Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) will soon become chairman of the powerful House Judiciary Committee and he’s made it clear he’ll be forming a special subcommittee to look into what some Republicans are calling the “weaponization” of the FBI, DOJ, and other security agencies by the Biden administration. The formation of the subcommittee is part of an agreement Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) made with GOP hardliners so he could take the mantle as House speaker. The special committee is also expected to gain access to all information shared with the House Intelligence Committee. Straight Arrow News contributor Ben Weingarten argues there’s plenty to investigate.

Consider just a few of the many areas ripe for investigation – many of which we’ve discussed right here at Straight Arrow News: The Deep State’s inflation of the domestic violent extremist threat—under which it’s equated “MAGA” with “terrorist.”

The FBI’s suppression of Hunter Biden’s laptop and seeming unwillingness to pursue related investigations, including into how President Joe might be implicated in corrupt foreign influence-peddling with our worst adversaries—while pursuing, along with DOJ, those who dared to look into Ashley Biden’s diary. The DOJ’s pursuit of parents critical of draconian COVID-19 policies and CRT as terrorists. The unprecedented Mar-a-Lago raid. And the DOJ/FBI’s hyper-political pursuit of Republican members of Congress, state legislators, and numerous others in connection with Jan. 6.

And then there’s Russiagate itself and all of its related scandals, from FISA abuse, to the jihads against Michael Flynn and others, to recent revelations that the Department of Justice was snooping on congressional investigators, trying to get them off the tail of Russiagate.

These are just some of many threads that when pulled, show a national security and law enforcement apparatus willing to use and abuse its awesome powers to target dissenters from prevailing ruling-class orthodoxy and protect its own – pursuing conservatives on the very grounds they refused to pursue the likes of Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and others.

The security state is the tip of the spear of a ruling-class war on wrong think that casts dissenters as terrorists, and aims to silence them by censorship and coercion, or even criminalization.
