Top Republican says congressional investigations don’t have much credibility: ‘I blame Adam Schiff for that’
The Hill ^ | 11/23/2022 | JULIA MUELLER

Posted on 11/23/2022 1:25:18 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), who is expected to become chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee next year, said he blames Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) for what he sees as lowered credibility of congressional probes.

Schiff chairs the House Intelligence Committee and sits on the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol — and the California lawmaker also led the first impeachment effort against former President Trump.

Maybe he could’ve said - we have no choice because the FBi is beholden and in business with his son.

I don’t want to hear any backing off.

No one in the either house of Congress ever said — we don’t want to make Investigating Trump a Priority.

And Biden has admitted to Felonies! It’s on Camera!

He’s right - just like the DOJ/FBI are quickly destroying any pretense of justice in Federal law enforcement. Its now merely about who has the power.

Democrat and RINOS are just a rubber-stamp for the money-printing, woke deep state.

If the GOP want to be taken seriously, they need to simply start eliminating whole agencies and programs with one go.

Well, even before Schiff, “Congressional probes” have mostly been dog & pony shows for decades. What is the last one that resulted in actual tangible changes being made? The Church Committee?

“And Biden has admitted to Felonies! It’s on Camera!”

So what? They can’t arrest him and while there is a slim chance they could impeach him, they can’t convict.

I suppose they could drag all the dirt out into the public eye and hope that tilts the 2024 election. That’s probably the best we could hope for.

It’s hard for me to picture any modern politician getting rid of any alphabet agency or even reducing their budgets in the era of the 24 news cycle and media disaster porn. Our dumb screen culture society has become conditioned to be 100% risk adverse. No one wants to be the pol who cut the security budget and is then invariably blamed when something terrible happens...or is allowed to happen.

Adam Shitt has zero credibility, period.
Lies all over the place like a rug.

Yes. The default position seems to be that everything continues apace, until something really breaks.

Well, they’re not going to be passing any legislation so I guess it’s something they can do for the next two years.

Blaming Shiff?

Pubbies have been running congressional investigations/hearings for decades: Graham, Grassley, Paul, Jordan, et al.

The sad thing is that they hardly ever result in much.

“Jacob Schiff – the Financier

Jacob Schiff was head of the New York investment firm Kuhn, Loeb and Co. He was one of the principal backers of the Bolshevik revolution and personally financed Trotsky’s trip from New York to Russia. He was a major contributor to Woodrow Wilson’s presidential campaign and an advocate for passage of the Federal Reserve Act.”

Any relation to Adam?

“I don’t believe congressional investigations have a whole lot of credibility right now. I blame Adam Schiff for that,” Comer told Punchbowl News in an interview published Wednesday.

Comer is right. Schiff and the RATS have wrecked the credibility of congressional investigations along with wrecking impeachment among other things they've wrecked. And it's all part of the plan of the left to undermine the credibility of every institution from politics to sports to healthcare. The more credibility they can remove from institutions, the easier to replace them because people see them as ineffectual, useless, dated, insignificant, and so on and so forth, and want something different.

Take elections. The left undermined the credibility of elections first with provisional ballots while railing against ID checks as racist. Then they moved on to ballot harvesting and blind mail-in balloting along with agitating for ranked choice voting. On top of that, they've been attacking the Electoral College, the Supreme Court including threatening to pack it, and the filibuster while spouting everywhere democracy and especially Our Democracy.

Pretty clear they're pushing toward simple majority rule across the board and they have millions buying into it who also buy into restricting speech, self-defense, and other natural rights we were founded on. The left knows that simple majorities can trample minorities they don't like, but they also know the dopes who are buying into what they're saying, don't know or care. By the time they do figure it out, it will be too late.

I hope Congress doesn’t waste a bunch of time on investigations that will accomplish nothing and are for political show. I’ve told my Congress people what I want them working on but I doubt they care what one person wants.

Subpeona Biden’s daughter’s diary and have a look at it. That is probably the only thing that could take him down, or some kind of illegal information given to the Chinese for cash. Other than that, he can get away with almost anything.
