Newsom Failed to Publicly Disclose SVB Ties
"Intercept reported yesterday, the governor Newsom did not tell anybody while he lobbied for the bailout that he had three businesses, Cato debt and pump check, three wineries owned by Newsom, clients of SVB. If that is in fact correct, should Gavin Newsom be testifying before the House oversight committee of the banking committee. Well, he might end up testifying for a grand jury as well if that's correct. I do think that there is probably a lot of feather betting among people who are pumping the administration full of panic to get them to bail out Silicon Valley bank or brown on Twitter all day long all week long, talking about how the entire banking

Rep. James Comer Lays Out the Oversight Committee's Strategy
"Now is James comer, chairman of the House oversight committee, congressman welcome to the program. There's a new axios article. Maybe you could tell us if it's true or not. House, GOP game plan, investigate everything. What's the truth representative comer? The truth is we're going to focus on waste fraud abuse and mismanagement in the federal government. We'll probably have somewhere around 40 or 50 investigations. If you investigated everything, that would be a million things. And axios was being, you know, their typical smart itself in that headline. But at the end of the day, we are going to provide oversight for this administration and the mainstream media and the officials in the Biden administration are just going to have to get used to the fact that the voters spoke and there's a change of guard in Washington D.C.. So no longer will Congress be turned into blind eye to scandals to wasteful spending unnecessary spending. That day has ended. Now we're going to ask for specific line items of how this administration spending money, we won't receipts. We're going to be doing audit. And we want people to come testify to the committee to explain to the American people their actions. So we were going to be very active in our pursuit for the truth.

You know, what's The New York Times going to say, you know, what might CNN run? Everybody's like, no, that's just going to get it done. And so that's kind of the attitude in the atmosphere right now.

Ex-Twitter execs deny pressure to block Hunter Biden story
"At a Capitol Hill hearing former Twitter executives deny that was pressure to block a story in 2020 about President Biden's son, House oversight committee chair James comer says the story was in the New York Post, involving Hunter Biden's laptop.

But instead, we're talking about hardened to Biden's half fake laptop story. I mean, this is an embarrassment. Republicans maintain social media companies, including Twitter, are biased against them.

Bruce Allen was deposed in private remotely yesterday after getting a subpoena. The Washington Post reports committee chair, Carolyn maloney says, the investigation has uncovered evidence that owner Dan Snyder and his attorneys sent private investigators to the homes of former team cheerleaders asking derogatory information about Allen.
