Read: Dems Bid To Block GOP Probe Into Biden Allegations, Fearing ‘Disinformation Efforts’ | Talking Points Memo

Senate Democrats tried last week to block the Republican-controlled Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs from issuing a subpoena for testimony from a Ukrainian who has peddled conspiracy theories central to the extortionate dirt-digging project that got President Trump impeached.

Even his mama would fail to stop to wizz on Telizhenko if he were on fire.

What a sorry damn joke. If this laughable buffoon is the best the fascist regime has…

“The main issue that it has to be investigated what happened in Ukraine under Obama admin. And if the Dems where not guilty they would initiate such investigation themselves from the beginning and show what is true and what is not,” Telizhenko said. “But they choose to discredit anybody who came out with the truth.”

But, why? According to Barr, the President and presumably, VP, can do whatever they want and Congress has no recourse.

Or is it Unitary Executive theory for me, not for thee?

Agreed its a joke that, in the absence of a craving for partisan electoral advantage, would be DOA.
They don’t, however, need or want a real investigation.
Like with Donnie’s clamoring for an announcement of an investigation, what they’re looking for is a source of aspersions that they can toss at Drumpf’s opponents, incite misdirected chants of ‘Lock him up,’ at Donnie’s rallies and sow doubt among low information voters.
They’re not the most imaginative people in the world. Their first impulse is to reach for replays of what worked before and this is just a reincarnation of, “But, her e-mails…”

Some enemy told him that a huge quilted orange vest would produce a slimming effect.


If it is so cold you need a vest - do not wear shorts.

Today’s Trump GOP are effectively the propaganda arm of the Putin Russian secret service. They have no patriotism, and eagerly use Russian espionage and false narratives for their short term political purposes.

An entire political party is comprised of traitors.

Weird, I don’t recall any news about investigations of Ukraine and Biden or the 2016 election last week, I wonder what might have changed to get the Republicans interested again…let me think about it a minute…

Hey, Senate Democrats: take it to court. Then take it all the way to the Supreme Court. They should have a decision ready by about June 2021.

House should subpoena Johnson. If he objects, take it to court.

I’m not joking.

I dunno. It might be interesting for the House to beat the Senate to it and subpoena Telizhenko to testify under oath.
