    I mean, the GOP is very busy.

    Why continue investigating something that perhaps showed foreign and domestic influence peddling under Trump?

    Indeed, locked into a plethora of investigations such as Hunter Biden's art and the the Trump negotiated withdraw from Afghanistan, Far be it for House GOP members to finish up looking at their own veritable golden calk rife with scandal.

    The Republican-controlled House is ending a yearslong probe into former President Donald Trump’s finances and whether his businesses benefited while he was president, The New York Times reported, as GOP lawmakers focus on investigating the Biden family’s connections to Chinese businesses.

    The House Oversight Committee will not enforce a court-supervised settlement agreement that required Trump’s former accounting firm, Mazars USA, to provide the committee with Trump’s financial documents, Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) told the Times.


    Comer claimed he was unaware of the nuances of the investigation into Trump’s finances led by the committee when it was under Democrats’ control, telling the Times “I honestly didn’t even know who or what Mazars was.”

    The Democrats had their chance. It's time for the Republicans to prove they are more competent.

    You guys have already determined that Trump is poorer now than when he first took office so he obviously didn't profit from being president.

    I don't know who "you guys" may be. I have long contended, based on my observations, Trump is not worth a dime.

    Just sayen, Trump is worth less now than when he first became president so, obviously, he hasn't benefited financially from being president the same as other ex-presidents have.

    Well, that could be because he is a really, really bad businessman, given his long history of failure.

    The TDS'rs want to investigate his finances, claiming he profited from being president, when obviously, he did not.

    It used to be that authoritarians investigated themselves and found no wrong doing, now they stop the investigations into themselves and come to the same conclusion.

    Love it!

    Wowzer! That helps clear the boards for creating a number of committees to look into Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton's email server, Mr. Hunter Biden's laptop and the withdrawal from Afghanistan!

    This armchair observer of the passing parade can hardly wait.

    Regards, stay safe 'n well . . . 'n enjoy the Washington Follies. It's the greatest show on earth.

    We will all be dead before the GOP gets close to proving they are competent.

    GOP has no shot in 2024 if they run a twice impeached traitorous former POTUS or the fascist in Florida. LOL

    The verdict is out on that one. If they fail to deliver on holding people accountable (as they claim) it won't look good for them.
