Jim Jordan just got his very own “Weaponization” committee and still holds the gavel as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. That one had several investigations in progress before the election. It’s no surprise that Democrats stonewalled them at every turn. Last year, Joe Biden’s new lawyer told Jordan that Merrick Garland wasn’t turning over anything until hell freezes over or Republicans regain control in congress, whichever comes first. The GOP got their one vote advantage in the House, so Jordan already got his investigations going again.
DOJ Weaponization probes renewed with vigor
The weaponization panel is still under construction but it’s chairman, Jim Jordan, isn’t wasting any time getting up to speed. He’s already moving into oversight overdrive by “resubmitting” all the allegations he submitted previously. Along with a laundry list of sensitive document and evidence requests.
Democrats could have obeyed their oaths of office by cooperating voluntarily before the election but they didn’t. Now, Jordan is a watchdog with real teeth. “House Judiciary Republicans will use compulsory processes, if necessary, to get answers for the American people,” the committees official account tweeted.
On Tuesday, January 17, Ohio conservative Jim Jordan “re-sent letters to seven Biden administration officials expected to spur multiple investigations into issues including the southern border crisis, purported politicization at federal agencies, the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, and Hunter Biden.” For starters.

He’s been dogging that trail for months. It’s all part of the overall “weaponization” of the Just Us Department, which has run rampant for far too long.
Previously, Joe Biden’s new lawyer, Richard Sauber, who’s also representing Imperial Palace administration, informed Jordan “he would have to resubmit all his requests.” Once he sees them, his paralegals “will review and respond to them in good faith, consistent with the needs and obligations of both branches.” In other words, the weaponization will continue as usual.
Team Biden will ignore requests as long as possible and produce practically nothing. When they finally have to come across with something, all the millions of harmless records will be produced first, while anything shady goes to the bottom of the pile, or shredder.
Basic document requests
“For two years, the Biden Administration has stonewalled Congress, refused to comply with basic document requests, and avoided transparency and accountability for its failures,” the weaponization committee chair writes. There’s a new sheriff in town. One “committed to holding each agency accountable under the new majority.” His cover letter to Joe Biden’s Chief of Staff Ron Klain slammed the Palace for “noncomplaince.” They should have voluntarily submitted everything.
“To date, you have not complied with our long-outstanding requests for information and documents.” Instead, Biden’s flunkies “provided a perfunctory letter that discounted Congress’s constitutional oversight authorities, failed to produce any documents or information requested, and declined to address any matters of substance.” Those days are over.
Besides Klain, another half-dozen officials got a nastygram from the weaponization watchdog. Gestapo General Merrick Garland, Federal Bureau of Instigation Director Christopher Wray, Minister of Domestic Security Alejandro Mayorkas, Indoctrination Minister Miguel Cardona, ATF Director Steve Dettelbach, and DEA honcho Anne Milgram.

The letters to Klain and Cardona are probing “the Biden Administration’s misuse of federal criminal and counterterrorism resources to target concerned parents at school board meetings.”
In the letter to GG Garland, Jordan demands “much more accountability and transparency.” Particularly about “misuse of law enforcement resources.” That’s the very definition of “weaponization.”
Parents “voicing their concerns at school board meetings are not domestic terrorists, yet, your anti-parent directive remains in effect and as a result, the threat of federal law enforcement continues to chill the First Amendment rights of American parents.” Two separate oversight committees aren’t going to stand for it. “We intend to continue to pursue this serious misuse of federal law-enforcement resources.“
