ANALYSIS<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 LONG OVERDUE – The\u00a0<\/strong>new Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government will soon be investigating federal agencies that have abused their power and violated Americans\u2019 rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spotlight should be especially focused on those federal agencies in the law enforcement and intelligence arenas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I have repeatedly argued, this subcommittee is long overdue and badly needed, as the always growing behemoth that is our federal government has in recent years been fully weaponized for partisan gain and abused citizens of all stripes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The active partisan involvement by the FBI in helping cover up Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop, along with current and retired senior officials in the intelligence community working to discredit the laptop, should be front and center of these investigations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As should the entire Hillary Clinton campaign contrived Trump-Russia-collusion hoax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More recently, new bombshells of this vast federal overreach and abuse have been dropped by Elon Musk\u2019s \u2018Twitter Files\u2019 expose\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These files show a deep unconstitutional collusion between the FBI and a multitude of federal agencies and Big Tech, especially Twitter to censor and block online content posted and read by millions of Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This illegal activity violating Americans\u2019 first amendment rights is also a huge concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According<\/a> to The Epoch Times:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

For now, the subcommittee will specifically look at abuses by the Department of Justice (<\/em>DOJ<\/a><\/em>) and <\/em>FBI<\/a><\/em>, the legality of vaccine mandates, disinformation about conservative-sponsored election security laws, and censorship by big tech firms under government pressure, according to subcommittee members.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

While created by Republicans the new select subcommittee has a broad mandate. It will be chaired by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since its creation, some Democrats have called the panel a Republican ploy to deflect from ongoing investigations into the Jan. 6 Capitol breach and former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On January 10, Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) using every leftist talking point and incendiary partisan term he could muster, called it \u201cnothing more than a deranged ploy by the MAGA extremists who have hijacked the party and want to use taxpayer money to push their far-right conspiracy nonsense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republican subcommittee members dismissed these allegations, with one congressman saying that this vast federal overreach which they will be investigating represents \u201cthe signature abuse of power of our time,\u201d in much the same way Watergate defined another era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ET adds<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The new panel will examine how these abuses happened, how to correct them, and how to make sure the abuses won\u2019t happen again, subcommittee member Rep. Mike Johnson told The Epoch Times.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince the beginning of the Biden administration, some federal agencies designed to serve and keep Americans safe have instead been turned against them,\u201d he said.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis fact is beyond dispute. The Biden Administration has used counterterrorism resources against the parents of school children, raided the homes of political opponents, targeted conservative states over their election integrity laws, inflated domestic extremism statistics, and instituted illegal vaccine mandates, just to name a handful of examples,\u201d he added.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

However, the members emphasized that the subcommittee won\u2019t be limited to investigating specific abuses, like the Russian collusion hoax or specific agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have a very broad charter. We\u2019re not limited to [investigating the] DOJ and FBI,\u201d said Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is a good thing, because the abuse and corruption at our federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies extends far beyond the DOJ and the FBI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
