Pelosi announces new select committee to oversee coronavirus response

[Cardinal]

Republicans will predictably say that oversight is going to distract the White House from effectively overseeing the pandemic response. The logical counterpoint to this is that trump was incompetent during impeachment, he was incompetent after impeachment, and will continue to be incompetent after this new oversight is created.

The only difference is that he’ll be incompetent while Pelosi attempts to create transparency over how our tax dollars are being used to help Americans hurt by the outbreak.

And predictably, trump will fight all subpoenas and any attempts to learn where the money is going.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the creation of a new select committee Thursday with subpoena powers to scrutinize the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, and its management of the new $2 trillion economic rescue law.

“Where there’s money there’s also frequently mischief,” Pelosi (D-Calif.) said as she announced creation of the special bipartisan panel she said would be focused on rooting out waste, fraud and abuse.

]Pelosi’s announcement comes amid growing clashes between congressional Democrats and the Trump administration about oversight of the new rescue legislation and a $500 billion fund controlled by the Treasury Department. Trump has to appoint a new inspector general to oversee that fund but has already signaled opposition to the scope of that person’s mandate.

The money will go undeterred to the wealthy. Committee or no committee.

 

[Cardinal]

This is probably the easiest prediction I’ve ever made, but while Republicans are busy attacking Pelosi, at no point will it occur to them that perhaps...just maybe...it’s a good thing that we know how the rescue package is being spent to help Americans.

"We impeached but Republicans stopped removal last time. This time we'll DEFINITELY get it done!"

i guess pelosi didn't learn her lesson the last 2 times she drank the schiff koolaid.

I guess she is really insane because the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again while expecting a different result.
Actually he was 100% competent during and after and has continued to show pretty good leadership on handling things.

she can take her committee and shove it up her ass.
once again pelosi shows what disgusting people leftist are.

instead of doing things to help improve the situation she is more concerned with trump.
lol and the lemmings will follow her off the cliff along with schiff once again.

leftist are idiots.

Good Lord that's a howler. Nancy Pelosi, who's worth over 100 million after 30 years in politics, is concerned about transparency.

“Rahhhrr!! I don’t know what this thread is about but I saw Pelosi’s name, so time to act like an asshat!!!”

at this point she is not mentally fit to run the house.
her and schiff have proven their abuse of power along with a whole host of other mental signs that they are
100% unhinged and not capable of making sound logical decisions.

this is great for republicans though.

schiff and pelosi do that enough for everyone.

Yep, the administration was just not busy enough - they need to focus on keeping Pelosi more informed. Perhaps, they can start by finding out why a Kennedy Center bailout was so necessary.

What is the administration busy doing, just out of curiosity? Trust me, they have the time to tell the American public how the rescue package is being dispersed. Lord knows they’re not doing anything else.

 

[OrphanSlug]

"Oversee."

Code for a ton of meetings, hearings, backroom deals and shenanigans, and plenty of mic time throughout that results in... wait for it... absolutely nothing.

The trick here is the Republicans already agreed to an oversight committee...let's see how loud they scream foul.

it won't go to Trump properties.

um, the Republicans agreed to the committee when the stimulus package was passed.

It's not supposed to.

Why wouldn't we know what it's about? The Democrats are going to "investigate" every allocation made under any of the CV-19 bills, subpoena all kinds of Trump appointees and basically promote a media narrative of ignorance, negligence, abuse and corruption. They will be aided in the endeavor by CNN, MSNBC primarily and the other networks to a lesser extent. The objective will be to draw a comparison between Andrew Cuomo and Donald Trump for campaign uses.

The arts have become such promoters of degeneracy and social destruction that we shouldn’t be sponsoring them anyway.

ummm wrong committee this is another committee that is different than the one in the bill.
there is already over site of the money written into the bill that will be handled by existing committee's.
there is no need to give them subpoena powers if this is just over site of the money which is already being handled.

perhaps you can C&P the article? The paywall won't let most of us read it.

not my issue to educate you on the subject that is your responsibility.
so you just admit you have no clue what you are talking about thanks for letting us know.

I somehow bet you don't have a clue...it is clear that you didn't read the article...at least I am adult enough to admit that I didn't read it. The Republicans agreed to a committee...there needs to be oversight...and btw, there needs to be an investigation into whether Trump's actions led to the crisis we have now and why we don't have tests...further, we need to investigate why our emergency supplies were sent to China and are now returning to us via Russia...now we have subsequently sold and repurchased our own emergency supplies, likely at an inflated price.

What else do they have, if they believe something like this?

"Actually he was 100% competent during and after and has continued to show pretty good leadership on handling things."


But the mob boss already knows how gullible they are...

How he gets away with lying so much: “Look, you just tell them and they believe it. That’s it: you just tell them and they believe. They just do.”

 

[BWG]

Yep, the administration was just not busy enough - they need to focus on keeping Pelosi more informed. Perhaps, they can start by finding out why a Kennedy Center bailout was so necessary.

You noticed how the rank and file cons shut up about the Kennedy Center when the mob boss said he liked it?
