The Biden impeachment decision the Home GOP unanimously accepted final December has hilariously collapsed (Russian moles, sawdust “cocaine”), however that’s not stopping the completely inept Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, from throwing spaghetti on the wall to make one thing stick. The chair of the Home Oversight Committee made it clear that his intention is to amass as a lot “proof” of alleged wrongdoing as he can, with an eye fixed towards establishing felony prosecutions for a hypothetical Trump presidency.
“Since January 2023, we’ve launched investigations into President Biden’s border disaster, vitality disaster, federal pandemic spending, federal company telework insurance policies, abuse of energy on the FTC, the Bidens’ corrupt affect peddling schemes, the federal authorities’s efforts to fight CCP affect, and extra,” Comer advised Politico.
These investigations, he promised, “will culminate in reviews with our findings and really useful options to forestall authorities waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement.” Count on that to be as stable as all of the earlier work from him and his fellow MAGA zealot Rep. Jim Jordan, chair of the Judiciary Committee.
The “and extra” Comer referred to consists of such burning questions because the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic (which occurred below Trump) and the administration’s use of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Comer has made it clear that this volley of assaults is designed to generate felony referrals.
“I need to maintain the Biden household accountable. I consider one of the best ways to carry the Biden household accountable is thru felony referrals. We’ve confirmed many crimes have been dedicated,” Comer advised Fox Information’ Trey Gowdy. “If the Merrick Garland Division of Justice won’t maintain this household accountable, then perhaps if Trump is president, a Trey Gowdy Division of Justice can maintain this household accountable.”
The Comer oversight overreach extends to a risk to carry Legal professional Basic Merrick Garland in contempt if he doesn’t flip over the audio tapes of the interview particular counsel Robert Hur performed with President Biden in his categorized paperwork probe. That’s after the disastrous listening to Jordan and Comer held final month, supposed to indicate that Biden is just too previous and doddery to be trusted as commander in chief.
That backfired when the Justice Division launched the transcript of the Biden interview, which confirmed that Biden’s reminiscence was not failing, and actually Hur remarked on Biden’s “photographic understanding and, and recall of the home” in Delaware the place paperwork had been discovered. However Comer and Jordan—who’ve been given free rein by GOP management to proceed to embarrass all of them—are positive that they will discover some nugget of a cover-up on the a part of Garland in all of this.
Largely, although, they need to assist Trump in his revenge plots. In order that they’re simply going to maintain burrowing into the opening they’ve dug. They may stop whereas they’re behind, however the necessity to avenge Trump simply received’t allow them to.
