The Spin

Republican narrative

Jordan's revelation reinforces what we know about the Biden DOJ conducting the most tyrannical surveillance operation in American history. This weaponization of government against political opponents represents an authoritarian abuse of power that targeted elected Republicans across the country under the pretext of Jan. 6 investigations. This blatant assault on the separation of powers demands immediate congressional action.

Democratic narrative

Smith's investigation followed entirely lawful DOJ policies when obtaining phone records through proper grand jury subpoenas as part of investigating Trump's coup attempt. The records contained only basic call information and were obtained because Jordan was helping Trump pressure lawmakers to overturn the 2020 election results. This is standard investigative procedure rather than political persecution.
