Comer again fails to incriminate Biden with new impeachment inquiry witness: transcript

Source: raw story





Story by Sarah K. Burris • 12h


Republican Oversight Committee chairman Rep. James Comer (KY) interviewed more witnesses for the Joe Biden impeachment inquiry — and transcripts reveal they still haven't been able to find anything conclusive.

A transcript posted by the White House's spokesman for Oversight and Investigations Ian Sams showed that art dealer George Bergès spoke to the committee, but he claimed he got nothing political or influential for selling Hunter Biden's artwork.



................Former Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks pointed to the interviews as another example that the GOP has nothing they can use to impeach the president.

"Everyone already knew there is nothing supporting Republicans' impeachment inquiry except Republicans and Fox viewers," she posted on social media.

it's not their money, it's the taxpayer's money. Also, their effed-up cult demands the investigation because.

So instead of making life reasonable for the American people, the GQP does nada.

I've heard it many times by these idiots calling in to right wing radio shows. They've created a bizarre conspiracy around it (and other Hunter stories.)

Comer Simpson makes Homer Simpson look like Einstein by comparison. Hell, Inspector Clouseau was more competent than this backwoods, Kentucky fuckstick.

Comer and Gym Jordan were ordered to impeach President Biden by the TFG. Comer is an idiot and is making up facts to support this inquiry. There are no facts that support this investigation

As House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer’s anti-Biden crusade has failed spectacularly, it was only natural to wonder about the reactions from his GOP colleagues. Were they ignoring reality and pretending that Comer was succeeding, or did they recognize the Kentucky Republican’s fiasco?

There’s ample reason to believe the latter. The Messenger reported:

House Republicans are increasingly disenchanted with Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., saying his leadership of the Biden impeachment inquiry has become a “clueless investigation” at best and — at worst — “a disaster.” Less than 10 months away from the 2024 election, his impeachment investigation is barreling toward its conclusion, with no smoking gun to bring the president to his knees. Only one thing is clear: Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, has lost the trust of some in his own party.

The report quoted one unnamed House Republican saying of the Oversight Committee’s anti-Biden effort, “It’s been a parade of embarrassments.” Another added, “James Comer continues to embarrass himself and House Republicans. He screws up over and over and over.”.....

It’s possible that the Kentucky congressman might try to defend himself, though I’m not sure how. The truth is Comer really has played fast and loose with transcribed interviews. He really has set his credibility on fire. He really has made bold promises during appearances on conservative media, and then failed to follow through. He really has held hearings that undermined his own partisan efforts and released ostensible “evidence” filled with factual errors.
