HOT F*ING SHIT! Jon Ossoff is going to be Chairman of a Senate Subcommittee!!!!!!

[George II]

Sen. Jon Ossoff to chair Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations

Ossoff is the youngest to chair the committee since its inception in 1941 by then Sen. Harry Truman.

WASHINGTON, D.C., USA — Homeland Security Chairman Sen. Gary Peters said Sen. Jon Ossoff's experience as an investigative journalist attributed to his announcement on Wednesday.

Ossoff (D-Ga.) was named Chairman of the U.S. Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations by Peters.

At just 34 years old, Ossoff is the youngest to chair the committee, which was first led by Sen. Harry Truman, who investigated war profiteering from 1941-1948.

After joining the Senate, Ossoff stepped down as CEO of Insight TWI, a 30-year old investigative media production company he led since 2013.

According to a news release from Ossoff's office, under his leadership, the company produced internationally broadcast journalistic investigations of organized crime, official corruption, ISIS atrocities, war crimes committed by peacekeeping troops, corporate abuses, and human trafficking.

“As a former investigative journalist, Senator Ossoff is uniquely qualified to chair this prestigious subcommittee, which is instrumental to holding our nation’s most powerful entities accountable for wrongdoing,” Sen. Peters (D-Mi.) said. “I look forward to working with him to shed a light on fraud, financial crimes, and other kinds of malpractice whether they take place in the public or private sector.”

Ossoff said he looks forward to leading this historic committee.

1. I've been very impressed with his questions so far

[malaise]

2. I like him

He's super smart and appears quite progressive

[Tommymac]

41. Blast from the Past: I'll never forget him for doing this.

Lest we forget. 500,000 will not have the chance to.

[malaise]

42. I remember that well

Sweet sweet!

[Indykatie]

3. Well Done!!!!!!!!!!! Ossoff is a Keeper For Sure

Both GA Senators deserve to have roles that showcase their leadership skills. Warnock has to run again in 2022 so Schumer needs to be sure he gets some media attention.

[True Blue American]

44. Perdue announced then decided not to run

Against Warnock.

One problem on the committee. Ron Johnson is his next in line!

[bamagal62]

4. Wow!!!!

[Funtatlaguy]

5. I am so proud of him. He never gave up after losing multiple political races.

Smart guy.
Extremely well spoken.
And he’s an unabashed liberal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A future superstar in our party.
Maybe America’s first Jewish President?

[CottonBear]

8. As James Carville has said, "You're a loser until you're not."

I’m so proud of my senator! I got to meet him during the final campaign effort here in Georgia.

[bamagal62]

6. Wow!!!!

[sheshe2]

7. Excellent choice.

[gademocrat7]

9. Bravo, Senator Ossoff

Proud of my Senator. He will be an asset to this subcommittee.

[patricia92243]

10. Congrats to us. We are finally getting qualified people.

[japple]

11. I hope he and other members can shove Ron Johnson aside and get the work done.

“This Subcommittee will pursue the truth, inform the public, and hold power to account,” Ossoff said. “I look forward to working with Ranking Member Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and my Subcommittee colleagues to serve the American public.”

Sad to be hamstrung with such an idiot

[3catwoman3]

22. Ron Johnson is just rank.

Stinking idiot.

[Mike Nelson]

12. Yay!

... he's very smart. He is able to speak without a script... loved watching him on FOX interviews... Pete Buttigieg, too... he and Jon were always one step ahead of the FOX hosts!

[patricia92243]

17. I think those two are of the next generation of our leaders.

[Mike Nelson]

18. Yes...

... plus Stacey Abrams and Beto... two "losers" who will be winners... we're all set for the next generation!

[OMGWTF]

13. Once again, deep appreciation and respect to Stacey Abrams for delivering!

She now has her sights on Texas. That's a lot of Electoral votes.

[housecat]

29. and maybe a senator

[RussellCattle]

14. I think that if I could hold a position that Harry Truman once held, I could not stop smiling.

Make us proud, Mr. Ossoff.

[Joinfortmill]

15. Hot damn!

[voteearlyvoteoften]

16. Thank you Georgia voters!

We owe you one.

[PJMcK]

19. That's great!

Senator Ossoff is one of the many faces of the future of America. He's smart, driven and empathetic. Good choice!

[snort]

20. Wow. At the age of 34, I was drunk.

[samnsara]

30. i was in graduate school but i didnt do shit with my degree

...so i was drunk as well!

[wryter2000]

21. I heard that in the hearing

I think we have a star on the horizon.

[KatK]

23. I let out a big whoop at this great news! Go, Jon! n/t

[lillypaddle]

24. Good news, 'cause I think he has a bunch

of assholes on his committee. The ones that I remember are Lankford, Rand Paul, and Ron Johnson.

[SheltieLover]

25. Excellent! 👏👏👏👏

[NNadir]

26. Harry Truman became President in 1945.

In his role as examiner of war profiteering he was asked to pay no attention the funds for the Manhattan Project (about which he knew nothing) and did what he was asked.

[housecat]

27. WOOOHOOOO!!

[Ligyron]

28. Good, 'cause there's a whole lot needs investigating.

Ironically. Starting right there in Georgia.

[LaMouffette]

31. Wow! Congratulations, Senator Ossoff! Thanks again, Stacey Abrams and all GA Dems!!!

[Cha]

32. Brilliant! I really like

him!

[Evolve Dammit]

33. Godspeed Senator. All the best for a long career!

[iluvtennis]

34. Very cool! nt

[2naSalit]

35. Excellent...

I think we might see some real accountability this time. I expect things to look much different in ways we can't imagine right now to come up kind of quick over the next 18 months or so.

It's not like nobody was watching while all this shit went down, the whole five years, Seems like a lot of the right people in the right places at the same time is looking good for our future in some ways.

[FakeNoose]

36. Good luck Senator and do us proud

[calimary]

37. EXCELLENT! Fresh new, young talent.

Reenergizing and revitalizing our Democratic Party.

We need as many as possible! They're the Democrats' future. And one if not more of them is likely destined for the Presidency. Nice to be developing bench strength!

[DFW]

38. For the record

I did congratulate him on his appointment, and he said thanks, he appreciated it. He is NOT an arrogant Republican who says "thanks for supporting me, now get lost." He remembers who helped get him where he is.

[greymattermom]

39. I've been a supporter since the Georgia 6 campaign.

He actually called me. I was shocked, but it was wonderful. I'm a retired professor, and he called me "professor".

[DFW]

45. He pays attention and forgets nearly nothing

Georgia lucked out with him as a Senator. Let‘s hope enough of them realize it. He could easily be the next president from Georgia after Jimmy Carter in 16 years.

[Karma13612]

40. Wow!!!!!

This is awesome and so well deserved!!!!!!

[BobTheSubgenius]

43. Mr. Ossoff is building himself quite a CV.

An impressive work history, a Senate seat, and now the chair of a permanent sub-committee.

All this by the age of 34.

When I was 34, I thought my big achievement was paying off my mortgage.
