House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said that his committee, which has been investigating the foreign business dealings of President Biden’s family members, will eventually move to subpoena the Biden family — a move Comer hinted could include the president himself.
“This is always going to end with the Bidens coming in front of the committee. We are going to subpoena the family,” Comer said Thursday on Fox Business.
“We know that this is going to end up in court when we subpoena the Bidens. So we’re putting together a case, and I think we’ve done that very well. We’ve shown the bank records,” Comer said. “If I had subpoenaed Joe and Hunter Biden the first day I became chairman of the committee, it would have been tied up in court and the judge would have eventually thrown it out. … We have put together a case that I think would stand up in any court of law in America.”
Comer’s subpoena tease comes a day after his committee released a third staff memo outlining millions of dollars in foreign funds paid to Hunter Biden and his former associates while Joe Biden was vice president.
That memo noted that the committee has so far only subpoenaed banks tailored to specific individuals and companies, but has not yet issued subpoenas for bank records for members of the Biden family.
Comer, though, indicated that subpoenas for members of the Biden family would not be imminent.
They want to make a case that “stands up” in the court of public opinion. That’s all that really matters. And it’s much, much easier to convince morons that there’s a “Biden Crime Family” than it is to meet the standards of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in the courtroom.
And even then, their target audience is very specific: It’s the population of right-leaning independent voters that don’t need much of a nudge to go towards Trump. They don’t need millions nationwide. All they need are a few thousand in juuuuust the right parts of various swing states to tip the election in Trump’s favor, even if he once again loses the popular vote by a wide margin.
