Kevin McCarthy names GOP members to serve on committees probing ‘weaponization’ of feds, COVID-19 origins:

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced on Tuesday which Republicans will serve on politically charged select subcommittees that will investigate the “weaponization” of the federal government and the origins of COVID-19.

The House voted along party lines earlier this month to create the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government to investigate civil liberties issues and how the government and private companies collect and analyze information on Americans, according to the resolution establishing the panel.

The weaponization subcommittee is also expected to probe ongoing criminal investigations, particularly those related to rioters charged with storming the Capitol Building on Jan. 6, .2021, and the two criminal investigations of former President Donald Trump, for his mishandling of classified documents and presidential papers and his alleged role in efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election

“The government has a responsibility to serve the American people, not go after them. Unfortunately, throughout Democrats’ one-party rule in Washington we saw a dangerous pattern of the government being used to target political opponents while they neglected their most basic responsibilities,” McCarthy said in a press release announcing his appointments.

The weaponization subcommittee was championed by members of the House Freedom Caucus who refused to vote for McCarthy (R-Calif.) to be House speaker until they were assured the panel’s composition would contain representation from their caucus.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, has been tasked by McCarthy to lead the new panel on weaponization.

Jordan has long criticized the alleged politicization of the FBI and the Justice Department, accusing the agencies of targeting conservatives. —>READ MORE HERE

Marjorie Taylor Greene Targets Pfizer After Gaining New Power:

Some Republicans in Congress are pushing for an investigation into Pfizer following the release of a video alleging that the pharmaceutical company is engineering “mutations” of COVID-19 for future monetary benefit.

Among them is Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is now a member of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. She called for an immediate investigation Tuesday in relation to the video published by Project Veritas.

The video was published Tuesday on social media channels like Twitter, where it has been viewed over 21 million times. It includes a conversation between an unidentified Project Veritas reporter and a Pfizer employee identified as “Jordon Trishton Walker, Director of Research and Development–Strategic Operations and mRNA Scientific Planning.”

“We’re exploring, like, you know how the virus keeps mutating?” the interviewee tells the Project Veritas counterpart. “Well, one of the things we’re exploring is like, why don’t we just mutate it ourselves, so we could focus on, create, preemptively develop new vaccines, right?”

The nearly 10-minute video is edited and only includes clips of the interviewee.

“The Pfizer Director…is caught on video discussing mutating the virus to change the vaccines & how Covid is a cash cow!” Greene tweeted. “Pfizer took BILLIONS of federal [dollars]. Our Covid Select Subcommittee MUST investigate!” —>READ MORE HERE
