WH Slams Jordan’s Probe Of Feds’ Abuse Of Conservatives As McCarthyism ‘Reboot’

The White House disapproved of the House panel that was investigating the alleged weaponization by the federal government. It can be compared To the Joseph McCarthy hearings in the 1950s that sought out Communists within the federal government.

The Judiciary subcommittee intends to investigate allegations that the FBI and other federal agencies targeted conservatives. Rep. Jim Jordan (R.OH) created the committee to investigate several cases in which the DOJ allegedly targeted conservatives.

“We expect to hear from Americans who have been targeted by their government,” Jordan spoke Thursday at the opening of the hearings.

White House spokesperson Ian Sams immediately issued a four page memo. “interested parties,” in which he compared the panel to McCarthy’s infamous probes.

“Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan is launching the Fox News reboot of the House Un-American Activities Committee with a political stunt that weaponizes Congress to carry out the priorities of extreme MAGA Republicans in Congress,” He claimed.

Sams accused members of the panel of planning. “weaponize the MAGA agenda against their perceived political enemies, going after civil servants, private citizens, and the rule of law — all in service of getting booked on Fox News,” adding, “These extreme MAGA Republicans in Congress are choosing to make it their top priority to go down the rabbit hole of debunked conspiracy theories about a ‘deep state.’”

To support his attack on the committee, Sams used Left-wing politicians and entities such as The New York Times and The Washington Post to back up his claim.

“Over the course of my 12-plus years, the FBI’s trajectory has transformed,” Nicole Parker, former FBI Special Agent, testified in front of the panel. “The bureau’s mission remained the same but its priorities and governing principles shifted dramatically. The FBI became politically weaponized, starting from the top in Washington and trickling down to the field offices. Although FBI employees have their First Amendment rights, they are not at the liberty to allow their personal, political views or preferences to determine their course of action or inaction in any investigation.”

“Lady Justice must remain blind,” She continued. “It’s as if there became two FBIs. Americans see this and it is destroying the Bureau’s credibility, causing Americans to lose faith in the agency.”

“We do have direct action shown in the Twitter files by government employees,” Jonathan Turley, George Washington University’s law professor, made the point. “We know that there were dozens of federal employees who tabbed or targeted particular posts and posters for possible elimination and suspension.”

“Protecting the First Amendment shouldn’t be partisan,” Jordan declared. “Protecting the Constitution shouldn’t be partisan, and protecting the fundamental principle of equal treatment under the law should not be partisan.”

“Right now we live in a country where many Americans are afraid to speak freely, afraid to express themselves, afraid to have real, open dialogue and debate,” asserted former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who left the Democratic party, informed the panel.

“Afraid of losing their job, being canceled or be accused of a crime, which could happen if recently introduced legislation criminalizing so-called ‘hate speech” is passed into law,” she stated, continuing:

First Amendment protections speech regardless of its abhorrent nature. Fear and self-censorship are well-founded. There are individuals in our government who, often through Big Tech and the mainstream media, do exactly what our founders refused. They try to control what we can see and say, all while trying to protect us from misinformation. Of course they have appointed themselves the sole authority in the voice of truth, information and are backed by the most deadly force on the planet with the power of targeting anyone they deem to be a threat.
