As Twitchy just reported, MSNBC Mehdi Hasan asked why Democrats didn’t investigate the Trump family on Day 1 as the House Republicans are planning to do with the Biden family and its shady international business dealings. It didn’t take long for people to pull the receipts for Hasan — that’s exactly what House Democrats did, and have kept doing, and are still doing.
The Left is getting ready for a fight, and the New York Times’ Kenneth Vogel reports that David Brock is leaving Media Matters for America in order to focus on Facts First USA, which will act as a “SWAT team” to counter Republican congressional investigations.
From Media Matters to “Facts First.” Um, OK.
DAVID BROCK is leaving MEDIA MATTERS (@mmfa) & @AMERICAN_BRIDGE to start & run a new 501(c)4, @FactsFirstUSA that aims to raise $5m/year for "A SWAT Team to Counter Republican Congressional Investigations," per memo to Dem donors, outside groups & others. https://t.co/VbFsD1Oxe0

Brock wrote back in late October:
Lacking a forward-looking agenda, and aggrieved by the effectiveness of the January 6th Select Committee, Republicans will spend the next two years aggressively investigating President Biden, members of the Administration, and the President’s family. They will do so without regard to facts, without concern for fairness, and without limitation. They seek to grind down the entire executive branch, to limit the White House’s effectiveness, to halt forward momentum, and to engage in character assassination that distracts from real issues, creates a false perception of corruption, runs up legal bills, and threatens the livelihoods of those caught in their web of lies. Ultimately, their objective is to employ scandal-outrage politics to ensure Democrats lose the presidency in 2024.

We’re actually on board with all of that except for the “false perception” of corruption part. The GOP wants to expose the real corruption.
The Left has been worried for months that a GOP House will come up with “all sorts of nonsense reasons” to impeach Biden every week.
Look, they even have a cute video that’s rated M for “MAGA.”
FACTS FIRST USA plans to use paid advertising, social, legal analysis, polling & research to try to turn the oversight investigations back on Republicans.
It produced this video accusing Republicans of preparing “sham investigations to help elect Trump.” pic.twitter.com/WCLpi5FRYs

Is George Soros funding this also?

If its fundraising goal is only $5 million a year Brock should just write a check.
Lizard.

Is it just me or does this actually read like a pretty heavy indictment of Democrat behaviors over the years?

So David Brock is nothing but a leftist operative.
Cool.

Biden should be exposed if guilty of influence peddling. I'd expect that from either political party. But go ahead and tell the American people that you don't care if Biden is guilty. We're listening to the fact that you will strive to be part of the coverup.

Who’s going to take over at Media Matters and monitor all of Ben Shapiro’s shows?
