QUESTION ASKED: Who would want to be Joe Biden’s attorney general?

Whoever Biden nominates will face blunt questions about these issues from the Senate Judiciary Committee and will undoubtedly pledge to leave prosecutorial decisions about the Bidens to career professionals, not political appointees. If the nominee served in the Obama-era DoJ, he or she will have to explain the department’s role in the Russia collusion investigation and FISA-abuse scandals as well. Those questions will be much harsher if Republicans control the Senate after the Georgia runoffs.

FASTER, PLEASE: Ted Cruz, Preserving Trump Legacy, Heads Off Biden At The Pass On Rejoining Iran Deal, Paris Climate Accords. Cruz, “taking heed of Joe Biden’s public pronouncements indicating he would rejoin the Paris Agreement and rejoin the Iran nuclear deal, sent a letter to President Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that would head Biden off at the pass, asking Trump to submit the deals as treaties, thus forcing any such actions by Biden to be submitted to the Senate for approval.”

JAMES BOVARD: 11th-hour COVID-19 relief deal proves again that Congress is unfit to govern.

After the pork-ridden “stimulus” bill of over a decade ago, the Insta-Dad commented that the political class had just figured out that the federal government could borrow a lot more money than they had thought, and that this was likely to end badly.
