Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) promised investigations, and he is delivering.
Not only has he delivered, but he is also going after all the big dogs.
In fact, he has subpoenaed several big dogs in the DOJ, much to their chagrin.
Hold On, Cowboy
FBI Director Christopher Wray found a subpoena on his desk by Jordan.
He is investigating how the FBI used what would normally be considered terrorist monitoring tools against parents.
He also went after Attorney General Merrick Garland and Education Secretary Miguel Cardona for the same reason.
The DOJ is clearly not happy with this.
Carlos Felipe Uriarte, assistant attorney general for the Office of Legislative Affairs responded to the inquiry.
He stated, “We remain ready to discuss next steps for the Department to address your informational needs while also respecting Executive Branch interests.
“We have offered to engage with the Committee and provide information voluntarily, so a subpoena is premature.
“The overwhelming majority of congressional requests for information are resolved through voluntary discussion and cooperation.
“This process of accommodation is also constitutionally mandated.
“Both Congress and the Executive Branch are required to negotiate in good faith to meet the informational needs of Congress while protecting the institutional interests of the Executive Branch.
“We are committed to working in good faith to respond to your requests and remain ready to discuss your informational needs and priorities for review and production of pertinent documents.”
Director Wray’s office also responded, stating, “As Director Wray and other FBI officials have stated clearly on numerous occasions before Congress and elsewhere, the FBI has never been in the business of investigating speech or policing speech at school board meetings or anywhere else, and we never will be.
“Our focus is and always will be on protecting people from violence and threats of violence.
“We are fully committed to preserving and protecting First Amendment rights including the right to free speech.”
Based on what the Dems did when they were investigating Trump, do not expect Jordan to sit back.
