House GOP drops plan to hold FBI director in contempt

The Republican-led House Oversight Committee on Wednesday dropped its plans to advance a measure holding FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress.

Why it matters: The contempt push was the closest House Republicans have come to direct action against an executive branch official as part of their vast array of probes into the Biden administration.

The House Foreign Affairs Committee similarly scrapped its plans last month to target Secretary of State Antony Blinken with contempt.

GOP lawmakers have also inched closer to impeachment proceedings against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

6. Comer and his band of MAGA morons

don't get the days of fear of subpoena non-compliance are gone..four reasons..(1) Jordan, Biggs, McCarthy ignoring a J6 committee subpoena (2) the House Dems quick to expose and ridicule the "get Biden/protect Trump" motives behind the threat of a subpoena (3) Mark Pomerantz shredding Jim Jordan and Jordan's attempt to evoke testimony from a savvy witness (4) a DOJ more than happy to respond to House demand-or-else letters with a polite "go fuck yourself"....

Stuff always backfires on these people. It's like a Law of the Universe.

Jeffries, Goldman, Raskin, Moskowitz, Garcia, Connelly for hammering the MAGA cretins and their bogus motives behind their threats of a subpoena and the presence of under indictment prolific liar George Santos..and kudos to podcasters highlighting MAGA buffoonery in quasi real time...
