Plan to probe Bidens sparks GOP divisions
The Hill ^ | 02 07 2020 | Jordain Carney

A pledge to investigate the Bidens and Ukraine once the impeachment trial wraps is sparking divisions among Senate Republicans.

SNIP

“I know there’s been some discussion about the Judiciary Committee taking a look at that. I think what I would like to see happen around here is a return to normalcy,” said Sen. John Thune (S.D.), the No. 2 Republican senator, in response to a question from The Hill about talk within the caucus about investigating the Bidens.

“People just kind of put their spears down and let’s get back to work and focus on I think what most people in the country think we ought to be doing,” he added.

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) said Graham might feel “obligated” as the Judiciary Committee chairman to investigate the Bidens and Ukraine but added he thought the Senate’s focus should be on other priorities.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), a member of Graham’s committee, asked if he had any interest in investigating the Bidens, said: “I think an election is the best way to handle that.”

Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) said senators shouldn't “turn a blind eye to corruption” but stressed that Congress’s focus should be on things that unite the country.

“As a matter of focus and emphasis and priority, we have a lot to do legislatively, policy-wise. ... That ought to be where we focus, certainly as a body,” Cramer said.

Bush League Republicans will always try to protect their friends across the aisle.

That’s why they MUST be replaced.

This is a diversion from the President’s primary mission of destroying the socialist/progressive cancer that is a serious and growing threat to our Republic. Trump is not one to be distracted from his primary mission.

Idiots! The only way to insure that no president ever has to go through this kind of witch hunt again is to burn the witches and warlocks that started it.

I don’t care what these dbags are doing as long as the DOJ is doing the job.

I want indictments instead of sound bites.
