James Comer Pitches A Childish Fit When A Democrat Confronts Him With His Own Shady Business Deals

The karma police paid a visit to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), and he reacted as you’d expect: With anger, petulance, childish insults, and looking guilty as hell.

Referencing reports showing that Comer had engaged in land swaps with his brother, including loans Comer made to his brother, Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) suggested that Comer was guilty of the same thing he has accused President Joe Biden of doing.

“I’m happy to yield you some of my time today, Mr. Chairman, because I think you owe it to the American people to explain why you’ve gone on Fox News and told people, while the president was out of office, he had a loan with his brother, and in a way they were evading taxes. It has come out in the public that you also do business with your brother with potential loans,” Moscowitz noted.

In response, Comer began yelling:

“I would love it! You retweeted that story. Completely false. I’ve never loaned my brother one penny.”

“That story that you tweeted also said that I had a shell company. That is bullshit! I think that the problem is, you know, the White House tried to get CNN to write that story. They went around and investigated all this bullshit…that only dumb financially illiterate people pick up on, and said that it was a shell company because it was an LLC.”

“But you and [Rep. Dan] Goldman, who is ‘Mr. Trust Fund,’ continue to try to discredit — ” Comer boomed.

Moscowitz: “Reclaim my time!”

Comer became more agitated.

“No! I’m not going to give you your time back! We can stop the clock. You all continue to — you look like a Smurf here, just going around and all this stuff, now listen — ”

That’s when Moscowitz hit Comer with a verbal two-by-four:

 “Mr. Chairman, this seems to have gotten under your skin! I think the American people have lots of questions, Mr. Chairman. Perhaps you should sit, maybe, for a deposition — ”

Comer:

“I would be happy! I can sit with Hunter Biden and Jim Biden and we can go over our LLCs!”

Sure, Jim. No one believes you’d ever give a deposition under oath. There’s too big a risk you’d commit perjury within the first 10 seconds.

WATCH: House Oversight Chair Whiffs When Asked To Name What Crimes Joe Biden Has Committed

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.

Jamie Raskin Destroys The GOP’s Bullsh*t Biden ‘Bribery’ Claims

 

The Republican effort to slag President Joe Biden by providing false information and inaccurate claims they say proves Biden was part of a bribery scheme while service as vice president took a major hit today when the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) revealed evidence from the first impeachment of former president Donald Trump that directly refutes one of the main pillars of the GOP’s bogus claims.

NBC News reports that Raskin sent a detailed and lengthy letter to Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R-KY) in which he destroyed, point by point that anyone from a Ukrainian energy firm ever had any contact with Biden.

The document, released in a letter from Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., the committee’s ranking member, to its chairman, Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., is a 2019 questionnaire filled out by Mykola Zlochevsky, the co-founder of the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma, where Biden’s son Hunter once served on the board. Zlochevsky denies ever having contacts with Joe Biden while he was vice president or receiving assistance from his staff while Hunter served on the board.

Specifically, when Zlochevsky was asked if he had ever been in contact with Biden, he emphatically denied any meetings, calls, or other communications.

When asked to detail contacts between then-Vice President Biden and his office from 2013 to 2019, Zlochevsky wrote (in all caps): “No one from Burisma ever had any contacts with VP Biden or people working for him during Hunter Biden’s engagement.” When asked whether Biden or his staff assisted Burisma in any way with business deals or meetings, he wrote, “NO.”

In the letter to Comer, Raskin notes:

“Mr. Zlochevsky’s statements are just one of the many that have debunked the corruption allegations against President Biden that were first leveled by Rudy Giuliani and have been reviewed by former President Trump’s own Justice Department.”

Additionally, Raskin makes it clear that all of the allegations against President Biden are “hearsay” that cannot be supported by facts, writing that the source behind much of the information “explicitly noted that it is not unusual for Ukrainian business executives to brag and show off and that he could not offer any opinion supporting the veracity of the allegations he was relaying.”

Rather than deal with the factual presentation made by Raskin, Comer would only say that “This unclassified record stands on its own and memorializes a confidential human source’s conversations with a Burisma executive dating back to 2015. The Burisma executive claims then-Vice President Biden solicited and received a $5 million bribe in exchange for certain actions.”

But as Raskin proved, the top executive at Burisma denies any such conversations ever took place, which is a direct repudiation of the allegations that have been made over the past several months by Comer and his eager accomplices in right-wing media who are determined to provide cover for the multiple criminal indictments that have been handed down against Trump.

House Oversight Chair Comer Claims He ‘Lost’ Key Witness In His Biden Investigation

According to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), his fact-free investigation of President Joe Biden and the Biden family’s “corruption” was going great until the key witness suddenly disappeared.

During an appearance on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Fox host Maria Bartiromo, Comer was asked, “”You have spoken with whistleblowers,” she noted. “You also spoke with an informant who gave you all of this information. Where is that informant today? Where are these whistleblowers?”

Comer: “Well, unfortunately, we can’t track down the informant. We’re hopeful that the informant is still there. The whistleblower knows the informant. The whistleblower is very credible.”

“Hold on a second, Congressman,” Bartiromo said. “Did you just say that the whistleblower or the informant is now missing?”

“Well, we we’re hopeful that we can find the informant,” Comer replied, claiming the informant was in the “spy business” and “they don’t make a habit of being seen a lot.”

Comer then added, “The nine of the ten people that we’ve identified that have very good knowledge with respect to the Bidens, they’re one of three things, Maria, they’re either currently in court, they’re currently in jail, or they’re currently missing.”

Translation: Comer has no witnesses or informants. He made the entire thing up as a way to slag the president in retribution for a real criminal, Donald Trump, being impeached twice and under indictment in Manhattan.

The GOP strategy for attacking the Biden family is simple: They make a lot of noise, throw out a bunch of allegations, and then yell “Squirrel!!” when anyone asks for specifics.
