What to Investigate

For John, BLUF:  This is based on the Republicans winning a House Majority in November, which is not a sure thing.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Jim Jordan:  House GOP Will Prioritize These 3 Investigations Next Year

From Pajama Media, by Reporter Matt Margolis, 1 March 2022, 10:53 AM ET.

Here is the lede plus four:

On Monday, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, was asked to identify “the number one investigation that the House Republicans should put forward and pursue,” should the Republicans be in the majority next year after the midterm elections.

He couldn’t name one … he named three.

1. According to Jordan, the House GOP will investigate “all the lies from the misinformation, the disinformation from [Dr.] Fauci and the CDC,” which includes the suppression of the lab leak theory of the origins of COVID and the illegal funding of gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology with taxpayer dollars.
2. After Trump secured the southern border, Joe Biden laid out the welcome mat for illegal immigrants, causing illegal immigration to reach historic crisis levels  Biden’s migrant facilities are plagued with overcrowding and overall disgusting conditions.  There have also been reports of migrant children being sexually assaulted in these migrant facilities.  In addition, the Biden administration, rather than cracking down on illegal immigration, has been flying illegals to various U.S. cities.
3. Last year we learned that Attorney General Merrick Garland authorized the FBI to investigate parents who protest school board meetings.  Not only were they using the FBI to investigate parents who dared to criticize schools for teaching CRT and radical transgender ideology, according to a whistleblower in the department, but the FBI also employed counterterrorism tools to monitor parents—essentially treating parents as domestic terrorists.

I would add a fourth, the investigations and actions resulting from the 6 Janaury 2021 riots on Capitol Hill  The are things that have happened since then which seem very sketchy.

I welcome these investigations.

That said, investigations, House hearings, need to focus on facts and processes, and eschew personalities.
