Rep. Comer (R-KY): Using Trump's Pet Word "Witch Hunt" Now Aimed at the Bidens

 

Comer'sDirty Dozenalso aiming at the FBI

This post is long, but addresses the need to get the crazed man looking for Zebras in the forest about President Biden and his family, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), out of office ASAP.  

Memo for Comer, Zebras don’t live in the forest just like there’s no there in the corruption scandal that he seeks to prove corruption in the entire Biden family based the MAGA base and his opinion more than any on facts of any crimes.

This latest nutty story from the Washington Examiner headline:

“Comer says FBI documents suggest a new adversarial country paid Biden and It’s not China”

Chairman of the House Oversight Committee,  Rep. James Comer (R-KY) said the subpoenaed Biden documents alleging criminal schemes involving President Joe Biden and an unnamed “foreign national” will reveal a new country tied to Biden family payments.

Comer’s tactics and word, whatever they are, reminded me of this from AZ GOP Speaker of the House Rusty Bowers while testifying to the January 6 committee when he said he repeatedly pressed Rudy Giuliani for proof of his claims of election fraud after the 2020 election. 

Bowers told the committee my recollection is that he (Giuliani) said: We’ve got lots of theories, we just don’t have the evidence.”

Comer told Newsman Rob Schmitt when asked about the “foreign national origin saying:It was a country that we haven't discussed yet. It's not Romania. It's not China. It is another country that we'll be discussing further. We're trying to track down some new bank account. I tell people, the most reputable country that I have found that the Biden family was taking money from is China, if that tells you anything.”

Comer said further explained that the FBI's FD-1023 form specifically claims Biden received at least $5 million in the monetary exchange saying: I think you're going to see that the Biden family took in somewhere — we've already proven $10 million — I think this is going to end up being somewhere between $15 and $30 million.”

Comer then announced that FBI Director Christopher Wray confirmed the existence of the FD-1023 form alleging the “criminal bribery scheme involving Biden during his vice presidency under Obama. 

But, Comer said that Wray failed to commit to providing the form to the House Oversight Committee, despite a subpoena, and says he is now drafting a bill to hold Wray in contempt of Congress.

My 2 Cents: It is painfully clear to me and I hope to all rational people who read this that Rep. Comer is fixated on the Biden’s and is out to get them anyway possible and levy revenge for Trump’s MAGA crowd. All the while Comer skips over the now infamous con and criminal ever in presidential history: Donald J. Trump.

I say to Comer: How about pursing these well documented cases involving the entire Trump clan if you dare.

This list is long, but is needed for the record

Here’s what to know about the conflict-of-interest and money-related questions that have been raised by the foreign business dealings of Trump family, and how they compare to what’s known about Hunter Biden and his business ventures.

Donald Trump Jr: While his father was in office, Jr. traveled to Asia to promote the Trump Organization’s projects with government travel and protection.

* On a business trip to India in 2018, for example, he appeared with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and flirted with giving a policy speech, but ultimately decided not to as his father faced criticism about family business dealings affecting foreign policy.

* On a trip to Indonesia in 2019, he touted two planned Trump-branded luxury resorts and he defended his continued involvement in the family business amid allegations of conflicts of interest.

* One year before, his business partner, Hary Tanoesoedibjo, announced that their conglomerate was receiving one half a billion dollars from an arm of the Chinese government to build a theme park. Tanoesoedibjo, himself the leader of an Indonesian political party, then said the Trump resorts were unconnected and not backed by Chinese funding.

* Jr., along with Kushner also held that infamous meeting with the corrupt Russian lawyer in Trump Tower which was the same meeting in which daddy Trump would later admit was intended to help the 2016 campaign get dirt on Hillary Clinton.

Eric Trump: Also was a Trump Organization executive during the Trump presidency and he, like Donald Jr., attended campaign and official events at government expense. As allegations about Hunter Biden swirled in 2019, Eric said:Our family got out of all international business.” 

But, that was no true because in 2019, Eric issued a celebratory tweet for a “new phase of development at a Trump property in Scotland.”

Ivanka Trump: She also served as an adviser to her father and even had a West Wing office. 

At the same time, she continued to own her own clothing brand for a year and a half while serving in the White House before shutting it down in 2018. Her company depended on foreign workforces in China and Indonesia.

Before all that down, she received several trademarks for businesses deals in China that included voting machines around the same time her father said he was working to help protect jobs at a Chinese telecommunications company. Experts told the NY Times in 2018 that the timing did not seem to be unusual, but suggested that her famous name may have benefitted her in the process.

Jared Kushner (Trump’s son-in-law): Kushner also served as a senior adviser to Trump, and he was deeply involved in the administration’s foreign policy in the ME and befriending Saudi crown prince, MBS, while attempting to broker peace in the region. 

Kushner was also involved in business deals in the region during this period. For example, in 2017, his family’s real estate company got $30 million from Menora Mivtachim, one of Israel’s largest financial institutions that was just one of the deals the company made with connections to that region. 

The same year, Kushner’s sister promoted her family’s NJ building while in Beijing, touting special investment visas to Chinese investors. 

In 2018, Brookfield Asset Management made a deal to pay 99 years of rent on a Manhattan skyscraper that Kushner’s family’s real estate company owned. One biggest investors was from Qatar, even though Kushner said Qatar did not know about the deal before it was made public. 

Kushner’s family also had previously sought a deal on the building with a Chinese firm. 

The biggie: Kushner’s business in the ME continued even after the Trump presidency ended. Soon after Kushner departed the White House, a fund led by the Saudi crown prince MBS invested $2 billion in Kushner’s private equity firm, while funds in the UAE and Qatar invested hundreds of millions of dollars

Another company partly owned by Kushner received Saudi funds as well. The deals have drawn criticism for, at minimum, creating the appearance of Kushner receiving potential payback for his efforts while in the White House. 

So, why is Rep. Comer silent and not focused on all that Trump family related stuff? Fear of the “Wrath of Don” I suspect.  

Thanks for stopping by.
