House Oversight: Republicans Fail to Find Any Evidence of Wrongdoing by President Biden

https://oversightdemocrats.house.gov/news/press-releases/republicans-fail-to-find-any-evidence-of-wrongdoing-by-president-biden-in

Washington, D.C. (May 10, 2023)—Today, Rep. Jamie Raskin, Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Accountability, issued the following statement after Committee Republicans released cherry-picked bank records and mischaracterized information about Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) to distract from their failure to find any evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden:

“Once again Chairman Comer has failed to provide factual evidence to support his wild accusations about the President. He continues to bombard the public with innuendo, misrepresentations, and outright lies, recycling baseless claims from stories that were debunked years ago. Unable to implicate the President directly, Committee Republicans have resorted to using cherry-picked bank records, misrepresentations about confidential and unverified bank reports known as SARs, and baseless conspiracy theories to attack the President’s family, including his grandchildren. As Republicans use their oversight powers to advance this tiresome and aging smear campaign, they refuse to honor their public commitment to investigate former President Trump and former senior White House advisor, Jared Kushner, their hundreds of LLCs, and the billions of dollars they collected directly from autocratic and corrupt foreign governments. If they’re in search of presidential corruption by foreign powers, the undisputed champion is their own guy.”

A new memo released by Committee Democrats details Committee Republicans’ efforts to mischaracterize the unverified tip information contained in SARs in an attempt to support their unfounded allegations.

In a press conference and report released today, Committee Republicans highlighted cherry-picked information from bank records and misrepresentations about SARs as part of their latest effort to promote tired, debunked, and baseless conspiracy theories about President Biden and members of his family.

Bank records reviewed by Committee Democrats do not indicate any wrongdoing by President Biden nor do they show any connection to policy decisions.

I can't take more than a few seconds of watching that networks' prime time lie-a-thon before I must either turn the channel or duck the things my wife starts throwing at me to make me shut up and change the channel instead of yelling at our TV!

The pervasiveness of the lies and the coordination and silo-ing of the viewers into tightly controlled media driven and reinforced narratives is shocking if you step back and view it for the propaganda effort it is instead of pretending that it is journalism, news or legitimate discourse. Sean Hannity and Lauran Ingraham are simply splitting up the themes that Tucker once would have needed to spout and the train of disinformation and lies rolls on.

If people are still out there actively supporting the advertisers or purveyors of Fox programming, they should be put on notice that when the time comes, they will not receive leniency for "not knowing better" or "being lied to unwittingly". They are all on notice right now -FOX LIES TO YOU. THE GOP LIES TO YOU. Their lies and disdain for the truth are hideously obvious. They just stopped caring and are all in on the efforts since 2015 (really since 2008 if anyone cares to go back and re-examine how we got here and how the GOP power brokers sold their souls for more power without principles or purpose).

Comer will schedule more hearings in Benghazi. “Patriots” guarantee bombshell testimony from other “Patriots.” Fox will cover it live.
