GOP chairman plans first subpoena in Burisma, Biden probe

Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) is planning to force a vote on the first subpoena related to his probe involving Burisma and former Vice President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden.

Johnson sent a letter to members of his committee on Sunday saying that it is his "intention to schedule a business meeting to consider a committee subpoena" to a former consultant for Blue Star Strategies, which Johnson noted worked as a U.S. representative for Ukraine gas company Burisma Holdings.

"As part of the committee's ongoing investigation, it has received U.S. government records indicating that Blue Star sought to leverage Hunter Biden's role as a board member of Burisma to gain access to, and potentially influence matters at, the State Department," Johnson wrote in the letter to committee members.

Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), the top Democrat on the committee, has notified Johnson that he objects to issuing the subpoena over concerns that it could bolster Russian disinformation efforts. Without Peters's support, Johnson will need a simple majority of the GOP-controlled panel to vote to issue the subpoena.

1. Swiftboat redux reduxed

This is all they can do to win elections. Smear, swiftboat, ratf*ck, gerrymander, and voting suppression. That's ALL they do.

10. Swiftboat redux, Whitewater redux, Vince Foster redux...

..."Trashed the White House" redux, Filegate redux, Hairgate redux every other puffed-up horsesh*t "scandal" over the last quarter century redux, ad nauseum.

It's all about generating headlines, a great fogbank of steam rising off a mountain of bullsh*t that they can point to and say "where there's smoke...".

3. Executive Priveldge.

Joe Biden was VPOTUS during this and turnabout is fair play.

6. Great strategy!

However, the Repubs will hypocritically call this obstruction of congress and smear Joe until the cows come home.

12. Who Cares What They Say?

Roll the tapes! Also, we need to hoist the Lynch/Clinton tarmac meeting on the same petard. According to the current administration the POTUS can tell the AG to do whatever. So...

4. Congressional subpoena. Meh.

The hypocrisy and stupidity of Republicans is boundless. Congress has no authority thanks to them.

I was thinking this weekend- well we’re going to hear about Hunter Biden again

Subpoena, subpoena, what’s a subpoena?
Do those things work anymore?
Just spin it around like a Ballerina
And toss it right into the drawer!

8. Good one.

9. Kick and recommend for all to see. Fascist GOP.

[sinkingfeeling]

11. Whoever is subpoenaed should just ignore it. Didn't SCOTUS just

say that it's up to Congress to get someone to honor them?
