Government Corruption
Ex-GOP Lawmaker Says House Investigations of FBI, CIA Will 'Shred the Integrity of the Federal Govt'
2023-01-08
[Red State] Sometimes, these articles almost write themselves. Or, due to hypocrisy, dishonesty, or unintentional humor, many stories beg to be covered. This is one of them, and the cast is perfect: an ex-Republican congressman, MSNBC, and the Democrat-weaponized FBI — with the CIA tossed in as a bonus.

Our tale begins with Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie’s revelation that now-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy agreed, as part of a deal with GOP lawmakers opposed to his speakership bid, to the formation of a committee modeled after the 1975 Senate Select Committee, formed by Senator Frank Church, which investigated abuses by the CIA, FBI, National Security Agency, and the IRS, as reported by my colleague Nick Arama.

Enter, ex-Republican Congressman-turned-MSNBC analyst David Jolly and his appearance on Katie Phang’s Saturday morning show. In reaction to the news that McCarthy agreed to organize the committee to investigate alleged abuses by the FBI and CIA in recent years, as reported by NewsBusters, Jolly suggested that Fox News viewers are degenerate drug addicts, desperate for their next fix of government-hating heroin. Great start, right?

Uh-huh, not a hint of bitter hatred there at all, Mr. Jolly.

Never mind, of course, that Elon Musk’s Twitter Files dumps revealed the FBI’s ongoing relationship with the Big Tech platform to suppress or ban news and opinions critical of the Hunter Biden laptop story prior to the 2020 presidential election — not to mention the involvement of the Democrat National Committee and the Joe Biden 2020 presidential campaign. And that’s just for starters.

#6  Exposing the shredded integrity is not the same as shredding the integrity. It figures an MSNBC analysis wouldn't know the difference.

#3  We don't need a "living constitution," we need an ironclad contract that puts a straitjacket of limitations on gummint at all levels, with "interpretability" utterly removed.

But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security. - Declaration of Independence.

#1  Shred the integrity of the Federal Gov't

How can what no longer exists be "shredded".
