Inside the House GOP’s plan to go after FBI and DOJ

House Republicans are taking their fight with the FBI and Justice Department to a new level — weighing punitive steps against both agencies that would have been unfathomable a decade ago.

Half a year into their majority, and with an increasingly restless right flank, the House GOP is ready for a confrontation after a spate of recent decisions it sees as either anti-Trump or pro-Biden. At the top of the list: Hunter Biden’s plea deal with federal investigators and Donald Trump’s indictment over his handling of classified documents.

Now that Hunter-mania has fizzled the POT needs to find a new topic the minions can grind their teeth in anger over. Ya gotta' keep it fresh, if you catch my drift. Not that the DoJ/FBI is a new villain for Trumpleton's. It just makes so much sense for them to ramp up the horseshyte they can't resist. Belief in the fictitious deep state is already part of the right wing air supply. With outrage over Trump's appointee shooting blanks at the junior Biden peaking the DoJ makes a logical target.

Cuz thus far, Gym Jordan's crusade has run aground through incompetence and a lack of the ability to make substantive charges in his quixotic hunt for examples of weaponization. There are examples of course, but they come from the prior admin. So these guys need to get busy with a shiny narrative the nitwits can obsess about in upcoming election cycle.
 
Whether they prevail in the form of budget cuts, impeachment, or other measures remains to be seen. Conservative efforts could backfire, instead exposing tension with centrist and more establishment Republicans who embrace the party’s pro-law enforcement roots — the prevailing sentiment inside the GOP before Trump came along.

The fault lines emerged during closed-door House GOP spending meetings in recent weeks, as some lawmakers warned others to think twice about how they use spending bills to target specific agencies. In one session, conservative Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) said he privately urged his colleagues to “be careful” about how they talk about Justice Department funding, adding: “I’m not in favor of cutting DOJ.”


As a resident of CO who is familiar with Ken, I would have never expected to see Buck emerge as a moderate voice. Which goes to show you have far off the deep end the Crazy has gone.

The FBI's original mandate was to root out political corruption.
In its current form it is doing the exact opposite.

Abolish them entirely.


The DOJ needs to be reigned in big time but is still needed imo IF it can be fixed. In its current form it is too political. Perhaps the top position should be an elected office rather than an appointed one to remove the obvious bias.
