Trump was smart his first term and didnt try to do it, hopefully he does that again, find other ways to get them back.
I'm not in favor of impeaching Biden after he left office. It was ridiculous when Democrats tried Trump after the end of his term, and it would be ridiculous for Republicans to impeach Biden now.

However, unlike both impeachments of Trump, there is very compelling evidence that Biden was guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors. But, I agree that impeaching Biden now would be a waste of valuable time and it would set a dangerous precedent. 

That being said, it is important that Congress investigate the shenanigans of the Biden administration to deter a repeat of the same illegal acts in the future.

Congress was involved in it, are they gonna investigate themselves.   Thats my point, its useless, what was done is done.  Looking back does nothing.
The difference is the previous investigations were nothing but whitewashes conducted by committees controlled by Democrats. In other cases, witnesses lied under oath, ignored subpoenas,etc., and the crooked Biden DoJ refused to enforce any charges against members of the Biden administration. 

It is very important to hold people accountable for criminal wrongdoing. Another thing that has changed is that people who have been pardoned can no longer refuse to answer questions by invoking the Fifth Amendment.

This is a different Congress than it was a few months ago and we have a legitimate Attorney General in charge of the DoJ. Pam Bondi will enforce contempt rulings fairly and without regard to party affiliation.

Oversight of federal agencies is a very important constitutional responsibility of Congress. Meeting its constitutional obligations is not a waste of time.


You do realized that 96% of incumbents in Congress were re-elected right, so its the same group of people, who are going to investigate themselves.  

Lets not waste more of our money and things from yesterday, and worry about things for tomorrow.
You misunderstand the significance of an election that resulted in Republicans capturing control of the House, the Senate, and the presidency. The minority party has very little say in the results of investigations or anything else in our system. When you add an extremely crooked president and Attorney General to the mix, it is difficult for the party controlling the House or Senate to conduct effective investigations because witnesses can lie and ignore subpoenas with impunity.

You are mostly correct about reelection rates, but the Senate rate was only 88 percent in the 2024 elections, which was enough for Republicans to win the controlling majority of seats. But the most important change in the elections was the defeat of Kamala Harris and the appointment of Pam Bondi as the new Attorney General.

The bottom line is that when Congress subpoenas documents and witnesses for hearings, they will be forthcoming - or somebody will be held accountable for their failure to comply. Witnesses will testify honestly or they will face contempt, obstruction, or perjury charges and the Department of Justice will enforce penalties. That did not happen for the past four years.

What you are suggesting is analogous to only investigating crimes that are committed after a new mayor is elected.

Investigating the corruption of the Biden administration should not be the Republican Congress's top priority, but the 535 House and Senate members are not too overworked to spend part of their time determining what went wrong the past four years and not repeating the mistakes that were made.

Finally, most of the problems of the past four years were the result of a very corrupt president and his administration. Congress has its own problems with corruption, but the worst failure of Congress during the past four years was failing to provide proper oversight of the federal agencies in the executive branch. Biden and his band of outlaws had a free rein for four years and they took full advantage.
