The Columbia Bugle's Sunday Newsletter

February 6th-12th

One of the most important victories in the Speaker fight last month was an agreement to establish a “Church-Style” Committee to investigate the Weaponization of the Federal Government. A committee like this is long overdo and a welcome sight. The original Church Committee unearthed quite a bit of disturbing revelations about these out of control agencies, hopefully this 2.0 version can do the same, and much much more.

The Weaponization “Church-Style” Committee Begins

The First Hearing of the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government kicked off this week.

We covered the establishment of this committee and some of its plans in our newsletter from January.

There are pretty high expectations for this committee, but they must deliver. Republicans were put back in power to conduct true oversight and reign in this corrupt and out of control Swamp.

Thankfully, many of the Republicans who have been the most serious in taking on the Swamp are seated on the committee. Representatives Gaetz, Massie, and Bishop give us a lot of hope that this committee will be focused and bold in their pursuit of the truth.

Representative Bishop:

From Our Sunday Newsletter In July: Congressman Dan Bishop Grills Biden’s DOJ On The Governor Whitmer Kidnapping Plot

Rep. Dan Bishop @RepDanBishop

Just before the 2020 election, the FBI announced it had thwarted an alleged plot to kidnap the Michigan governor. A jury found that the FBI had actually entrapped at least 2 of the defendants. Is this how the DOJ carries out its operations? The American people deserve to know.

Rep. Bishop:

Rep. Dan Bishop @RepDanBishop

The FBI sought to silence constitutionally protected speech & access internal Twitter data to further their spying & censorship regime. The Twitter Files only tell part of the story. How much did the FBI pressure other social media platforms, ones w/ even more users & influence?

Chairman Jordan:

House Republicans @HouseGOP

House Judiciary Committee Chairman @Jim_Jordan highlights how numerous FBI whistleblowers have come forward to reveal multiple examples of how the FBI has been weaponized against conservatives.

Rep. Massie:

Weaponization Committee @Weaponization

#WATCH: @RepThomasMassie discusses the importance of brave whistleblowers speaking to Congress. It's important to shine a light on government waste, fraud, and abuse.

Rep. Stewart:

Rep. Chris Stewart @RepChrisStewart

Does the FBI think that 17 omissions and over 50 false assertions in one single FISA application - particularly regarding a then-sitting president - is acceptable? I still don’t know…

Rep. Stefanik:

Rep. Elise Stefanik @RepStefanik

Twitter had weekly meetings with the FBI, DHS, DOJ, and DNI. We know the FBI paid Twitter over $3 million taxpayer dollars to censor stories before the 2020 election. This is collusion. This is corruption. This is unconstitutional.

Rep. Elise Stefanik @RepStefanik

Parents are NOT domestic terrorists. The American people agree. The Biden Administration’s weaponization against parents is why the American people are losing trust in corrupt government agencies. @Weaponization is bringing accountability.

Rep. Johnson:

Rep. Mike Johnson @RepMikeJohnson

The timeline of coordination between the White House, DOJ, and NSBA is crystal clear. We will investigate many egregious examples of the federal government becoming weaponized against American citizens, and this is just the tip of the iceberg.

A solid start, covering a wide range of issues that must be pursued. Hopefully, this committee continues pulling on these threads and are provided with the resources and backing from leadership to boldly pursue the truth, wherever it leads.
