Senate GOP eyes Hunter Biden, Fauci probes after midterms

[AZProgressive]

Hunter Biden. Anthony Fauci. Afghanistan. The border.

As Senate Republicans feel increasingly bullish about November, when 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 flips 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.

(Snip)

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

1. Failing to investigate the trump spawn was a huge mistake

They should be in jail.

But we don’t go after presidents kids.

They do. Even when it is nonsense.

Or especially because it is nonsense.

2. Christ these assholes are petulant, childish, boring and just goddamned evil. I hate them all.

[Pobeka]

3. Why are they feeling bullish -- massive suppression of DEM voters. GOTV will need $$$$$ this year!

[Freethinker65]

4. Senate should leave that nonsense to the House.

24/7 coverage of Hunter Biden with coked up commentary by Trump Jr. will not do them any favors.
Chances are Biden won't seek re-election anyway.

Going after Fauci is a bad idea. He always makes idiots with their thought to be gotcha questions look like ignorant fools.

This is just posturing to gin up their rabid voting base. Independents are sick of it.

5. The GOP has really become a party of deranged, delusional and ugly people. They don't give a damn

about the country or the people.

7. God Forbid

They actually try their hand at improving the lives of ordinary Americans… I’m sure they wouldn’t even know where to start.

[Chainfire]

8. I suspect that they will open new investigations into the "stolen election" too.

I am thinking that more recounts will be in order....If the Fascist bastards get their greasy fingers on power again, we can forget any American justice. It will be kangaroo courts and Western justice. If that happens the government, the laws and the courts will have lost any legitimacy. We will just have to learn how to behave in a society where the rich and powerful are above the law. In fact, I am not sure that we aren't already there.
