House Republicans Investigate FBI

Newly empowered House Republicans are preparing to investigate United States law enforcement and national agencies. The House plans to vote this week on a resolution to create a special judiciary subcommittee on the “weaponization of the federal government.” The panel would be overseen by Rep. Jim Jordan, an Ohio Republican who is an ally of President Donald Trump. In a Fox News interview last night, Rep. Chip Roy of Texas said this panel was one of the concessions House Speaker Kevin McCarthy made in return for the support of “Make America Great Again” Republicans.

Why this matters: Many Republicans promoting Jordan’s panel are likening it to a “Church Committee,” referring to the 1970s investigation by Sen. Frank Church into government overreach. When Senator Church investigated the activities of the Central Intelligence Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation and National Security Agency in the 1970s, he warned that technological advancements were giving these agencies unprecedented surveillance powers that would allow whoever controlled these agencies to impose a tyranny on America. Yet rather than heed Church’s warning, Americans allowed these powers to grow stronger during the presidencies of George W. Bush and Barack Obama.

Prophecy says: Americans today are not living in the nation of their Founding Fathers or even of their own fathers. The nation’s government is evolving away from the constitutional republic it once was into an authoritarian technocracy. The Bible says this loss of freedom is a bitter affliction God allows to wake people up so they realize how far they have strayed from His laws (2 Kings 14:26-28). This passage also shows that God will save America temporarily, so people have a chance to repent of these sins. But the radical left’s control over the intelligence community has progressed to a point where it will take a mighty miracle for this to occur.
