Every Republican in Congress owns what Trump has done, is doing and is going to do. The vast majority of it would not have been possible without their collective acquiescence and enabling. He’s emboldened by the fact that Congress refuses to function as a separate branch of govt.
Comer is pushing hard to bring Leon Black before our committee. I agree. He should testify. Let’s keep that same energy for Todd Blanche, Chairman Comer. He oversaw the release of the Epstein files, including files that exposed survivors’ private info. He needs to come in too.
