ICE built files on more than 150 groups that register voters. It reviewed tens of millions of voter records. It discussed sending in undercover agents. Jim Jordan ran a subcommittee on the “weaponization of the federal government.” His committee’s output since this broke: nothing.

ICE probed hundreds of voter registration groups across the U.S.
The agency also contemplated deploying undercover agents to "initiate prosecutions" against the groups and "dismantle" them.

$20 million of Homeland Security money went to ads starring Donald Trump. Senate Majority Leader John Thune on those ads: they "shouldn't be paid for with taxpayer dollars." Trump's own Senate leader says it's over the line. James Comer still hasn't sent a letter.
