J.D. GORDON: Republicans Failed to Deliver Accountability. Democrats Will Make Them Pay.  

The opinion article argues that Republicans failed to pursue accountability for investigations it describes as politically motivated, and says this leaves them vulnerable as Democrats regain control of Congress. It warns that Democrats are likely to investigate President Trump and his allies, and calls for new Republican leadership and stronger action.

The author cites Operation Round River, concerning allegations about Joe and Hunter Biden’s ties to Burisma, and Arctic Frost, which examined efforts to overturn the 2020 election result. The article says Arctic Frost targeted more than a dozen members of Congress and over 400 Republican people and organisations, and that phone records of 20 per cent of Republican senators were subpoenaed. It also claims data on 639,000 Americans was collected, and says no one has been imprisoned over the alleged abuses.
