On this week’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Rep. James Comer (R-KY) told FNC host Maria Bartiromo that the level of obstruction from federal agencies and the Biden legal team was unprecedented for the House Oversight Committee.
“We know, talking to the banks, that they’re under considerable pressure not to cooperate with us,” he said. “I have been saying for months, Maria, that we are facing obstruction like has never been demonstrated in the history of congressional investigations. Not only are we being obstructed by the Biden legal team. We’re being obstructed by the Department of Justice. We’re being obstructed by the FBI, by the Secret Service,

Please keep your investigation going at all cost. Use every tool or weapon available to bring out the truth. You are the only institution of our government left to fight off the corruption and keep us from falling into a totalitarian abyss.

Talk, talk, talk - mean while our government is crumbling, we have people locked up from January 6th that did nothing wrong. Where is there no cash bail? The economy is in the tank. The Biden Cartel is in tact, and someone is running the USA ( or a consortium) who hates our Country and want it destroyed. Enough with the talk, do something.

Stop yakking on talk shows and use that energy for fruitful results, Rep. Comer. Gather all these Fed-up colleague committee members, House Freedom Caucus members (who have gone silent AGAIN for quite awhile now) and pressure that crooked Kevin McCarthy to defund them till they cooperate.
There are tools they can use and never ever do!

The Republicans need to find better lawyers who know how to fight and also stronger publicists to get the truth out despite the MSMs continually doing their best to obfuscate and deny everything the Rats are doing daily.

Transparency means nothing to those wearing obstructive blinders - oversight is NOT something they like ... with The Sniffer's regime all government agencies can be ordered to reject cooperation.
Elections have consequences, and Americans' freedoms are being eroded every day.

Maybe it's time to realize you're not playing by the same rules, but they are using your desire to use the old-time protocols and procedures against you.

getting this repub delegation to act as a single body and make substantive changes to what is going on in D.C. is like herding cats
the obvious difference between the repubs and the demcommies is this:
a.) the repubs play the game by the rules
b.) the demcommies play the game and make up the rules as they go along
you can' t beat an opponent who plays the game the way the demcommies do so the only solution is to play the game as they do and wait until they complain and tell them to "pound sand"

They are laughing at you. Target a few and arrest them, if you can find men willing to risk careers taking on the agencies with no accountability. Your lawyers are weak, your threats meaningless, no one is afraid of you, Without actual fear, no rat will comply and that fear has to be greater than the targeted rats fear of their own party. EVERY one of them knows the deal with Vince Foster, Marc Rich and many others. You are in a war for your survival and the countries survival. Fight a lot harder or die with the rest of us.

"will we be obstructed by the new special counsel, David Weiss, investigating this?” Of course you will, that is precisely why he was appointed.

Congress may investigate criminal conduct, but it does not have the authority to bring criminal charges or initiate a criminal prosecution; however, they may refer the case along with evidence to the Department of Justice for further investigation and possible prosecution.
See the problem with this? The current Justice Department has shown that they will not indict Hunter Biden no matter how much evidence Congress has exposed for the country to see.
However, Congress does have the sole power to impeach the President. I think that is where all this is heading. Comer and his associates are exposing more and more evidence for impeachment every week and every indication is that there is more to come. This effort needs to continue deep into the next campaign season when irrefutable proof of Biden’s corruption and criminal activities can be exposed in one neat package during a televised Senate impeachment hearing. Put the pressure on Democrat Senators to defend obvious corruption in a public forum.
In the meantime, I hesitate being critical of the only Republicans that are actually fighting for justice.

You are facing obstruction? That's all you can say? You have the power of purse. Stop their salaries and make them spit out the documents

Yawn.”we can’t do anything because they are obstructing us!”
Yet another excuse why being feckless, useless and accomplishing nothing is ok, send more money and votes!
File contempt charges. Actually impeach cabinet members (since you don’t have the balls apparently to impeach the big guy). Odd how the Democrats never seem to have this problem.

The majority of people working for the US Government, specifically the Biden administration, are corrupt, non-patriotic thugs who would stop at nothing, including murder, to hold on to power and keep their enemies from removing them. By enemies I not only mean non-democrats but the American people in general. Democrat voters maintain the illusion that "their" party is running things but they are the biggest suckers of all. Government agencies do not question unconstitutional orders, they carry them out with glee. Both the FBI and the Secret Service have taken a serious downhill plunge during and after the Obama administration, embarrassing the US abroad and at home. There was the prostitute scandal in Brazil and the FBI putz who dropped his Glock on the dance floor and it shot somebody in the foot. Lt. Michael Leroy Byrd is not the only incompetent AA hire in Washington. The IRS, ATF and EPA stepped over the line long ago. Before Obama that never would have happened. Innocent people were shot while attempting to protect their own property. It's long past time for us to take the gloves off, draw the swords and unholster the other weapons, like they do with us. As Aretha Franklin once asked, "Who's doin' who?" Government "by the people" comes first in that famous phrase for a reason. All we want is equal justice under the law but apparently that is too much to ask so it's time to demand.
