The Big Five investigations planned by House GOP
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan
February 20, 2023 | Washington, D.C.
The workload that faces the newly seated GOP House of Representatives is overwhelming when viewed in terms of attempting to undo the damage done by a dangerously leftist regime.
To do so with a slim majority and with enough RINOs (Republicans in Name Only) to threaten that majority provides an added level of difficulty. Simultaneously launching a string of investigations aimed at the heart of the Deep State and its weaponization of whole swaths of our government may seem almost impossible, but exposing the corruption that has taken over our government ‘by the people’ is something we cannot afford to ignore.
Congressional committees are of limited consequence, as they have no power to prosecute, only to shine the spotlight and make the case to the American people. The Democrats have used that power to great effect, but they have the support of most of the news media and most of Big Tech to either promote or silence.
Therefore, it will be up to Republicans to make it their business to follow these investigations through whatever venues that allow them to be discussed evenly.

House Judiciary Committee hearings
Here are a few take-aways from the House Judiciary Committee hearings, chaired by Representative Jim Jordan.
Despite denials, it is clear that government officials were coordinating with Twitter employees to censor information that would have been harmful to Democrats and particularly to the Biden campaign. A Media Research Center poll shortly after the 2020 election found that 36 percent of self-described Biden voters said they were not aware of the evidence behind claims that he was personally involved in his son Hunter’s business deals with China, a claim bolstered by emails found on the abandoned laptop. Of those, 13 percent said that if they had known, they would not have voted for Biden.
Yoel Roth, Twitter’s former global head of Trust and Safety, said they were in error in suppressing news of the Hunter Biden laptop. “In 2020, the trust and safety team noticed activity related to the laptop popping up on Twitter, and that activity, at first glance, bore a lot of similarities to the 2016 Russian hack-and-leak operation,” Roth told lawmakers. “Twitter had to decide what to do. And in that moment, with limited information, Twitter made a mistake.”
Roth admitted to the panel that the New York Post’s reporting on the contents of the Hunter Biden laptop didn’t violate Twitter’s policies.
Rep. Gerald Connolly (D-VA) countered by suggesting the Trump administration had sought to squelch political speech on Twitter. “On May 27, 2020, President Donald J. Trump tweeted, and I quote, ‘Republicans feel that social media platforms totally silence conservatives…We will strongly regulate the monopolies or close them down before we ever allow this to happen.’ Does that not sound eerily like a government official telling Twitter [as] a threat, ‘We will shut you down if we don’t like the content?’”
Despite nearly everyone’s accepting the authenticity of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said the Post story on the laptop was “half-fake,” apparently meaning she thought it was at least half-true.
The importance of educating voters
It is the Modus Operandi of the Left to stop at nothing, no matter how illegal and immoral, to achieve their goals and dismiss all objections as crazy conspiracy theories. As the Right scrambles to unravel what the Leftists are doing, Leftists continue to entrench their power. Later, when mysteries are solved and truth begins to emerge, it is too late because the damage is already done and that damage is usually irreparable. Leftists have become so bold and secure in their ability to deceive that they will even admit it occasionally.
After Mitt Romney had lost to Barack Obama, retiring Senator Harry Reid was asked in an interview about his contention that Romney had paid no taxes. Reid rebuffed those who called his tactics McCarthyite. “Well, they can call it whatever they want,” Reid said. “Romney didn’t win, did he?”
This is why it is imperative for the grassroots to be ever vigilant and active in educating voters. We have certainly made some significant inroads as of late but we still have a lot of work to do.
