'Can we keep it about Hunter Biden?' GOPer refuses to talk about Jan. 6 at press conference
By: David Edwards (Raw Story - Celebrating Years of Independent Journalism)
yeah, let's talk about family members that have profited by being related to a ranking elected official...
Rep. James Comer (R-KY) pleaded with reporters not to ask questions about Jan. 6 while announcing an investigation into President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
Just days after the 2022 midterm elections, House Republicans on the Oversight and Judiciary Committees held a joint press conference to announce their investigations.
At one point, reporters asked if the investigations would include the fallout from the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) is expected to be the House Judiciary Committee chairman but would not give a straight answer.
"Do you think the Jan. 6 insurrectionists have been wrongly imprisoned?" the reporter wondered.
"I didn't say anything!" Jordan exclaimed. "All I said is we're going to look at the politics of the Justice Department based on the fact that we have had 14 different — actually more than 14 now — whistleblowers come talk to us."
"If we could keep it about Hunter Biden," Comer pleaded. "This is kind of a big deal we think. If we can keep it about Hunter Biden that would be great."
Another reporter pressed about the future of the Jan. 6 Committee.
Comer seemed exasperated.
"I think that's a question for Kevin McCarthy," he said.

the hypocrisy of the GOP has no boundaries...
They're desperate, deplorable, pathetic.
The GOP extremists are going to take part in that self-destructive process known as "getting high on your own supply" . In other words, they will get carried away to the point that it will destroy them in the eyes of the majority of the American people. Let's go !
The entirety of the GOP agenda for the next two years. Retribution and revenge. And it won’t stop with Hunter…expect immediate calls for impeachment hearings to begin.
backwards into the future...
I can see how this BS will only endear them even more to younger voters and independents...
The Freak Show begins.
Wait... So Hunter Biden has figured out how to make money using his wealthy and powerful father's influence? THAT'S GENIUS! I wonder how it's possible that nobody ever thought of that before.
so nice of them to open up this can of worms...
"If we could keep it about Hunter Biden," Comer pleaded.
The Republicans said the election was about inflation.
Obviously, the best way to deal with inflation is to investigate Hunter Biden.
The Senate needs to investigate every side deal the Trump Klan has with foreign businesses and especially foreign governments. Because, as with Hunter, they are obviously proof of corruption!
By next Monday with their super powers inflation will be tame, interest rates will be 0 the war in Ukraine will be settled the national debt will be 0, the southern border will be sealed and Elon musk will finally figure out WTF he is doing at twitter.
the countdown starts now.
