To the editor:
On a news/opinion broadcast I heard in my car yesterday, all three participants agreed that, should the Republicans retake the House of Representatives in 2023, one of the primary focuses will be a series of investigations. Just as for instance the chairmanship of the Judiciary Committee would pass to Ohio Republican and performance artist, Jim Jordan.
The most likely topics, they suggested, would be: the Justice Department, Hunter Biden and the Biden family, the withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Biden Administration’s response to COVID, “woke capitalism,” and the like. I was amused that no one expected, or even mentioned, the possibility of a bona fide, Republican-led investigation into the most prominent, overwhelming, super-hyped, oxygen-consuming issue of Republican dogma for the last 24 months: the “stolen” 2020 election.
Truckloads of ballots, ballot mules, space-lasered voting machines. Election deniers and doubters, you may soon have the power and our unlimited tax dollars to uncover the truth and thus prove that all those cries of “conspiracy nuts” were ill-founded.
Shouldn’t Americans expect a vigorous, high profile, lavishly funded effort to get at and get out all of the heretofore hidden facts of this national disgrace?
Breath-holding is not recommended.
