PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Florida — House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) told Breitbart News exclusively in an interview that House Republicans have sent dozens of “preservation notices” across the federal government to agencies and departments throughout Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration ordering them to preserve documents in anticipation of eventual subpoenas from House Republicans after the 2022 midterm elections. What’s more, McCarthy said he is tasking every House committee with fully engaging in oversight matters — rather than just running everything through the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform — broadening the use of the levers of congressional authority to engage in a massive and unprecedented effort to rein in the Biden administration’s waste, fraud, and abuse of power.
“First we’re focused on the biggest issue drivers because we want to win elections,” McCarthy told Breitbart News. “Inflation, that’s the number one and we’re beating them by more than 20 points, crime, the border, fentanyl, energy independence, and we’re going to put that all in the Commitment to America. But what we’re also going to have too is our Accountability Project. So, every single committee has an oversight subcommittee. Most people think when you come to Congress if you want to do oversight you go to the Oversight Committee. No — every committee has one.”
McCarthy’s interview, at the House GOP retreat here at the Marriott at Sawgrass just outside Jacksonville where weeks ago pro golfers competed in the TPC (The Players Championship) tournament, focused heavily on oversight preparation that Republicans are planning for if and when they retake the U.S. House majority. Republicans are five seats away from a majority, and with Biden’s approval rating tanking and generic ballot polling showing a consistent GOP lead over Democrats,...

How many Raids?
Or it’s fake Sessions / Rosenstein / Huber stuff

This is leadership. With a capital L.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
The only people who get into leadership in the GOP are Bush Leaguers like Liz Cheney.
We know what happens after Republicans win elections.
I don’t trust McCarthy as far as I can throw him. Bet’cha this is just more kabuki theater.
McCarthy is just putting on a show. The government is already legally obligated to preserve official correspondence.
And as the committee minority, these requests mean absolutely zip from a legal standpoint. You can’t conduct business on behalf of any committee unless you have the majority agree with you.
“Sounds more like alerting them to what to shred”
My first thought.
But Dozens?
Yes.
You point out how empty this is.
More controlled opposition. It’s all we’ve ever seen from the Republican side. All sound and fury signifying nothing.
“ Sounds more like alerting them to what to shred. ”
Exactly - he’s tipping them off since we all know nothing but nothing stops a libtard from destroying evidence even with a hammer if need be 🤪
Knowing Democrats, they’ll destroy anything listed.
Roger that.
After widespread and felonious complicity in the theft of a national election, those 'notices' won't stop squat.
/.02
He won’t say anything about Jan. 6th prisoners and the stolen Election. I don’t believe him.
Hide the WMD.
Good post.
This is pandering with a capital P. If, and that’s a big if, they actually produce anything more than YouTube videos I will gladly eat my words. Republicans are always tough when they are out of power.
there may be another reaction to these notices: it may stop their questionable activities.
Yep! Sounds like a solid plan. Just tell your opposition what you intend on doing if you win. can’t possibly make this crap up, sheesh.
