For The Sake Of The Republic, The Church-Style Weaponization Committee Must Answer These Questions

With the establishment of a Church-style committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, Congress now has a vital opportunity to hold America’s national security and law enforcement apparatus to account for its corrupt and lawless targeting of perceived political foes.

Rep. Jim Jordan, R.-Ohio, is the House Judiciary subcommittee’s chair. investigate the deep state’s depredations across the entirety of the executive branch, covering the full panoply of assaults on our civil liberties, and to take steps to prevent it from ever inflicting such damage on our republic again.

Consider the following: massive scope of the already-known security state scandalsThe stakes of putting the security state on trial and the consequences counterassault Against the committee already underwayTo seize this critical opportunity, it is essential that the panel acts in a highly strategic way.

It is important that planners consider the following questions before deciding on the right plan.

What is Success for the Committee? 

Every aspect of the planning should be based on how the new weaponization commission defines success. I believe the following would be a major victory for the American people if the panel did the following.

The committee must first expose the most serious and broad-ranging attacks on civil liberties by national security and law enforcement. It must then hold to account the most culpable actors through, at minimum, publicly revealing the full extent of their wrongdoing, demanding their respective agencies take commensurate disciplinary and other corrective action using any tools of compulsion if needed, and, where merited, making criminal referrals — notwithstanding the Biden Justice Department will be unlikely to move on them, in and of itself validating the committee’s work.

Upon doing this, the committee must elicit and, where possible, publicize testimony from witnesses and victims — including whistleblowers and targets of deep-state abuse. This will give victims some sort of catharsis, as they may never be brought to justice. It will also show the American people how much deep-state corruption has cost them. These steps would help build the political case for what should be the committee’s ultimate objective: to propose and pass laws necessary to prohibit and punish the hyper-politicization and weaponization of the national security and law enforcement apparatus going forward, including, if needed, radically restructuring the apparatus.

What are the areas that the Committee should investigate?

Unfortunately, target-rich environment What are the most important areas that the committee should investigate, given the national security and law enforcement apparatus’s abuse of its power, the finite resources and time with which it will operate, and the subversion and stonewalling it is likely to encounter, 

The deep state has been targeting Americans on ever-larger grounds since Donald Trump fell the escalator of his tower. The beginning of domestic targeting has been a dramatic increase. “narrower” You should pursue “Trump world” on the grounds of purported collusion with a foreign adversary — of being treasonous.
