Wow, the Democrats are really flailing at this House Oversight Committee hearing with two IRS whistleblowers who say the Justice Department interfered with the IRS investigation into Hunter Biden. They'd rather talk about Donald Trump's impeachment, which says they don't have much to refute the claims of the whistleblowers.
The FBI's credibility is shot, the Justice Department is pretty obviously lying about the whole affair, and the IRS? It's getting some 87,000 new people to look at Venmo transactions over $600.
Dems have sided with the security state and are affronted at any attempt to demean those hardworking FBI agents. Democratic Rep. Kweisi Mfume has even rewritten the Constitution — in his view, checks and balances are provided by the DOJ, the FBI, and the IRS, which work in tandem to "keep this democracy in check."
Rep Kweisi Mfume (D-MD) just said one of the most disturbing and insane things a member of Congress has ever said:

Excuse us?
Please go read the Constitution. It’s not the job of the DOJ, FBI, or IRS to “keep democracy in check” or to "provide the checks and the balances." @RepKweisiMfume said the quiet part out loud. This is how President Biden’s allies view the job of the DOJ. pic.twitter.com/ahF5dlKKNB

None of which existed when the constitution was written

Yeah, we see that.
The KGB also kept the USSR in check.

He thinks the administrative state provides the necessary checks and balances for our Constitutional Republic? I want him to show me where that is in our Constitution. Hint: he may want to study our Constitution a bit more.

Truly unqualified

Remember folks, when you hear the word democracy, replace it with the words "our power".

A Republican had better win in 2024 and start cleaning house, for real this time.
All Representatives and Senators should have to pass a basic civics test before being allowed to serve. This is ridiculous.

Time to desolve all 3.

Unelected bureaucrats should have no power over the people

They want friendly unelected bureaucrats to check the people they don't like, regardless of having the legal right to do so.. That's it. That's what he wants. Ultimate power.

What he's suggesting is frightening, and it's also frightening that someone like him could become a member of Congress. So Dems now think the three branches of government are the DOJ, the FBI, and the IRS.
