House Republican members have threatened to investigate Biden and elements of his administration since early in his presidency. But only starting in January, following their projected retaking of the House majority on Wednesday, will they have the ability to set the agenda for the House and its committees. Asked about potential Republican investigations, McCarthy made reference to the origins of the Covid-19 virus; the Biden administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan; Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ job performance; and whether there could be terrorists coming across the border. “What do they have planned? Who are they talking to, and why are they here? That is just the start,” McCarthy said of possible investigations on undocumented immigrants.
Kevin McCarthy, a career-long political invertebrate on his best days, will owe his potential speakership to members of this reptile farm executive committee. Besides, Republicans have no worthwhile policy proposals to speak of, and the ones of which they are most enamored will never get through a Democratic Senate, much less that Senate's overriding of a presidential veto. The snipe hunters know that, McCarthy knows it. Every single Democrat knows it.
So Jordan likely will get the gavel on the Judiciary committee, and Comer likely will get the gavel on Oversight, and the circus will come to town with dancing bears and brass bands.
Here's Comer at Thursday's press conference:
We also found plans based in the United States where the Biden family swindled investors of hundreds of thousands of dollars, all with Joe Biden's participation and knowledge. In 2019, Shortly after announcing his campaign for President, Joe Biden told the American people he had nothing to do with and never had conversations with his family about their business dealings. That was a lie. Whistleblowers described President Biden as "chairman of the board" for these businesses. He personally participated in meetings and phone calls. Documents show that he was a partner with access to an office. To be clear, Joe Biden is "the big guy." This evidence raises troubling questions about whether President Biden is a national security risk and about whether he is compromised by foreign governments.
And here's Jordan, at that same hootenanny:
And that's why we issued 1,000-page report two weeks ago that talked about— So I've been in Congress a few years now. I've never seen anything like it. [Ed. Note: Those 1,000 pages contained 983 pages that reproduced emails between the snipe hunters.] Fourteen agents come talk to us while we're in the minority about how political that place [the FBI] has become. Talking about the "purging" going—these are terms they use, not we...purging going on, purging of agents, the pressure to categorize cases in a political fashion, the putting the "threat" tag label on moms and dads who show up at school board meetings. We know of over two dozen parents who were investigated. No one charged, but think of the chilling impact that has. You show up at some parent's home. You talk to him because she's in the group Moms for Liberty, as an example. You think about the chilling impact that has on other parents. So that's what we're interested in getting to the bottom of, and the only way you can hold people accountable and hopefully stop the behavior is to present it to the country. That's what we gotta do. So we're committed to doing it in an aggressive fashion, but in a way that's consistent with the Constitution.
It will be fascinating to see how many of these whistleblowers actually show up to put their hands on the Bible and their asses at risk of perjury. But anyone who saw the likes of Comer and especially Jordan defend the criminal presidency of El Caudillo del Mar-A-Lago through two impeachment proceedings knows that in the hands of these two worthies, the Constitution is approximately as safe as it would be in an Ohio State shower room.
