GOP investigations of Biden to test Chairman Comer’s power


Recommended Posts

WASHINGTON (AP) — In early 2017, freshman Rep. James Comer found himself aboard Air Force One with the country’s two most powerful Republicans, President Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. As they returned to Washington from a Kentucky rally, the conversation turned to the president’s first legislative push, with McConnell encouraging Trump to pursue an infrastructure deal.

By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1}

GOP Oversight Chair Says He’s Lost Track of His Biden Corruption Informant

A top witness in a Republican investigation into the Biden family has apparently up and disappeared without a trace—or at least that’s what Rep. James Comer (R-KY) said Sunday on Fox News.

The GOP has to keep pretending its Biden investigations are legit

A new document from the House Oversight Committee's Republican staff claims that there's a serious legislative reason for its probes.

I don't need evidence or witnesses to prove Biden did crimes

I want to thank the press for coming here today. Today, after months of investigation, the House Oversight Committee is pleased to announce that we have found 10 individuals with very good knowledge of Joe Biden committing various and very shocking crimes. These 10 witnesses will finally blow the lid off of the Biden family's long-standing crime spree, which includes crimes, each of them more shocking than the other.

/oh, this article is excellent!

 

"Nine of the 10 people that we've identified, that have very good knowledge with respect to the Bidens, they're—they're one of three things, Maria. They're either currently in court, they're currently in jail, or they're currently missing."

— Republican House Oversight Committee chair Rep. James Comer to Fox News conspiracy host Maria Bartir

This article is excellent. Here is a bit of it:

We will now introduce our witnesses. Unfortunately, our first planned witness is in prison for wire fraud, so that witness is unable to attend at this time. Our second two witnesses, who have evidence even more compelling than the first witnesses, also cannot attend today because they are currently incarcerated for transporting endangered prairie dogs across state lines for the purposes of gambling.

Our fourth witness, however, is among the most credible informants any of us here on the House Oversight Committee have ever heard from. We are not able to locate that witness at this time, and I would like to remind the press at this point that witnesses of this high caliber are often in the spy business, and it is possible that the witness is missing because he is under deep cover, possibly in Paraguay or one of those other Asian nations, uncovering even better evidence than he would have provided you today had we been able to find him.

GOP’s Comer says a bit too much about the point of anti-Biden probe

Democrats have insisted that Rep. James Comer’s anti-Biden crusade is little more than a politically motivated stunt. He's effectively admitted they're right.

1 big thing: GOP goes all-in on FBI gamble

House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) is moving to hold FBI director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress, escalating a fight over Biden bribery allegations that Republicans acknowledge have not been verified.

Why it matters: Comer's stated desire to lead bipartisan, substantive investigations is increasingly under strain, with his own public statements handing ammunition to Democrats as they seek to paint his probes as overtly partisan.

Driving the news: For nearly a month, Comer and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) have sought to compel the FBI to turn over a document that they claim includes an allegation of a criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national.

Context: The document Comer is seeking is called an FD-1023, which is used to memorialize interviews with sources and does not inherently indicate wrongdoing.

  • CNN reports that it originated from unverified material Rudy Giuliani sent the Justice Department in June 2020 — information so radioactive that former Attorney General Bill Barr feared it could taint an ongoing investigation into Hunter Biden.
  • "The same people who spun a four-year investigation on the made-up Steele Dossier are now trying to discredit an FBI-generated record when they denied its very existence as late as yesterday," an Oversight spokesperson told Axios in a statement.

Between the lines: Comer and Grassley's own media appearances have contributed to the growing skepticism.

  • "We aren’t interested in whether or not the accusations against Vice President Biden are accurate," Grassley told Fox News today, arguing the question of whether the FBI fulfilled its due diligence to investigate is more important.
  • Comer said on Fox News last week that Trump's competitiveness with Biden in a recent poll is a sign that "the American people are keeping up with our investigation" — appearing to link Biden's political standing to the FBI probe.

By the numbers: 100% of Comer's 50 media appearances in May were on conservative TV and radio stations, according to an analysis by the Democrat-aligned Congressional Integrity Project.

  • Democrats on the Oversight Committee have even resorted to watching Fox News — on which Comer appeared 19 times last month — to keep tabs on the GOP chair's web of alleged evidence in the Biden family probe.

The bottom line: The Durham report's finding that the FBI's Russia investigation was "seriously flawed" has eviscerated any benefit of the doubt many Republicans may have once granted the bureau.

FBI offers to show GOP chairman document that purports to relate to Biden, his family

The FBI has offered to show top lawmakers next week a bureau document that purports to relate to President Joe Biden and his family following weeks of demands by congressional Republicans and a contempt threat against Director Christopher Wray

Chuck Grassley says the quiet part out loud

For weeks now, Rep. James Comer and Sen. Chuck Grassley have been attempting to force the FBI to hand them a document known as an FD-1023 form. Officials at the FBI have been very clear in explaining to Comer and Grassley that the form is “used by FBI agents to record unverified reporting from a confidential human source.” They are not made public because the claims are unverified, and it would be unfair to either the person being accused, or the accuser, to make the information public.

GOP's FBI escalation

A full FBI briefing has failed to dissuade Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) from holding contempt hearings against FBI Director Christopher Wray, Axios' Stef Kight reports.

  • Why it matters: This escalates the growing rift between Republicans and the FBI — and Speaker McCarthy has promised to support Comer with a contempt vote on the House floor.

Driving the news: The FBI provided Comer and ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) access today to an FBI form made in 2020, detailing an allegation about a criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden.

  • The form, called an FD-1023, is used to chronicle interviews with FBI sources and does not inherently indicate wrongdoing.
  • "At the briefing, the FBI again refused to hand over the unclassified record to the custody of the House Oversight Committee, and we will now initiate contempt of Congress hearings this Thursday," Comer said.

Between the lines: Comer and Raskin received the same briefing and viewed the same documents, but they're telling two very different stories.

  • Comer told reporters the FBI revealed that the form is part of an ongoing investigation, which he speculated to be the federal inquiry in Delaware involving Hunter Biden. The document's source has worked with the FBI for more than a decade.
  • Raskin pushed back on the idea of the form being part of an ongoing investigation. His takeaway was that the allegations are the same as the Ukraine-related allegations brought by Rudy Giuliani, which were evaluated by a federal prosecutor under former President Trump.
