'Eight months of abject failure': New report piles dirt on James Comer's impeachment inquiry - Raw Story

another republican majority session of the house with nothing to show for it but obstruction...

the deplorable desperate clingers got nothin' on President Biden . . . .more deflections from the former 'president' traitor scumlappingshitbag

the deplorable desperate clingers got nothin' on President Biden

It's pure projection on their end.  Since they cannot conceive of themselves being put in the same position and not making money off of it, they figure Biden must be the same.  Lack of evidence be damned.

time for large marge to show more dick pics of Hunter Biden

It is my firm opinion that the majority of Americans will see what these cretins really are and send them packing.

Yes, I live in a fantasy world. But when I say majority I totally leave out the MAGA crowd. They will never see reason

Another waste of taxpayers dollars. Have the missing whistle blowers ever shown up?

Because President Biden is innocent of crimes!

Unlike you know who, the orangutan hued one...

Jeremy Raskin released a long report this morning on Comer's investigation.  It is too long to post here in it's entirety, but this is a taste

Rather than owning up to the fact that the evidence in his “ top priority ” investigation has established no wrongdoing by President Biden, Chairman Comer has resorted to misrepresenting and distorting this huge body of evidence to make baseless and sensationalistic claims.

• Chairman Comer has   repeatedly , and without evidence,   asserted the falsehood that   President Biden has inappropriately received foreign money:  “We’ve got a President of the United States who’s taken millions and millions of dollars from bad people and bad countries around the world. […] We’ve got a President that’s compromised.  We’ve got a President who has violated laws, who should be treated as a criminal.  He’s the one that’s a criminal.”
  • These statements are plainly false with respect to President Biden—although they are almost certainly true of   Donald   Trump .
• Chairman Comer blatantly misrepresented Devon Archer’s statements to the Committee, falsely   asserting   that Mr. Archer “admitted that the Burisma executives were squeezing Hunter Biden to try to do everything he could to get the prosecutor Shokin fired, because they were going after their corrupt energy company.  And lo and behold, a few days later, Joe Biden actually did that.”
  • In actuality, Mr. Archer clarified that he   was informed   that then-Vice President Biden’s efforts leading an international coalition calling for the removal of corrupt Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin were “bad for Burisma” because Burisma had Mr. Shokin “under control.”
  • As   PolitiFact  reported :    “Archer testified that he had no reason to believe Shokin’s removal was because of anything other than the U.S. government’s anti-corruption policy in place at the time.”    Further , “Archer said he was not aware of any wrongdoing by Joe Biden, he didn’t witness the Bidens discussing Hunter’s business, and that he’s not aware that any foreign policy was changed to benefit Hunter Biden—which goes against claims that Republicans have long made about the Bidens.”
• Chairman Comer and other Committee Republicans have falsely suggested that Mr. Archer’s interview “ confirms ” that President Biden was “ involved ” in his son’s business dealings. 
  • In fact, Mr. Archer   established   that over the course of his nearly decade-long business relationship and friendship with Hunter Biden, he never heard Hunter Biden discuss business with his father and never knew the President to be involved in, or knowledgeable about, Hunter Biden’s business activities.
  • The Washington Post :  “Devon Archer’s testimony was hailed as a central breakthrough in implicating Joe Biden.  Instead, it has a top ally of Hunter Biden stating under penalty of perjury that Joe Biden was not involved in Hunter Biden’s business and that Biden’s trip to Ukraine in 2015 was not centered on protecting Burisma at all.”
• Chairman Comer has falsely stated that the alleged financial wrongdoing that Committee Republicans are investigating, including the information reportedly contained in certain SARs, implicate “ the entire [Biden] family .”
  • None of the SARs   reviewed   by Committee staff allege, refer to, or even suggest, any potential misconduct by President Biden,   nor do they show any involvement by President Biden   in Hunter Biden’s financial or business relationships. 
• Chairman Comer has   repeatedly   lied by   saying , “The Biden family received over $20 million from our enemies around the world.”
  • The Washington Post   fact checked   this false claim and confirmed:  “Only about $7 million can be directly attributed to Biden family members, mostly Hunter, while the rest went to “associates,” according to the memos. […] No evidence has emerged that any of these funds can be traced to Joe Biden himself.”
• Chairman Comer regularly lies about the business activities of Biden family members, for instance by   claiming :  “There are no legitimate businesses with the Bidens, not a single one. There’s nothing of these 20 shell companies that you can say produced a good or service.”  Similarly, Comer has dishonestly   claimed :  “President Biden and his family have created 20 fake companies, 20 shell companies that all that we can tell on the House Oversight Committee over the past seven months is that their sole purpose was to take money from foreign nationals and launder it down to at least nine different Biden family members in their personal accounts.”
  • A fact check by The Washington Post   established   that counter to Chairman Comer’s lies, “Virtually all of the companies (many of which now are defunct) had legitimate business interests.  Others had clearly identified business investments.”
  • Further, there is   no evidence   that President Biden had any   involvement, whatsoever, with any of these companies.
• Chairman Comer, on   multiple occasions , has   lied   about then-Vice President Biden’s email addresses and scheduling with his son,   saying ,   “Joe Biden was using a pseudonym and he copied his son about a shady, shady transaction where Joe Biden was going to leverage American tax dollars to save his son’s butt. … Along the same time period, we found a pseudonym where he copied Hunter Biden and it would lead one to believe that this was Joe Biden’s way of copying Hunter Biden to say, okay, send it to the Burisma owners and tell them help is on the way, and five days later, Joe Biden flew to Ukraine to begin the process of firing the prosecutor in exchange for America tax dollars in the form of foreign aid.”
  • A   fact check   by The Washington Post found this was a “whopper” of a false statement and gave Chairman Comer “Four Pinocchios” for his false “claims that Biden was sending a secret message to his son about how he was going to tell the Ukrainian president to fire the prosecutor—but the email was sent two months after the firing.  Skeptics may doubt whether Hunter Biden was copied on the email for family matters, but it’s certainly not because of the nefarious purpose suggested by Comer.”
  • The fact check also found Chairman Comer   misrepresented   then-Vice President Biden’s use of email aliases as unusual, pointing out it was a common and well-known government practice among high-ranking government officials to avoid having inboxes flooded with messages.
