Now that the Mueller Investigation is over, Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio is ready to start holding people accountable. Jordan is correct when he says there are millions of Americans who want to see people held responsible.
Jordan commented on this during a segment of the Neil Cavuto show.
FOX News reports:
Jim Jordan: American people want accountability for people who started Russia investigation
Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, called on Saturday for Congress to look into the origins of the Russia investigation, which he said started on a “false premise.”
Jordan, who serves as ranking member on the House Oversight Committee, told Fox News’ Neil Cavuto that Americans sensed Washington had a double standard that allowed elected officials to avoid punishment for wrongdoing.
“They do want people who launched this investigation, on a false premise, they do want them held accountable,” he said on “Cavuto Live.”
He pointed to the infamous Steele dossier which informed the FBI’s suspicions surrounding President Donald Trump and the Russian government.
“You can’t have the FBI using one party’s opposition research document to launch an investigation and spy on the other party’s campaign,” he said.

“We know that took place and we do need to get to the bottom of that because it’s never supposed to happen in this country.” Jordan was referring to former President Barack Obama’s administration surveilling then-candidate Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign out of its concern over potential ties to Russia.

Here’s a recent Twitter thread from Jordan:
Democrat members of Congress should take a deep breath and read the Special Counsel’s report before jumping to conclusions.
The Attorney General concluded what we long suspected. No collusion. No obstruction. (1/5)

It would be a miscarriage of justice to use cherry-picked bits of information from the report to sow further divisiveness and spread conspiracies that serve only to undermine our democratic institutions. (2/5)

One thing, however, is clear with the release of the report today: this sad chapter of American history is behind us.
It’s time to turn back to the people’s work of improving the efficiency, economy, and effectiveness of how their tax dollars are spent. (3/5)

Despite the Special Counsel’s findings, it seems nothing will stop Democrats in Congress from trying to get the President at all costs.
We just learned this week that they have Memoranda of Understanding to coordinate their attacks. (4/5)

It would be a shame for the onslaught of misguided politicized investigations to continue.
The American people expect more from those who represent them in Washington. (5/5)

Amen to that, Jim.
