~ Repost by Request (w/updates) ~
As previously noted, the 118th Congress is expected to authorize a “Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.” The subcommittee will fall under the jurisdiction of the House Judiciary Committee led by Chairman Jim Jordan. Additionally, Thomas Massie (R-KY) is being reported as a representative under consideration for the chairmanship the House subcommittee.
I have been asked to outline a roadmap for success in this noble endeavor. So, I will…. and bite my tongue.
Let me say up front that many readers will not like this approach, and most professionally Republican along with media in/around Washington DC will absolutely hate the ideas as they are presented.
Assuming Jim Jordan and Thomas Massie have some grasp of the scale and scope of the opposition they are about to face; and assuming they have a fully prepared staff to support them – willing to take on the most consequential investigation in our lifetimes; then we begin by first defining who will oppose any effort to investigate the “weaponization of government“. Which is to say everyone!
The entire apparatus of the DC political system will do everything in their power, individually and with collective assistance, to ensure this committee fails. The stakes are basically all the marbles. DC politics is an institutional system of compartmentalized silos. A collection of weaponized institutions that view their common enemy as the American people not within them.
Specifically, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI), and every Republican member therein, including SSCI Vice-Chairman Marco Rubio, will make it their priority mission to block any investigation that touches on how the intelligence apparatus of the United States government is weaponized against the people. The SSCI facilitated the creation of the National Security State, and any effort to investigate the outcome will make the House investigators mortal enemies to the Senate.
Additionally, every executive branch intelligence institution including the DOJ-NSD, FBI, DHS, ODNI, CIA, DIA, NSC and every sub-agency within their authorities will do anything and everything to block a subcommittee looking into their domestic activity.
Every national security justification that exists, and some that have yet to be created by the DOJ National Security Division solely for the expressed interest of blocking this subcommittee, will be deployed.
Every member of the subcommittee and their staff will be under constant surveillance. Phones will be tapped and tracked, electronic devices monitored, cars and offices bugged, physical surveillance deployed, and top tier officials at every subsidiary agency of the U.S. government will assign investigative groups and contract agents to monitor the activity of the subcommittee and provide weekly updates on their findings.
The White House together with the National Security Council will also backchannel to and from these agencies doing the surveillance.
The intelligence apparatus media will be deployed, and daily leaks from the various agencies to their contact lists in the New York Times, Politico, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC will be in constant two-way communication for narrative assembly and counterpropaganda efforts.
This is the context of opposition to begin thinking about before anything moves forward.
Additionally, the national security state will demand the House investigation take place on their terms. They will demand secrecy, national security classification and require House subcommittee members to adhere to the Intelligence Community terms for review and discussion of anything.
Each agency will not voluntarily assist or participate in the investigation of any of their conduct. Every official within every agency will do the same; and they will require legal representation that will be provided to them by Lawfare political operatives skilled in the use of “National Security” and “classified information” as a justification for non-compliance and non-assistance. A protracted legal battle should be predicted.
Lastly, anticipate Special Counsel Jack Smith using his position to block the House subcommittee from receiving evidence. The House should anticipate that congressional representatives are already under investigation as a result of the authorities granted to Jack Smith by Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco {Go Deep}. The White House and all of the executive branch agencies will use the existing Special Counsel to block House investigation. Heck, that looks to be the primary purpose of the appointment.
As a result, expect the House subcommittee members to be under constant threat from the DOJ, via the Special Counsel, specifically from DAG Lisa Monaco, with statements that House subcommittee investigative efforts are “obstructing” a special counsel investigation. The aforementioned agencies and the Senate intel committee will work with the DOJ to use the Jack Smith special counsel as a shield to block participation with the House subcommittee.
With all of that in mind, what is the successful path forward?
♦ First, everything has to be done in sunlight and maximum transparency, even the planning and organization of the committee construct, purpose and goals. The committee can have no shadow operations, unknown guiding hands or secrets that can be discovered and then weaponized against the intent.
I know DC has little concept of working like this, but you can train yourself to do it. You have nothing to hide; however, those who are being investigated have everything to hide. Do not provide them ammunition by retaining secrets that can be weaponized against you.
As Andrew Breitbart always said, be open with your secrets. Your second cousin’s sister, Alice, will be a source for the New York Times to write about the Thanksgiving dinner three years ago when she heard the “N” word or a tasteless joke about something outrageous. Every member of the committee and staff need to prepare for a black file dossier completed by the FBI about them and distributed to the government allies in mainstream media.
Next, the goal needs to be crystal clear to anyone and everyone who would contemplate assisting. Then, before moving forward, the subcommittee needs a professional communication strategy in place before the rules, terms and member outlines are structured or made public.
A thoughtful communication strategy so that information can come from the committee to the public without the filtration of a corrupt system that will bend and skew the findings as a weapon against the committee itself.
Hire a communication staff and set up a website for the sharing of information directly from the committee to the public. The daily activity of the committee should be shared publicly in granular detail. The witness names as scheduled, documents requested, everything that involves the committee activity should be known to the general public. This system should be updated at least DAILY, or as information is compiled.
This communication network should also contain a separate staff assigned to solicit, accept and distribute information provided by the public to the subcommittee. Yes, you read that correctly, the subcommittee website should be able to accept information provided by the public as it relates to the ongoing committee work.
Crowdsource We The People as research leverage against the much more effective Lawfare operations you will face in opposition.
♦ Next, GO PUBLIC with everything. Do not use the terms and conditions of the secretive administrative state. Tell the public what you are finding as you are finding it. You can share information without violating “sources and methods.” Schedule a media appearance at the 8pm hour twice weekly with a high visibility broadcast media network to provide updates and answer questions.
These scheduled appearances should be in addition to random media press releases and press comments as pertinent information to the subcommittee arrives. What this means is that you do not wait to produce a 2,000-page final report before releasing the information. The final report should be an update and summary of all previous findings that have been released to the public along the way.
♦ At the outset, put no rules on media contacts with any subcommittee staff or member. Counter the darkness that fuels the intelligence community agenda with maximum sunlight and transparency. Use truth as a weapon against disinformation. That means no nondisclosure agreements at any part of the process.
Yes, this is radical change in approach, but this is also a radical enemy you are facing. Playing the secrecy game works in their favor, not yours. Transparency is your tool, not theirs – use it.
Every member of the committee can say anything they want about any of the material or witness testimony they hear during the course of the investigation. Public hearing or closed-door sessions, it matters not. The same rule applies. Committee members are completely free to discuss any findings as the information is reviewed.
The goal should NOT BE accountability on those who may have perpetrated or supported weaponized activity against American Citizens. The goal SHOULD BE for maximum public information, transparency and sunlight about the weaponization as it is discovered. This approach makes We The People the accountability portion of the process. As a result, the next section is again rather groundbreaking….
♦ Every witness to the committee should be granted full legal immunity provided by the House and House Speaker for anything said during the testimony or admitted as being done as part of the evidence fact-finding. Again, the goal is transparency and openness, not prosecution and accountability. Use sunlight as a weapon to draw out the truth, then let the American people be the judges of what that truth means when contrasted against the constitution of our nation.
Let me repeat this… There should be ZERO legal liability for any conduct that happened as a part of any witness effort to weaponize the United States government against the American people. The immunity should cover everything *except* perjury from the witness to the committee itself. If the witness lies the immunity evaporates.
Why this approach? Because (a) it circumvents any issues that might impede testimony, removes hurdles; (b) immunity compels confession, honest sunlight and the urgency of the situation; (c) immunity makes the truth more likely; and finally, (d) you are not going to get legal convictions anyway. The truth has no agenda.
Another reason for the immunity is because the operation of the subcommittee should be heavily focused on witness testimony, not documents. The documents can come as part of the follow-up to the witness testimony, but it is the witness testimony needed; the publication of the transcripts then provides the public sunlight. This is key.
90% of the committee work should be focused on witnesses and questions therein. Only 10% of the committee work should be seeking documents. Avoiding the documents shortens the time needed for investigative disclosures and avoids protracted legal battles therein. If the people on the committee, those who are asking the questions, do not already know the details behind the questions and the locations of the supportive documents, then you have the wrong people on the committee.
Every response to a questioned witness should come with the following question: “how do you know this?” That is how you will discover the nature of the documents, communications, emails etc that support the fact-finding mission. “How do you know this” also leads to more witnesses. Work the issue from the bottom up. How do you know this; who told you this; why did you do this; what authority guided you; who authorized this approach? etc. etc. etc.
Use fully immunized witnesses to tell the story, then go look for the documents to corroborate the witness statements using the ‘under oath’ transcript as part of the impenetrable subpoena itself; but don’t wait, keep questioning witnesses.
Let’s rip the Band-Aid off and start the process to fix this crap, restore the First and Fourth Amendments and heal the injury.
Remember, from the Church Commission we got the secret FISA court and more tools for violations of our Fourth Amendment rights. From the 911 Commission we got The Patriot Act, DHS, TSA, DNI and many more violations of our rights and Fourth Amendment protections. We do not need any legislation as an outcome of the House “Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.”
We do not need your legislative help. All prior legislative help only ended up making things worse. What we need is a full, uncensored, brutally honest expose’ of how bad things have become and how that system can be dismantled and destroyed. The existing constitution is the protection, just remove the stuff that is violating it.
I know the approach is rather different from the norm. However, if this roadmap seems reasonable, I am certain you will find a great deal of support from within the system that is currently operating and from people outside the system who will volunteer time and effort to assist.
Summarized: (1) Know the scale of opposition. (2) Formulate a communication strategy around it & build a website. (3) Communicate findings by telling the story to the American people as it is discovered. (4) Grant immunity to all witnesses. (5) Don’t wait until the end to generate another useless report that few will read. (6) Make sunlight the motive of the committee. (7) Consider success when the American people can see the problem. (8) Dissolve any weaponized systems. (9) Don’t create new ones.
If you tell us the truth, We The People will fix it ourselves.

Brilliant advice. Godspeed
Truth in the city of lies, is like oil and water they do not mix. However with these small steps is like a sunrise before you know it it’s high noon and I believe this is where this is headed, the inevitable face off with these demons. The truth is seeping out everyday and will eventually collapse this house of cards, this is a part of the slow exposure.
Like most swamp investigations look for lots of posing for the camera, but in this environment, not having the consent of the governed, there is hope they may actually do something.
We’ll see.
Would threat to safety by the various agencies not halt possible witnesses from coming forward?
I’m sure all it needs is a story of someone accidentally falling off a hotel window and all witnesses will withdraw.
There needs something to compel witnesses. Give them a choice, both bad. But the better choice is to come forward.
Of course a committee can “compel witnesses.” And then, grant them legal immunity for anything but perjury. If they are (as they probably are) government employees, also stipulate that they cannot face internal reprisals nor dismissal for their testimony – and that they must immediately report any such occurrence to the Committee and name names.
I doubt immunity will work as an incentive , unless the person is within arms length of retiring and even then they will be hesitant.
Even with immunity , anyone who comes forward and truthfully testifies exposing the corruption knows their career in that respective agency is over.
Yes, I know a lot of government employees and the converasations are always focused on benefits and pensions.
full legal immunity should be enough to compel a witness, even for those who committed the crimes. This is exposing the truth about the government for what it has become, and then letting the People force it’s representatives to comply or be replaced.
Sundances suggestion of put it all out there to be consumed negates the misinformation label. The people have to learn what some of us here already know. There is no misinformation, just information.
The goal is to get back our country and so much has been wrecked that this approach has so much merit!
After processing this I am at least hopeful that this could be the start to the finish of the corrupt system.
The corruption of our government from top to bottom including on the federal, state and local levels has become so entrenched and is at the finishing touch phase.
The courts are not following the laws so agreeing to immunity as Sundance pointed out is not giving up anything anyway!
I believe there are many more potential patriots in the garbage heap that can expedite this committee investigation.
In conclusion, what do we have to lose?
The citizens of this country have already lost so much and it did not happen over night, so in order to get it back it will take time. Sometimes baby steps in the right direction with setbacks to be expected.
As long as the patriots do their part, big and small fighting for the country we will prevail!
If your main source is “witnesses” then Lawfare will focus on “witnesses”.
Without them, there is no case.
Also – Sundance, you begin by making some assumptions. Assuming the staff is prepared and knowledgeable as you are is probably not a good assumption. Assume they know nothing and will take a year+ just to get their legs walking (not running). This leads to nothing major for a year. By then, the Lawfare side would have come with a plan and narrative to dispel and pin Jordan for another year.
I’m not as confident or positive that this will work. Sounds like a good plan, but not one that will be implemented. I’m expecting to see a bunch of “Jordan destroyed so and so in a committee verbal duel” that no one cares and goes nowhere. That’s pretty much it. Oh, and all networks will Black Hole it. The Website will take forever and will have issues from the get go because you know… Big Tech.
This whole process is another 2 years of tick tocks and Hannity bull.
What’s the intention of all of this? People will get bored and become cynical (like me) and will end up accepting whatever the elites decide for them.
The end of the Elites will come when they start eating each other. So, in about 50 to 100 years… even then, the remaining Elites will land on their feet just like the ex-commies did in Eastern Europe.
And the Game Goes On.
Sundance outlines a profoundly wise and insightful plan of attack, hopefully the committee will follow that route, to produce a periodic, rather than final report of proceedings.
Can nothing be done for those in the J6 gulag?
I long to see a Captain of battle step into the fray for their freedom.
If the new Church Committee doesn’t work, what about new Nuremberg Trials — and their inevitable conclusion.
Hopes dashed.
ok, Tucker, just like saying “the FBI rank and file” are good people, MOST of CONGRESS is NOT GOOD PEOPLE.
And they are not our best and brightest. Most are smarmy con men.
Tucker knows that – and is why he is putting out this information to his audience.
“All
Mostare smarmy con men and women.” There. Fixed that for ya.It is the corrupt signaling how low they will go.
Like many have said the corrupt do not care that the “cat is out of the bag”.
What better way to demonstrate their brazen power then an “in your face” symbol of a corrupt, sleazy, unqualified Country leader? in “the people’s house!”
I believe Zelensky asked/demanded it, just watch how he addressed the house members on his recent visit. Pelosi and her gang were applauding with zeal.
After that I can picture Zelensky saying “besides the cut I get for the next billions I launder I would like a large bust of me on display right where I did my speech.”
I thought it was a joke.
This is another Wizard of Oz “Dorthy were not in Kansas anymore” moment for me!
They will start caring when their family members stop dropping like flies. Thats the only thing they will care about. Time to send in Peppermint.
Virtue signaling morons.
I guess we can assume Rep Joe Wilson has his hand in the Ukraine Cookie jar. Who knew…
Either that or the IC has some real dirt on him and picked him out to put this insane idea out there to make him appear insane.
I’m not sure this is truly what one might call virtue signaling. I think this is closer to them simply rubbing it in our faces, knowing full well how most of the conservative population is disgusted by their corrupt collusion with the Nazis in Ukraine.
This might be one of those times where relentless ridicule is the appropriate course of action. This level of stupid is just asking for it.
well, Americans cried foul when they announced just thinking about
taking our gas ranges away! The memes were awesome!
Hmm. Why post this distraction from the subject at hand?
Are you F^king kidding ME?
Also of note:
I notice many of the usual thread distractions being posted under this article.
Looks like the 4th branch is here.
Maybe jam that Zelenskyyy bust right through the portrait of Queen Pelosi.
In a nutshell, expose the truth and then allow nature to take its course. It’s not about arresting people. It’s about stopping what is going on and dismantling the machine. Litigating means getting bogged down and being unable to “put on your pants” as the liars run away at full speed. Legislating means compromising and almost certainly making things worse as the “new and improved” replacement is repopulated with most of the same crooks.
amen.
So, when are the COVID-19 origin and vaccine fraud investigations starting?
Air Force Academy gridder collapses and dies en route to class
11 Jan 2023
https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2023/01/11/air-force-academy-gridder-collapses-and-dies-en-route-to-class/
U.S. Air Force Academy Cadet 3rd Class Hunter Brown, 21, died Monday when he suffered a “medical emergency” while on his way to class from his dormitory, the school said in a release Tuesday.
First responders were unable to resuscitate Brown at the scene.
Brown, a sophomore from Lake Charles, Louisiana, was pursuing a major in management and a minor in French as part of Cadet Squadron 16. He was an offensive lineman on USAFA’s football team, which saw back-to-back winning seasons in 2021 and 2022.
Twenty-five (25) minutes after a government witness or alphabet agency is not forthcoming with answers or evidence subpoenaed by any House Committee, initiate defunding the agency by 10% and defund the witness’ salary by 100%.
“Okay, who’s next to be called before the Committee?”
I LIKE IT! Hope it’s possible, your lips to God’s ears!
Fully agree with every aspect of your post. Thank you.
Maybe you should also subpoena Edward Snowden, spring him out of jail and grant him legal immunity also. Drop all charges. If he wants to stay where he is (and, out of jail forever), accept his testimony via videoconference. This person is one of the first and most-important “whistleblowers.” He was wrongfully persecuted for being so. He still has much to say.
Also: if you are constituents in the districts of Jordan or Massie, print a copy of this article and mail and/or e-mail it to them. Everyone who is selected to serve on this committee should have a copy of it – sent to them by the very people they represent.
Jack Smith should be defunded immediately! he was appointed after Garland knew of the hidden Bidum documents!
The ‘Deep State’ should really be called ‘The National Security State’. Since 1947 we’ve been under this emergency realm of secrecy. If we’re lucky, it will definitely get exposed and if it’s providence, it will get destroyed at best or seriously hampered at minimum.
Transparency is the only option. The People will figure it out.
The same People who voted for Fetterman??
Even when the obvious is staring you right in the face, the “People” are not that smart, too darn lazy and willing to comply with the status quo…. “let someone else deal with it.”
The first thing they need to do is clearly define their goal(s). Is it simply fact finding? Is it to hold the guilty accountable? Re-engineering the 3 branches to increase accountabiliy? Devise new laws to try to prevent the current ones from being broken with impunity? What’s the scope? Will it include private companies that were weaponized? They better have a cleat idea where they are headed and what they want out of this before they even start.
So the remedy to “fix” our corrupt political system is to use politicians to fix it.
Yeah, right…
There is no political solution to what we face as a nation.
I like the idea of everyone on the committee speaking to any media outlet. Gotta get the word out to all.
The Republicans need coaching on how to deal with the tricky Stephanopoulos type of questions. Maybe Luntz could help…maybe I’m kidding there.
But all committee members need to be able to get across their message over top of a lying filibustering media person.
I understand Sundances suggestion that there be no legal liability for all witnesses to the corruption that has occurred, who participated in it in any capacity, so that they may be able to come clean about all the facts without fear of retribution.
However I believe that all guilty parties who come forward as witnesses under that protection must be triple Vaxxed / boosted using the most concentrated batches of vaxx, immediately after they share their testimony and reveal their knowledge.
might a willing participant claim to be only a witness in order to get immunity?
Of course.
Exception for any treasonous behavior. No deal for them. Expose treasonous behavior and you have instant immunity.
A brilliant plan, SD, but I know of no one in DC with the strength, courage, or perseverance to carry it out. Maybe some of it will be accomplished, at least.
Pray for the Committee, without ceasing!
Kickin’ ballistics SD.
I’m not seeing American exceptionalism or PAX Americana, regardless what Tocqueville’s pseudo-American, French equity propaganda is hustling.
“Liberty for Slaves”, in Sierra Leone, said the monarch to the subject, until a tax revolt.
“Remove the stuff that is violating the constitution”
I would think legislation would be rquired to dissassemble certain beauracracies and also to remove certain phrases that created the deep loopholes we are in.
Witnesses might also be offered some protection from the blow back that is likely to ensue. A new job on the committee staff might be the best protection they can offer. Any repercussions would be met with “obstruction” accusations from the committee.
I’m not holding my breath waiting for the perp walks. We all know how well the swamp investigating itself works.
“Let me repeat this… There should be ZERO legal liability for any conduct that happened as a part of any witness effort to weaponize the United States government against the American people.”
I like it. If you give a witness total immunity for all past crimes, hell, you might get Hillary to spill the beans.
Hope for the best, but expect the worst.
Love it – and think it might work if you can get it adopted.
Even ‘if’ the committees get the documents in a timely fashion, what prevents the corrupt DOJ from prosecuting them for ‘other’ made-up or even ‘planted’ crimes as punishment?
Basically bankrupting them via Lawfare.
Exhibit A: General Michael Flynn
When it’s too late to tie up their target in court they place hits on them to send a message to other would-be ‘leakers’. Plus now we have many Sudden Adult Deaths going around right now as cover.
Exhibit B: Seth Rich.
Never forget that too many of these stooges of Satan have ‘no’ limits, just as their lord and master doesn’t.
Fortunately, we have many corrupt ‘Representatives’ in DC that a general amnesty combined with serious legal and financial repercussions for anyone or organization who publically ‘leaks’ personally embarrassing information on said ‘Representatives’ would pass both the House and Senate by vote-proof majorities.
I’m sure FJB, the head of the Biden crime family would sign it into law even if the law was passed by just a majority.
We the People want our limited government Constitutional Republic back.
Which also ‘requires’ a legitimate election system by definition. Not an election process that the fourth branch and uniparty system can use to reward their foot soldiers while removing or preventing too many patriots from legitimately gaining office.
If a bunch of traitors, both big and small, need to walk in exchange, so be it. Vengeance is mine says the Lord.
I think a good compromise is that in order to be granted this amnesty of all ‘past’ crimes you must leave office in the next election cycle. In short, it’s time-limited in some way. For example, if you can’t help yourself until you leave office then maybe it’s best just to resign after it’s signed into law. Keeping in mind that all future crimes can and will be prosecuted under the existing black letter law.
Most of the comments here are based upon some combination of rightful indignation, defeatism, or parliamentary procedures.
Never forget this is a blackmail operation of the fourth branch on the three ‘Constitutional’ legitimate branches.
Thus none of these strategies will work, the worst of which is defeatism.
Further, this corruption centered in DC extends deeply into the States, Corporations, and Parties which all buy and sell influence to the highest bidders, both nationally and internationally. Our current election system is just a facade to put a thin layer of ‘legitimacy’ for what remains of the useful idiots out there.
While getting to the bottom of the details of how this ‘progressively’ occurred, over many decades, will be useful in fixing the problem and putting additional guards on the Constitution to prevent or at least slow its growth in the future; none of this happens without getting rid of the existing system of blackmail that exists ‘today’.
One master legislative cut through the gordian knot, that MAGA and Uniparty will vote.
“Then let us be rid of it.”
The opposite of Love is not Hate, but Indifference. The opposite of Hate is Forgiveness.
Even Sam found a way to forgive Frodo when he refused to destroy the ring of power at the very end.
Sam, having held the ring of power for even a brief time could feel its corrupting influence. Fortunately, it was too brief to corrupt him as well.
Obviously, this is one of the amendments we need to add to the Constitution, term limits for ‘all’ offices nationwide.
The ring of power will corrupt us all given enough time. How long will it takes will depend upon our character, duration, and power level.
It’s easy to judge others that have experienced things we haven’t. God sees all. I trust in his judgment and forgiveness. Forgiveness that is based upon our own.
Matthew 6:12
That cuts both ways, when Lawfare employees experience SDAS themselves, they may just back off in order to spare their families too.
That is a magnificent dissertation, Sundance. Thanks for educating Mr.
Agenda Item 1: Use of “obstruction” and “ongoing investigation” and “false classifications” to hide illegal Government activity.
Get out in front of the Special Counsel by sending him a subpoena whose specific purpose is to provide evidence to the SC that the SC is used to bury evidence of crimes by FBI, DOJ, and other employees. Durham is an example of this, as was the phony prosecution of Gen Mike Flynn.
“We are prepared to bring this evidence before a court in order to force your compliance with this inquiry. We know the purpose of your investigation is to hide criminal conduct.”
Go right at it.
The weaponization of government requires secrecy. The weapon of choice to maintain secrecy? “ongoing investigation”, threats of “obstruction” and patently false security classifications.
Sunlight Fellas, Sunlight!
Given the obvious corruption everywhere, would it be possible for States to prosecute crimes that occur in their territory? How many of these swamp creatures live in Virgina? I’m not a lawyer and I don’t play one on the internet, but why would it only have to be federal charges that should be pursued? Remember, Al Capone was nailed with tax evasion..
Just asking.
That LISA person should be the first and last to testify.
We the people are still to fat and lazy to fix this ourselves. The “harvesting” within our elections systems was a calculated risk result scenario served up with side order of fake hysteria over a bed of steaming bats. They cut out our voice. Only those who are paying attention will care about the results from this committee. Without a fair media, the people not paying attention wont care about any of this. Sorry to be so pessimistic but only God can right the wrongs these thieves have done. God will allow time for the pain and misery to reach that point where questions will no longer need asking because the Saxon (metaphor) will have begun to hate.
Garland just appointed a special council investigation to thwart ANY sunlight from the newly seated Congress…..
This seems so overwhelmingly hopeless, that I feel that returning the House to regular order and forcing single issue bills is a more important way to stop the swamp, since they depend on the “go along to get along” feature of the the omnibus and earmarks to wield power.
That the Government of the United States has not produced a budget for decades now is an indictment of their perfidy.
Demand the the House does their job and passes separate budget bills for each and every agency. It’s in the rules, come on Freedom caucus, hold McC’s feet to the fire.
The Committee using its own website to report daily findings and results – as opposed to the typical use of Tw*tter and Fa*ebook – is a must IMO.
WOW…if these appointed congressmen and women have deep patriotic courage, perhaps there is a chance to save our once great nation without descending into the cauldron of bloody civil war?
Knowing how the deep state operates there’s a very good chance they will have their own operatives on the commission be wary of this
I would certainly list the crimes of the deep state going back 50+ years the stuff they’ve already been caught with is more than enough to shed sunlight
I put the below on the Open Thread a bit earlier today, and thought it’d be appropriate for this thread too. I tried to get it directly to Rep Jordan, Rep Roy and others but I’m not in their districts. Might be an exercise in futility, but ya never know until ya try..
Might be too cute by half, but I’d comb the archives for every request for information sent by Congress that has not been answered in the last 2 years. I’d then sort them by the receiving entity at the Department level (State, DoD, CIA, Etc) with a sub-sort on anything the FBI has yet to answer. I’d print them all out in this sort, and call each Dept Secretary (or head of the FBI for that sub-sort) into the House for testimony, and give them a copy of the correspondence that has yet to be answered. After they are given hard copies the unanswered mail, I’d have the house vote on a measure to make responses by a certain date compulsory.
I’d also provide all the unanswered mail to the WH with a promise to not let this drop. If we are searching for accountability, this would be a start.
I’d announce the compulsory response date, and that hearings would be held on that date to present statistics on the response rate, and tell the dept secretaries up-front they will be back in front of the Congress on that date to explain why they have not answered the mail. A threat of stopping their pay on that date, and not resuming it until the mail gets answered would be a a nice touch.
On a macro level, a similar baselining of FOIA response rates would be useful. If there are any FOIA requests of particular importance they could be highlighted and special efforts made to get them answered.
I’d also establish an org within the new Select Committee on Weaponization of the Federal Government (or Cmte on Government Oversight) to take all this data, and put it in a database to track responses. This org would also begin tracking new requests for information, and add them to the database. When something gets answered annotate it as such. This would give real-time ability to track what has not yet been answered.
I’d also establish a website to publish all the unanswered email so the voters can see, if interested, what mail has yet to be answered and what is being ignored.
Tracking and follow-up are one of the foundational stones of accountability. Make it painful and embarrassing to continue to just outright ignore the Congress.
I think this is a phenomenal approach.
Instant reporting to The People.
Instant judging by The People.
In due time The People will come to consensus on the appropriate remedy.
It can be fixed if this roadmap is followed without deviation. Any sidesteps will impact The People’s confidence in the process. The People will only have confidence in an instantly transparent process. No delays.
This is what President Trump gave The People. That’s why he has and retains our confidence.
Well done Sundance.
The only way I would agree to you being drafted to be on the committee is if you alone drafted all instant transpart releases in info on the designated web page.
Yes. That would work nicely.
No pretending from you.
No amnesty for treason
