We Now Have Even More Details About James Comer's Shady Shell Company

[Tom of Temecula]

The man leading the Biden impeachment inquiry has apparently engaged in nearly identical behavior that he has hounded the president over. In a scathing new report, the Associated Press found that a shell company held by the chair of the House Oversight Committee James Comer functioned “in a similarly opaque way” as the Biden family’s own companies.

For months, Comer has harangued the Biden family for leveraging their name to conduct business deals and for using shell companies to cloud their transactions with foreign parties and shady figures, indicting the president’s son Hunter Biden on nine tax charges related to the shell companies.

But a series of interviews and records searches conducted by the AP showed that the Kentucky Republican did something remarkably similar, transferring a six-acre parcel of land co-owned with one of his major campaign donors, Darren Cleary, to a shell company he created in 2017 with his wife.

The property has grown in value since its original purchase, jumping from a valuation of between $50,000 and $100,000 at the time of purchase to $500,001 and $1 million, according to Comer’s financial statements obtained by the outlet. That flies in the face of not only Comer’s self-purported, squeaky-clean reputation but also House rules, which require members of Congress to disclose all assets held by companies worth more than $1,000.

1. K&R for exposure.

Classic rightwing projection.

2. It may be more than just a disclosure problem

if he used the shell company to avoid paying taxes, the same thing Hunter just got indicted for.

I say indict Comer Simpson, we need a special counsel to investigate him, in the spirit of not being partisan.

4. Absolutely, he should be investigated and charged.

3. Hmmm. ...Co-owned. So, how much money did Comer put into the deal? Most likely none.

This is a good way to “pay off” a house member to help you with something. I would put money on comer, not having put a dime into this deal, it’s a way to pay him off.

8. Send this smug-faced corrupt mofo to the legal meat grinder!

Would a Just society have rules against their government representatives being lying hypocrites? Can a Just society exist if there are no such rules? I shall ponder this later on, over a nice glass of spiked eggnog.
