House Oversight Committee – Deep Left Field

Rep. James Comer (R-KY), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, was unable to answer a simple question during an appearance on Fox this morning, suggesting that House Republicans who claim President Joe Biden has committed crimes even though they cannot even identify what crimes are on the table.

Comer was a guest on “Fox & Friends,” and he was immediately asked by co-host Steve Doocy, “I heard you yesterday refer to them as a crime family, and this was organized crime. So make it easy for us. What was the crime?”

Comer replied, “Well, the crime is trading policy for money.”

Doocy: “Which policy?”

The congressman responded, “Well, we’re going to get into that.”

Comer added, “I mean, look, Joe Biden has on day one, he changed our energy policy in America that put China first and America last.”

Doocy pressed:

“So you’re saying because members of the Hunter Biden family and the extended Joe Biden family got money through various foreign entities, including things like things from China, that the president is compromised.”

Comer: “Absolutely.”

Once more, Doocy followed up.

“How’s he compromised?”

“He’s compromised because he’s taken so much money from China,” Comer insisted, though he provided no evidence to support such a claim.

If Comer or any other Republican had actual evidence or proof that President Biden is compromised or illegally took money from any country, they’d be shouting it from the rooftops 24/7.

However, the GOP has absolutely no substantiation for their claims, so they’re holding hearings and making promises they can’t deliver on.

Just as we saw with Republicans and Hillary Clinton, there’s no there there, so they’ll just keep screaming and investigating in a pathetic attempt to slag Joe Biden.

This entire issue is Benghazi revisited, and it’s disgusting as hell.

Even though the next Congress hasn’t even been seated (and won’t be until January 3 of 2023), Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) seemed to announce Wednesday that she has appointed herself to the House Oversight Committee.

Speaking with right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, Greene was asked how she could be certain that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) will agree to a extreme conservative agenda if he becomes Speaker of the House, including subpoenas for Dr. Anthony Fauci and others close to President Joe Biden.

Greene insisted that McCarthy will be true to his word:

“He has said publicly that we are going to do all of these investigations into everything you just named. We are definitely doing these investigations and he’s allowing the chairmen of the committees to run it.”

She then added:

“I’m very excited to serve on Oversight. That’s the committee I’ve asked for and no one has told me no about anything. I am going to be pursuing many things and I’m thrilled to be able to do that.”

You may recall that Greene was stripped of all her committee assignments in 2021 after she spread bizarre conspiracy theories and anti-Semitic comments about “space lasers” controlled by Jews that were causing wildfires in California.

Just last month, Greene made it clear that she expects McCarthy to kowtow to her every whim if she agrees to support him as Speaker, commenting:

“I think that to be the best Speaker of the House and to please the base, he’s going to give me a lot of power and a lot of leeway. And if he doesn’t, they’re going to be very unhappy about it. I think that’s the best way to read that. And that’s not in any way a threat at all. I just think that’s reality.”

Greene also let it be known what committees she most coveted being a member of:

“I would like to be on Oversight. I would also like to be on Judiciary. I think both of those I’d be good on.”

Greene doesn’t have a law degree and has never practiced law, yet she wants to be on the Judiciary Committee.

Then again, Greene also has a non-functioning brain and yet she’s allowed to serve in Congress rather than being booted from the House and sent back home to North Georgia where she can sleep with as many redneck pieces of trash that are desperate enough to have her.
