(TNS) There are few more loathsome Democratic senators than Chris “Coronavirus truther” Murphy of Connecticut, as evidenced by his effort to lead colleagues in an effort to stifle GOP probes into Joe and Hunter Biden.
As reported by The Hill, Murphy wants an investigation into any Executive Branch agencies complying with Republican requests for information regarding allegations the Bidens may have treated Ukraine (and other countries) as piggy banks while Daddy Biden was VP:

In a letter sent to the inspectors general at the National Archives, State Department, Treasury Department and Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Murphy expressed concern that the agencies are being “weaponized” by President Trump to hurt his political opponents. He argued that the same agencies refused to cooperate with “legitimate congressional investigations” into Trump, including ones focused on bringing articles of impeachment against the president. — The Hill
“I am deeply concerned that the National Archives and the Departments of State, Treasury and Homeland Security may not be applying a consistent test regarding inquiries made by Congress, choosing to comply with the requests that are designed to damage the president’s political opponents, but refusing to comply with requests into the activities of the president,” Murphy wrote. “This double standard threatens to make these agencies agents of the president’s political campaign, in contravention of federal law.”
Murphy called on the inspectors general at the various agencies to answer a list of questions on the matter by March 23. Among other questions, the senator asked the agencies to provide information on the extent of its cooperation with requests related to Biden, the son of former Vice President and leading Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. — The Hill
As we noted in November, citing investigative journalist ace Paul Sperry, three Senate committees launched probes into “Obama-Biden solicitation of Ukrainian election interference,” investigations that included Biden-related allegations of corruption. And, Sperry noted, the committees requested information from some of the same agencies targeted by Murphy and Democrats.
“BREAKING: No fewer than 3 Senate committees are now formally investigating Obama-Biden solicitation of Ukrainian interference in the 2016 election, as well as Biden family corruption in Ukraine. Investigators seek records from the DOJ, FBI, DOS, DOT and the U.S. National Archives,†he wrote.

Sperry also noted, “BREAKING: Senate investigators r looking into whether a DNC operative,who worked w the Clinton campaign & Ukrainian Embassy to dig up dirt on Trump & his campaign mngr, originated the Russia-hacked-the-DNC conspiracy theory & poss. misled FBI. Senate seeks FBI 302s of Ali Chalupa.â€

President Trump and his supporters have long suspected that Russia did not hack the DNC’s computers.
In December USA Features Media reported that a trio of Republican senators said they want interviews with Obama-era figures regarding Hunter Biden’s dealings with Ukraine:
As part of the Senate’s impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, three Republican senators have said they want to call as witnesses members of the Obama administration to question them about the Ukraine-related business activities of former Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden.
In a statement issued Wednesday, Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said they are seeking officials who had worked in former President Barack Obama’s State Department and in Biden’s office.
The three senators want former Obama officials to provide explanations regarding Hunter Biden’s association as a well-paid board member with Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian energy firm that was under watch for corruption.
The Hill adds:
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee chairman, and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) are now conducting a broad probe that partly touches on Hunter Biden’s stint on the board of Burisma. Johnson indicated on Monday that he would move forward with a subpoena vote related to the investigation.Â
The two have also made requests to the State Department and National Archives and Records Administration for documents related to Hunter Biden and other officials…
We noted Feb. 4 that the National Archives was engaged in a review of thousands of Obama-era documents tied to the investigative efforts of Johnson and Grassley:
According to Sara A. Carter, the document search appears to be focused on the 2016 time period, when the presidential campaigns were in full swing and it looked as though Donald Trump was running away with the GOP nomination.
She reports that the archives discovered the documents after receiving a request from a pair of Republican senators — Ron Johnson, R-Wisconsin, and Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa — in November.
She adds that the docs “are significant as they directly concern meetings that senior Obama Administration and Ukrainian officials had at the White House in 2016.â€

Murphy sees the writing on the wall and is trying to gum up the works because there is no corruption too extensive for a Democrat like him to cover-up. And now that Joe Biden is the legitimate 2020 Democratic frontrunner, it’s protect him at all costs.
But with the administration and the president already well aware of the corruption evidence involving the Bidens thanks to the dogged pursuit of evidence by presidential lawyer Rudy Giuliani, the Senate GOP’s efforts all appear to be fairly well-timed, wouldn’t you say?
GOT SOMETHING TO SAY? COMMENT BELOW
Yeah; same folks who want to investigate Trump all the way back to kindergarten.
LOL LOL LOL Now That’s Funny, LMRO….!!!
If it isn’t clear to everyone who the traitors are now, it never will be. We live in an Idiocracy.
The satanic abominations have been thoroughly exposed. It’s time for Barr and Durham to come through, and hand out those indictments. Take down the enemies inside the gates.
Better forget Barr/Durham. Where are they? Why nothing after so long? The shoe shiner on the street corner knows enough to indict Biden and Hillary so why hasn’t the DOJ? Because they are hiding everything.
More like, it’s time for civil war….it’s inevitable.
Boy the picture at the top of this story is of a couple of smiling turd balls
LOL! There won’t be any actual “probe” of Biden corruption. Even if there is…and even when they uncover the Biden family duplicity…there will be no charges! Has nobody else noticed that Barr finds reasons NOT to prosecute Democrats? I can’t be the only person to notice that he’s proven that he’s one of “them.”
I want to see heavy prison sentences for these fascist leftists pieces of crap.
My hope is Joe and Hunter get adjoining cells in the supermax. If they and
Hillary and Comey, et al walk, it is the end of the rule of law here.The Democrats have run the US like Chicago under Capone and the Republicans sat on their hands and watched. Both parties are the same, but the Democrats are more annoying.
Laws are for the little people.-Hillary Clinton
I wouldn’t equate the Republicans to the fascist leftists that call themselves democrats but I also know the Republican party has been a bunch of pukes, too. Until DJT arrived, they were ball-less bastards. Trump takes the media and the left head-on and that’s why they want him destroyed.
Soo…we’re not supposed to investigate this corruption because he’s running for Ptesident? That’s totral corruption in and of itself!
Hang ’em all….starting with barry HUSSEIN o and his husband mick followed closely by shrill and slick willie…then all the rest of the despicable left…pelosi, schmuck schumer, mad max waters, pencil-neck schiff, et al.
This must be a new rule that wasn’t in effect in in 2016.
Why would anyone want to do that after working so hard to clean up even the whiff of corruption on their opponents side? You don’t think the conservatives would have an axe to grind would you? Just a little. Karma folks – it can be a biotch!
Punch that fucker in the mouth.
which one?
Sleepy should hit the crack pipe so his teeth get stained to match junior’s.
Hellary hasn’t Off’ed anyone in quite a while…how long’s it been since Epstein, Hellary ?
Aren’t you getting bored ?
