I never said you were lying.

I do question your unwavering support and trust of Chairman Michael Conaway and his committee. You still have not answered the question. With respect to your op, did the right winger open a special investigation into the matter?

Here is the head of the committee that the op is using against a good progressive. It is directly stated in the article linked.

Chairman Michael Conaway, R-Texas

https://conaway.house.gov/

Here is a part of his bio

"As a Christian, I believe that God knows us and fills us with life at the moment we are conceived. I am a strong supporter of the right to life and am committed to protecting the lives of all people, especially those unable to protect themselves.

Access to health services for low-income women is an important goal, and it is one that can be realized without supporting a practice that many Americans find morally repugnant. I will continue to support legislation that restricts the federal funding of abortion facilities and organizations that provide abortions."

This is the head of the committee you are using to attack a good progressive. I have seen this before against progressives. The person you are attacking, with the help of a right winger, is excellent on immigration reform and a whole host of progressive issues. Those opposed to progress make it their goal to marginalize such people at all costs. You have gone as far as to give merit to Michael Conway in order to do so. I went no further than the first link in your op. It is a right wing hit job. It is the only way to view it. You are using a committee, headed up by the republicans, to smear a good progressive.

Said article is over a year old. What was the outcome of Mr. Conways investigation?
