They aren’t going to stop but folks need to understand they will open an ‘investigation’ of anyone who wins the Democratic nomination: Anyone.

I think Biden has been inoculated on this issue by the impeachment. Johnson is flogging a dead horse.

Instead of saying it’s “debunked” and “meritless,” it would be helpful if the fucking media would explain why the timeline makes the whole thing ridiculous.

They aren’t even trying to hide their quest for dirt on Biden any more. Maybe because they paid no penalty for it…

Just ignore the subpoenas. Why respond?

I don’t think it can be any clearer that Congressional subpoenas can be ignored.

I regularly ask critics of WI senator Tammy Baldwin what Ron Johnson has done for them lately.

Clearly, the answer is nothing worthwhile for the American people.

Odd, how they never respond to that challenge by explaining what he has actually done for them.

Johnson wrote that the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee had received “U.S. government records” about the matter, including State Department documents which, the Wisconsin Senator claimed, “corroborate records Mr. Telizhenko has already produced to the Committee.”

Johnson further stated that people should pay no attention to the fact that the 2019 and 2020 dates on said “U.S. government records” were scratched out and changed to 2015 and 2016 and that the authors of the “records” were not employed in government on the revised dates.

I am now seeing this same shit-show from the GOP fever swamps, except on the Coronavirus. Crazy right-wingers are convinced it is a mix of a Chinese bioweapons lab and the Democrats who created the virus.

Tom Cotton said it so it must be so. For SURE the Chinese ‘wanted’ this outbreak to shut down their economy.

They are so hateful that they were willing to cut their OWN throats.

And if there needed to be another good reason to flip the Senate in favour of Democrats, here it is. Stupid, unnecessary investigations of conspiracy theories and bad propaganda. The savings in air-time and blood pressure medication alone would be an unintended side-effect, imho.

If receiving exorbitant sums of money for services rendered becomes cause for suspicion and investigation my dentist is going to be very unhappy.

Agreed, but debunked and meritless are a huge improvement over treating the claims as passing the giggle test.

We need to have a talk with Wisconsin about their recent voting patterns.
