Democrats nix GOP investigations

You won’t find House Republicans calling for investigations into the Biden administration.

It’s not because they don’t want to. It’s not because none are warranted.

Rather, it’s because House Democrats have been slipping language into House rules starting in March that essentially blocks Republicans from using a “resolution of inquiry,” according to publicly available documents reviewed by CNN. A resolution of inquiry allows a lawmaker to formally request information from the executive branch. It’s doesn’t have the kick of a subpoena, but for a member of the minority party, it’s a good investigative tool.

Members of the GOP are none too happy — they want to shine the spotlight on the fiasco in Afghanistan.

If you’ve heard the term resolution of inquiry before, it’s because House Democrats threw them around like confetti when Donald Trump was president, investigating everything from his taxes to Russia.

How times change.
