The White House is readying itself for a slew of Republican-led congressional probes next year, beefing up its staff and reorienting itself to fight back against a determined opposition in the event that the GOP retakes one or both chambers of Congress after the midterm elections, according to The Washington Post.
Per individuals with knowledge of the efforts, senior White House officials are mapping out how departments — including the counsel's office – would be modified in order to handle the barrage of inquiries that would surely accompany Republicans holding committee gavels.
Since last year, Republicans have pledged to investigate the business affairs of Hunter Biden — the son of President Joe Biden — along with the military withdrawal from Afghanistan and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top expert on infectious diseases. Conservative Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio has repeatedly clashed with Fauci during congressional hearings and has called for a probe of the origins of COVID-19.
John Podesta — who served as White House chief of staff to President Bill Clinton from 1998 to 2001 and was a counselor to President Barack Obama from 2014 to 2015 — told The Post that a change in control of Congress would result in efforts to chip away at the administration.
"If one or both houses flip control, if the past is any indication, they will be faced with a slew of inquiries, much of which will be aimed at trying to do political damage to the president," he told the newspaper.

Heaven forbid the Democrats actually get some work done for us instead of just promoting their re-election efforts.
Stupid. GOP investigations are useless dog and pony shows that result in no reforms and nobody goes to jail or is punished or fired for their crimes. A complete waste of taxpayer money. They would be better off just working to cut regulations and get rid of all the wokesters in government.
The GOP is a big part of the problem.
If the GOP had ANY balls Biden would be impeached day 1..but knowing the GOP, they will say “We dont want to go after Biden politically it will hurt the country” blaa blaa blaa
The President can credibly claim, “I don’t remember.”
I’d tell Hunter to leave the country if he wants to avoid all that’s coming. Have him go to where we have no extradition arrangements. He’ll miss us and could only hope for the democrats to do well in ‘24. It would save us a lot of effort. He’s another Billy Carter/Libya coming around.
Same with all the illegals in our jails. With the wall built + a GOP WH I’d save a lot of money.
Yea they are calling it ‘Dark Maga’.
How about calling it corruption accountability.
‘investigations’??
Seriously? I mean these ‘Republicans’ are too compromised themselves to ‘investigate’ anything!!
Why bother?
Just limit the budget for the white house to
hospitality and security staff only.
let Democrats pay for their own lawyers, liars, and secretaries.
Don’t investigate what we already see to be true. Democrats are out to destroy America.
Our government bodies needs to stop weaponizing it’s departments as weapons against their opponets and run the country as they’re paid to do.
Prepare the smoke and mirrors.
Time for increased gas lighting and mass media bs.
Laughable moment
Sure hope the republicans realize that sort of thing works both ways.
Prepare all you want, *IF* we manage to get some real principled representatives in office, the rats that would be Biden’s support group will scurry down the mooring lines and leave Biden to defend himself.
Teraditto.
But we must have vengeance against the Demonrats for the slings and arrows suffered by President Trump! (sarcasm --- or not)
Yet working to achieve a smaller, fiscally responsible, and constitutional government might be a good first step .
preparing for WHAT???
FJB et.al. is clean as the driven snow!!!
Yeah, brand new invention. They may even try to impeach him. Twice.
If an Administration does what it is constitutionally supposed to do they wouldn’t have to worry about none of this stuff...
But once again we are now observing fraud, waste and abuse because they are spending lots of money to counter the possibility and in prep they basically write up cases and defenses with extra staff dollars. How does that even begin to be considered good governmental practices?
Ever notice how Democrats always “gain control,” or “re-take the majority,” but Republicans “SEIZE CONTROL.” When Republicans win free and fair elections, they are said to have “seized” control.
What the article is actually referring to is a Clintonesque desperate destruction of the evidence. It's pretty much standard procedure by now.
