Lil Gymmy has no shame (From TheHill today)

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) slammed Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) at a Judiciary subcommittee hearing on Thursday about “compliance with committee oversight,” pointing out that the chairman of the Judiciary Committee previously failed to comply with a congressional subpoena.

“I think it’s quite rich that we are talking about subpoena compliance under a chairman of a full committee who was absolutely out of subpoena compliance in the last Congress,” Swalwell said.

“So, we’re going to haul witnesses in here today and claim that they did not comply with subpoenas or requests,” he continued. “And that request is so rich because it’s coming from a chairman who himself did not comply with the Jan. 6 committee’s requests.”

Meanwhile the whole point of this hearing is being lost, so that's a win. Amirite.

What’s the “super woman” part here?  She hit the talking points
—China! Russia! Saudi Arabia!—but beyond the toothless declaration that “legitimate questions”  exist around the Musk purchase, she really didn’t say anything. 
 

As it stands right now, there is an investigation into the FTC and a potential government shakedown of Twitter.  There is an investigation into the behavior of the organization pre-Musk.    Maybe she’s looking in the wrong spot? 
 

My favorite part though was how Vic Chi praised her for being “calm” in a committee room in Washington. Apparently he feels it’s super human that a Georgetown & American University graduate, attorney, delegate to the House, and world traveler could keep her emotions in check during a committee meeting.   Maybe it’s time for him to move past a 1950s mentality?

McCarthy directs committees to probe whether federal funds were used in potential Trump indictment

by Adam Shaw

 

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Saturday said he is directing House committees to investigate whether federal funds are being used for "politically motivated prosecutions" amid reports that former President Donald Trump could be indicted as early as next week. "Here we go again — an outrageous abuse of power by a radical DA who lets violent criminals walk as he pursues political vengeance against President Trump," McCarthy tweeted. McCarthy was reacting to indications that the Manhattan District Attorney's office is potentially preparing to issue an indictment for alleged hush money payments Trump made as a presidential candidate in 2016.
