Congressional Democrats are betting that a coordinated offense is their best defense against the coming Republican investigative onslaught.

Democrats on Capitol Hill, at the White House, in agencies and in outside political groups are gearing up to do battle with the Republican committee chairs probing all corners of the Biden administration as well as the Biden family’s financial dealings…

Their plans include launching sustained attacks against the two Republicans expected to lead the most aggressive probes: Oversight Chairman James Comer of Kentucky and Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan of Ohio, who is also leading the new so-called weaponization of government subcommittee with a wide investigative mandate. Meanwhile, outside groups are planning to bring the fight local and visit more than a dozen Biden-leaning congressional districts to go after vulnerable Republicans involved in the investigations.

The Dems only do offense these days. It’s been a while since the situation was bad enough that they even felt they had to do defense.

Faced with Biden scandals, they found George Santos and made him the face of the GOP. The House GOP tried to go after Rep. Ilhan Omar and the Dems united behind the Islamist antisemite while Republican House members from Rep. Nancy Mace to Rep. Matt Gaetz decided to defend Omar’s presence.
