Congressional Integrity Project May 6 – May 17, 2024 Summary

May 17, 2024

This week, the Congressional Integrity Project continued to drive the narratives against the baseless, fact-free impeachment attempt of President Biden and the three-ring circus of political stunts MAGA Republicans engaged in to shield Donald Trump from his crimes and harm President Biden politically. 

CIP pushed back as MAGA House Speaker Mike Johnson and other House Republicans traveled to New York City to attend Donald Trump’s criminal trial for business fraud associated with hiding sex with a porn star from voters, Jim Jordan and James Comer used their committees to interfere in Donald Trump’s trials and harm President Biden’s administration by holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt, and the Committee on House Administration hosted a political stunt hearing election deniers and conspiracy theorists to reprised the Big Lie that the 2020 presidential race was stolen and sowed seeds of doubt about the outcome of the 2024 election. 

CIP sent out 17 rapid-response products, including statements, fact sheets, and roundups.

Jim Jordan, James Comer, and other MAGA House Republicans have spent over a year relentlessly investigating President Biden and have not found a single shred of evidence indicating wrongdoing by him – let alone an impeachable offense.

More right-wing commentators continue to pour cold water on James Comer’s evidence-free impeachment.

The Biden 17 and every MAGA House Republican voted to begin this farcical impeachment inquiry into President Biden. For almost a year and a half, the House has focused on this baseless investigation instead of the issues important to their constituents. 

News broke that MAGA House Republicans are drafting articles of impeachment against President Biden over delaying weapons to Israel, based on the articles of impeachment used against President Trump. 

Trump sycophants, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and other House Republicans traveled to New York City for Donald Trump’s criminal trial for business fraud associated with hiding sex with a porn star from voters.

Jim Jordan and his fellow MAGA House Republicans on the Judiciary Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government used their government positions to shield Donald Trump from his multiple criminal charges

If House Republicans were actually concerned about antisemitism and not just political stunts, they would look within their own caucus. 

Republicans on the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees released their latest political stunt today – a report calling for United States Attorney General Merrick Garland to be held in contempt.

The Committee on House Administration held a baseless, political hearing to provide a platform for election deniers and conspiracy theorists

House Oversight Chair James Comer pushed his contempt markup of Attorney General Merrick Garland to 8 pm so Oversight Republicans can take a field trip to New York to attend Trump’s trial.

This week MAGA House Republicans once again proved that they are putting their sycophantic loyalty to Donald Trump above the needs of the American people.
