House Republicans Launch Investigation into Wave of Political Targeting from Biden’s Lame-Duck DOJ

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) is launching investigations into a reported wave of politically motivated actions taken by President Joe Biden’s lame-duck Department of Justice (DOJ).
During an interview with Just The News, Jordan raised the alarm about Biden’s DOJ going wild with the limited time the department has left.
The outgoing DOJ is scrambling to push political targeting through before President Donald Trump cleans house.
One example that Jordan pointed out was the DOJ’s targeting of Elon Musk and his companies.
The DOJ has been targeting Musk after his overt support for Trump’s campaign.
In fact, Biden’s DOJ may have broken the law by sending a letter to Musk that essentially amounted to a threat from a federal agency against someone who was campaigning on behalf of a presidential candidate.
There are numerous other accusations of abusive antitrust inquiries as examples of potentially abusive DOJ behavior.
The moves may be the last gasp of the Biden administration to punish the Democrats’ political opponents.
Biden’s DOJ has engaged in thuggery and intimidation against red states and conservatives for years.
However, the weaponized DOJ now only has a couple of months before Trump is sworn into office and it will be game over for nearly everyone working there.
Jordan told JTN:
“This pattern of turning these agencies on the very people they’re supposed to serve — we the people, the taxpayers — has been a concern from the get-go.
“We’re concerned now with what they may be doing with the antitrust issue, going after companies as they’re heading out the door.”
Biden’s DOJ was busy trying to stop Republican states from combating voter fraud and most notably tried to prevent non-citizens from being purged from voter rolls.
Jordan touched on this by saying:
“Of course, right prior to the elections, we saw the Civil Rights Division in the Justice Department going after Virginia for simply keeping noncitizens from voting in our elections.
“Imagine that we got the same thing in Ohio, our Secretary of State was sent a letter three weeks before Election Day saying they were concerned about the good work he was doing.
“So we’re always concerned about this.
“We’re going to keep working.”
Jordan also wrote a letter to Assistant Attorney General Jonathan Kanter.
The letter warns Kanter and the rest of Biden’s DOJ that their political actions in the wake of the presidential election are inappropriate and will be punished.
Jordan stated, “We have received allegations that the Division sent demand letters to numerous businesses indicating an intention to start enforcement actions in the final days of the Biden-Harris Administration.
“With the American people clearly rejecting the failed policies of the Biden-Harris Administration, the Division’s actions are inappropriate and inconsistent with the will of the American people.”
With Trump making his return to the White House, federal agencies will be purged of leftists and other anti-American individuals who have targeted conservatives.
Former Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) will be leading that effort.
Trump nominated Gaetz, who promptly resigned from his position in Congress, this past week.
The announcement has already incited panic among both Democrats and establishment Republicans.
Gaetz himself has been hounded by Biden’s DOJ and has a personal stake in clearing out leftists that used the Justice Department’s power to target a political opponent.
Conservatives have been living in fear of Biden’s DOJ for years and now that will be coming to an end.
The leftists who corrupted our law enforcement systems for political gain will finally be held accountable for their actions.
