I’m guessing the congressional investigations will start in the next few weeks or perhaps months.

As soon as the MAGA Republicans get their shit together They couldn’t even elect a speaker in an orderly fashion. And they’ve permanently put McCarthy one vote away from having to defend his leadership position at all times.

It’ll go well I’m sure.
