Americans’ constitutional civil liberties are being violated with increasingly dangerous frequency by irresponsible government officials who then deprive whistleblowing colleagues of their pay and positions, according to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio).

“Seven years of attacking Trump is scary enough, but what’s more frightening is any one of us could be next. In fact, it’s already started. Parents at school board meetings are terrorists; pro-life Catholics are extremists, and even journalists aren’t safe,” Jordan warned in his opening statement to the committee’s June 21 hearing to question special counsel John Durham on his report on the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation arising from the 2016 presidential campaign.
