Speaking on Fox News Channel\u2019s \u201cHannity\u201d on Monday night, the House Judiciary Committee chairman highlighted a pattern of behavior by Democrats, accusing them of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rep-jim-jordan-says-congress-must-target-fbis-budget-in-wake-of-durham-report\/\" title=\"Jim Jordan urges Congress to cut FBI's budget after Durham Report.\">creating false narratives amplified<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/protesters-clash-with-cops-threaten-to-burn-dc-during-black-lives-matter-march\/\" title=\"Protesters Clash With Cops, Threaten To \u2018Burn\u2019 DC During \u2018Black Lives Matter\u2019 March\">legacy media outlets<\/a> and Big Tech.<\/p>\n<h3>Collaboration with Clinton and Biden Campaigns<\/h3>\n<p>Citing Durham\u2019s report, Jordan said on Monday that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton\u2019s campaign collaborated with the FBI in 2016 to target Trump, while in 2020, 51 former CIA agents and intelligence officials worked with then-former Vice President Joe Biden\u2019s campaign to achieve the same objective. Jordan emphasized that in both instances, the aim was to target Trump and prevent him from assuming office.<\/p>\n<h3>Durham Report Reveals FBI\u2019s Failure to Follow the Law<\/h3>\n<p>The 306-page Durham report (pdf), which was released by the Justice Department on Monday, highlights the disparity between the FBI\u2019s handling of issues related to Clinton\u2019s campaign and those involving her Republican opponent, then-presidential candidate Donald Trump. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/snopes-posts-bogus-pro-aoc-fact-check-ends-up-exposing-its-left-wing-bias\/\" title=\"Snopes Posts Bogus Pro-AOC \u2018Fact Check,\u2019 Ends Up Exposing Its Left-Wing Bias\">report concluded<\/a> that the FBI\u2019s investigation into alleged collusion between Trump\u2019s campaign and Russia demonstrated a \u201clack of analytical rigor, apparent confirmation bias, and an over-willingness to rely on information from individuals connected to political opponents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jordan described Durham\u2019s report as scathing and criticized the James Comey-led FBI for failing to uphold its mission of fidelity to the law. The report found no evidence or predicate for initiating the FBI\u2019s investigation. Bureau officials even dismissed investigating evidence suggesting that the Clinton campaign might have fabricated the allegations against Trump, Jordan alleged.<\/p>\n<h3>Targeting FBI\u2019s Budget Through Appropriations<\/h3>\n<p>To hold the agency accountable, Jordan proposed targeting the FBI\u2019s budget through appropriations, saying that it is the most effective leverage that Congress possesses. He argued that looking into funding would help regain control over agencies that repeatedly engaged in such behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the \u201cCrossfire Hurricane\u201d investigation into Trump and its impact on the country, Jordan said that for three years, the public was inundated with discussions of collusion with Russia, the Mueller investigation, and impeachment. He emphasized the importance of leveraging the power of the purse to address this discrepancy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
