According to Politico:

Just hours after Joe Biden surged to the top of the Democratic presidential pack, Senate Republicans announced a new phase of their investigation targeting the former vice president and his son Hunter.

Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) told reporters on Wednesday that he is likely to release an interim report within one to two months on his panel’s probe of Hunter Biden’s ties to a Ukrainian gas company, Burisma.

“These are questions that Joe Biden has not adequately answered,” Johnson said. “And if I were a Democrat primary voter, I’d want these questions satisfactorily answered before I cast my final vote.”

Guess the Trumpers are running scared. GOOD!!!

1. The House...

...needs to counter with investigations into Ivanka and Jared.

wanted Bernie to be the nominee and had anything, they would have used it.

3. I think it's too late for this to have an impact

Because it came out through the impeachment hearings, it's not a big scandalous surprise any more. These hearings will likely be akin to Trey Gowdy's Bengazi BS. Nothingbergers.

7. This is "Butter Emails" and "Benghazi!" all over again. :) nt

I'm guessing the Republicans will need nine investigations again to figure out that Joe and Hunter have done nothing wrong.

8. All roads lead back to Trump's impeachment.

This is the problem they have with this particular issue they did not have with Hillary's emails. Trump is a major player in the Ukraine shit. He was not with Hillary's emails.

10. But, but...Barr said no investigations before the election, or did that only mean Democratic-led?

Maybe Johnson won't have to go through Barr, since he's a Repuke. They are just going to embarrass themselves.

11. Winning Formula

Biden's experience + Bloomberg's money + Bernie's passion + Buttigieg's intelligence + Warren's conviction + Klobuchar's humor = Democratic blowout in November

Trump: "Russia, if you're listening...HELLLLLLLLLLLP!"

14. Republicans are most definitely world-class assholes...

but you gotta admit they have a lot of good ideas and solutions to our everyday problems...

"Afraid of dying from the coronavirus? Have a tax cut!"

"Your favorite football team just lost the Super Bowl? Have a tax cut!"

"Can't get a date or get laid? Have a tax cut!"

"Just found out you have an inoperable brain tumor? Have a tax cut!"

"Had to put an old beloved pet to sleep recently? Have a tax cut!"

"Just lost a young child or an elderly parent? Have a tax cut!"

These are just a few examples...they have lots more ideas so please don't sell them short.

13. I swear to God we need to scorch Ivanka til he bleeds out his ears.

Every affair. Every China label. Every plastic surgery. Every grade in every school. Every salacious photo on daddy’s lap.

I would ordinarily be completely against something like this but I have had it up to here with this bullshit!

sort of scrutiny so in this case, as far as I'm concerned, turn about is fair play. And boy is there a ton of material to play with there!

19. I figure Joe's pretty much immune to Burisma by now

but with no vaccine against coronavirus I seriously doubt Americans will have much patience for neverending GOP Ukraine witchhunts while 100s or maybe 1000s of our fellow citizens are dying from a "hoax".
