Senate Democrats see ‘insidious’ GOP trap on Biden
This Wednesday, the Senate Homeland Security Committee’s chambers were filled with something that the Senate is likely to hear a lot of through November: the sweet sound of yelling about Joe Biden.
Ultimately, that subpoena was approved on a party-line vote. And a similar scene is likely to play out soon on the Senate GOP’s other investigatory front: probing the origins of the investigation into the Trump campaign and Russia in 2016. The Senate Judiciary Committee, led by Sen.
Hill Democrats do have a burden to “call bullshit,” said Josh Schwerin, a top strategist at the Democratic super PAC Priorities USA who was a spokesperson for Clinton’s 2016 campaign. “I agree they should not give it more air than it needs to have... but congressional Democrats have the resources to dig in on this stuff and debunk a lot of it in real time. They can head it off from becoming a bigger issue. It doesn’t mean a rapid-response, war room effort, it means being on top of it.
For example, the focus of Graham’s nascent investigation—the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s 2016 investigation into the Trump campaign—has already gotten an extensive probe by the Department of Justice inspector general, which ultimately found serious mistakes in the FBI’s treatment of the Trump campaign, but no evidence of systemic political bias.
But it was official U.S. policy and international consensus that Biden was reflecting in opposing Shokin, and claims that either Biden broke the law or otherwise committed any misdeeds have been largely debunked. But Ukrainian politicians aligned with Russia have sought to push the narrative that Biden acted corruptly as vice president with respect to Burisma: one of them, Andriy Derkach, released leaked calls between Biden and former Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko this week.
The day after the testy hearing in Johnson’s committee, most Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee did not show up for a meeting on Thursday to advance Graham’s investigation, and the minority delayed the hearing on the subpoena to the following week.
