A Politically generated Waste of time and money……
The release of the final report from the House committees tasked with evaluating whether President Joe Biden should be impeached reinforces the downside to that power: It can also be deployed by bad-faith actors in an explicit effort to politically damage rivals.
News reports and comments from the House leaders driving the probe launched in September suggest that it had been in its final stages since late last year. Yet the final report wasn’t published until Monday morning — the day the Democratic convention gets underway in Chicago and the day on which Biden is scheduled to speak. To assume that this is a coincidence is to grant the benefit of the doubt to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-Mo.)….
…
If House leaders believed that Joe Biden deserved to be impeached over his son’s and brother’s business deals, they would impeach Joe Biden. Instead, having failed to convince even other Republicans of Biden’s culpability — and, critically, with Biden set to retire — they’ve just released their overheated report on the first day of the Democratic convention in a last-ditch effort to wring some political utility out of it.
History will not record that Comer and Jordan helped protect the American public from nefarious activity. It will, instead, remember this effort as a failed, ultimately useless attempt to protect the Republican Party and the electoral prospects of Donald Trump….
The New Harris/Walz effort by House Republicans…
Some House GOP lawmakers fear their party’s new investigations into Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz could potentially backfire politically.
Why it matters: House Republicans have unleashed a barrage of investigations targeting Harris and Walz in the run-up to the Democratic convention.
- One House Republican, speaking on the condition of anonymity to critique their party’s investigations, said the probes are “unnecessary.”
- “We have an election to win. Don’t make these people martyrs,” the lawmaker told Axios.
- Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) argued that investigating Harris and Walz is “fair” but that investigators need to be sure to “handle it professionally.”
Zoom in: House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) on Friday launched a probe into Walz, the governor of Minnesota, over his ties to China.
- Comer has also been investigating Harris for her role as the Biden administration’s point person on the sources of migration to the U.S.
- It’s not just the Oversight Committee: Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.), the chair of the House Armed Services subcommittee on military personnel, is investigating Walz for how he represented his record in the Army National Guard….
Comer is now “ investigating “Harris and Walz.
Expect a “ report” right around Halloween.
Fitting I would think.
