Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Rep. James Comer (R-KY) appeared on Maria Bartiromo’s Fox show, Sunday Morning Futures, yesterday.
Jim Jordan, the House Judiciary Ranking member, said he would investigate the weaponized Justice Department. It’s the new militarized arm of the Democrat Party.

THE MILITARIZED DOJ
Rep. Jordan told Ms. Bartiromo that the person who will lead the Justice Department investigation, Jack Smith, is the man who, along with Lois Lerner, targeted and prosecuted conservatives. He did a lot more than that. He waged an unconstitutional prosecution and conviction of former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, targeted an Arizona Republican, and tried to smear the Citizens’ United case.
“Maria…Now think about this in the broad sense,” Jordan said. “In 2016, they spied on President Trump’s campaign. In 2018 (2017), it was the Mueller investigation…in 2020, they suppressed the Hunter Biden story just days before the most important election we have. And in 2022, 90 days before the midterm election, they raided President Trump’s home.
“And then this week, three days after President Trump announces he’s running for president, one day after Mr. Comer did his press conference, guess what? Merrick Garland says we’re going to put in as this special counsel – the very individual who was at the Justice Department and was looking for ways to prosecute the people Lois Lerner and Obama’s IRS targeted.
“If that’s not a political Justice Department, I don’t know what is. So, this is why we’re going to look into this issue, and we’re going to get to the bottom of everything they’ve been doing at the politicized DOJ.”
He added later, “I don’t know how it happened, but I know it has to change. Because America is the greatest country in history, but we’re not America.
“America’s not America if you have a Justice Department that treats people differently under the law. It’s not supposed to work that way.”
We have an Attorney General who won’t even answer a simple question. But the General will use the militarized department as a cudgel against parents who don’t like the hate America curricula. Follow this to the end. Garland doesn’t like to be questioned or answer questions directly. He’s too important.
The congressmen will also investigate the Biden Crime Family. Joe Biden was going to turn our US drilling rights in the US to China!
The Bidens flourished and became millionaires by simply offering access to “The Family.”@GOPoversight will pursue all evidence & specifically suspicious bank records in the 118th Congress. Rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse will be our mission. @MariaBartiromo @SundayFutures pic.twitter.com/SGlnX8yaub

Will Jordan actually subpoena witnesses and allow tough questioning? I’ll believe it when I see it. Grassley and Graham promised that a few times, and never did it. Johnson also promised once. The same leadership is in place. RINOs are liars and cheaters.
Jordan is a big McCarthy supporter, and McCarthy is campaigning for speaker. He is short of votes, and that will increase with his exposure in the FTX scandal. Why would anyone involved in these scandals go after the DOJ and risk backlash?
I do not recall Bill Barr ever answering any real questions either. Holder, Lynch, Sessions, Barr and Garland are a continuum of corrupt officials. Barr was equally arrogant. Mitch was hands off Barr, rarely called him into session, did all he could to have Barr avoid controversy. Barr is the one who was handed massive criminal evidence on the Bidens and he hid it all.
Defunding the DoJ And FBI should be one the first acts of the House in January. There are numerous other agencies which can do the job of the FBI and State DA’s can be designated to prosecute Federal Cases for the Federal Government with Federal Funding. We should limit the Role of the DoJ to that of only Defending the Federal Government. I see a serious problem with people throughout the US being prosecuted only in Washington DC and not their Home State; especially in regards to J6.
Part of that should include the J6 prosecutions, but, when asked, Jordan would even speak to it let alone include it.
