'Game, set, match': James Comer dared to go head to head with Liz Cheney in a hearing

Raw Story  

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough dared House Republicans to subpoena the individuals whom president Joe Biden pardoned on Monday. The outgoing president issued preemptive pardons to 51 government officials and other Donald Trump critics, whom many believed would be targeted for prosecution or other persecution as retribution for the former president's own legal troubles, and the "Morning Joe" host questioned the wisdom of holding congressional hearings on their actions. "If you're a strategist thinking about what's best for the incoming president, the new president, do you really want to go back over the handling of Covid?" "Because, yes, you can point to one issue or another issue, but I guarantee you the Jan. 6 committee, I guarantee you Comer, does Loudermilk, do any of these men really want to invite Liz Cheney to Capitol Hill to let her to give her a microphone?" So same thing, are these people really going to give Liz Cheney the microphone and ask her questions and let her talk with 20 million people watching about Jan. 6?
