New GOP leader suddenly against House investigations since GOP lost

By Dan Desai Martin - December 11, 20182

Kevin McCarthy loved the Benghazi investigation and 'swore' Trump was on Putin's payroll. But now he's singing a different tune.

With his party soon to be out of power, soon-to-be House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) wants Congress to continue to abdicate its constitutional oversight duties.

In a recent interview with Fox News, McCarthy had the audacity to warn Democrats against investigating Trump when they assume the majority in January.

“It looks like what they’re going to focus on is more investigations,” McCarthy said, adding, “I think America is too great a nation to have such a small agenda.”

This position is quite the flip-flop for McCarthy. Before the 2016 election, McCarthy was ecstatic about the GOP-led sham investigation into the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi.

Republican power, thats it. Voter suppression, investigations all that. They spin it to sound good with words of "transparency" and "integrity", but the only thing these laws and investigations are designed to do is continue GOP power for as long as possible. And then when they lose they flip the script and blame Dems for investigating or not working in a bi partisan manner. Heck they'll even change the rules and strip elected leaders of power on the way out the door and claim its for the differing branches of government having equal power (nevermind that they could've also done that with a Republican Gov in power).

I think McCarthy has too small a brain to have such a grand opinion.

There, now we're even.
