Congress is essentially a failing institution because of the powers granted to majorities that are only there to help them retain power:
Republicans don’t have evidence of any wrongdoing by President Joe Biden — even Fox commentators have acknowledged as much — and they don’t care. The facts are not what’s important to them. Tarnishing Joe Biden politically to ease Donald Trump’s path back to the White House — that’s what matters to them.
It’s a similar playbook to the one they used against Hillary Clinton, called Benghazi.
In 2015, a far-right Republican House majority opened a bogus investigation of Hillary Clinton. Even though there was no evidence of wrongdoing on her part, Kevin McCarthy told Fox News, “Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping.”
