  • 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.

House Republicans launched an investigation Monday into how the Justice Department bungled a plea deal with Hunter Biden so badly that a judge sent them back for a mulligan.

The committees conducting the investigation said several parts of the agreement were “atypical” to the point that the federal prosecutor who led the defense had to acknowledge under questioning that there was no precedent for such an arrangement.

One provision ruled out prosecutions for crimes beyond the scope of the case, and another limited the government’s authority to prosecute Mr. Biden should he violate the terms of the deal.

This is just a mulligan, not even a bad court thingy. The parties are working things out. This is pointless.

The House GOP might as well have lit a neon sign saying, "We're going to investigate this no matter how it turns out."

Routing out corruption is very useful.
In “real time”?
Don’t they usually let the nefarious activity happen before they go about investigating it?

((Also, it's "rooting".))

rout out​

To force someone out of or away from some place or thing. A noun or pronoun can be used between "rout" and "out." The police commissioner directed the SWAT team to rout out the protestors from their encampment outside city hall. Our soldiers have finally managed to rout the enemy out.

That's referring to the physical removal of a person. The search for, discovery and removal of is "root out".

That's what they said about Hillary, and the laptop, and the Biden tapes.
And Obama's citizenship. And don't forget the Tan suit. And so on, and so on.

If one didn't know better, one might imagine the GOP doesn't actually have any ideas for governing.
