I love how Santos thought he was getting into an awesome new grift by being elected to Congress (including a salary for the rest of his life after one term, which isn't even true), but instead the result is that all of his past cons are coming to light and he's now under criminal investigation.

I'll start laughing when he faces real consequences.

I remember saying the same thing about Trump running for President.

Someone should arrange to have a real circus sent up there at the same time with music blasting and clowns all over welcoming the GOP "Home". 

 

It would be hilarious if literally no news outlets besides Fox News and Newsmax show up there to cover it.

House Republicans, pissed off because their attempts to obstruct an investigation was thwarted, retaliate by punishing a Congressman who 

 

1). Had nothing to do with it. 
2). But she's a woman. 
3). And Muslim. 
 

And the cover story they use, is to claim it's because she said something bad (but, I'm willing to bet, true) about a foreign country.

This is where they take stupid **** she said and go "look, she hates Jews!" and still don't understand why Jewish Americans overwhelmingly won't support them.

Jordan fires off first subpoenas against Biden admin

 

Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan unloaded the House GOP’s first subpoenas a month into the new majority, demanding records about certain Biden administration decisions regarding threats against school officials during the Covid-19 pandemic.

 

Jordan (R- Ohio) on Friday sent subpoenas to Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray and Department of Education Secretary Miguel Cardona — requesting a laundry list of documents by March 1, according to a review of the three subpoenas by POLITICO.

 

The subpoenas, which Jordan formally signed Thursday, are linked to a long-held GOP claim that federal agencies “targeted” parents. It stems from a memo sent by Garland in 2021 about a “spike in harassment, intimidation and threats of violence” against school officials.

 

Garland and the FBI have strenuously rejected the GOP accusation — which fact checkers have also deemed false — saying their focus was on protecting school board members amid sharply escalating threats of violence, with no emphasis on parents or those raising policy concerns about Covid restrictions.

 

The subpoenas primarily seek communications between top FBI and Justice Department officials and outside advocates and the Department of Education. Despite the March 1 deadline, subpoenas typically give way to further negotiation that results in shifting due dates and a narrower scope of document production.

Wait, didn't we learn from Jordan and others that Congressional subpoenas could be ignored without repercussion?  Tell him to **** off.
