GOP examines Biden's inner circle

 DC Daily Journal:

...

House Republicans have issued a subpoena for Anthony Bernal, former chief of staff to Joe Biden and a key confidant to Jill Biden, to probe whether there was a deliberate effort to conceal the 46th president’s cognitive decline during his tenure.

The move signals a continued push to scrutinize the Biden administration’s inner workings, with GOP lawmakers questioning the transparency of a presidency marked by stumbles and missteps.

Bernal, described as a fiercely loyal “bulldog” operative and Jill Biden’s “work husband,” informed the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday that he would not voluntarily participate in a transcribed interview.
...

Republicans are undeterred, demanding his deposition on July 16 to address allegations of a cover-up. “The American people deserve to know if Biden’s team was propping up a faltering leader while shielding his limitations from public view,” a GOP source remarked.

Bernal’s refusal to cooperate echoes last year’s standoff when the White House blocked a similar subpoena from Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer.

This time, non-compliance could lead to a contempt citation and potential criminal charges enforced by the Justice Department.
...

The US needs to know who was making decisions for a presdient who appeared to be suffering from dementia.   This is a legitimate concern and should be a priority.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
