Jim Jordan Will Take Action Against FBI After The Damning Durham Report Exposes The Bureau's Corruption

Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH), Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, was interviewed by Sean Hannity on Fox News following the public release of the Durham report of FBI misconduct toward Donald Trump in its 2016 investigation of him where Jordan commented that the next step was for Congress to slash the FBI's budget, according to Breitbart News. 

Mr. Jordan began his remarks on the politicized nature of the intelligence community. He recounted that "in 2016, it was the Clinton campaign working with the FBI to go after President Trump in his election, his campaign. In 2020, it was 51 former CIA agents and intel officials working with the Biden campaign to do the same thing. So we have seen it twice, and one was the FBI. The second was former intel officials, but the same objective was to go after President Trump and keep him from being president."

    The Ohio lawmaker then turned his attention to the damning information from the Durham report. "This report was tough as you get...It said the Comey FBI failed to follow its mission to uphold fidelity to the law," he said. "Think about that — failed to follow the law is what it found. No evidence. No predicate. No evidence whatsoever to start this investigation, and then they talked about a trusted source who came and said, hey, this really looks like it’s the Clinton campaign making it up to go after President Trump and dismissed that evidence and went after him nonetheless. That’s how bad this is. That’s what this report shows."

Representative Jordan pivoted to a call for action by Congress. He noted that "the only way we can hold them accountable is by going after the one thing that everybody cares about — the money. We have to look at the appropriations. That’s the only leverage we ultimately have in Congress." The Republican representative observed, "We have to look at the power of the purse if we are ever going to get control of these agencies who did this not just once but multiple times."

Jordan also took to social media to summarize the content of the Durham report by tweeting simply that there was "NO COLLUSION" between Trump and Russia found. 
 

NO COLLUSION.
