did Facebook.
While the GOP controls the House but not the Senate or the White House, they will be able to launch investigations to get to the bottom of just how much the Biden administration manipulated and lied to the American public, but will be unlikely to be able to make or pass laws, since they would not have the votes in the Senate.
He talked a good talk and got a show on Fox.
I believe he does!
All the world’s a stage..............
I was a Gowdy Believer for a long time. It dawned on me towards the end that it was all just theater. That absolutely nothing was going to happen, again... and again... and again...
Charlie always falls for Lucy’s sincerity. No matter how many times that football gets yanked away.
Terminate FBI and disburse agents to the enforcement sections of each agency. Nothing Congress does will help.
And so is the ACC and Big 12...................oh, wait.............
Can we please put Lois Lerner and her henchman (hench persons) who weaponized the IRS against the tea party and then when investigations started, whoopsies, all their laptops’ hard drives became corrupted. Oh, and one of these hench persons is now head of the 87000 new IRS agent enforcement gang.
FIRST WITLESS: ADAM SCHIFF-FOR-BRAINS or NANZI PELOSI
Either one.
You start at the bottom and work your way up.
I’d start with Ashli’s murderer...............
I still remember Trey Gowdy and those weak investigations of Clinton. He was a hero of the right also... even got a gig on FOX over that nonsense after stabbing Trump in the back over Russia-gate.
GMTA
Jordon is the perfect choice.
Hope it does some good as a way of making more voters aware of abuses but Jordan had better adopt Cheney-style if he expects to have any real impact. Then when those efforts are thwarted by the deep state he can add them to the list to be investigated.
Jordan is the perfect choice HOWEVER who the hell 8s going to do ANYTHING about it!! WHO, the DOJ, the FBI, the CIA???? NOTHING will change BECAUSE no one will see ANY CONSEQUENCES same old, same old!!!!
Sending it to committee will be a two year process with zero outcome!
“I’m not holding my breath, but this has huge potential.”
Maybe potential to harvest information for 2025, depending on who becomes POTUS. Otherwise, it’s just theater with Marxists running DOJ, EfBeEye, etc. So, like you, I’m not holding my breath.
the independent cousel is going to indict trump. no need for a conviction. is the seriousness of the charge that counts
It would be helpful if the committee investigated the fbi role j6.
...the Biden administration, as well as those within the campaign leading up to the 2020 election and pro-Biden personnel in federal government, worked to suppress information that would have been detrimental to Biden. This suppression was undertaken by telling Twitter, and other tech companies, that so-called misinformation would be emerging that targeted Biden's youngest and only living son Hunter Biden.
If they want to focus this on the government and not make it look like a partisan, tribal exercise they have to make it clear that this happened under the Trump and Biden administrations.
Gowdy 100% did his job. He single handedly brought to light the server Hillary was hiding that assisted in the election of Trump. He got out in front of the press everyday to bring to light the crimes that were committed and place pressure on a corrupt press and an apethetic, lazy public. He uncovered crimes through his investigations but dealt with a horrible and complicit DOJ. He is not the DA, jury, judge. He doesn’t hold a grand jury, prosecute, render verdict and sentence.
He did his job. You’re barking completely up the wrong tree and out of frustration you go for the easy target; the only one that did his job.
He did his job. Yes.
And? We KNOW the Clinton crime family is up to their ears in shady sh*t.
WHO WENT TO JAIL?
No one. It was all just a lot of thunder and no rain.
