Democrat operatives announced they’re reviving a partisan watchdog group to investigate the Republicans who are preparing congressional investigations into the Biden Administration.
The Congressional Integrity Project (CIP) announced Wednesday that it is planning a multi-million-dollar effort to investigate House Republicans and “expose the reality behind the politically motivated oversight and investigations targeting President Biden.”
Politico first reported the initiative.

Americans are tired of Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans, but Congressional Republicans, like @Jim_Jordan and @RepMTG, are planning to use their majority to investigate and stop progress. It's the same old Trump playbook. The American people deserve better. pic.twitter.com/V1egKGA1LB

As Republicans rail on Attorney General Garland’s decision to appoint a Special Counsel to investigate President Trump, we wanted to remind everyone of the hypocrisy of this outrage. 👉 https://t.co/3gEA8ffyRK

It sounds like a desperate Democrat attempt to prevent a legitimate investigation into Biden’s anti-America agenda and betrayal to the American people.
“The Congressional Integrity Project will investigate the investigators, expose their political motivations and the monied special interests supporting their work, and hold them accountable for ignoring the urgent priorities of all Americans in order to smear Joe Biden and do the political bidding of Trump and MAGA Republicans,” CIP executive director Kyle Herrig said in a statement.
Even without a mandate, MAGA Republicans in Congress have started outlining their priorities for 2023: relentlessly investigating Joe Biden, historic impeachments of Cabinet Secretaries, and likely efforts to impeach Biden himself.
In August, Representative Jim Jordan, set to chair the Judiciary Committee, even admitted Republicans plan to use the investigations to “frame up the 2024 race when I hope and I think President Trump is going to run again. And we need to make sure that he wins.” Jordan and other Republican leaders made investigations a focal point of their closing message to voters, by detailing their plans and even announcing a post-election press conference.
“Now is the time to expose this MAGA Republican party for what it truly is,” said Kyle Herrig, executive director of the Congressional Integrity Project. “Congressional Republicans have telegraphed their plans for two years ever since Donald Trump lost the presidency. The Congressional Integrity Project will investigate the investigators, expose their political motivations and the monied special interests supporting their work, and hold them accountable for ignoring the urgent priorities of all Americans in order to smear Joe Biden and do the political bidding of Trump and MAGA Republicans. We are confident that when Americans see the real motivations and the facts behind these efforts, the hearings will backfire on Congressional Republicans.”
Instead of working with President Biden to curb inflation, lower costs for families, and keep our country strong, Congressional Republicans have already said they plan just to investigate, impeach, and impede progress. As the rest of the country wonders how the newly elected Congress will act to address these issues, MAGA Republicans are plotting their revenge.
The Daily Wire reported:
Republicans will retake the House with a slim majority next year, gaining control of committees and the direction of investigations. Rep. Jim Comer (R-KY), expected to be the next chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said Thursday that he plans to probe Biden’s ties to foreign business deals orchestrated by his son Hunter.
“This is an investigation of Joe Biden, the president of the United States, and why he lied to the American people about his knowledge and participation in his family’s international business schemes,” Comer said in a press conference, adding that the potential misconduct is an issue of national security.

The Congressional Integrity Project will be a Democrat-led effort to harass Republicans and impede investigations into the Biden Administration.
Cont. from The Daily Wire:
CIP will be led and advised by operatives with deep ties to the Democratic administrations of Biden and former President Barack Obama. Leslie Dach will serve on the group’s leadership team. He previously working in the Obama administration and advised the Biden administration on its COVID-19 response. Jeff Peck, an adviser for CIP, has worked with Biden for years, including when the president was in the U.S. Senate.
CIP will be supported and work in conjunction with other Democrat-directed groups, including Facts First USA, a project of the Democratic consultant David Brock, according to The New York Times. The GOP has been reportedly working with its own friendly outside groups in prepping investigations into the Biden administration.
