Robert F. Kennedy Jr. [RFK Je.] 69, was grilled in Rep. Jim Jordan’s (R-Ohio) Weeaponizatio Subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee for controversial statements made about the Covid-19 virus. RFK Jr. said, in private remarks, that he’s seen reports, credible or not, that the virus was engineered to target Caucasians and Blacks, leaving Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese more immune to the deadly novel coronvirus. British Ministry of Health authorities said that European Jews living in England had more severe Covid-19 responses and deaths than other ethnic groups, disputing RFK Jr.’s off-the-record remarks. But Democrats led by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fl.), former Democratic National Committee Chair, went after RFK Jr. with a vengeance, largely to avoid any real discussion of what Jordan sees a GOP targeting by government agencies.
Jordan’s Weaponization Subcommittee seeks to find out whether the Department of Justice and FBI unfairly target Republicans for political purposes. Wasserman-Schultz wants no part of any discussion that deals with basic topic of using federal law enforcement and intel agencies to target political figures. When Trump ran for president in 2016, the DOJ and FBI opened up a counterintelligence investigation into Trump and his 2016 campaign based of former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton paid opposition research AKA the Steele dossier. Former CIA Director John Brennan, 67, was given Hillary’s dossier on Trump by the late Sen. John McCain (R-Az), to help sabotage Trump’s campaign. McCain had a vendetta with Trump for comments he made about his POW status in the Vietnam War. Brennan gave the dossier to 62-year-old former FBI Director James Comey.
When Jordan wants to expose weaponization of the federal government, he’s talking about how the Obama administration used the DOJ and FBI to help Hillary’s 2016 campaign, including exonerating her from obstruction of justice charges related to her private server. Hillary deliberately ordered a tech company to erase at least 33,000 emails of her private server, potentially incriminating evidence against her while serving as Secretary of State. Yet 55-year-old former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe dropped Hillary’s investigation. So, when Wasserman-Schultz goes after RFK Jr. it’s to divert attention away to what really happens at the DOJ and FBI with respect to investigating Trump. Former President Donald Trump faces Special Counsel Jack Smith’s charges for a variety of federal crimes related to Jan. 6, 2021 and classified docs found at Mar-a-Lago.
Wasserman-Schultz doesn’t want to spend one second acknowledging the deep state Democrats at the DOJ and FBI conspired in 2016 to sabotage Trump campaign and currently go after the president for real-or-imagined crimes. Recent analysis of a DOJ target letter to Trump indicates that Smith plans to use post-Civil War-era statutes designed to stop insurrection by disgruntled Southerners. House Democrats prosecuting Trump in the Jan. 6 Select Committee insist that Trump and his supporters tried to overthrow the U.S. government. Whether Trump broke the law or not, no sane prosecutor can claim the Jan. 6 rabble-rousers, breaking into the Capitol were trying to overthrow the U.S. government. If some of the Proud Boys or Oathkeepers thought they could disrupt the Electoral College vote certification, that certainly broke federal laws related to the orderly transfer of power.
Grilling RFK Jr. or demonizing him as an anti-Semite in Jordan’s committee doesn’t hide the fact that during the over two year pandemic Democrats, the press and the government all denied that Chinese microbiologists engineered the deadly novel coronavirus from a harmless bat virus in a Wuhan lab. Wasserman-Schultz, Democrats and the press promoted Dr. Anthony Fauci’s natural occurrence theory without any evidence that the deadly novel coronavirus occurred from what Fauci called natural source. Chinese Foreign Minister Spokes Zhao Lijian said only two days after the World Health Organization [WHO] declared a global pandemic March 11, 2020, that the deadly novel coronvirus was made in America and exported to China by the U.S. military. Not one news outlet, not one government agency, not one U.S. official including Fauci, acknowledged Lijian’s officials statement.
So, when it comes to Jordan’s weaponization hearing, what’s the public supposed to think about the government targeting former President Donald Trump or denying that the deadly novel coronvirus originated from a bioweapons lab at the Wuhan Institute of Virology? Trump said April 30, 2020 the deadly novel coronavirus was made in a Wuhan lab, prompting Fauci, the U.S. press and Democrats to call it a conspiracy theory. Three years later the government and press reluctantly admit that there’s credible evidence of a Wuhan lab leak. Jordan’s committee wants to get to the bottom of how government agencies can be used to target Republicans for political purposes. Targeting RFK Jr. because he threatens Biden’s reelection is no excuse for not recognizing how government agencies are hijacked by deep state political hacks. Democrats discredit RFK Jr. today, tomorrow it’s someone else.
