Timeline for GOP's Obama probe report slips as chairman eyes subpoenas (Hunter Biden)
The Hill ^ | 07 29 2020 | Jordain Carney

The timeline for a report on a GOP investigation into the Obama administration and Hunter Biden, the son of presumptive Democdratic nominee Joe Biden, is slipping, with a top Senate chairman predicting he will soon issue subpoenas.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), the chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, told The Hill on Wednesday that he now wants to release the interim report by mid-September, citing difficulty in setting up interviews.

"I don't see a report coming out here before August. I think a lot of interviews are going to be conducted in August," Johnson said, about the timeline for the report. "We've kind of set a target date for September 15. And I've said 'okay guys that has to be hard and fast.'"

The timeline is a shift from last month when Johnson said he had told staff he wanted to release the report before the August recess, which is scheduled to start on August 7, "as incomplete as it is."

“At some point in time we’ve got [to say,] ‘OK, here’s what we’ve got. Here’s the remaining questions that need to be answered,'" Johnson said at the time.

Johnson and Grassley began closed-door depositions last week but Johnson hinted on Wednesday that he will soon be issuing subpoenas, though he declined to specify a specific timeline or whom will be targeted.

Smokescreen to say they did something.

They’ve ran out the clock for 3.5 yrs.

Biden admitted on Video to Felonies a long time ago.

This is so obvious

What’s going on here is Johnson is punting past the September 1st deadline for preelection prosecutions. The GOP Senate has no interest supporting the “Trump” DOJ there.

...citing difficulty in setting up interviews.

Is Johnson actually dumb enough to believe that any of the people he subpoenas will show up?

There’s a new tick-tock I’m hearing, and it ain’t portending the unraveling of the truth about the ‘Russia probe’ and deep state indictments.

It’s the tick-tock of an alarm clock set to go off on November 4th. Hope to God I’m wrong, but I fear an election loss, whether legitimate or stolen.

Boom! There will be much celebration on their ultimate escape. Way to go Republicans.

Exactly. The proof is in the pudding .The Dems launched an impeached hoax against POTUS in months. The GOP has known for THREE YEARS the FBI lied about Fisa. And what did they do? Nothing.

Where there is will, there is a way...

Congressional hearings have been a farce for a long time.

I can’t think of one that amounted to anything.

STALL, STALL, STALL, and run out the clock. Same thing with Durham. All that’s missing is Trey Gowdy strutting around pontificating.
