 House GOP to go on offense on investigations
by Mychael Schnell - 06/10/24 6:00 AM ET

House Republicans are leaning into their investigations this week, holding a key floor vote and high-profile hearing as they look to go on offense to contrast the ongoing legal entanglements surrounding former President Trump.

The lower chamber is set to vote on holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress, as Republicans spar with the Justice Department over the audio recordings of President Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur. A pair of panels advanced contempt resolutions last month, but the vote was delayed as it remained unclear if Republicans had enough support to penalize the top law enforcement officer.

Also this week, the House Judiciary Committee is set to hold a hearing on the Manhattan District Attorney’s office following former President Trump’s conviction in the New York hush money trial. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg — whose presence has been requested — however, is unable to sit for a hearing that day, leaving the path forward uncertain for the GOP-led panel.

On the other side of the Capitol, the Senate is set to vote on a bill to protect access to in vitro fertilization, the latest move by Democrats to put a spotlight on women’s reproductive rights ahead of the November elections.

And former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) is set to appear before a House panel behind closed doors this week to testify about his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Empire State.

Um, aren't investigations supposed to be offense to begin with?

Lemme guess, these investigations to nowhere will be different than past investigations to nowhere.

These investigations are exercises in creating media fodder for the MAGA media echo-chamber at the expense of their day job - performing the business of ALL the People.

How's that FY2025 Budget coming along?  Will it have budget cuts?  Will it be passed on time, by October 1st?

The poster meme boy of the GOP is Trey Gowdy in the areas of investigations.

His mishandling of Hitlerly's investigation was beyond botched, and somehow rigged when the rubber met the road.  I expect nothing more from these GOP wet noodled enuchs.

Every time I see him on Fox, I wanna puke.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
