Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced she was forming a special House panel to oversee the distribution of billions of federal dollars dedicated to the response to the coronavirus outbreak.

Pelosi, a California Democrat, said Thursday the panel would “prevent waste, fraud, and abuse” and would be bipartisan. She appointed the House majority whip, South Carolina Democrat James Clyburn, to oversee the panel.

“The committee will be empowered to examine all aspects of the federal response to coronavirus and to assure that the taxpayers' dollars are being wisely and efficiently spent to save lives, deliver relief, and benefit our economy,” Pelosi told reporters.

Pelosi said the House Select Committee on the Coronavirus Crisis, as she has named it, would examine billions of dollars in federal aid Congress has approved but also how “the private sector reacts to the funds they receive as well.”

Any doubts that the moves made in this "pandemic" are anything except political are slowly beginning to fade away.

I would love to know what former Fox anchor Trish Regan thinks of this development.

Sometimes you just don't know if you should laugh or cry.

You can BET the farm she and the others had already decided how the money was going to be laundered and who gets how much before she even announced it was going to happen.

Never Let a Crisis Go To Waste

In a related story, the foxes have created a committee to investigate what happened to the henhouse.

Doesn't cast a whole lot of doubt.

GOP congressmen should simply refuse to participate on this committee. Let it be Dems only which will remove any...however remote...facade of this being a "bipartisan" panel.

I don't think they'll even have to do that.  If they run this one like the last committee they'll just shut the Republicans out from participating at all from the start.

Right. Which is why the GOP congressmen should simply choose not to participate. Being there does nothing as they are simply ignored. The ONLY thing achieved by their presence is that it allows the Dems to pretend it’s a bipartisan work group.  Let’s just not give them that facade for once.

Democrats Create Select Committee to Investigate Trump’s Coronavirus Response

Joshua Caplan 2 Apr 2020

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday announced a new select House committee to review the Trump administration’s response to the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.

In addition to probing the Trump administration’s response efforts, the panel will review the management of the $2 trillion economic relief package, which is aimed at easing the financial strain caused by the outbreak. As part of the package, the government has set up a $500 billion corporate liquidity fund and will provide $377 billion in small business aide.

The committee will “examine all aspects of the federal response to the coronavirus and ensure the taxpayer’s dollars are being wisely and efficiently spent,” the speaker told reporters on a conference call.

“The panel will root out waste, fraud, and abuse; it will protect against price-gauging, profiteering, and political favoritism,” the speaker continued. “We need transparency and accountability.”

“Where there’s money there’s also frequently mischief,” she added.

The panel will be chaired by House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC).

The development comes after House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) announced that he will introduce legislation to create a “nonpartisan” commission to examine the government’s response to the coronavirus crisis.

“After Pearl Harbor and 9/11, we looked at what went wrong to learn from our mistakes,” Schiff, who led the House Democrats’ impeachment effort as the outbreak started to spread, tweeted on Wednesday. “Once we’ve recovered, we need a nonpartisan commission to review our response and how we can better prepare for the next pandemic.”

“I’m working on a bill to do that,” he added.

If Schiff for Brains wants to see where mistakes were made he needs to look in the mirror.

No kidding. This pr*ck was up to his googly eyes in impeachment proceedings while COVID-19 was making its way across the Pacific.

As hard as it is to believe the rats always manage to outdo themselves.

Foreign Relations and Intelligence committee members were embroiled in a fake impeachment "investigation" at the time this was just hitting our shores.  But they weren't able to investigate it or discuss how to tackle it and get ahead of it because ORANGE MAN BAD was more important.

Yeah, it reminds me of Jamie Gorelick being on the 9/11 Commission.

Oh, if only that were so.   Thanks to the sublime idiots in Amerika.... the radical left is very functional.   Way too functional.   I think it's past time to change that.

As a functioning cog in the machinery of govenment they are utterly worthless. They are nothing but insurgents now.

Uhhhhhhh.........

There WILL be "mischief" with these charlatans in charge.

[Cyber Liberty]

We got him now!  Impeach him again!  Harder!!

@mystery-ak


Uhhhhhhh.........

There WILL be "mischief" with these charlatans in charge.

Should read: " The committee will waste otherwise useful funding by picking through everything to try and find a way to use it against the President, and bury and incriminating stunts actions, statements, or proclamations made by the Chinese and Democrat politicians. We will make sure no opportunity to skim, gouge, profit from, or divert funds from the COVID-19 relief bill goes unused, and in the spirit of "transparency" will conduct these activities in midnight tribunals behind closed doors, only bringing any wrongdoing to the light if we can blame a Republican, especially Trump."

All done in the spirit of:

"You see, I got this thing here, and it's bleeping golden. I'm not giving it up for bleeping nothing...."

After all, who is going to investigate this stuff? FISA? The FBI? The DOJ?

Um, no Nance.  The Nat'l Emergency cancels YOUR coup.  Nice try.

How does this prevent "waste, fraud, and abuse," when it is waste, fraud, and abuse?
