House Oversight chair admits GOP can’t back up Biden bribery accusations
independent.co.uk
The chairman of the House Oversight Committee on Monday said he and his colleagues still lack evidence proving that President Joe Biden took bribes while he was vice president during the Obama administration, despite months of investigation into his son, Hunter Biden.
Representative James Comer made the embarrassing admission during an appearance on Fox News host Sean Hannity’s eponymous nightly programme alongside Representative Jim Jordan, the chair of the House Judiciary Committee.
Step 1: make baseless accusations
Step 2: Go on Faux News to rile up the dipshit base using those accusations
Step 3: admit that there is no evidence to back up any of those baseless accusations
Step 4: back to step 1
The bullshit accusations go on for months if not years as well. For months and months they hear this nonsense and take it as fact. Then there is one day of "ha, we lied" which gets buried and forgotten and, as you said, back to step 1.
By the time you prove it was a lie, they have already moved on to another, even bigger lie
Republicans want people to think both sides are the same. They are not. Republicans get convicted or impeached because there is evidence to back of crimes they did.
Just wanting to impeach Joe Biden is not enough. We need evidence.
They do believe in "alternative facts" though. That's probably enough for many of them.
Republicans love playing pretend to create false equivalency. Their people never read beyond the headlines and actively oppose any sort of fact checking, so politically they have no burden of proof.
BUT BOTH SIDES!!!!!!!
Considering every accusation is simple projection by the Republicans (mostly because they lack any sort of creativity or guile), the "BOTH SIDES!!1!" arguments pretty much make themselves.
Sounds like the Oversight Committee needs an oversight committee.
They should be censured for bringing accusations without evidence.
And sued to recoup the taxpayers' money they've pissed away on these useless investigations.
Lets write this shit up and start getting signatures. The People have power, too.
This is probably the answer. Unfortunately they control that punishment and will, of course, only use it when it serves their political purposes.
And absolutely no one was shocked by this.
I'm kind of shocked they actually admitted it.
Who knew that a convicted fraudster would turn out to be an unreliable source of good information?
Since we know Republicans love to project, maybe trumps son should be investigated by congress for his three year relationship with this fraudster.
Ah! I got it!
They were investigating the wrong person all this time. Common mistake.
It wasn’t a mistake.
They’re just children, who haven’t learned the best way to get into some one’s pants is to buy them flowers and stuff. They’re still in the “throw rocks at people you want to bang” stage
He is a 50+ year old man. It is time that his father doesn't need to be hold responsible for what he does.
Unless GOP can prove that the US Congress, EU, WEF and IMF was also on it.
It is fucking ridiculous, the prosecutor that was ousted was on this position less that, he didn't even open the case (in fact the case was dormant during his tenure).
He was ousted because HE WASN'T investigating corruption. Ukrainians also wanted him removed, because he refused to go after people who ordered shooting to civilians during Euromaidan.
i don't give two shits about what any lying ass Republican thief says he can or can't find, because none of them are on my payroll.. they all work for some rich sonofabitch..
That's what happens when your political philosophy is plagiarized from the shitty tabloid playbook: never let the truth get in the way of a good story (or a bad one, for that matter).
Oh really??? I heard someone on some dumbasses radio tuned tuned to a talk show saying there's all sorts of evidence for Bidens quid pro quo.
Give it another 2 years and they'll finally and proudly announced they found proof! Some buddy of his, bought him a bottle of wine that was $0.25 over the allowed limit!
