(CNN)Members of the far right are already agitating to launch impeachment proceedings against President Joe Biden if the GOP is in power in Congress next year. Some leading Republicans want to spotlight former President Donald Trump's false claims of voter fraud. And key House and Senate Republicans are vowing to probe the security failures surrounding last year's January 6 attack on the US Capitol -- and turn the attention to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
With Republicans on the cusp of taking back the House and Senate, the GOP is plotting an onslaught of investigations into the Biden administration and promising to make the final two years of Biden's first term in office as painful as possible for Democrats in the run-up to 2024.
Those headaches could come in the form of subpoenas, the possible creation of select committees and high-profile hearings on issues ranging from the origins of the coronavirus pandemic to hearing from the President's son, Hunter.
Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, the top Republican on the House Oversight Committee, said he fully anticipates that Hunter Biden will testify before the committee if Republicans are in charge.

(6,011 posts)but I think things are going to go differently this time. People are getting tired of the antics of many in the House GOP.
Also, as stuff comes out of the 1-6 Committee, it won't be doing the GOP any favors. I think it will hurt them. I still believe that there were House members involved in the attack in one way or another.
If this is so, the Committee likely already has info on who and how. This is why there's so much resistance from the right. There are smoking guns.

Second, a few House and Senate seats flipped to the Democrats.
