A Senate committee is re-engaging former Obama administration officials as part of an investigation targeting Joe Biden’s son, demanding transcribed interviews and documents for the GOP-led probe

A Senate committee is re-engaging former Obama administration officials as part of an investigation targeting Joe Biden’s son, demanding transcribed interviews and documents for the Republican-led probe.

The committee said the requests were part of an investigation into “whether certain officials within the Obama administration had actual or apparent conflicts of interest, or whether there was any other wrongdoing, because of Hunter Biden’s role in Rosemont Seneca and related entities, and as a board member of Burisma Holdings,” according to letters the panel’s chief counsel sent at the time.

Johnson’s investigations have fueled raw partisan tensions in public committee meetings as well as behind closed doors. In March, senators got intoduring a classified election-security briefing as Democrats asserted that Johnson was participating in Russia’s interference in U.S. elections.

This is a true witch hunt!

Squirrel! Waste of time. Don’t they have anything better to focus on right now? Pandemic, economy, militarized police, Russians putting a bounty on US servicemen?

A 125,000 Americans are dead, and all you have time for is to find dirt on Biden's son!

Do like the Republicans just don't show, Ask for a written questionnaire.... Ignore and deflect.....

More Republican's desperation as they fall further down and could possibly be Whigs in the near future.

When are they going to set up a Senate subcommittee to discuss Trump and Republicans involvement with Russians allowing targeting of American troops. This would be of greater importance.

Yay, it’s time for another game of “What Goes Around Comes Around” in the US Senate. To those who have and will receive requests from SenateGOP, just invoke the “Donny Rule of Rebuke” and tell these partisan GOP hacks to shove it. End of investigation. Bam!

It’s time for another game of “What Goes Atound Comes Around” in the US Senate. To those who have and who will receive requests from SenateGOP, just follow Donny’s precedent and tell these partisan GOP hacks to shove it. End of investigation.

To those who have received requests from these GOP partisan hacks, just follow Donny’s example and tell these GOP Senators to shove it. End of investigation.

What a waste of taxpayers $$$

The poo-poo Republicans need to he voted out.

Don't fall into GOP's trap. They are trying to divert the attention from Trump disastrous handling on the pandemic.

Sure we’ll get that to ya Nov 4th.

👏🏼👏🏼👍

All they have to do is what trump admin did all throughout the impeachment inquiries: ignore subpoenas. If trump and his cronies did it, so can everyone else. Apparently there are no repercussions.

Of for Christ sake give it a rest. Investigate the trumpmobfamily

Nobody cares and nobody is watching. Literally wasting time and money; obviously being run by the White House thru Johnson and Graham. Really embarrassing for these idiots.

Investigate trump jr while your at it.

That story is stale and too old but the Trumpers keep on signing his tune to distract from their lack of work on Covid-19

Could they maybe try to rein in realDonaldTrump and save some lives? Instead of this. VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare VoteOutTheGOP VoteTrumpOut

Ah Senator Johnson must be behind this strategy, as the lowest IQ member of that honorable forum.

Is anyone going to take this seriously?

The Virus is the GOP

so they spend all their time investigating corruption and nothing gets done for the ppl.

Good

Waste of taxpayers dollars. Now, let's do Trump knowing about Russia paying bounties to kill US soldiers.

Well, they investigated the Trump kids for much less

Nutty Buddies

The GOP is desperate. Trump is dragging the GOP down with him.

Republicans are sick people. Replace every one of them.

I hope they refuse like Trump and his cronies did in the impeachment trial .

Always a diversion from the lack of leadership in 3 crises. Always the move of desperation

Fuck the GOP

time for some MAJOR foot-dragging (what's good for the goose.....)

I just wish that after Biden wins, that the GOP would have to pay the tax payers back with their republican flush funds.

Beating a dead horse while other issues are ignored

have you heard this man answer questions? He's a lightweight, but he's definitely a Trump sycophant and wants to do his bidding....if I'm the Obama officials, i take a page from Trump's playbook from the Ukraine situation and tell Johnson and his witchhunt: fuck off!!!!

Another waste of tax $$$$ recall Benghazi 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

Tell them to stick it up their ass

Ignorant hypocrites at it again! Go away!!!

But what about Benghazi? You can't tell me these lunatics are done looking into that yet.

Such horseshit, diversionary tactic. Won't work! Trump is done!

Why aren’t they investigating Ivanka, Eric and Don. After all they rip off a charity, ripped off trump U students, and on and on and on...Oh, that’s right, they’re republicans.

If it was me I'd send them these. That should stall them til November.

I wonder where the outrage was when Paul Ryan was Speaker and they were in majority . And senate was in majority for years. What took so long if so important. Oh yeah election. Same playbook as 2016

Are there no depths to which they won’t sink?

I’d tell them we will Comply when Trump officials cooperate with subpoenas and House investigations. If Republicans can ignore senate so can Dems. S&ck it Republicans.

Smoke and mirrors, that’s all it is.

SO they same idiots that wee upset with the Democrats' investigation of Trumps whatever are now the ones doing the same thing only this time to try and keep Mr. Irresponsible poll numbers from sliding more because of his no or bad actions in doing anything that helps the countr

The courts say there’s nothing you can do to someone when ignoring subpoenas.... so ignore them.

Do what the Republicans did....Postpone, postpone, postpone, dont come in for subpoenas.

What a complete waste of money and time.

Lock them all up!

Meanwhile Russia is paying to have American soldiers killed and Trump invites Putin back to the G8 after finding out about it but sure, let’s investigate Hunter Biden....

This is like Benghazi part 27 you don't like the answers you got just have another hearing so you can ask questions again

What on earth is wrong with Republicans? Are they all drinking some special, poisoned through their environmental deregulation, water?

This is the new Butter Emails. While a pandemic runs unchecked through the only developed nation that hasn’t managed to get it under control. We’re chasing ghosts that nobody outside on the Fox bubble gives half a shit about.

this won't go anywhere. bet it backfires on these numnuts

Because there’s nothing more important to democracy in America than investigating Hunter Biden.

SenateGOP grasping at straws because they know they’ve completely screwed up this country and their party.

Refuse to turn them over!! It works both ways

if youre gonna pretend to be outraged, you gotta first have something to leak to be outraged about

They just keep wasting OUR money on this bs

Crazy ass

Pathetic

stop doing Trump's bidding

Excellent

Seriously? I can't take it anymore. I CAN'T!!!

The Biden’s are dirty AF
