Who would have guessed that House Republicans would use Special Counsel Robert Huh? report About President Joe Biden's handling of documents for political purposes? Attorney Huh determined that although Biden “intentionally kept and disclosed confidential material after taking office as vice president,” there was not enough evidence “to prove Mr. Biden’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.”
In the absence of any actionable wrongdoing in the handling of documents, Herr, a former Maryland attorney appointed by Donald Trump, did the next best thing he could do for his Republican colleagues: an idle attack on Biden's age.
Enter three House committee chairs and a new investigative method: Biden's fitness to be president. Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, and Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith. I sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland. On Monday evening, a request was made for both transcripts and video recordings of Biden's interviews, with a deadline of February 19 for responses.
Axios reports that Republicans are planning Heo-led hearings to focus on Biden's mental acuity, the national security implications of his handling of the documents (to lend legitimacy to the “investigation”), and his suitability for leadership. reported. “Someone might ask him whether Biden is unfit for leadership,” one leadership source told Axios. “Give him a chance to frame it.”
Think I'll do it? They might ask Heo about Biden's health? Could they use this opportunity to exploit Biden's age, his greatest political responsibility to voters, and run with it? They will definitely give Mr. Heo a microphone and put him in front of the camera. Traditional media will absolutely eat it up.
While Republicans are at it, they plan to track how Garland and the Justice Department conducted their investigation, Axios reports. Call it Comer and Jordan's revenge for the fact that Biden and his son Hunter couldn't get anything implicated from the Justice Department for their fake impeachment.
Jordan and Comer have been blessed with the leadership to do this. Speaker Mike Johnson, Majority Leader Steve Scalise, GOP Whip Tom Emmer and Conference Chair Elise Stefanik. issued a statement Heo's comments last week about Biden's age were called some of the “most shocking parts” of the report. “A man so incapable of being held accountable for mishandling classified information is clearly not fit for the Oval Office,” they said.
You might think the four of them would have more pressing issues to deal with, like the fact that another government shutdown is looming in a few weeks. Or maybe you can figure out how to do it. cleaning up a terrible mess Johnson created it with his incompetent leadership. Otherwise, you're just doing what's good for the American people.
In reality, you probably don't think so. Why would you change careers now?
