Republicans plan to launch investigation into Biden family 'influence peddling' HOURS after President delivers his State of the Union address
UK Daily Mail ^ | 02/02/2023 | Geoff Earle

House Republicans will target their investigatory machinery at Joe Biden's family just hours after the president delivers his State of the Union speech before a joint meeting of Congress next week.

The hearing, which will focus on Twitter suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story, is part of a wide-ranging probe that House Oversight panel chair Rep. James Comer has promised to probe alleged Biden family 'influence peddling.'

The investigation comes just as Biden tries to rally the nation with an applause-designed speech on prime time TV – hoping to sell his agenda in advance of a reelection campaign the White House says he intends to run. The hearing will get underway at a time when cable networks are usually rehashing the speech and giving it additional airtime.

It will involve testimony by top Twitter executives forced out by company head Elon Musk, and relates to explosive and sometimes tawdry allegations linked to the infamous laptop, which a Wilmington computer repair shop owner says he gave to a representative of former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, which led to bombshell reporting on its contents. Other probes plan to target 'weaponization' of government, with subpoenas of government officials in the offing while Biden is trying to prepare a budget and set the agenda for Washington.

I got an advance peak at Biden’s speech. Here’s a snippet:

“My fellow Americans, Hunter and I deny taking any foreign money in exchange for influence. And by that, I mean we don’t take as much money as we used to.”

I’m guessing this passage will be rewritten before too long.

There will be no repercussions for the biden crime family. Investigations are therefore worthless

The art of influence peddling and money laundering as carried out by US officials at every level is so grande it ensures its continuation. The institutions have convinced themselves that it’s the price in their hard work to save democracy. Omnibus spending bills do not detail spending across the agencies. They are merely given vast unimaginable amounts of money to spend with no oversight. That is not by accident, it’s by design.

It either becomes a Ceaucescau moment of grand proportion or gets continuously even worse.

Good Question.

After Biden’s first State of the Union, the GOP response started with ..

Joe Biden is a good man, but he’s wrong…

Turned it off right there.

The Scorpion unit that killed Trye Nichols was a product of grant funding. IOW, the government approved the units and provided the special funding for them. So the outrage should be shared with the government that made these murderous thug squads in the first place.

This is also part of a broader plan to create a national police force that makes the STASI look like cub scouts. When those feds do this kind of wet work the cameras will be off and Tyre Nichols will just disappear. It's coming folks. Check out the plans for the new expansion of the FBI. Twice the size of the Pentagon.

Kabuki theater on steroids with investigators & lawyers making millions. So tired of our elite & privileged government exempting the criminals who are in the club. Tired of the costly & worthless show. Wake me when the Biden's and hundreds like them are in prison .

Kevin McCarthy going to rip up Biden’s SOTU speech in front of the entire country ala Nanzi Pelosi? I don’t think so. An investigation into Biden after the SOTU seems trite by comparison ... let the whining & cries of “not fair” from the DemonRats begin ... falling on deaf ears as far as I am concerned.

I AGREE, announce the investigation with all kinds of fanfare RIGHT BEFORE the SOTU speech.

I may have to watch it just to see Joey Crappy Pants Mumble, and Fumble his way through. The amount of Word Salad spewed would be of Epic Proportions.

Should do it just a half hour before his speech, just to watch him crap himself and have to get Dr Jill to clean him up and push him out on stage.

Announce it before and put Elon in the front row. Then hack the teleprompter to play “Cuties”
