On one hand I’m thankful incoming House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan is willing to explain who he intends to call before congress to answer questions. On the other hand, my appreciation is tempered knowing open discussion of the intended investigative approach assists Lawfare operatives in their preparation.
The republican led House Judiciary Committee will be opposed by the White House, the Senate including the Senate Judiciary and Senate Intel, DHS, FBI, ODNI, DOJ-NSD, Main Justice, the Lawfare group, corporate media, Big Tech social media oligarchs and the entirety of the national security state apparatus. Navigating through this minefield of opposition will take a brutally confrontational approach.
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan discusses the landscape as he currently sees it. {Direct Rumble Link} The last point about Mitch McConnell running blocker for the Democrats in relationship to the budget is a good example of the opposition the Republican House will face. – WATCH:
.
“On the other hand, my appreciation is tempered knowing open discussion of the intended investigative approach assists Lawfare operatives in their preparation.”
Just switch the approach and the game’s reversed!
As is said, have more than you show…speak less than you know.
I’m with Sundance on this one. “Loose lips sink ships” was good advice for a reason.
Don’t be surprised if the new Speaker McCarthy run Rules Committee in the House of Representatives “requires out of fairness” that witness lists be published in advance and then there is the “required advance summon requirement” that will be leaked.
Those loose lips will be constantly running, open spigots.
It is way the “purposely stupid party” always operates when in power.
I like Jim Jordon but even he knows he will be used … hopefully he is at least able to peel back more of the curtain.
Xi Jinping to Jim Jordan: “Rotsa ruck!”
Dear God, please watch over Jim Jordan as he works his way through some of this swamp. May he be successful in exposing at least some of the many wrongs and working toward correcting it. Amen
Nothing will happen unless Republicans are willing to use the power of the budget. Defund until morale improves!
and there’s no way they’ll do that. For if they did, someone in the media and the left might call them bad names on Twitter.
Yes, because the twatter gods are their lord and savior.
Nothing will happen until stupid voters are re-educated. As I wrote below, a few hundred thousand people are the reason we’re stuck with McConnell right now. A few hundred thousand people are adversely affecting conservatives in the entire country.
At this point, just slowing down the flow of dollars for BBB and the Ukrainian debacle will be important progress. This is going to be a long, slow slog, but it’s starting.
jim Ain’t doing crap! He never has and never will.
Rand Paul just stated the omnibus Bill always gets voted in, so reconcile that truth. 4 republicans voted against?
I have two questions:
Nope, Nope, and Yes
Correct, correct, and correct.
A+
The only thing that they can do is force the sunlight.
Merritless Gargoyle is not going to prosecute himself or anyone else connected to their egregious breach of the BoR or the selling of the offices to foreign gubmints. Who else can? Nobody.
The HoR can impeach but Creepy Groper Joe will be whisked out via 25A & we’ll get Kamaltoe & Michelle Obama instead… bringing Obumbler visibly back into the WH. At that point, Kamaltoe had better hire a food taster.
Harris is not eligible for the office she occupies – per SCOTUS precedent. It’s high time this was brought to the fore and she be removed.
Communists do not obey laws or courts.
Don’t impeach Biden. Impeach Garland!
Creepy Groper Joe’s crimes against the United States cannot be allowed to go unprosecuted.
Yep. Obama and Soros are running the White House anyway, getting rid of Biden would merely change the face of the puppett.
I think you know the answer to those questions.
Question #1 is easy – “Not in my purview”
Here comes an ongoing investigation that nobody can comment on.
Something useful as in some very sternly worded letters.
I would expect that a Republican leadership that weren’t castrati would stop all funding of the abuse of power against them and their constituents. Slash the budgets of the FBI and Justice Department until they conform to constitutional standards and morale is improved; our morale, not theirs. Make it hurt.
You nailed it.
That was three questions, but good ones.
Cozy’s reply has all three correct answers.
Yes, they have no problem lying to congress, as we know there are no repercussions for lying. Thou shalt not lie or thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
Nothing more committees more investigations. Nothingness.
Agree. The conservative, Republican, whatever label for them, constantly tell their game plan well before they initiate it imcludimg details and the left has plenty of time to man up, gather their strategy and are ready in waiting to counter anything brought against them.
Shut up repubs and just do. Let the left fly by the seat of their pants for a change. Maybe our side can get a couple wins that way.
Here it comes. Another two years of gum flapping and nothing else.
Guess who’s fixin to be suicided. From Jim’s mouth to Hillary’s shotgun
With all those whistleblowers they should know the answers before they ask the questions.
What is going on at Bloomberg?
Are their reporters simply “Mailing It In”?
Using a hockey analogy, the Twitter checking line is grinding Bloomberg’s 1st line into the boards. Bloomberg’s players are simply watching the game unfold around them. Bloomberg players are spectators. They have no room to play.
Why would I think this? Read this article:
https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/musk-s-volatility-is-alienating-twitter-s-top-content-creators-1.1861103
Okay, I sense a theme in this Twitter story about “feelings” being hurt. “Certain” people feel disrespected. Here is a case in point…
…Reporters are the “heartbeat” of the user base, according to Lara Cohen, former vice president of partners and marketing — a team that was culled in Musk’s recent layoffs…
…And yet, in practice, Musk is making life harder for his top creators. On Thursday, a half-dozen journalists from the New York Times, Washington Post and elsewhere found their accounts suspended as they chronicled the ban of an account that was tracking his private jet. Some had followings in the tens or hundreds of thousands…
Who is this author? Here is a link to Muck Rack’s “verified” account of the author, Sarah Frier. She happens to be the Editor in Charge at Bloomberg News.
https://muckrack.com/sarahfrier/articles
Take a look at her body of work. Clearly she has a fixation with Elon Musk. Elon is the “total” focus of her writing for almost 2 months. Since the later part of October, the only stories she writes are about Elon Musk. That is creepy.
I would think if Bloomberg News had talented Editors in Chief, they would spread their focus around “a-bit”.
Maybe Bloomberg sees an existential threat and has their best hands manning the keyboards in the forelorn hope of beating back the future of (jo)urnalists.
I wonder what Mike “Billion Dollar” Bloomberg and Marky Mark “Circus” Carney think of this gong show…
The irony here:
Musk knows he doesn’t need these outlets to make Twitter a success. But the outlets need Twitter to compete with their competitors. And with Twitter, Truth, and the internet at large, competitors are everywhere. They include sites like this, TGP, The Federalists, Lara Logan, Emerald, Solomon, and each of us. Yes, as individuals with the tools now available, we are journalists and competitors to the established media.
Musk should remind them- no, you need me more than I need you. Then post the screenshots of them crying about their liberal peers being banned. If the legacy media and journalists don’t care, why cry about being kicked off? Good, threaten to leave- go. But you see…those who talk usually don’t act. Make them act- they won’t leave- they need the clicks.
Bloomberg is a good example. Making it harder for his top creators? Really? Or maybe Musk knows you’re only top because of bots and government censorship. Maybe Musk knows that his top creators are TGP, CTH, Libs of Tik Tok, Diamond and Silk, Bongino, and others.
There’s a reason government pushed censorship, throttled, and artificially elevated. I think those at Bloomberg and other outlets have a very infalted sense of self-worth.
Jordan is great with showmanship, as expected and he will be queuing up the Tea Party 2.0 trials.
The same lame thing will result… Which will be nothing!
Why do we give this man credence when we already KNOW what he is?
I give him credence because he’s one of the few white hats.
Jordan could have shown true leadership by meeting the people on Jan 6th. Instead, he hid in the capitol basement like the rest of the UniParty cowards. He’s a professional do-nothing, useless gas-bag politician who struts on Fox as if that’s the measure of success. Robin Williams said it best about politicians like Jordan:
This man is a liar and con artist, but I suspect by the term “white hat” we’re not actually speaking of Jordan based on his actions, but a religion.
The Big Tech companies are major donors to Jordan, especially Google. This is all theater.
He is talking too much telegraphing their plans. The question is why? I think I know why but thought I’d ask.
Exactly! Why do they do that? It’s like when senior military speak on TV about how they’re going to deal with terrorists and giving names and locations. Do they think terrorists don’t watch television or listen to radios? Extremely stupid – keep your mouths shut (for a change.)!
To get rid of evidence?
Never thought of it that way! I was thinking of national security (such as it is). My ignorance is showing. IMO when the other side is as vicious as they are, announcing our plans gives them time to make their own plans.
Like when silly, absent-minded dementia case Dianne Feinstein OOPSIE! accidentally leaked Glenn Simpson’s full congressional testimony transcript.
Woops! Now all the muh russia co-conspirators know what their story needs to be!
At this point the desire is to STOP social media from conspiring with the DeepState and censoring conservative voices. Jordon knows good & well that the Joebama DOJ will not prosecute their allies, period.
People who expect arrests of Big Tech criminals need to get real and stop dreaming of the impossible.
oooooohhhh! ‘investigate’!!!! the mcGOP stretches but collapses.
this just means endless sunday talk show ‘dis’appearances. talk loud, say as little as possible to ensure the hopiums .
we’ll get ’em ‘next time’…
then ‘next time’ arrives and NOTHING HAPPENS but go along.. you know the story. it’s nauseating now.
LET THEM LOSE. dump them in the ditch with the car.
It may be the only way to get rid of the Turtle is not vote for him.
Sounds good, but with a corrupt DOJ can we expect any justice?
The revelations will be great and I can hardly wait for in depth investigations to take place.
The American Citizens deserve the truth to be revealed, but the treasonous criminals need to be punished.
The DC court system is broken, criminals walk free while innocent Citizens rot in jail/prison.
The DOJ is a justice free zone.
Subpoena Garland. Make his life hell.
Go after the son in law’s woke textbook business. That’s how you hurt that grubby little low rent shyster sleazeball attorney general. Make him worry about where his daughter is going to get her next dollar from.
I say we skip the investigation and go straight to the punishment. We know who they are and what they’ve done.
I will try some happy thoughts for a change.
Any evidence can be forwarded to DOJ for prosecution. And, the next republican president can prosecute.
DeSantis could modify state law to allow any citizen to file a lawsuit for 1A or 2A violations, just like some states allowed suits on abortion providers. Hey, guess what, Trump is a FL citizen.
Nothing to see here. Just more background noise to put us to sleep. Zzzzzz….
Same old song and dance
The D.C. shuffle
The government investigating the government is like SBF investigating SBF. It’s like one big protection racket.
Really hope that Congressman Jordan acts and not just talks; there have been comments on other sites that Congressman Jordan takes big tech money in his campaign donations and so has not really taken any action to hold big tech companies accountable for their part in the censoring of free speech. Fingers crossed he’s a doer and not just a talker.
Noticed on Maria Bartoromo’s show this morning while interviewing another Ohio congressman who will be heading the House’s intelligence oversight committee – she did an excellent job of nailing that congressman down to actually doing more than just holding hearings.
It was good to see her put him on record to take actual action and can imagine now she has him on tape making firm commitments to hold people in government to actual accountability he might actually do something.
It’s quite an act Jordan and the Republicans are putting on. They think we’re dum dums.
Jim Jordan’s INTENDED approach will be thwarted at every turn by agency siloed ‘National Security’ concerns that the Fourth Branch of government (IC) has expected, and is already preparing for, through the Lawfare swamp at their disposal.
Everything will be folded into the DOJ-NSD, and thus immune from oversight of any sort from any of the three branches of government.
Bless his pointy little head.
Didn’t he read the patriot act that congress voted to enhance?
Wait till he learns that the committees investigating authority has been statutorily redirected to the Dept of Homeland security because of the risks involved of allowing duly elected officials to meddle in sensitive national security matters.
Now the committee can only perform pre-approved oversight of some of the corrupt government agencies and a select few of it’s career employees.
You say you want documents, interviews or explanations from the intel agencies?
Nope, not allowed.
He already knows that, it’s his job to sell it otherwise and he is damn good at doing it…
Look at half the comments here and the article to begin with. Jordan’s one of the RNC’s finest BS machines.
Funny how some folks react to the pressure.
After being publicly targeted by the deep state for his lack of action concerning the sex scandal at ohio state 30 yrs ago.
His response is more phony outrage and theatrics while distracting us from his lack of action concerning the STOLEN ELECTION in 2020.
Everything that PDJT accomplished during his first term was opposed, resisted and undermined by Mitch McConnell.
Everything Biden admin has done; open border, Ukraine war, Transgender foolishness,…everything Biden admin has done, Mitch McConnell supports.
So, of COARSE he is going to do everything he can to oppose, resist and undermine the House Republican caucus, which is over 50 percent MAGA.
And, so is Kevin McCarthy, and any promises he makes, aren’t worth the paper they’re not written on.
The “War within the Republican party” is not, initially a war between PDJT and RDS, its broader than that; its within Congress, its within the party, and its ongoing battles within the State parties, in all 50 States.
It is,….the Big Ugly, its here, its BIG and its UGLY.
Absolutely neccesary, and WAY overdue.
And they are god-smacked as to why WE haven’t backed down yet. They are stunned that it keeps growing despite all of this now out in the open collusion and censorship.
They know we are numerous. They know because they have been blocking us, trying to silence us. They crated a whole platoon of people dedicated to censorship and narrative making.
It is the big ugly.
All under complete surveillance.
Including the responses to the contrived events.
While The Plan* continues its slow inexorable progress.
(* Slowly forcing the US bloc down with energy and economic asphyxiation, sovereign debt and monetary devaluation, and bio-decimation. )
In the end state, what nation remains dominant, on the strength of its industrial engine manned by de facto slaves, facilitated by globalists?
Very brave of Mr. Jordan. The Jan. 6th lunatics have come after him once already.
I came after yer mom last night.
Flagged. Totally inappropriate.
Blah, Blah, Blah, Republican prosecuting anything is a fantasy!
I fear he may become another “Rooster” like Trey Gowdy…….all yak and no shack.
Any government lawyer who participated in this censorship should be disbarred.
And where the hell is the ACLU? The only statement I’ve read by them was soon after Musk bought Twitter, they clutched their pearls fearing “so much power in the hands of one man”. What say you now, ACLU?
Didn’t the Republicans investigating Russiagate have their subpoena requests denied by their own Rino leadership?
“I don’t recall”, “I cannot comment on an active investigation”, “that’s classified”, “I don’t remember”
The built-in methods to cover their law-breaking.
I would prefer Myorkas and Garlands heads on a platter right away.
If House Repubs think a redux of Trey Gowdy with his Benghazi theatrics is just fine, forget it.
Congressional investigations are where scandals go to die.
more “investigations” that go nowhere and waste our money. Great.
investigate, indict, convict, incarcerate, I wish ?????
Oh golly gee, ANOTHER investigation that does what???
A stern letter to those who should be executed for treason to this country? Boy, that will show them who’s boss.
You and others complain about other investigations. What investigations are you talking about? The Dems have been in control of the House since Jan 2017.
How is it, the ENTIRE nation knows exactly what’s been going on, but CONgress needs billions of taxpayer money and months to investigate what we already know, so that nothing happens to the perps.
Does this sound logical to ANYONE? At what point is enough?
Obviously Merrick Garland isn’t going to go after any of the crooks. It’s necessary for the GOP House to investigate.
https://emeralddb3.substack.com/p/the-gops-crack-up-is-finally-here?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=263063&post_id=91288340&isFreemail=true&utm_medium=email
A well-known senator appeared on TV recently to discuss the omnibus bill to fund the federal government, and delivered the following remarks: “Republicans are emasculated. They have no power, and they are unwilling to gain that power back. The Republicans do not have the intestinal fortitude. They always collapse, and they fear shutting government down — so no policy objectives ever get added.”
Now the question is: which liberal Senator pointed out that the GOP has completely collapsed as a party since the 2020 election?
The answer: Rand Paul.
A GOP senator was willing to state publicly — on Fox News no less! — that his own party has become a joke.
That was Thursday.
Two days earlier, Kevin McCarthy had taken the extraordinary step of appearing on a prime-time Fox News show to openly criticize Mitch McConnell and GOP Senate leadership for trying to pass the omnibus bill with Democrats.
Fox News host Laura Ingraham even took to Twitter to open fire on McConnell’s chief budget negotiator Richard Shelby.
Rep. Chip Roy took to the House floor to denounce Mitch McConnell and Richard Shelby by name — even pointing out that the retiring Shelby was getting $656 million in earmarks for himself in the omnibus bill.
That’s an obscene retirement gift. Richard Shelby said a tearful goodbye to the Senate, and so the Senate wiped his tears with America’s checkbook.
The civil war between the GOP House and GOP Senate over the omnibus bill follows — by a few days! — the GOP’s not-so-secret attempt to negotiate a mass amnesty bill, which followed the capitulation of the GOP on the gay marriage bill, which followed the capitulation of the GOP on endless aid for Ukraine, which followed the capitulation of the GOP on restricting gun rights a few months ago.
In truth, the term “capitulation” is too kind a word for what the GOP actually did in most of these cases. That word assumes that some sort of fight took place when, in fact, “enthusiastic embrace” might be the more accurate phrase. The GOP has simply abandoned every one of its core principles in the last two years — the entire party platform! — and done so in such a flagrant fashion that even a transparent charlatan like Kevin McCarthy is concerned.
………
As Rand Paul said: the GOP is emasculated. They always collapse.
The only place that Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy and Ronna McDaniel have led the Republican Party is to a complete surrender to the Democrat Party. Naturally, they all want to be re-elected to leadership anyway — and they probably will get their wish.
That’s the GOP for you.
Also, Emerald pointed out that the GOP House Judiciary committee won’t talk with the FBI whistleblowers now that the election is over.
I’m done with all of them. If someone crashed a 747 into the capitol during the SoTU ala Tom Clancy I’d consider it a mercy. We might lose a few good people, but by all counts it’d be an overwhelming net gain.
One way or another, they’ll just continue digging themselves in deeper.. In the end, “The truth has no agenda!”
Besides, unless you’re in Maxwell Smart’s “Cone of Silence,” they’ll know anyway!
It sure appears to me that democratic team is a stacked team with the refs on their side in every game they play.
And I have another question: When James Baker unexpectedly disappeared from the DC scene, how come it wasn’t more widely known he’d been reborn at Twitter..?
Jordan had google execs sweating last go around and nothing came of it. Too much Trey Gowdy for me. I’m not expecting anything good to come from more investigations.
I can guarantee this: These investigations will go nowhere!
What is the purpose of your comment? To let everyone know that you’ve given up?
Another GOP “investigation” that will go nowhere. If the GOP were truly on our side (I know, I know) they would defund the parts of the regime that are weaponized against us. But they won’t. They’ll give us 2 years of time wasting kabuki theater “investigations” that will go nowhere, and the fraud “conservative pundits” will cover it breathlessly to give it all credibility , and the dim-witted rubes will fall for it yet again amd wonder why nothing ever gets better even when our side has some power. Rinse, repeat. So tiresome.
What prior investigations have the GOP initiated?
Nothing will happen.
Congress is totally useless, a controlled opposition kabuki joint. There may be a few sincere members, like Jordan I suspect, but so what, yada, yada, yada!
Time for secessions.
Map it out then. How will a secession be accomplished?
Why telegraph your intentions?
All hat, no cattle. Please tell me which of the many investigations have resulted in anything positive for we the people.
What “many investigations”? The Dems have had control of the House since Jan 2017.
During the first two years of the Trump Administration, when the GOP had full control of both houses of Congress, did the Clinton cabal get busted for violations of handling classified materials (all those tens of thousands of classified docs/emails on her home computer)? Did Rooster’s Benghazi hearings put people in jail? Did any of the election tampering, Russia-gate, IRS, FBI, and assorted other Democrat-led scandals lead to anything? NO, to all of them. The GOP is the biggest do-nothing party there is. Oh, it’s plenty busy alright, but activity does not equal accomplishment.
A mere 342,660 Kentucky voters foisted McConnell on all of us by making him the GOP primary winner in 2020 despite having several other candidates to choose from. These stupid voters are the reason why MAGA progress is hampered.
It’s not good enough to simply focus on primarying your own RINOs. We MUST put pressure on stupid voters in other states who keep re-electing the same tired old squatters who ruin things for the entire country. Sadly McConnell isn’t up for re-election until 2026. Hopefully Trump will be the President then and Trump can tell voters to “get him out”.
Is some organization paying people to come into these comment sections and crap all over them with useless “nothing’s gonna get better” steaming piles?
I wish I were a moderator here I’d get rid of all of them.
Well, you’re not. And when you try to control the narrative — which includes being dismissive of others’ comments — might as well just paint DHS on your jacket.
I’m being dismissive of the people who cry that we can’t do anything. They are stating that they’ve given up and imply if not outright suggest that the rest of us give up too.
So save your DHS garbage for someone else. It’s not about controlling the narrative. There is no narrative in the comments sections. Read my comment again if you didn’t understand it the first time.
A House that is reallyreallyreally intent on getting what they want has all the power they need. Any agency that resists a subpoena doesn’t get a Contempt of Congress charge leveled at them. They get a ZERO BUDGET in the next cycle. The House would have to do that only ONCE, and every following subpoena — to anybody — would be answered in 48 hours or less.
