President Joe Biden’s use of government institutions under his authority to persecute anyone who disagrees with his politics and beliefs is no longer a secret. A history of biased law enforcement by the Department of Justice includes targeting parents at school board meetings, attacking pro-life groups, and pretending to be unaware of the illegal intimidation of Supreme Court justices.
Biden has shown no indication that he would stop using the federal government to aid his supporters and penalize his opponents after two years in power and with Republicans in the next Congress vowing to undertake more monitoring. Katie reported this week that at his post-midterm news conference, Biden made some strange comments about Elon Musk.
Biden said in an interview on Wednesday, “I think Elon Musk’s collaboration and/or technological relationships with other nations are worthy of looking into. “I’m not alleging he’s doing anything criminal, but I feel it’s worth examining,” President Joe Biden was recently reported as saying. Asked how exactly he may look into Musk’s finances, Biden said, “there are thousands of choices.”
At a White House briefing on Thursday, the subject came up again, this time with more details about the anticipated scrutiny the Biden administration is applying to Musk. Since “well, you heard the President yesterday,” as NSA Director Jake Sullivan put it, “and the CFIUS process is the standard mechanism by which transactions that potentially have a national security nexus get assessed,” the President will have to make any further remarks on the topic from the podium.
When it comes to foreign investments in the United States, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) is more than simply another faceless bureaucracy inside the Treasury Department. Numerous additional government departments, including the Department of Justice, are represented on the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS).
After Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre returned to the platform on Thursday, David Spunt of Fox News brought up the DOJ’s ties and participation with CFIUS. He challenged President Joe Biden on his assertion of an “independent” Department of Justice while he repeatedly called for a committee that would include DOJ officials to investigate Elon Musk’s business operations.
After Spunt criticized what appeared to be an admission by the administration that CFIUS, including DOJ leadership, was taking cues from Biden, Jean-Pierre was asked directly, “You’ve said several times from this perch right here that the White House wants to remain independent from the Justice Department.” CFIUS is comprised of individuals from the Treasury and Justice departments. When President Joe Biden said that Elon Musk is “worthy of being looked at,” Spunt shot back that Trump has been criticized in the past for addressing the Department of Justice and investigating individuals in relation to January 6th subpoenas.

Give me your best guess as to what more she could have included. Biden said on Wednesday that he thought the finances of Elon Musk should be investigated. Thursday, Biden’s NSA sent the probe to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). The United States Attorney General sits on the government’s Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. Even now, President Biden maintains that the White House and the Department of Justice are separate entities. It’s a terrible idea, and conservatives’ worst fears will be realized if Jean-response Pierre backs it.
Biden should proceed with caution when requesting that the DOJ investigate his political opponents’ financial dealings. Hunter Biden’s connections to nations like Ukraine and China are likely to be at the forefront of Republican oversight committees’ investigations if they win power in the House in the new year.
