Democratic-allied groups have unleashed an aggressive opposition research operation to dig up unflattering accusations against House Republicans investigating President Biden, his family and his administration.
The effort, designed to discredit and distract from the congressional investigations targeting Mr. Biden, was launched Monday with recycled accusations from years ago against the Republicans who are poised to lead the inquiries: Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio and James Comer of Kentucky.
One of the three organizations intent on protecting Mr. Biden by going on the offensive against the Republicans in the next Congress is Facts First. The group’s leader is David Brock, a former self-described “right-wing hit man” who went on to become a high-profile left-wing political operative within the Democratic Party.

Facts First spokesman Eddie Vale told The Washington Times that the opposition research “is not geared towards pushing [the lawmakers] out of Congress before ’24 but for pushing back on the hypocrisy of those doing the investigations and/or the Republican leadership for their choices.”

Mr. Brock said his group will have a massive bank account to wage this operation until the next election cycle.
He told NBC News that Facts First would likely have a $10 million budget over a two-year period and that he launched the organization with former Republican Rep. David Jolly, who opposed Donald Trump, and veteran Democratic strategist Maria Cardona.
Kyle Herrig, executive director of the Congressional Integrity Project, said his group’s intentions are not about discrediting the investigators but about discrediting the investigations.

David Bossie, a former Trump campaign adviser, told The Times that Republican lawmakers and staffers are all targets. He was a congressional staffer in the 1990s who worked on investigations into the Clintons’ finances, including Whitewater and the Clinton campaign’s fundraising practices.

Demand their financial, phone, and any other relevant records, post them for all to see. Haul them in for testimony, accuse them of obstruction, put 'em in jail if they don't show.
It was good enough for the Rats.
