I would like the GOP to explain how this has harmed the American people to such the degree that it requires a congressional investigation. I'm also fine with sacrificing him to shut the republicans up about this nonsense.

He will be there to torpedo this administration. That will be is sole purpose, the same way that McConnel was there solely to obstruct Obama. And that, he can do very well.
Prepare for 2 years of Hunter Biden being on the floor every other day, plus Fauci giving the same testimony over and over again.
This is probably the best time for a small/medium cadre of republicans dump the extremism, go back to mildly rational legislators, and maybe help fully take trumpism down. folks seem to have soured somewhat on him. Like Dry said it's only a likely 6 votes.....(Liz Cheney and Adam Ratzinger can't have been the only ones, there's gotta be a couple more spines)

Because you have a "only two parties" system, when one of them is in power, the other has none. Zero.
So this man may be as eloquent as can be. As smart as can be. And the GOP could not care less. That's how the system works.
I vehemently disagree, ponchi. If Republicans get the likely 5-vote majority that's predicted, then Democrats in the House only need to find 6 reasonable Republicans to go along with their...
You mean 6 Republicans who don't want to be reelected in two years, right? ;)

And, from the annals of "People with zero introspection capacity":
Ivanka Trump was unhappy about how her friends 'turned their backs' on her during her father's administration, report says

Yes, sure. Those bad people that stopped talking to you when you became part of a criminal enterprise, and it came clear that you are part of the most corrupt family in the USA.
The poor darling.

To be fair, she's been a member of a criminal enterprise for a long time, and it didn't bother her 'friends' then, and probably most of them are part of criminal enterprises of their own.

I used to live right by the Kushner's home in the DC, so when I ran by their house on my daily run, I would yell F-Trump every time. On the few occasions I would actually see the Kushners, I would yell loudly that they were criminals, and sometimes their children were with them. That was one way I got through living through those 4 years.

Guys the exclusive school they were sending their kids to asked them to leave, they being the Kushners.
Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump moved their kids to a new school after parents complained about the couple not following coronavirus protocols
