Congressional Hearings -- Do Them Right or Not at All

Despite Kevin McCarthy's uniparty aspirations, a Republican House must begin investigating the Biden administration.

At the Federalist, Jordan Boyd offers up a proposed agenda for the new House of Representatives. The Republicans have won a majority. How great is still to be determined. Officially the count is 218, but Lauren Boebert’s opposition, Adam Frisch, conceded. If the certification matches the ballot count that would make the total 219, and they are still counting two districts in California in which the Republican candidates are leading so the count may be as high as 221.Certification of results in at least one county in Arizona are being held up pending examination of the voting machines, and other counties may follow. So the final totals the Republican majority are still not known.

Boyd begins:

GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy already released an agenda he thinks Republicans should execute come 2023, but his legislative desires for a red House are too innocuous and unlikely to survive a Democrat Senate and presidency anyway.

SNIP

Ryan Salame, an executive at the now-crashed cryptocurrency outfit FTX, donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to funds controlled by McCarthy and allied groups that used that money to advance his candidacy as speaker.

Armed with corrupt FTX crypto money, Kevin McCarthy spent the 2022 midterms picking winners and losers, with his long-term speakership fantasies at the top of his agenda.

America First candidates and others who couldn’t be controlled by the establishment or, more importantly, couldn’t be bribed into supporting McCarthy for speaker, were sold down the river.

The seats they were fighting for were surrendered to Democrats, and conservatives “in the know” spoke of a “power-sharing” agreement between McCarthy and Democrat leadership, which now appears to be materializing.

Assuming, for the sake of discussion, Republicans can overcome McCarthy and his presumed uniparty aspirations, Boyd argues that the limitations on legislative ability and to keep the promises the party made to voters it must “punish the Biden bureaucracy and its Democrat allies for creating endless crises.”

Boyd’s agenda is the following, not necessarily in the order he ranked them:

-Impeach Joe Biden

-Impeach Merrick Garland. Impeachment is something McCarthy said earlier he would not want to start with. I hope he will change his mind, because I think it essential.

-Defund the FBI >p? -Disband the J6 Committee

-Probe the Biden family business

-Subpoena COVID Tyrants -- Anthony Fauci, Deborah Birx, former CDC Director Robert Redfield “who lied about the origins, research, effects and mitigation of COVID-19.”(In this regard we have learned that the odious FTX crowdfunded studies “through TOGETHER Trial falsely claiming hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin weren’t effective Covid treatments.”)

-Impeach Myorkas and others over failures to secure the border.

Endless useless hearings that will end and signify nothing because no one will do a thing about wrong doing.

I’m seeing 3 California House districts that haven’t been called, all have Republicans in the lead. CA-3, CA-13, CA-22 (and yeah, 22 is a never Trumper). Anyway, looks like at least a possiblity Repubs end up with 222 seats assuming Boebert wins the recount and those 3 California districts all go Repub.

[Leep]

Do not disband the J6 committee.
Expand it.
Ask real questions.
Grill Nancy Pelosi.
Ask her why security was so lax?

I’d even make an off handed comment and say, madam ex-speaker..you seem to have difficulty with security..here and at home.

[SharpRightTurn]

McCarthy-part of the opposition. He’s not on our side.

[no-to-illegals]

After each Hearing all participants will meet for drinks at the congressional bar while laughing about fooling the People

Relative to Dominion, they will not release the code (how it is programed) to their voting machines. They say, “trust us.” I do not trust them. If the code is not examined but a neutral outsider, the machines are not to be trusted. You can code it to do anything you want.

Would you consider buying a car if the dealership refused to tell you how much it costs? Would you put your money in a bank that refused to let outside auditors examine the books as required?

Dominion may be honest. I do not think they are.

[Twotone]

I hope the FTX debacle results in everyone who received “donations” being required to give them back. Let’s see McCarthy deal with THAT.

[wny]

Republicans will accomplish absolutely nothing.

Again.

Frist and foremost, the Repubs should release ALL of these January 6th political prisoners.

That needs to be done day one, and not a dime for the DOJ until they are all released.

Come December Nancy will send all the depositions, phone records, emails, etc. from the J6 to the Special Counsel in order to deny the Republicans the ability to see the “evidence” and expose the lies in these documents. That is one of the reasons that Garland appointed a Special Counsel. Once the document are in the SC hands, (and no copies are retained by the committee), then the SC will claim that they are part of the investigation and can not be released to the house and will not comply with any subpoenas for them. The courts will have a dilemma because the claim that they are potential evidence in an ongoing criminal investigation will likely override the House’s right to their own property.
