The House voted 221-211 along party lines to pass a resolution establishing the panel as a subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee.The panel will have 13 members all appointed by McCarthy, five in consultation with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries , mirroring the makeup of the Jan. 6 select committee.
It’s set to be led by Rep. Jim Jordan , the Judiciary Committee chair, and will be charged with producing a report by the end of the 118th Congress. Rep. Thomas Massie told Axios he expects to be on the panel as well. The resolution authorizes the committee to investigate “to collect in- formation on or otherwise investigate citizens of the United States, including ongoing criminal investigations.”
Its scope also includes agencies’ information gathering tactics and any communications or coordination they’ve had with the private sector.House Majority Leader Steve Scalise touted the panel’s “sweeping investigatory powers” in a press release on Tuesday morning. In addition to Jordan’s subpoena power and the ability to review ongoing probes, that also includes access to the often-sensitive information shared with the House Intelligence Committee.
Maybe this will finally bring the 7-year Russiagate headline machine to an end.
Only because these guys have broke soo many laws for yrs and now their butts just might be in a sling. They have trump to thank for that. And your blind if you don't think every corporate executive out there didn't make sure they wouldn't get found out!
So the next two years is just going to be you uncritically parroting their lies, huh?
Congressional theater starts the season with another stupid republican snipe hunt.
House republicans 'weaponize' federal panel to probe 'weaponization' of federal agencies. Better.
What about weaponisation of congress?
From Ohio. I don’t understand GOP putting Jim_Jordan in charge of a committee. Elected from a district called “the duck” due to illegal gerrymandering. Witness to 2 horrific crimes&silent re students at OSU being sexually assaulted. A participant in 1/6
Hey, Michael Cohen wrote a book about that.
Well! The media shouldn't give any oxygen to this republican dung.
If someone besides Wray & his gang of infiltrators (if the FBI weren't shirking their Duty but gQp traitors made them the first victim! haha) perfect scenario to set up sting to 'catch a predator' of 'gym cover up Jordan' he'll think his fraud base questions aren't perjury to FBI
They just don’t like getting caught.
Poor, poor Republicans
Too bad POTUS and DOJPH didn't have the balls to expel traitors and seditonists. This is what your cowardice got us.
Blowing thru your Tax Dollars right and left.
The GOP will stop the weaponization of the federal government by weaponizing Congress.
🇺🇸Weaponization of DOJ against the people: If top DOJ officials declare you lost an election with zero evidence it was stolen, try to replace the AG with a puppet named Jeffrey Clark who’ll announce a rigged election on your behalf, with zero evidence/zero probable cause.🇺🇸
And then.....? Going in which direction?
jim jordan couldn’t spell “government” at gunpoint. putting him in charge of a committee is an obvious joke
Whenever the Republicans are the subject of investigations they invent baseless accusations against the investigators. This is just another waste of time that will backfire.
You already know it’s your game!
It's all projection
Thank you.
They always claim something that they want to do or are doing is being done by the Democrats. Sex trafficking, voter fraud, and now whatever the hell this means.
About time.
Good!
The government would seem like it's been 'weaponized' against you if you're a criminal. Duh...🙄😅
So they're going to investigate what took place from 2017 to 2020 under the disgraced twice impeached former president?
McCarthyism is back
About time. They should be investigated regularly
Isn’t this the weaponization of congress 🤔
Just wait until they learn about who required “loyalty oaths” lololol.
So…they’re supposed to investigate themselves?
What about Weaponization of wrestling coaches Gym?
ATTENTION ALL AMERICANS: SINO McCarthy has no real power other than to disrupt. No Bills leaving the House to the Senate will ever be passed. The House will not pass any legislation the next 2 years. They cannot eliminate the IRS or SS payments. They can't investigate DOJ cases..
Wasting more money, they are clowns.
🙄
