I don't think this is Bernie. The 2nd woman worked for Himes, who Gowdy, I believe, said should replace Schiff on the House Intelligence Committee. Gowdy said Himes is reasonable and respected and people would like to work with him.
I think at some point the reasonable democrats know they need to call out the bullshit or they'll get swamped next election. Biden's a train wreck waiting to happen. Everyone is just watching this bullshit by peeking through their fingers every now and then, knowing it's just around the bend somewhere but are afraid of watching the whole enchilada go down in real time.
Surprised Pelosi got Biden's back. She's got the new JD house members and the senate posse that didn't vote for RR on her ass already, and now, if I'm correct, the moderate dems. Maybe the dem PTB want creepy uncle Joe as a stalking horse for HRC or big Mike and want to take him out on their own terms and time line.
