There are weeks on Capitol Hill where one story dominates.<\/p>\n

Last week it was the defense bill.<\/p>\n

But when the former President of the United States appears headed toward another indictment, you know what prevails.<\/p>\n

IN THE SENATE, TIME IS PARAMOUNT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

This is just not former President Trump<\/a> duking it out with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Nor is this Mr. Trump facing prosecution over his handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.<\/p>\n

This is a likely indictment connected to the riot at the Capitol and efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.<\/p>\n

And even though former President Trump hasn\u2019t been in office in two-and-a-half-years, he still manages to command nearly every cubic centimeter of news oxygen and political conversations on Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n

Word of additional legal action followed a familiar script on Capitol Hill. Many of Mr. Trump\u2019s fiercest loyalists rushing to defend him. Then there were a few Republicans spinning or slightly distancing themselves from former President Trump. Democrats \u2013 per usual \u2013 went all in, excoriating the former President.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s absolute bull—-,” proclaimed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., one of Mr. Trump\u2019s closest allies. “This is the only way the Democrats have to beat President Trump is to arrest him. Smear him. Charge him with ridic, useless charges. All they want is a coverup of Joe Biden\u2019s crimes. Hunter Biden\u2019s crimes.”<\/p>\n

Greene said that the American justice system was “worse than some of the most corrupt, third world countries.” She then proclaimed that Mr. Trump “is proven innocent time and time and time again and he\u2019ll be proven innocent again.”<\/p>\n

And now for a diametrically-opposed view from the Democrats<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“There will be criminal accountability for everybody who committed crimes against the government,” said Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee. “We\u2019re talking about a violent insurrection, surrounding an insider, political coup. This is a matter of the utmost pressing urgency to the American people to make sure we never relive something like that.”<\/p>\n

“The President was a central figure in an effort to overturn an election. An effort to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power for the first time in our history,” said Mr. Trump\u2019s nemesis, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif.<\/p>\n

Schiff served on the House\u2019s panel investigating the 2021 riot at the Capitol<\/a>. However, the California Democrat wondered why it may have taken so long to target the former President.<\/p>\n

“They moved quickly when it came to those who broke into this building behind us and assaulted police officers. But it seemed like almost a year, if not more, before they started looking at those who did the organizing. Did the inciting. Those who conspired to defraud the American people.”<\/p>\n

Schiff then suggested that the 1\/6 committee “unearthed evidence that the Justice Department could not ignore.”<\/p>\n

HOUSE REPUBLICANS NARROWLY PASS CONTROVERSIAL DEFENSE BILL<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

That said, there was consternation at one point by prosecutors that the 1\/6 committee wasn\u2019t helpful in providing information to the DoJ<\/a> for potential criminal probes.<\/p>\n

In fact, much of the week in Congress was about 2024 \u2013 even though it didn\u2019t appear<\/i> to be about 2024.<\/p>\n

The House Oversight Committee heard from two senior IRS whistleblowers who claim that Hunter Biden should have faced felony charges over his tax returns rather than a misdemeanor as part of his plea deal.<\/p>\n

“They were recommending for approval, felony and misdemeanor charges for the 2017, \u201818 and \u201819 tax years. That did not happen here. And I am not sure why,” testified IRS agent Joseph Ziegler.<\/p>\n

Democrats said the IRS whistleblowers weren\u2019t responsible for deciding who is prosecuted and what charges they may face. Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss said he had the ultimate authority to bring charges. But the whistleblowers \u2013 and many Republicans \u2013 believe pressure from above handcuffed prosecutors.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve got the two best agents in the place on the case,” said House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio. “And then, \u2018Shazam!\u2019 Something changes.”<\/p>\n

At one point in the hearing, Greene warned everyone that “viewer discretion was advised.” She then displayed lewd poster boards of Hunter Biden in compromising positions.<\/p>\n

“It’s very serious that Hunter Biden was paying this woman through his law firm and then writing it off as business tax exemptions,” said Greene.<\/p>\n

Republicans claim that Hunter Biden\u2019s tax issues<\/a> and overseas business dealings are connected to President Biden and demonstrate rampant corruption. But before the hearing, Raskin predicted that no matter what the GOP did, they wouldn\u2019t demonstrate wrongdoing by the President.<\/p>\n

This is why the hearing oozed with 2024 presidential politics. Democrats contend the GOP only held the hearing to target the President.<\/p>\n

“I think (House Oversight Committee) Chairman (James) Comer, R-Ky., might have to fill out a FEC form as an in-kind contribution to the Trump campaign based on what’s going on in this hearing,” proclaimed Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla.<\/p>\n

But amid the looming indictment for former President Trump, Republicans said the hearing only underscored two standards of justice in the U.S. One for the Bidens. Another for Mr. Trump.<\/p>\n

“The DoJ, the FBI and the IRS have worked to not only protect the criminal actions of the Biden family, but to continue persecuting President Trump,” said Rep. William Timmons, R-S.C.<\/p>\n

The intensity of that rhetoric will only grow once the feds formally indict the President. The extent of the indicment and what it alleges about Mr. Trump\u2019s actions related to the election and the riot will amplify the invective the GOP hurls at prosecutors and the Biden Administration. And what Democrats say about the former President and Republicans.<\/p>\n

This is why some Republicans now want to expunge the two impeachments of former President Trump. However, it\u2019s far from clear that the House would ever consider such a resolution – let alone have the votes to approve such an expungement.<\/p>\n

That said, Republicans presented a big platform this week to Mr. Biden\u2019s top 2024 challenger, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Kennedy testified at a hearing about censorship and the weaponization of government.<\/p>\n

“This committee has come to embody weaponization itself,” said Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass.<\/p>\n

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., characterized RFK Jr. as “a living, breathing, false flag operation” for his views on the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Kennedy drew criticism for declaring that COVID-19 was “engineered” in a way to grant immunity to persons of Chinese and European Jewish descent.<\/p>\n

The week ended without an indictment for former President Trump. That gives lawmakers fodder to spar over next week.<\/p>\n

However, there\u2019s a House Oversight Committee hearing scheduled next Wednesday on UFO\u2019s. Perhaps that\u2019s the only subject which could upstage the prospective indictment of the former President.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
