Townhall | David Harsanyi:
As a tactical concern, the House GOP’s decision to open an investigation into Biden family corruption is questionable. It promises a limited political return. It would serve Republicans, and the country, far better if the House focused on a hyper-politicized Justice Department that targets the political opposition, labels concerned parents “domestic terrorists” and ignores violence aimed at pregnancy centers, for starters.
None of that, however, means there isn’t sufficient circumstantial evidence suggesting President Joe Biden not only lied about knowing his son was favor-trading on the family name with corrupt autocracies but that he was a beneficiary of those business dealings. Indeed, precedent says we Republicans have a duty to “democracy” to investigate. Yet Greg Sargent over at The Washington Post warns: “If Republicans can obliterate the distinction between congressional investigations done in good faith and ones that weaponize the process in bad faith, they win.”
You see, only Democrats can launch investigations in “good faith.”
Pathological partisanship can lead to cosmic shamelessness. And you almost have to admire the chutzpah. These are the very same people who spent years championing one of the most unethical investigations in American history. We now know that Russia’s “collusion” hysteria was predicated on partisan opposition research and disinformation meant to delegitimize the 2016 election. There was a total of zero indictments related to the 2016 election “collusion.” So rickety was the evidence that guardians of our sacred norms never even tried to impeach former President Donald Trump over this alleged sedition. I’ll spare you the slew of blown one-source anonymous “scoops” spread by major media organizations in concert with the FBI and Democratic Party. Sargent highlighted them all. MORE
A probe may be legit but lets keep in mind that in DC the outcomes can be inexplicable.
Does not having intent ring a bell?
Confidence is low. Same as it ever was…
OK MCCARTHY, TIME TO PROVE YOU’RE GOOD FOR YOUR WORD AND NOT JUST ANOTHER TALKING RINO
NEED TO GO FOR THE KILL SHOT, GO AFTER THE DEMOCRATS IN THE SAME WAY THEY WENT AFTER TRUMP
ALL IS ON THE LINE
“It promises a limited political return.”
I think that would depend on what’s disclosed, and the goods on the Biden’s with no wiggle room for them. We’ve seen the juicy prostitute meth stuff, didn’t phase anyone. Who took up the spilled milk among the Republicans to go after the Biden’s when the laptop showed up. Trump, Rudy Giuliani, and a few podcasters. This has been ongoing for 2 years now – I think it’s scandalous to the point where Biden must resign or be impeached. Oh, and the FBI was in on the coverup. I think the Republicans have more than the author thinks for political gain. I’d like to have a big grin on my face when Humper and Pedo Joe go to jail. Wishful thinking….
If the probe and its follow through isn’t legit, the GOP will soon cease to be legit.
The whole Biden* crime family should be hung out to dry.
Aaaaaaaaaaannnnnnd we all know Hunter “does probes”… amongst other things!
More political Kabuki theatre. The GOP is NOT going to actually do a damn thing about the Biden Family Crime syndicate anymore than they did a damn thing about the Clinton Crime Cabal. It’s all for SHOW. Nothing more.
I remember when they “probed” GWB’s girls Lerner and Clinton! What happened? #$%!@!?%^&*
Kev is a “Bush Republican” it’l be another “Tempest in a tea pot.”!!#$%^
