For practically a 12 months, Head of the Home Oversight Committee Rep. James Comer has used the facility of his place to supply an evidence-free investigation into what he has known as the “Biden household cover-up.” Warping half-truths so as to drive an investigation into outdated and debunked conspiracy theories has resulted in just about no significant proof of wrongdoing by President Joe Biden. It has, nevertheless, uncovered the world to how a lot of a raging hypocrite Comer is.
In August, Comer told Newsmax that “Joe Biden was utilizing pseudonyms to cover the truth that he was working together with his son to hawk entry to our enemies all over the world.” The Kentucky congressman has repeatedly implied Biden’s use of aliases, a “frequent apply” in authorities correspondence, is proof he was concerned in shady actions related to his son Hunter Biden’s enterprise dealings.
The Every day Beast reports that when he was Kentucky’s commissioner of agriculture in 2011, Comer was sending pseudonymous emails for presidency enterprise. In truth, he was bungling hemp seed deals with China, and sending these emails from a authorities account, named after his 7-year-old son, to a giant marketing campaign donor who had a potential curiosity within the hemp product.
That is simply the newest instance of how monumental his hypocrisy is regarding the allegations he levied in opposition to President Biden.
Again in November 2023, Comer accused Joe Biden of corruption based mostly on a examine for $200,000 he gave to his brother Jim Biden in 2018, which was repaid. Comer known as it a “bombshell” piece of proof. Days later, it was revealed that Comer had additionally paid his personal brother $200,000, in considered one of many “land swaps” offers the Comers and their companies had been concerned in over time.
In March 2023, the Congressional Integrity Project—the Democratic-aligned group dedicated to placing Republicans on the defensive—wrote a letter asking for a Kentucky prosecutor to research Comer for probably committing “no less than one, and maybe a number of, felony offenses throughout his failed try and safe the Republican nomination for governor in 2015.” The motivation for the letter was a New York Times profile on Comer, wherein the congressman talked concerning the tight gubernatorial main he had misplaced—which included allegations by a blogger in opposition to him that he was abusive to a school girlfriend:
The month earlier than the first, a narrative appeared in The Lexington Herald-Chief wherein leaked emails steered coordination between the blogger and the husband of the operating mate of considered one of Mr. Comer’s opponents within the race, the Louisville developer Hal Heiner.
The rumor whispered round Kentucky political circles on the time was that Mr. Comer had swiped the emails from the pc server for the husband’s former legislation agency and leaked them to the newspaper. In an interview with The Instances, Mr. Comer confirmed, for the primary time, that he had been behind the leak and strongly hinted he had gotten them from the server.
“I’ve had two servers in my lifetime,” Mr. Comer mentioned when requested concerning the emails. “Hunter Biden’s is one, and you’ll — I’m not going to say who the opposite one was, however you should use your creativeness.”
This tactic by Comer appears to have labored out in addition to his investigation into Biden, as Comer’s former girlfriend, angered by the leaked emails, wrote and printed a letter detailing what she described as a “poisonous, abusive” relationship with Comer. Comer has denied the allegations of abuse.
Just lately, reports say Comer spends his days fantasizing concerning the dead-end Biden impeachment disappearing. The fixed humiliation of getting failed to truly show something in opposition to Biden has prompted even right-wing information shops like Fox Information to stop giving him primetime mentions.
Nevertheless, Donald Trump is operating for president once more, and the calls for to create the illusion of corruption by Biden appears to be Comer’s main job. On Sunday, Comer told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo he was not achieved with attempting to get Biden, saying “That is only the start.”
He’s had virtually a 12 months, and all he’s confirmed is that Biden is a supportive father.
