Guaranteed shirt show - the only question is how embarrassing it will get.
Chuck, are you okay with the federal government pressuring social media companies to censor, restrict, or ban what US citizens say on social media?
I have zero confidence in Jordan, but I don't really have any trust or confidence in many if any House members. Justin Amash is the last House member that I trusted.No, I don’t think it’s appropriate for the actual federal government to “pressure” companies to regulate speech without some real and compelling national security justification that is exercised in the most limited way.
If that’s all this committee is examining, go for it, I would agree that’s a legitimate oversight issue. But Jordan is a partisan hack incapable of real governance, and I expect it will be an attempt at punitive, performative response to J6 and the Trump investigations.
If it’s not a total embarrassment, I’ll buy you a six pack.
I wonder if this committee even gets off the ground. Is there a precedent for the House exercising oversight over an Executive branch department? How will the courts rule when the DOJ shows that members of the House are people under investigation?
Also - Chuck - I’m hearing a bit of concern over the stated mission that this committee wants to directly perform oversight on active DOJ criminal investigations. Especially since there are presumably members of Congress who may be at least tangentially involved in those investigations. One who has expressed interest in serving on this committee had his phone seized by the FBI, IIRC.
Can they actually muck around in active investigations that may include MOC?
