Lina Khan Shows Hypocrisy Even by DC Standards

Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan recently wrote House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan accusing the Committee of trying to intimidate FTC staff. Jordan has emailed FTC staffers asking that they submit to questions regarding the Committee’s investigation of Khan’s mismanagement of the Commission. Khan says this is inappropriate because many of the staffers have retained counsel to assist them with matters relating to the investigation. However, since most of those targeted are already lawyers themselves, they should be perfectly able to refer the Committee’s message to an attorney.
