manufacturing false records concerning Biden's business dealings in Ukraine.
That’s a smart move. As if the lie wasn’t enough, just hand them bogus documents to get yourself locked up.
Wow, today is a banner day. Drumpf getting hammered for over $350M for realestate fraud, and now this.
It's Friday night, I was already planning to down a few, but this makes it an occasion! :)
Headline is bad.
The Democrat did not directly call for a probe and with a GOP majority in the House it seems unlikely that Comer could face investigation.
The House majority switches parties every other election. If the Dems retake the House this November they could investigate this. Nice attempt at a gotcha, though.
Republicans have had the majority for 22 of the past 30 years, so not really.
November is three lifetimes away in American politics. If the Dems take control, they're not going back to this, there's going to be something new for them to use to divide the country.....
Good thing the Republicans are doing as much lying and criminal activity as possible to unite everyone! Phew.
Hey, the Rs aren't good guys here but anyone who thinks the D's are going to do anything about this, in the future are just silly.
Simple question: Why do you think this?
Aside from it being a house decision, so they don't have much leverage, of course. Because history says if it happened under a D watch, there would be an investigation. Granted even just a decade ago there would have been one in a R house.
Because it won't be politically expedient for them by the time they're in a position to do anything about it. They will use it as a wedge issue until the next thing comes up, and the cycle will continue.
If this happened when they were in power, they'd certainly capitalize on it.
Ahh I follow now, thanks.
What way do you think the Dems would use this?
They'll use the corruption and disinformation angle while it's relevant, after the election it won't matter anymore and they'll drop it for the next thing.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Republican Representative James Comer is facing calls for an investigation of his efforts to impeach President Joe Biden after a key witness in the probe was charged with lying to the FBI.
Many social media users on X, formerly Twitter, were quick to call for Comer to face investigation, while his Democratic critics suggested that the Republican has questions to answer.
"James Comer's lead informant in his sham impeachment against POTUS was just indicted for lying and making up his claims," Democratic Representative Robert Garcia of California wrote on X.
Democratic Representative Jamie Raskin, ranking member of the Oversight Committee, issued a statement demanding an end to the impeachment inquiry and called the probe "fraudulent."
"Special Counsel Weiss's investigation is just the most recent to debunk the Ukraine-Burisma conspiracy theory at the heart of this fraudulent impeachment inquiry," Raskin said.
"James Comer's star witness against Joe Biden was just charged by the TRUMP-APPOINTED Special Counsel with making false claims," wrote Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett in a post on X.
