Democrats and Republicans Collided this Tuesday in the Lower House USA, under the control of the conservatives, on the initiative of the conservatives Create a committee to investigate FBMe and the other security agencies of the country.
The House is discussing two proposals from Republicans this Tuesday: one of them, forming a committee About what conservatives see as an instrumentalization of the federal government, Democrats warn that it will serve to halt the multitude of investigations against former President Donald Trump (2017-2021).
Another initiative is Creation of a committee to address competition with Chinaboth sides seem to agree more.
After the debate closes, both projects are expected to be voted on in parliament this Tuesday.
In his speech, Republican lawmaker Tom Cole said the new commission to investigate government agencies is “an attempt similar to the famous Church committee that investigated the US intelligence community in the 1970s and uncovered and exposed a series of abuses, most of them against US citizens.” .
This committee, named after the legislator Frank Church, which governs it, Discovered a series of abuses committed by the CIA in the 1970s and other government agencies against US citizens.
These arguments failed to convince the democrats Those who think it’s a conspiracy by “MAGA extremists,” are known to supporters of former President Donald Trump who “kidnapped” the Republican Party, according to progressive lawmaker Jim McGovern.
McGovern complained that the committee’s focus was so diffuse that it would essentially empower Republican Jim Jordan, who is supposed to lead this panel, to “attack anyone or anything he doesn’t like, or what he finds unconstitutional or illegal.”
Jordan is a co-founder of Freedom Caucus, which brought together some of the party’s most radical congressmen and Trump supporters, blocking the election of Republican Kevin McCarthy for four days last week.
According to US media, the subcommittee, which will report to the House Judiciary Committee, Issue subpoenas to compel officials of the FBI and other agencies to testify and turn over documents.
Where both sides seem most compatible is the Republican proposal to create a bipartisan commission to address the rivalry with Beijing.
In his speech, McCarthy said that one of the biggest concerns about the future of the country is that it lags behind “communist China” and that the US should speak with a single voice on Beijing.
He noted that much of this concern stems from the US’s dependence on China. “low”.
“We spent decades passing policies that accepted China into the global system, but instead China exported oppression, aggression, and anti-Americanism,” said the Republican House Majority Leader.
McCarthy acknowledged that this situation did not begin with the current US Administration headed by Democratic President Joe Biden, but this Government reassured him. It has “clearly made it worse” with policies that “worse” the US economy and make it “more vulnerable” to threats from Beijing..
Against this background, McCarthy stated that there was a bipartisan consensus in the legislature that “the era of trusting communist China is over” and therefore the committee, which was voted today and is expected to continue, will be formed. by members of both parties.
After the Republican, California Democrat legislator Ami Bera intervened, who “applauded” McCarthy’s words of his will to make this issue an issue. “American strategy” Y unbiased.
