Rep. Eli Crane Discusses Continuing Resolution Battle, Says Speaker Kevin McCarthy Should Be REMOVED for Violating Agreement With Conservatives

Congressman Eli Crane (R-AZ) spoke to The Gateway Pundit yesterday about Biden’s impeachment and the current fight in Congress over a stopgap spending bill and said he would vote to remove McCarthy from his chair.

As The Gateway Pundit reported on Thursday, Crane spoke about the politicized justice system in America and the persecution of peaceful January 6 protestors, who were misled and framed by federal agents. Crane confirmed to The Gateway Pundit that he believes Ray Epps–the only protester caught repeatedly on video on January 6, 2021, urging Trump supporters to enter the US Capitol–was “working with our government.”

As the Government approached a “shutdown” on September 30, RINOs and moderates are trying to pass a continuing resolution to keep the government running. Freedom Caucus members are fighting this measure, arguing that Congress must exercise the Power of the Purse to enforce border laws, end the highly politicized Biden Department of Justice’s political persecution of Americans, and defund Ukraine’s war.

Eli Crane also expresses concerns over the $33 trillion America has accumulated in national debt. “You start doing the math, and it’s not going to be very long before we hit 50 trillion in national debt,” said Crane while reminding us that McCarthy agreed with conservatives to take a hard line on increasing the statutory debt limit in January and setting a cap on discretionary spending.

The continuing resolution supported by moderates and RINOs will not do enough to stop the limitless spending, Biden’s corrupt DOJ, and Biden’s invasion at the southern border.

President Trump recently posted a message on Truth Social calling on Republicans in Congress to “defund all aspects of Crooked Joe Biden’s weaponized Government that refuses to close the Border, and treats half the Country as Enemies of the State.” The President continued, “Use the power of the purse and defend the Country!”

This list of concessions that McCarthy gave to the conservatives reportedly included the following:

Members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus got commitments to be added to the Rules panel. The committee exerts tremendous power by setting the terms of debate but usually operates as a tool of the Speaker. (It traditionally has a 9:4 ratio, so the majority never loses).

McCarthy had already agreed to a five-vote requirement to make the motion, which sets up essentially a vote of no-confidence in the Speaker, and agreed to lower it to a single lawmaker.

McCarthy agreed to take a hard line on increasing the statutory debt limit – which Congress must lift to accommodate spending it has agreed to through appropriations.

The holdouts reportedly got a pledge to get floor votes on term limits and border security. The former in particular could drive a wedge through the conference. McCarthy himself was elected to the House in 2006.

The Conservative Leadership Fund, a PAC backed by McCarthy, brokered a deal with the Club for Growth that will impact Republicans that join the House in the future. The CLF committed to stay out of ‘open’ primaries when a lawmaker vacates a seat. That gives arch-conservatives a chance to prevail in a primary without getting pounded by leadership, which sometimes weighs in on behalf of candidates deemed more ‘electable.’

McCarthy reportedly agreed to allow ‘open rules’ on spending measures, which could lead to lengthy debates and efforts to zero out funding for programs unpopular with Republicans.

Another concession is a cap on discretionary spending, CNN reported. although spending levels are usually negotiated by both chambers – and get influenced by the president’s budget requests.

Republicans are girding to take on the Biden administration, and the conservatives forced a commitment to set up a committee on the ‘weaponization’ of the DOJ. The idea had been floated as a subcommittee on the House Judiciary Committee. Its exact structure and membership were uncertain.

Hunter Biden Suggested Lobbying Democratic Senator Indicted For Bribery, Emails Show

Hunter Biden and his business associates appeared to suggest lobbying indicted Democratic New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez to protect a Spanish rail company after regulators scrutinized the firm, public emails on the younger Biden’s abandoned laptop archive show.

Spanish rail company Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles (CAF) hired Hunter Biden’s investment firm, Rosemont Seneca Partners, to lobby the Department of Transportation (DOT) and Amtrak for government contracts on railway projects, according to emails on Biden’s publicly available laptop archive.

The younger Biden and his business associates at Rosemont Seneca spoke with Menendez’s office about CAF and secured meetings between CAF and DOT officials, archived emails show.

CAF hired Rosemont Seneca in June 2010 and Hunter Biden’s firm appeared to discuss potential contracts with Amtrak shortly thereafter, according to the laptop archive. Biden and his associates also appeared to work with CAF on a letter sent by the Spanish ambassador to Amtrak advocating for the firm, emails show.

Hunter Biden sat on Amtrak’s board from July 2006 to February 2009 after he was nominated by former President George W. Bush. Prior to his Amtrak position, Biden worked in former President Bill Clinton’s commerce department and at a Washington, D.C., law firm.

Amtrak awarded CAF’s American subsidiary a contract worth $298.1 million in July 2010 to manufacture 130 new rail cars at a plant in Elmira, New York, CNN reported at the time. Hunter Biden’s firm appeared to negotiate a “success fee” with CAF following the announcement of the contract, according to the archive.

“We may very well be because we don’t have anything in writing, but my point has been that we be firm, have Hunter call the CEO and congratulate him, say we are looking forward to working with CAF as they implement the Amtrak contract and then follow it up with a letter to memorialize the success fee arrangement,” Hunter Biden’s business associate Eric Schwerin said in a July 27, 2010, email.

“IF and only if they push back let’s not let CAF make us think we didn’t do enough work to deserve the fee, as it is a minor percentage compared to what we would normally get for working on a project like this,” Schwerin added.

Rosemont Seneca sent a letter to CAF at the end of July 2010 outlining its request for a “success fee” worth more than $800,000 because of the firm’s work on securing the contract.

As Migrants Pour Across the Border in Record Numbers, Biden Brags It Is By Design: “I’ve also directed my team to make a historic increase in the number of refugees admitted from Latin America”

Biden boasted about all the steps he has taken to increase legal immigration and work permits and then said, “I’ve also directed my team to make a historic increase in the number of refugees admitted from Latin America — (applause) — people fleeing violence and persecution who simply want their kids to have a better life.”
