Kevin McCarthy outlines his GOP House agenda: Investigations and impeachments

Bugsy McGurk said:

For what, sane people might ask?

Oh, just because. That’s what the deranged GOP rabble want. No high crimes and misdemeanors required. Those just get ignored by Republicans, as we have seen with their reaction to Trump’s crimes. Basically, the GOP wants to pick up where they left off after the 9th Benghazi investigation - no meaningful legislative agenda. Just investigations for their own sake to satisfy their rabid cultists.

What's worse, they will probably start changing a lot of rules too...not allowing Democrats to call the witnesses they want to call, yielding more time to Republicans for questioning than the Democrats, stopping Democrat's line of questioning if those questions get in the way of the Republican's agenda, holding closed door committee meetings that the Democrats can't attend...turning the committee rules upside down.

It'll turn in to an absolute circus...

Are you afraid that he will have hearings produced for television by one of the networks? Are you afraid he will have one sided hearings that will make the CCP, the Fat Kid in NK and Putin proud? Just what the country needs another political persecution Soviet style.

Are you afraid the MSM will just repeat and run with whatever it is they tell them to say regardless of proof (Russian Collusion anyone?).....

What exactly are you afraid of that your outragesously corrupt party has NOT done already?

Can you identify any act by Biden, while in office, to favor anyone that his family had an interest in?

Would Trump pulling US troops out of Syrian villages to allow Turkey to do air strikes on the Kurds count? He was protecting a $3 million dollar payment from the Istanbul Trump Towers. How about rewarding foreign delegations for staying in his hotels or having US air force crew stay in his hotel in Scotland?

No, but Tony Bobulinski can.

Your Trump Turkey thing is bullshit and you sadly keep bringing it up. Meanwhile the current POTUS has sold access to the US Gov't since at least 2015.

With eyes on the speakership, McCarthy vows to restore Greene’s committee assignments
Aside from working to recapture the majority, McCarthy has also been campaigning to win the speaker’s gavel. And a key part of that strategy has been elevating potential critics and controversial Trump allies.

To that end, McCarthy has vowed to reinstate freshman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia to her committee assignments, despite being stripped of her assignments by Democrats last year for her inflammatory remarks.

Meanwhile, McCarthy reiterated his plans to boot Rep. Eric Swalwell, a California Democrat, from his seat on the House Intelligence Committee.

When asked if he has any restrictions about which committees Greene can serve, McCarthy – who will have a direct say in doling out those assignments – said “no.” Greene has previously told CNN she wants a seat on the House Oversight Committee, which will play a key role in GOP-led investigations in a majority.

“She’s going to have committees to serve on, just like every other member … Members request different committees and as we go through the steering committee, we’ll look at it,” he said. “She can put through the committees she wants, just like any other member in our conference that gets elected.”
