Fox Information host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday informed Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) that her viewers was “disappointed” that his probe of former President Joe Biden produced no prosecutions.
After a failed effort to pin corruption expenses on Biden for alleged undue affect in enterprise dealings with son Hunter Biden and different family, the investigation by the Home Oversight Committee chair and GOP members finally fizzled.
“You did a very good job,” Bartiromo informed Comer on her “Sunday Morning Futures” program. “You identified the bank statements, you identified whistleblowers and you did a very deep investigation, we all covered it. … But I’ve got to tell you, my audience is a little disappointed.”
Noting the last-minute preemptive pardons that Biden granted to members of the family, Bartiromo informed Comer: “Should we just expect after all that work you put into it, after all the conversations we’ve had, they got away with it?” she requested, maybe forgetting that the investigation by no means produced the proof essential for an impeachment.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), then the highest Democrat on the committee, concluded: “What do you call a hellbent 20-month impeachment drive whose managers finally just dissolve into compulsive repetition of thoroughly discredited and meaningless accusations? I would call it a complete exoneration of the target of their pathetic attacks.”
Comer didn’t straight deal with Bartiromo’s criticism, however did say he hoped his investigation wasn’t for naught and the ball was “in [Attorney General] Pam Bondi’s court.” He predicted Biden’s pardons wouldn’t maintain up legally and falsely claimed that Biden “didn’t have the guts to tell anybody why he did it.”
Biden spelled out that he was involved that partisan assaults towards his household would proceed below Trump.
Not surprisingly, Comer doesn’t appear to be as enthusiastic about investigating the Trump household’s monetary dealings.
“If Democrats truly care about presidential ethics, they must first acknowledge the evidence we uncovered,” a Comer spokeperson informed the Oversight Committee’s high Democrat, Rep. Gerry Connolly of Virginia.
