'A jumbled mess': GOP insiders say James Comer catching ire as impeachment fizzles

For weeks now, House Republicans have grown increasingly sour on their prospects of impeaching President Joe Biden as their investigation fails to yield the evidence they were hoping for — and, according to CNN, Republicans are frustrated at House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY), a key leader in the project.

'Another frivolous action': Jim Jordan slammed for latest House investigation

The House Judiciary Committee, led by far-right Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), issued a subpoena to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis Friday over claims that her office misused federal grant funds and fired a whistleblower.
