The new House Republican majority plans to create a special committee that could serve as a one-stop shop for investigating perceived wrongdoing by the federal government against conservatives, including former President Trump.

Alex Edelman / Getty Images fileWASHINGTON — The new House Republican majority plans to create a special committee that could serve as a one-stop shop for investigating perceived wrongdoing by the federal government against conservatives, including former president Donald Trump., structured as a subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee, is expected to be chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Jordan said he intends to probe “big tech” companies, including Twitter activities exposed by Elon Musk since his acquisition of the company, as well as the FBI and “the political nature of the Justice Department.” Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I., a Judiciary Committee member, nicknamed the panel “The MAGA Grievance Subcommittee.”

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., said he will serve on the new weaponization committee. Members of the committee will be formally named after the House passes the resolution.

Gestapo

Lots of money in those probes.

Good!!!!!

Sure, this impotent little wanker is going to do something other than his performative outrage for the FauxNews coalition. You certainly have selective sight and hearing, GymJordan

we’re all tired of the democrats and their one way street

The magnitude of crime that has occurred under this Biden Administration is overwhelming. I’m just hoping Republicans are strong enough to hold them to justice. It’s going to be massive and never seen it done in America before. May they stay strong & fearless.

Jordan is atypical fascist.

The republicans are Announcing to use more money on useless investigations than they want to support the Americans with…that is their priorities..

Ow? Just to elect your republican speaker takes you 15 times of chaotic voting, how could you?

Dear NBC. The House GOP live in a dream world.

American Punch-and-Judy show. American wayang. A.T.A.R., otherwise too slow...

Good. Dems weaponized the justice department to go after their political opponents.

Saw nothing at OSU, but wants us to regard him as the most trustworthy man in the country.

Per WaPo today this was a lie: A zealous band of Russian trolls flooded Twitter with hundreds of thousands of divisive posts in an attempt to influence the presidential election, according to a new analysis of a Twitter database by NBC News.

Good move

Republicanism is a disease.

Boooooo

But their first move was to 'defund' their police !! (the ethic comitee) A great move from the 'Law and Order' party. Disgusting!! 🤮

Good! Time for payback and retribution. I want to see people squirm. Including journalists.

Tick Tock lefties, Tick Tock

It's hilarious that they refused to recognize subpoenas, but now want to subpoena Democrats.

Bravo!!!

GOP Clowns

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Fair play

Here we go again! The Republicans on the Committee to investigate any and all mindless investigations mostly of whiny Right Wing Representatives on “Wild Goose Chases and wasting the people’s money!

Investigate all you want you will just make fools of yourself

Great!

Trumplicans all they can do is make excuses, blame others, whine, lie and criticize!

'perceived' wrong doing? Did you say that about Democratic committees? Not that MSM has any integrity left to be honest about anything.

Good time to investigate the investigators

What’s attention seeking without the attention after all?

So would they have to investigate themselves? For what they are proposing is, in fact, weaponizing the Federal Government. Tell me Mr Jim ‘I can’t hear or see the cry’s from the boys under my care being raped’ Jordan isn’t heading the committee? FFS!

The real witch hunt begins

NBC pitching fascist propaganda.

So republicans want a pass to break the law and operate without morality ethics or principle because the Speakerofthehouse is spineless hack without balls enough to control 20 morons out of step with the rest of the country. This is their last gasp! maddow

The Playing The Victim Committee. Spoiler alert: the GOP is never the victim.

Perfect. Way to waste the next 24 months.

This is going to stop inflation, fix the border, reduce crime, and confront white supremacy, right? Because, we've been told for months on end this country is going to hell. But, apparently investigating the DOJ is going to somehow solve all that. GOP: Grievances Over People.

It’s going to need to be a HUGE committee.

McCarthyism is back! “Have you no dignity,sir, at long last have you no dignity…?”

Gotta protect ‘Master’

'Conservatives' is spent coinage a Fascist by any other name

Man, I thought that was 'Dexter' for a second. Jim_Jordan

Sounds like a plan.

This country is going to be effed if those agencies don't share classified intel to congress anymore because they pulled this BS.

Headed up by the little person

This is going nowhere but ok !🫤
