House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan tore into the coordinated lawfare against President Donald Trump on Greta Van Susteren’s The Record, calling out a who’s who of the intelligence and law-enforcement elite for targeting a sitting president. Jordan argued that these were not isolated mistakes but part of a sustained campaign by Obama and Biden-era officials to weaponize the federal state against a political opponent, and hardworking Americans deserve answers.
Jordan singled out former CIA Director John Brennan, saying the record shows Brennan “was out to get” President Trump and that Brennan’s actions around the Steele dossier were deeply suspect. Conservatives have long warned that the intelligence community bent rules and judgment to manufacture a narrative, and Jordan says that declassified material now underscores those concerns.
He didn’t spare other senior figures, accusing James Comey and James Clapper of setting a trap for the incoming Trump administration back in January 2017 by peddling the dossier despite knowing its flaws. This wasn’t mere incompetence — Jordan called it a deliberate setup that led to years of wasted investigations designed to delegitimize a democratically elected president.
Jordan also raised alarms about the Arctic Frost probe and how far Jack Smith’s team went, including accessing phone tolling data tied to members of Congress, which should terrify every American who values privacy and constitutional limits on government. If the DOJ and FBI can sweep up communications and records of senators and then expand that dragnet to ordinary citizens, we are watching the slow unraveling of basic civil liberties.
The chairman made it plain that Congress must subpoena, depose, and hold accountable those who used powerful institutions to pursue political ends, noting deputies in Smith’s shop have invoked the Fifth multiple times when questioned. This is not partisan theater — it’s a demand for rule-of-law scrutiny to prevent a permanent bureaucratic class from deciding who is above political competition.
For patriots who care about free speech, fair elections, and the integrity of our institutions, this moment calls for vigilance and action. Republicans in Congress should stop ceding the narrative to the deep state, force full transparency, and ensure that no official is allowed to weaponize government against their fellow citizens without consequence.
