Jim Jordan, Andy Biggs, and different Home Republicans selected to disregard 1/6 Committee subpoenas, however now that they’re within the majority, they count on everybody to neglect that and concentrate on their bogus efforts to assault one other member of President Biden’s cupboard.
Since Home Republicans have failed of their effort to question Biden, they’re now going to assault different members of the administration. Legal professional Basic Garland is beneath assault as a result of the DOJ has refused to show over the audio of President Biden’s interview with Particular Counsel Robert Hur. The DOJ has refused as a result of they’ve already supplied Republicans the transcript, and they’re frightened concerning the audio of the interview being manipulated and used for political functions.
Rep. Swalwell (D-CA) was appropriate. Till Home Republicans begin honoring their subpoenas, they don’t have an inch of room to speak about anybody else.
