House Republicans’ oversight of Biden family transgressions has been well-focused and effective, even as elements of the Justice Department have run corrupt interference on the Bidens’ behalf.
Indeed, even last week’s appropriate but minor indictment against the president’s son, Hunter Biden, on gun charges would not have occurred if congressional oversight had been less conscientious.The GOP should not, however, let its prematurely created impeachment inquiry detract from the basic fact-finding mission of its oversight efforts.
First, the abhorrent behavior of the Justice Department, including Attorney General Merrick Garland and Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, needs to be discussed. One reason ordinary congressional oversight is so necessary is to make up for and expose the Justice Department’s willful failures. Even when whistleblower accounts shamed Weiss into a bogus plea deal with Hunter and a somewhat laughable indictment on weapons charges, Weiss still showed no interest in the influence-peddling schemes for which statutes of limitations haven’t yet passed. The main reason we know about this is because of oversight by House and Senate Republicans doing the job the Justice Department won’t.
