Can we make it retroactive to three months ago? Yes, it’s the perfect time to “politicize” this debacle wrapped in a fiasco inside a malheur with calamity sprinkles on top.

Speaker Pelosi…Please tell the Covid Congressional Oversight Committee to please pay close attention to the real douchebag and corrupt nepotism violator behind the scenes…Kushner and his cronies

Addendum2:

And watch out for the BIG PHARMA…Trump has granted orphan status to Gilead for a pandemic treatment when Covid-19 is NOT a rare disease! Note that this violates The Orphan Drug Act!

Addendum3:

In a black swan report, the Army warned that Covid could kill 150,000 Americans last FEB 3rd.

March 4, President Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity that the World Health Organization’s coronavirus death estimate of 3.4 percent of cases was a “false number,” since it contradicted a “hunch” he had. “It’s not that severe,” the president said.

The wingnuts in Orange County CA didn’t seem to believe that Peter Navarro was up to any job, he could not get elected dogcatcher running as a Republican. He tried several times too.

The House Dems should just save time and start the investigations of Trump/Kushner self-dealing and kick-backs now.

It won’t matter much. It’s clear that the Trump administration blew this in every way they could have. It’s also clear that all the evidence in the world showing how badly Trump blew this won’t stop Republicans from saying this is nothing more than a partisan hit job.

And please, Nancy, don’t for the sake of ‘comity’ just put a report aside that is clearly litigation evidence. For the love of all that’s holy, please push forward with whatever legitimate evidence is brought forward. Lord knows there’s a ton of it, just like there was with Bush Jr. Please don’t make the same mistake again.

All true. But it needs to be done anyway. No rationally ordered society can countenance the kind of idiotic incompetence and corruption this administration showed in a deadly crisis without an inquiry to find out who all the guilty parties are (Kushner comes to mind) and what should be done about it. There are going to be succeeding waves of this virus before it’s all over, there’s one important reason to act right there.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! As if Individual-1 will accept any amount of oversight, from anyone.

It is to laugh…

Too late. We needed everyone focused on fixing the deficiencies in the government response weeks ago.

Now that Jared has fixed the opioid pandemic and secured peace in the Middle East, it’s only natural that he would be the one to cure the coronavirus.

And who’s gonna do that, Donald “Only I Can Fix It” Trump and his band of merry “acting” miscreants? Nothing’s getting fixed until Trump is removed from office and his regime obliterated.

And while you’re at it, Madame Speaker, see if you can pry loose the unredacted copy of the Mueller Report…

For the next impeachment trial…

Maybe she can get Judge Reggie to xerox her a copy.

Unfortunately, the subpoenas will be ignored and SCOTUS will shield the guilty…

I imagine this effort at oversight will meet with results similar to that of the impeachment investigations.

The House: “We’d like the testimony of this list of people, and these documents.”

Trump: “Eff you.”
