For James Comer, the past eight months have been a complete and total failure, with Comer wasting all of his committee’s time on a series of political stunts that have failed to uncover a shred of evidence of wrongdoing against President Biden. Earlier today, the Congressional Integrity Project released a new report highlighting the total and complete lack of evidence that James Comer has uncovered in the past eight months of congressional investigations.
These investigations are nothing but political stunts designed to hurt President Biden ahead of the 2024 presidential election all to help Donald Trump and MAGA. James Comer and the other MAGA House Republicans continue to show they will do absolutely anything to hype up their disgraced former president and distract the public from his upcoming four criminal cases. Read the full report here.
The Guardian: Biden Impeachment Inquiry ‘Eight Months Of Abject Failure’, Watchdog Report Says. “James Comer, the ambitious chairman of the House of Representatives’ oversight committee, has repeatedly overhyped allegations of bribery and corruption against Biden without once producing hard evidence, according to the Congressional Integrity Project… ‘After months of political stunts, dozens of hearings, transcribed interviews, and memos, and despite hours on Fox peddling conspiracy theories, Comer and his Maga crew have failed to find a single shred of evidence linking President Biden to any of their lurid accusations,’ says the report by the Congressional Integrity Project, which monitors the Republican investigations. ‘In fact, Republicans have been forced to walk back claim after claim.’” [The Guardian, 9/11/23]
The Messenger: Watchdog: Biden Impeachment Inquiry Has Been ‘8 Months of Abject Failure’. “The Congressional Integrity Project, a left-of-center advocacy group, released a report Monday titled ‘James Comer’s 8 Months of Abject Failure.’ Congressional Integrity Project executive director Kyle Herrig blasted Comer’s investigations in a statement, saying all he’s proven is he’s incapable of leading the House Oversight Committee. ‘As Kevin McCarthy seems ready and willing to bow to Donald Trump and extremist MAGA members like Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene by moving forward with impeachment based on Jamie Comer’s investigation, it’s important to recognize that the only thing Comer has proved so far is that he is not capable of conducting legitimate oversight and should not be trusted to lead this important committee,’ Herrig wrote.” [The Messenger, 9/11/23]
The Hill: Left-Leaning Watchdog Calls Comer’s Investigation Into Biden A ‘Complete And Total Failure’. “A left-leaning watchdog group railed against House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), calling his investigation into President Biden and his family’s foreign business deals a ‘complete and total failure.’ ‘The past eight months have been a complete and total failure, with Comer wasting all of his committee’s time on a series of political stunts that have failed to uncover a shred of evidence of wrongdoing against President Biden,’ Kyle Herrig, the executive director of the Congressional Integrity Project, wrote in a statement Monday.” [The Hill, 9/11/23]
The New Republic: Republican Investigation Into Biden Is an “Abject Failure”: Watchdog Report. “James Comer’s investigation into President Joe Biden’s alleged corruption has resulted in ‘eight months of abject failure,’ a watchdog group’s new report said. Republicans have insisted for months, despite producing no actual evidence, that Biden is guilty of corruption and influence peddling overseas. Comer, the House Oversight Committee chairman, has led the charge, constantly claiming that he is one star witness or bank record away from revealing the grisly truth. […] Republicans are expected to open an impeachment inquiry into Biden to prove that he benefited from his son Hunter’s business dealings overseas. But they have yet to find any evidence that Biden was ever involved in Hunter’s work. The president’s utter lack of involvement matches testimony from multiple supposed whistleblowers. Republicans have heard testimony from IRS agents, Hunter’s former business partner Devon Archer, and former Rudy Giuliani associate Lev Parnas. None of them was able to provide concrete evidence that Biden was involved in his son’s business. In fact, both Archer and Parnas said nothing could be further from the truth.” [The New Republic, 9/11/23]
Raw Story: ‘Eight Months Of Abject Failure’: New Report Piles Dirt On James Comer’s Impeachment Inquiry. “The Congressional Integrity Project faulted House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R-KY) for ‘eight months of abject failure’ to prove the president was guilty of wrongdoing related to his son, Hunter Biden, although polls show the effort had convinced 42 percent of Americans that he had acted illegally, reported The Guardian. ‘After months of political stunts, dozens of hearings, transcribed interviews, and memos, and despite hours on Fox peddling conspiracy theories, Comer and his MAGA crew have failed to find a single shred of evidence linking President Biden to any of their lurid accusations,’ the watchdog report says. ‘In fact, Republicans have been forced to walk back claim after claim.’” [Raw Story, 9/11/23]
Vanity Fair: House Democrats: Republicans Backing Biden Impeachment Should Just Give It a Rest. “Despite constant investigations since assuming the House majority in January, Republicans haven’t found proof to support either one of their core justifications for seeking impeachment: that Biden, as vice president, profited from the international business dealings of his family, and that Biden used his position to run an influence-peddling scheme with foreign actors. Nevertheless, a spokesperson for Oversight Republicans—who are spearheading the probe into the president’s business dealings—told Fox News Digital Monday that there is ‘mounting evidence’ showing that ‘then vice president Joe Biden was ‘the brand’ that his family sold around the world to enrich the Bidens.’ The White House has repeatedly denied these accusations, and the Congressional Integrity Project—a Democrat-aligned activist group monitoring the GOP’s Biden probes—has refuted them as well, issuing a rebuttal that tracked closely with Raskin’s memo. ‘After months of political stunts, dozens of hearings, transcribed interviews, and memos, and despite hours on Fox peddling conspiracy theories, Comer and his MAGA crew have failed to find a single shred of evidence linking President Biden to any of their lurid accusations,’ the group stated in a new report. ‘In fact, Republicans have been forced to walk back claim after claim.’” [Vanity Fair, 9/11/23]
