Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday announced the creation of a special House committee charged with overseeing the unprecedented, multitrillion-dollar federal response to the coronavirus pandemic. Pelosi has tapped Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.), the Democratic whip, to lead the bipartisan panel, which will be authorized "to examine all aspects of the federal response to the coronavirus and ensure the taxpayer's dollars are being wisely and efficiently spent." "The panel will root out waste, fraud and abuse; it will protect against price-gauging, profiteering and political favoritism," she told reporters on a press call. "The fact is, we do need transparency and accountability."

Too late Nancy we are on to you! You have lots to answer for and your judge friends will not be able to help you this time.

“The panel will root out waste, fraud and abuse; it will protect against price-gauging, profiteering and political favoritism,”

How rich is this! The most guilty of the guilty are going to “root out” their livelihoods? Might as well put the Zetas in charge of DEA

Gee...who was in charge of overseeing the boondoggle known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009? Amazing how this is only important when it happens under Trump.

I truly do not care for these people...at all.

I want a little transparency about which votes were bought by which cutouts and earmarks. McConnell snuck ten pages of text about sunscreen ingredients into the bill, the Kennedy center stuff has been well publicized, but there are dozens of other earmarks in there that deserve some explaination. Like: which congress critters had kids in the three named daycare centers that got earmarked funds?

What they consider waste, fraud, and abuse is any money that does not go to their or the Democrat National Committee’s bank account. A bigger bunch of thieves and liars than the Democrats never existed.

She’s going to try to make herself relevant by supervising the skipper to make sure he doesn’t give any of those dreaded right rudder commands to avoid the iceberg.

Just heard about this at the top of the hour on Fox News Radio. They portrayed Nancy as a wise, thoughtful leader, doing her best (in the face of GOP opposition) to help the little people. Propaganda at its best. Lord, I detest Fox News Radio.

They were so successful with the first fiasco, they decided to try again.

Now, the press corps has reason to ask those RIDICULOUS QUESTIONS THAT THEY ARE SO GOOD AT COMPILING.

I can hear them now...”are you sure Carter Page is not involved?...what do you tell the people who want to know about your dealing with the virus in 2014...how do you keep so patient with our leading questions???
