Hasan: GOP’s ‘Bogus Investigations’ Keep Going and Going Because They Work, They Just Get to Attack Hillary Again and Again

EXCERPT:

HASAN: “Sen. Ron Johnson told 'The Hill' earlier this spring that the President's son and Dr. Anthony Fauci would be prime targets of a GOP Senate if the party wins back control of Senate committees in November. Asked what he, Johnson, specifically would want to investigate, here's what the Wisconsin GOP senator had said: 'Like everything? It's like a mosquito in a nudist colony, it’s a target-rich environment.' Which is odd, considering that in the days before his committee released its report in the run-up to the 2020 elections, his report into Hunter Biden, this is how Senator Johnson set expectations for his Hunter Biden probe, even as he wouldn’t shut up about the report's alleged findings. Quote, 'Mr. Johnson conceded in an interview that there would be no massive smoking gun, saying that there was a misconception on the part of the public that there would be.' Did you get that? You're wrong for expecting anything to be there, but he’s not gonna stop talking about the findings of his report, which are not much, really. It’s maddening, but this also smart from the GOP point of view. These GOP bogus investigations, they're a pattern. They keep going and going and going, because for the Republicans, they work. Just this week, on Tuesday, a federal jury found Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann not guilty of lying to the FBI. He was acquitted. It all flowed from the Trump Administration-era John Durham probe into the origins of the FBI’s investigation into Trump’s ties to Russia. Durham was supposed to find the smoking gun for the GOP. The fact that he didn't doesn’t matter to the GOP. They got to attack Clinton again and again.”
