Asked if he has evidence directly linking Joe Biden to alleged malfeasance, Comer indicates he does not pic.twitter.com/AsatNEiMJd

Four Bidens! no, *twelve* Bidens! The whole purpose of Comer’s despicable ‘investigation’ was to spook someone in the Biden administration into doing something that could be treated as indicating clouds, a penumbra if you would, around President Biden himself. Since Democrats in general and the Biden administration in particular are not habitual grifters and criminals, unlike your average modern office-holding Republican, that dreamed-of penumbra has turned into… the sound of a long wet fart.
(There’s a secondary theory on social media that Comer and his merry minions hoped for sufficient media harassment to drive Hunter Biden off the wagon – spectacular spectacle! — but I’m not convinced they can plan that far in advance.)
Note that they handed the ugliest threats off to a female rep; admittedly, Nancy Mace has been making a big play for a slot in the next TFG administration…

Oh, also Dumbest Senator in A Large Mob of GOP Dumbarses is on it!
Sen. Ron Johnson seemed to admit on Wednesday that the GOP doesn’t have the “hard proof” linking Joe Biden to any criminal scheme involving his family’s business affairs, adding that people will just have to “infer what’s happening” on this issue. https://t.co/e7etxhgXnM
— The Daily Beast (@thedailybeast) May 10, 2023
… While Comer previously said he’d identify multiple policy decisions made by the president that were tied to his family members’ foreign financial transactions, Comer provided no evidence on Wednesday to back those claims. In fact, the latest report didn’t show any payments made directly to Biden—either as president or vice president. Comer was unable to name any specific Biden policies influenced by foreign money at his Wednesday presser, instead pointing to the president placing “China first and America last” while saying his committee would “get into more of those later.”
Along with Comer and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Johnson has led the charge for several years on a probe of the Biden family—most especially the president’s son Hunter. During a Wednesday morning appearance on Fox Business Network’s Mornings With Maria, Johnson boasted of a “volume of evidence” the House Republicans had gathered on the Biden “crime” schemes.
“It makes clear the corruption within these agencies, but it also makes clear the corruption of the mainstream media who will largely ignore and minimize it,” Johnson told pro-Trump host Maria Bartiromo.
At the same time, the Wisconsin lawmaker acknowledged that it would be difficult for the committee to actually prove its case, suggesting they’d have to rely on insinuation, innuendo, and conservatives distrust of the media…

… House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer released a 65-page memo detailing a sprawling investigation into Biden and some of his relatives, particularly his son Hunter Biden. Nowhere in the massive document was there a specific allegation of a crime committed by Biden or any of his relatives…
The memo accuses the Biden family of involvement in a “scheme to peddle influence” in Romania from 2015 to 2017, as well as financial dealings with individuals in China. Hunter Biden’s name comes up repeatedly. But the memo contains scant details of all of these alleged dealings, nor does it contain any evidence that any laws were broken or that Biden was involved in his son’s Chinese business.
Representative Jamie Raskin, the ranking member of the Oversight Committee, slammed Comer for having “failed to provide factual evidence to support his wild accusations about the president.”…
Time for a little conspiracy okey-doke to draw attention away from the fact their party is nothing but thieves and vandals. https://t.co/Lii5TcFPL1

Nothing the smart observers (like Mr. Pierce) didn’t predict in advance…
Spring has sprung. The birds are singing. The flowers are blooming. And, in our nation’s capital, the snipe are running strong for the local hunters. From Politico:
The two senior Republicans provided no further detail on the nature of those allegations. But the GOP has made clear for months that the ultimate goal of its Biden oversight is to find a smoking gun that might link the president to the business deals of his son Hunter, who is also under a federal investigation. Comer and Grassley say they became aware of the potential existence of material underpinning the anti-Biden allegations from a “highly credible whistleblower” who contacted lawmakers to assert knowledge of a conversation the FBI had with a confidential source.
Let us provide a little context here. Fox News is in disarray. The Republican Party can’t seem to keep itself from either proposing unpopular policies or nominating El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago for a third time, and he can’t seem to stop losing high profile legal battles. The loons are driving the train, and more and more people are starting to notice. So, obviously, it’s time for a little of the old conspiracy okey-doke to draw some attention away from the fact their party is nothing but thieves and vandals.
So we get an unidentifiable “highly credible whistleblower” who is said to “assert knowledge” of something some other confidential source told the FBI. Go to James Comer and Chuck Grassley and tell them you saw Hunter Biden lighting the Hindenburg on fire and you, too, can be a Highly Credible Whistleblower. Act now. Operators are standing by. This is a free call…
Speaking of serious allegations… Dianne Feinstein is back on Capitol Hill, to the bitter disappointment of certain Cosplay Socialists who hoped to have her name erased from the monuments. When are we gonna see a comparable clamor for the resignation of the GOP’s oldest, crankiest ‘thought leader’?
Two key words in this tweet:
“Believe”: What is the basis of Grassley’s belief? A staffer told him? He heard it on a radio show?
“Allegations”: Made by whom? A Republican Congressman? An old friend?
His tweet is deliberately vague and could mean almost anything. https://t.co/6h2nyGPOW7

@Barbara: Lack of evidence does not mean lack of crime. It just hasn’t been found yet. It is incumbent on the Biden’s to prove they haven’t committed any crimes, and if they can’t that itself is evidence that they have committed crimes. Doesn’t matter if the specific crimes can’t be named. Jeez, you libtards don’t understand anything.
JaneE
If there is evidence of a crime, charge it, take it to court, and let a jury decide if he is guilty or not. I doubt if any Democratic office holder, including his father, would take any other position. However, if there is no evidence of a crime, it becomes a smear and harassment campaign, and may rise to defamation or slander. Is Hunter Biden a public figure, or was he a public figure before the smears? If not, you probably should be careful to emphasize the “IF” part before “he is guilty”.

It was a pretty big deal even 20 years ago when Strom Thurmond seemed to be more focused on the goal of being the oldest living Senator (dying in office at age 100), without a second thought about stepping aside to let the, say, 80 year olds of his day have a shot.

@tobie: Mace’s district, the South Carolina 1st, used to be represented by Mark Sanford, the former Governor. He crossed Trump and got bounced in the 2018 primary by a tea party crank. That opened up a path for Joe Cunningham to become the district’s first Democratic Representative in decades.
Mace won the seat back in 2020, and then Republican redistricters redrew the 1st CD to be more Republican. Her bigger concern now is being primaried from the right, and it shows.
I think Mace also has her eye on Lindsey Graham’s Senate seat, so she wants to reinforce her right flank in case he retires in 2026.

@Jim, Foolish Literalist: I had this discussion on Twitter with Valdivia too. Yeah, it’s unfortunate that DiFi didn’t retire before this term, but she kind of can’t now even if she wants to.

Remember, an arbitrary retirement age would have deprived us of Biden and probably Pelosi. And younger Senators have had strokes. We all roll the dice on health and life and predictions often end up wrong.

I voted for Feinstein in 2018 because I thought Kevin De Leon was a sexist jerk. Turns out he’s also racist, so I don’t regret that vote. However, it’s also clear that Feinstein was not forthright about her health, and she shouldn’t have run in 2018. If she resigns now, Newsom will appoint a Democratic replacement, so there’s no reason to force herself to stay. Doing so is a disservice to her constituents and is damaging her legacy, She needs to step down.

Running for another six years in ‘24 isn’t reasonable given his age/health imo. He’s older than Biden by a year, but a senate seat is for six years vs four for president. AND he doesn’t have a young VP to step in if his health goes south in a hurry. Surely there’s someone he can get behind and support to succeed his seat?

@Goku (aka Amerikan Baka): I would like to see them show their justification for that type of smear as an official duty.

Unless they do have proof of multiple crimes by multiple Biden family members, that is a deliberate misrepresentation of their official actions. The courts may hold that any statement by an elected official is official speech, but I would not bet on it.
