Senate GOP eyes Hunter Biden, Fauci probes after midterms
By Jordain Carney - 03/20/22 06:00 AM EDT

Hunter Biden. Anthony Fauci.  Afghanistan. The border.

As Senate Republicans feel increasingly bullish about November, where they are fighting to regain control of Congress, they are floating using a new majority to dig into President Biden and his administration starting in 2023.

The potential probes underscore both the headaches awaiting Democrats if the House or Senate flip heading into 2024, but also the shifting power dynamics within the Senate GOP conference where a stream of retirements of more pragmatic-minded senators is elevating newer, more combative Republicans.


“I’m sure there will be plenty of ingenious individuals thinking about what to do on those committees,” said Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.).

Braun, while noting he didn’t have a pet investigation, pointed to GOP Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) as two examples of GOP senators who could have “some real interest in looking into stuff that has not been attended to.”

Johnson, if he wins his reelection bid in November, is poised to chair the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee’s permanent subcommittee on investigations. Johnson is prevented because of term limits from chairing the full committee again, but the subcommittee gavel comes with a crucial element: subpoena authority.

Asked if there were overlooked issues that he would want to probe, Johnson appeared eager to dig in.

“Like everything?” he told The Hill. “It’s like a mosquito in a nudist colony, it’s a target rich environment.”

Just keep former congressman Trey Gowdy a 1000 miles away from it.

I do like the idea of Rand Paul leading the Fauxci investigation.   These two truly and genuinely hate each other, and Paul would stop at nothing to bring this charlatan down in a flaming crash.

First thing to happen if we take back the house will be Fauci announcing his immediate retirement and Biden will hang a medal on him. IF they manage to convict him of anything in hearings Biden will pardon him and assure Dr. Death lives happily on with full benefits and fawning socialist media giving him countless interviews where he will play the I am persecuted victim card. Oh then CNN, MSNBC or someone will give him a job to attack real science.

For the GOP voting base and the GOP to assume that they will take back the Senate or the House is very foolish.

How about they plan on how they are going to take back some power and what they are going to do to ensure they keep it.

Ultimately, the power belongs to the people!

[LMAO]

There is a danger that they could end up making the likes of Dr. Fauci a martyr

Promises,promises.

As usual,they promise a good game,but at the last moment they will be offered something they want if they will cave,and they WILL cave.

Especially if McConnell is still around.

Especially if McConnell is still around.

If McConnell is still GOP leader in 2024, we seriously need a 3rd party revolt.
