Pelosi Blocking Investigation into Chinese Coronavirus Origins, Tax Money to Wuhan Lab
[Breitbart] Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) told Breitbart News this weekend that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would rather investigate President Donald Trump again than focus on the actual origins of the Chinese coronavirus and U.S. tax dollars that went to the Wuhan Institute of Virology from which intelligence officials increasingly believe the virus leaked.

Appearing on Breitbart News Saturday on SiriusXM 125 the Patriot Channel, Reschenthaler discussed his efforts to investigate tax dollars that flowed through a New York firm to the Wuhan lab. He said that Pelosi and House Democrats are not interested in holding the Chinese Communist Party accountable and, instead, want to focus their oversight efforts on politically harming President Trump again just like they tried and failed with the partisan impeachment last year and earlier this year.

"We should have an investigative body looking at these grants, but Nancy Pelosi is not going to do that," Reschenthaler said. "So you have myself and House Republicans. I can tell you I’m going to continue to look into these grants. I’m going to continue to look into the Department of Homeland Security as well to see what grants are going from there to China. I’m also looking at defunding the World Health Organization and we can talk about that as well. But the bottom line of the Democrats’ behavior is this: They hate this president so badly that they would rather side with the Chinese Communist Party than defend Americans and defend our spending and spend wisely and just be honest. That is their hatred for President Trump and disdain for President Trump’s supporters."

#1 It didn't happen, no investigation required, but the funding that didn't contribute to the outbreak has been cancelled:

A grant to a New York nonprofit aimed at detecting and preventing future outbreaks of coronaviruses from bats has been canceled by the National Institutes of Health, Politico reports, apparently at the direction of President Donald Trump because the research involved the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China. The virology institute has become a focal point for the idea that SARS-CoV-2 escaped from the laboratory and caused the current COVID-19 pandemic, a scenario experts say is not supported by evidence. Instead, virologists The Scientist has spoken to say the virus most likely jumped from infected animals to humans.

The grant, first awarded in fiscal year 2014 and most recently renewed last year, went to EcoHealth Alliance, which describes itself as “a global environmental health nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting wildlife and public health from the emergence of disease.” The aims of the funded project included characterizing coronaviruses present in bat populations in southern China and conducting surveillance to detect spillover events of such viruses to people. The project has resulted in 20 publications, most recently a March report on zoonotic risk factors in rural southern China.

#5 Pelosi is a Chinese agent, her Chinese handler even drove for her for almost 20 years.

Well, that too. But it's a safe bet that Nancy has financial...um...dealings, let's say, with China that she does not want to jeopardize.

#10 #9 why don't any of these pieces of shit just die?

Because it's become unpopular to hang them, like they deserve. Need to change that.

#11 Fortunately, we needn’t wait for Speaker of the House Pelosi to organize an investigation by the appropriate committees of the House of Representatives. The Senate can investigate, the Department of Justice can investigate, the CIA can investigate... and in the process, should it be desired, Madam Pelosi’s disinterest can also be investigated.

No need to get upset that a scorpion stings, when it can just be squished by heavy-soled boot.
