He has also started holding regular training sessions for members and staff. One session held earlier this summer for House GOP attorneys, titled “Oversight Education Series: Investigations 101,” laid out strategies for how such probes should be run.
Just before leaving for August recess, McCarthy declined to say whether investigating the results of the 2020 election was on his oversight agenda, instead listing the economy, cost of living, price of gasoline, origins of the coronavirus and a handful of other items as investigative priorities if the GOP regains the majority. McCarthy also has been reticent to throw his support behind a counter-probe of the House select committee investigating Jan.
“The Steering Committee makes nearly all decisions on committee assignments for House Republicans, but its makeup does not reflect all House Republicans, and instead it is packed with party leaders and their close allies,” a memo outlining the proposal reads. “As a result, decisions are made based on who is loyal to leadership and who delivers the most fundraising — not who is best qualified.
outspoken parents who protested coronavirus policies at school board meetings and whether the Justice Department has padded the number of domestic violent extremism cases. Jordan’s committee is also likely to have jurisdiction over the potential impeachment of Mayorkas and some of the most important investigative priorities for the party.
“This Republican obsession with Hunter Biden is a Fox News talking point,” said a Democratic aide who works on investigations and spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive matter. “Unlike former president Trump and his family, who used their senior White House positions to advance their own financial interests — and whom Republicans have blindly defended — Hunter Biden is a private citizen who is not a member of the administration.
They aren’t winning. Pelosi told you repeatedly.
We’ll have Federal ban on same sex marriage and Federal ban on abortion. Maybe we’ll have a reversal of women’s right to vote.
It’ll be like Benghazi. They will find nothing, close the investigation, yet millions of stupid Republicans years later will STILL think they found Joe guilty.
😂
Because they have to find something to fill their days. Not like they have any plans to make life better, easier, safer, or healthier for the citizens they represent.
No plans or ideas other than revenge and having nothing to go on to get the revenge. Just corrupt people
That's there legislative pitch? So they have no actual plans to govern? Ridiculous
GOPLiesAboutEverything
The USA has paid a terrible price by President Trump‘s failure to be reelected trust me it’s true.
They want a circus where nothing gets done but feeding the beast with fear and anger. Cowardly Kev will never be Speaker.
They can’t seriously think they’ll take control of the house with the nonsense they’re pulling right now.
It doesn’t look good for the GQP taking over the majority in the House.
It's going to be fun to watch. Of course the media/Democrats/left will declare the GOP investigations political witch hunts and they'll ignore them. It's all very predictable.
That would be an error.
Maybe they'll finish Trump's Wall, LOL! VoteBlueToSaveDemocracy
Well don't blame the players.. blame the game. . Democrats started it.
Anyone noticed that the Republican politicians do absolutely NOTHING for their over blown wages? When they are not in power they sit on their hands & spout nonsense & when they are in power they conjure up BS to distract the citizens that they are not doing anything for them.
Investigate what?
1. Republican leaders just want to obstruct, distract, and divide and waste our tax $$. 2. Republican leaders don't want to pass laws other than a national abortion ban. 3. Republican leaders don't want to govern.
Sounds like a typical Republican plan: no actual policy agenda and nothing to actually serve the citizens.
Let them investigate rather than implementing their sharia law
Did you have anything else in mind except getting even
Republican leadership clowns
Republican criminals doing what criminals do, plan their next heist.
Because coming out of Inflation issues America really wants GOP to investiate a President's son who has had a drug problem. We didn't do it to the Bush girls, drinking on POTUS trips & SecretService picking them up and bringing them home--on taxpayer dollars CrueltyIsThePoint
“This Republican obsession with Hunter Biden is a Fox News talking point. Unlike former Pres. Trump & his family, who used their senior White House positions to advance their own financial interests — & whom Republicans have blindly defended — Hunter Biden is a private citizen.”
Waiting to gain majority suggest abuse of power.
It’s about time they look into the Biden crime family and his scumbag son. Bought and paid for by China
Gym is wearing a jacket! What happened?
Oh that’s easy, ‘I plead the 5th’ just like all the GOP.
And that will only make Biden win the next election with ease. The GOP are never interested in anything that helps Americans.
The party of complainers and do nothing republicans
That is never going to happen.... cult...
Clowns
Oh Afghanistan! Right!
So they would still rather doggedly support the traitortrump & indulge in all this whataboutism (misdirection) as opposed to facing up to the fact that trumpsoldsecrets on their watch, that's tacit approval right there
after the Roe disaster they think they can win HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Voting is a pro-choice action you can make to ensure that the GOP does not gain control of the House.
It will not happen! VoteBlueIn2022 VoteBlueToSaveDemocracy
A Republican mistake.
Grow up GOP
Their plan is to waste time and tax payers money on getting vengeance on their guy losing the White House and the GOP losing the House, the Senate, & the public protesting the GOP’s authoritarian policies.
At least they will testify
All are nothing either and republicans don’t govern just take away rights and Make stuff up
Butter Gmail vs Wanna buy some nukes?
This is not news worthy. It is hypothetical and the alleged 'take over' is mere hyperbole. Sit down.
Of course they are. That's all they know how to do. Investigate.
While they cut Social Security & Medicare WE paid for.
Just for spite.
Why would anyone take Kevin McCarthy seriously?
Not if we VoteBlue2022
In their wet dreams
So nothing of actual substance. Of course.
Vote, because if we’re don’t this is what will happen
FBI Investgates. Congress passes laws.
not so fast.
Republicans already planning to build a shithole banana republic
Then let’s make sure they don’t get the house.
If you don’t believe in the rule of law nobody will take you seriously.
SoCalJoy Then Democrats, Independents & fair minded Republicans must make sure that we vote all MAGA GOP out! VoteThemAllOut VoteBlueToSaveAmerica VoteBlueDownBallot
They are so desperate it’s sad. No dignity or moral strength among them. Sigh
Afghanistan was TFG sabotage. Negotiations only with Taliban. Had 5k prisoners released. One which became the leader of Afghanistan. 20 YEARS & 1000'S of dead & injured soldiers. TFG ruins everything he touches.
It would be awesome if they did something worthwhile for the people who pay their salaries and their pensions and who give them the best health care in the world, wouldn't it?
Justice shall prevail lads ..
They're so full of sh!t
You do you, GOP
ie: instead of actually governing on behalf of the American people. VoteBlueForSoManyReasons
It doesn’t have to happen. Vote blue and kick Republicans to the curb VoteBlue2022
Just don’t show up.
Still waiting for the “health plan” two weeks 🙄
Because they have NO policy at all. No plans.. no will to actually serve the country. They serve themselves. And get revenge.
Fascist media can't wait.
How will that help the economy? 🤷♂️
More wasted years.
Wait, I thought using your political power to go after your enemies was wrong? Republicans have been screaming that for months.
Start with hacking healthcare in the US and distributing access to the 'withing' inside. Just a suggestion. DearPOTUS46 Do you want to hear the 'knock on the door'? I filed!
You mean 'investigations'. Because we all know Republicans have no interest in facts or law. Only rewarding friends and punishing enemies.
They are so yesterday. Really wish the GOP would work as hard kn solving the real problems of everday Americans-like healthcare and housing costs; educating our children and keepinfg food affordable.
JGuzowski What a waste of space (and money) these useless pieces of garbage are!!
It won't be a real world when the GOP takes over Congress, it will be cuckoo world.
It won’t happen.
Listen to it when the actions of people tell you who they are. The HouseGOP is more worried about sticking it to their “enemies” in a one sided make believe war than they are the people they represent. Where is their plans? Policies? They have NONE! VoteOutEveryRepublican
Isn't the Jan 6 investigation still boiling ahead of your plan?
Revenge, no merit. Just make it up
These guys are about to be included in one of the biggest investigations going on now by the DOJ. It amuses me they think Trump won't throw them under the bus to save his own ass.even if it's to shave off some time or take them with him.
Good
Do you think the American people want their legislators prosecuting one another year after year? No they don’t. They are tired of Washington lobbyists/lawyers wasting their money on legal fees. Time to step up for America and stop stuffing your pockets.
Women are registering in record numbers to vote out Republicans. Look it up.
What about their Healthcare plan
The tyranny of the [Fox News addled] minority.
Too late, for me it’s keeping women rights. Something they hate.
Surprise! I thought they were still working on Hillary. I guess it's their idea of progress.
This is not news.
Republicans aren’t interested in governing. I’m fed up with their unfounded grievances and revenge politics. How does that help the American people and move us forward?
As always, spending all their time being obstructionist! Republicans are sick of GOP do-nothing leadership.
The GOP is slime.
They should be in prison by then or at least thrown out of office. GOPTraitors
Yeah, we know.
They haven’t won anything yet and their margins are trending down. Be sure to register and vote. Contact your local Supervisor of Elections for more information.
They are counting their chickens before they are hatched!!!
So they’re not working on meaningful immigration reform? Shocker. 🙄
So basically planning to sabotage the government so that nothing gets done. Although they’ll still collect a paycheck.
Will they also finally release their healthcare plan?
There's NO serving the People anymore. There's only vengeances and vendettas going on between US lawmakers. Despicable Shame!
Woah, woah, woah....doesn't a raping coverup on young boys matter to the justice system anymore? Or does Jim Jordan have a judge in his pocket just like Trump?
You mean, Republicans don’t actually have any policies except wasting taxpayer funds on baseless “investigations” to create conspiracy theories, trying to strip away Social security, Medicare, the ACA and trying to repeal the Inflation-Reduction Act.
'GOP leaders plan Biden-related investigations' Translation: GOP leaders plan on doing nothing but political theater if they're given power back.
Parties are outstanding ..,🥺🥺🥺 Perhaps protecting each Ellie's 🕯️🕯️🕯️
We cannot let these children win back control of anything
Disgusting and pathetic. The GOP doesn’t stand for anything but MAGA. They have no platform, no moral and no ethics. It’s not the Grand Old Party of Lincoln. It’s the MAGA party of crazy Trump conspiracy theory and illegality.
OMG! Seriously
The investigations would be dog and pony shows, waste everyone's time and money. The results would be a failure for the gopers, doing nothing for Americans. Just grievance politics by the train wreck gop.
and no plans to help america
When you don’t have the facts on your side, pound the table.
This is why the Biden Administration is trying to upend the voting system. Behind the scenes, they enacted an unconstitutional scheme, involving multiple government agencies, to influence the midterm elections.
VOTE BLUE!!!
What’s different? All they ever do is accuse people of what they done.
Wait a second, you mean they're not going to be putting forward a plan to reduce gas prices and inflation?🤔🤔🤔
So nothing for the people?
lol, lmao
I read this somewhere: Right: let's do genocide Left: no Center: we have to compromise, let's just do some genocide Left: still no Right/center: see that's why everyone hates you & calls you radical
they should be doing the people's business not trying to score points with their electorate
They're funny!🤣🤣🤣🤣
*Yawn* Gym Jordan (F/OH) already did that. Didn't find squat. Fascist Party of America still doesn't grok that when Trump goes down - and he will go down - that he's going to take all of them with him.
Before or after they try to ban abortion, end social security and Medicare, destroy public education, and give another tax cut to billionaires, crippling the incredible progress Joe Biden has made. And Kevin McCarthy in charge. No thank you.
😂
They’ve lost the plot and don’t deserve to represent us.
Sounds good to me.
Just strip the funding from their ruinous Laws, Acts, and Regulations, and move fwd w/gutting bad laws. No one’s going to jail.
Vote them out!
Um, backburner? Please do better
Which means if they win in 2022, nothing will be done for Americans
USCongress more deflection by gopcongress to put Trump crimes on second page. Trump standard plan. FBI TheJusticeDept stop stalling. Enough proof to indict NOW
Revenge, plain and simple. Waste of tax dollars. Typically stupid.
USA loves them!!
They will lose.
what about Jerod's 2 billion$$ pay from the Saudis within a year of leaving office, that is seriously suspicious.

McCarthy and crew can plan all they want, but pay attention … over past 20mths Ds have passed significant legislation AND conducted a Master Class in Congressional investigations - J6 Hearings. Are Rs up to the challenge or will they continue to wallow in outrage culture wars?
