Last week, The ReidOut blog covered the relaunch of the Democrat-led watchdog Congressional Integrity Project. In essence, the organization plans to function as a rapid response team that will help Democrats push back against any conspiratorial claims that emerge from GOP committees once Republicans are in the House majority next term.
And they’re wasting no time. On Thursday, the Congressional Integrity Project released a video throwing down the gauntlet and rightly denouncing the GOP’s likely Biden administration probes for being blatantly political. Republicans have spent the past two years vowing to pursue conspiracy theories related to a host of topics, including Hunter Biden, the Covid pandemic, the Jan. 6 attack and immigration.
Here’s how the Congressional Integrity Project laid out the stakes.
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

The group also released a short statement Friday highlighting GOP lawmakers’ hypocritical outrage over Attorney General Merrick Garland appointing of a special counsel to oversee two criminal investigations into former President Donald Trump.
Trump-loving Republicans (and Trump himself) had a conniption, predictably. But the Congressional Integrity Project responded almost immediately with a statement titled “The Trump Prosecutors Republicans Don’t Want to Talk About Today,” which focused on special prosecutors appointed by the Trump administration to investigate Hunter Biden, as well as the DOJ’s probe of ties between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia.
