Joe’s a civilian. Isn’t he entitled to “Due Process”?
A congressional committee voting to investigate someone is due process.
Consider that in some places it only takes three people to get a warrant — a cop, a witness, and a judge.
Getting more than half of a congressional committee to agree one something takes more than that.
AfaIct, congressional investigatory powers are practically almost unlimited.
They are bound by the need for the topic of the investigation to be a topic on which legislation
could be had.
Congress doesn't even have to be actively considering legislation on the topic of investigation. It only has to be a topic that it is
possible for Congress to
consider legislation on the subject.
Again, if there was a crime, why hasn’t the DOJ or FBI opened an investigation on it? Is it because there is nothing to find? Why is Trump waffling on this?
Imho, the lack of a DOJ investigation is because the DOJ has yet to see sufficient reason to open an investigation.
But my opinion is uninteresting and beside the point.
What
is interesting are the folks who have yet to wonder about why the Senate and the USDOJ are unconcerned about the Biden business.
I think that a large parts of the Trumpco political narrative (and CTs in general) are better suited for the people who are not in power.
Once you become The Man™, you become responsible.
If stuff ain't going right, you're the one responsible.
It's much easier for outsiders to sell the idea that the Powers That Be are the conspiracy.
When you are the PTB, it's your responsibility to make sure that things run right.
So, Trumpco complaints about unprosecuted crimes fail (for me anyway) because Trumpco has had three years with their hands at the levers of government.
If there're crimes the USDOJ needs to investigate, the people in charge of the USDOJ are responsible. Deal with it. It's literally your job.
Doubly so for GOP complaints. The GOP had control of BOTH houses of Congress for years.
If there was Biden related funny business years ago, why haven't they done their jobs?
This is the part where you have to believe that there is an orchestrated and effective conspiracy of career civil service personnel.
I can't tell if the government workers in The Deep State Conspiracy™ are the same civil servants who're supposed to be unable to function efficiently, effectively, or at all.
It could be that despite their lack of competence, they are somehow still able to stymie the administrative skills of The Smartest Guy™.
But perhaps the The Deep State Conspiracy™ is only among some new, secret, elite of the civil service sector who are coordinated and competent enough to stymie the executive abilities of The Smartest Guy™.
