  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

At least 42 Biden administration officials were sent letters by Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee this month requesting testimony from a variety of White House officials.


Those letters primarily dealt with the suspected politicization of the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ), investigations into U.S. border security, and President Joe Biden’s son Hunter.

42 is child's play, just the Jan 6 commission interviewed how many, way more than 42.
Maybe we should call our Reps and tell them they need to work harder to expose corruption, before their session even begins.

You think a party which lost 7 out of 8 popular vote in last 8 Presidential elections would evaluate themselves to align with majority Americans. But no , they want to do what please their base.

I just wonder , other then calming “ voter fraud” what are other GOP strategy to win 2024.
Since the last election Republicans have already
Since when is getting revenge the most urgent political problem?
* Fixed the border crisis
* fixed the inflation
* solved the fentanyl crisis
* Secured all schools for mad shooters
* lowered the gas price
* brought peace in Ukraine

So they can relax a little bit. Oh... wait..

The suspect that the CiC stands in the way of Republicans moving forward; but I would at least give them an opportunity to start their session before blaming Biden for undermining their plans.

The last time the republicans tried this stunt was to "get Hillary Clinton." How did that work out for them?

House Benghazi Committee Chairman Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., center, joined by Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, left, and Rep. Mike Pompeo, R-Kan. discusses the release of his final report on the 2012 attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, where a violent mob killed four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Tuesday, June 28, 2016, during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington. Republicans on the panel accuse the Obama administration of stonewalling important documents and witnesses but Democrats say the panel's primary goal is to undermine the presidential candidacy of Hillary Clinton who was secretary of state during the attacks. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)


WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans on Tuesday concluded their $7 million, two-year investigation into the deadly attacks in Benghazi, Libya, with fresh accusations of lethal mistakes by the Obama administration but no “smoking gun” pointing to wrongdoing by Hillary Clinton,
...
After the long investigation, filled with partisan sniping by panel members, none of the new revelations highlighted by the House Benghazi committee in its 800-page report pointed specifically to Clinton’s actions before, during or after the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks on the U.S. diplomatic outpost and CIA annex in the eastern Libyan city.
...
Republican insistence that the investigation was not politically motivated was undermined last year when House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., suggested that the committee could take credit for Clinton’s then-slumping poll numbers.

His statements helped dash his chances of becoming House Speaker.


I wonder if Kevin has that short a memory. Or maybe he just doesn't learn from experience.

tear them up and wait for the new Congress.

The House will have many choices with regard to how to use their time. I suppose these will be the least consequential.

And there's a real investigation by the IG looking into why two people Trump hated suddenly got a very rare IRS audit, after his people said he considered how the IRS could be used for political purposes.

Former White House Chief of Staff Says Trump Wanted IRS to Investigate His Rivals


That's a real investigation, with some real potential to take down a crook or two.

These politicians are but bit players in a much bigger global scheme and yet so many of the 99% continually fall for this misdirection.
There is no “bigger global scheme”.
Just 8 billion humans trying to make sense of our own existence.
Some find it reasonable to think that there is at least one God who “has a plan” and our lives are part of that plan.
If there is a Someone Who “has a plan”, it’s a not very good plan.

What does this have to do with Biden Administration officials?

Not that I want you to post this all again, but several smoke-filled threads already exist to discuss Twitter.

And then there's the Tucker Carlson connection, revealed by the laptop contents...

Tucker Carlson emailed Hunter Biden asking for his help in getting his son into Georgetown University, including writing a recommendation letter. Did Tucker Carlson Ask Hunter Biden for Help Getting His Son into College?

And no, that has been identified as real, not part of the stuff that was added after Rudy and Co. got their hands on it. You couldn't write better stuff for this fiasco.

I mean it did help Hillary lose to a political neophyte, so it worked out pretty well.
In the sense of throwing an election, yes. We ended up with an incompetent criminal as president.

But in terms of exposing malfeasance or crimes, it was a major bust. And it took one major republican congressman (Gowdy) out of office and denied another (McCarthy) speakership of the House.

It shouldn't be necessary to point out that Congressional investigations should not be used to further political aims.
