Jamie Raskin Unloads On James Comer
Rating Member Raskin mentioned in a press release offered to PoliticusUSA:
Chairman Comer says it’s ‘past parody that Democrats proceed their obsession with Donald Trump,’ which is amusing as a result of the masochistic obsession with Donald Trump clearly belongs to Chairman Comer and all of the Republicans who’ve used their legislative energy to cowl up proof of Trump’s lawlessness and to serve his calls for for private vengeance. Chairman Comer and his partisans nonetheless can’t consider anybody else of their celebration certified to be president.
They proceed to advertise Trump for president (or dictator) even after he was impeached for inciting a violent revolt towards the Structure, even after he has been discovered to be a sexual assailant and defamer of his sufferer and even after it has change into clear that he stole labeled and top-secret authorities paperwork and refused to return them. The second the Republicans drop Donald Trump, who’s a transparent and current menace to American constitutional democracy, I might be happy to by no means point out his identify once more in a political context and easily permit the courts and his household to cope with him. Is the Chairman too obsessed to let Trump go?
Meantime, Chairman Comer casually admits that Donald Trump was in enterprise whereas president of the US, which is exactly what’s illegal when it entails assortment of thousands and thousands of {dollars} from overseas governments and monarchs. Joe Biden, for his half has scrupulously adhered to the Overseas Emoluments Clause and the Home Emoluments Clause. After a 12 months of his embarrassing wild goose chase, obsessively centered on President Biden’s son, a non-public citizen who by no means served in his father’s Administration, Comer can’t determine any wrongdoing by President Biden, not to mention a single financial cost he has obtained from a overseas authorities.
Learn the report about Trump’s systematic violation of the Overseas Emoluments Clause, Mr. Chairman, and if you’re severe about combating corruption, I might invite you to affix us in passing laws to verify no Commander-in-Chief once more flouts the Structure to promote out American overseas coverage for private revenue to Princes, Prime Ministers, Premiers and dictators.
Republicans Are Protecting Up Corruption Whereas Chasing Biden Impeachment
There stays zero proof that President Biden did something mistaken, but Home Republicans led by Rep. Comer are persevering with to chase a fact-free impeachment of the President whereas they flip a blind eye to the volumes of evidence of Trump’s crimes and impeachable offenses.
What Home Republicans are doing is worse than abusing their political energy to go after a political opponent.
Home Republicans try to hinder investigations into and prosecutions of Donald Trump.
Democrats have been unable to get extra proof of overseas funds to Trump as a result of Comer and others stopped forcing his accountants to adjust to congressional subpoenas.
Home Republicans are obsessive about Trump, and they’ll do something to see him again within the White Home.
