Fact: Rep. James Comer (R-KY) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) are
both hell-bent on impeaching President Joe Biden based on his son, Hunter, and
his / their perceived “shady deals” of the entire Biden family.
Comer should first look in the nearest mirror from two
reputable media sources: RAWSTORY
and the DAILY BEAST, as a reminder of his slick family money deals with these
their headlines:
“James Comer may have conflicts of interest
involving his own brother: Report”
“James Comer, Like Joe Biden, Also Paid His
Brother $200K”
Comer has been going after President Joe Biden because he
loaned his brother, James Biden, $200,000.
If that's the GOP standard, then Comer may want to
investigate himself, based on the following story details.
First article is from RAWSTORY: House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R-KY) has been investigating the allegedly “shady business practices of President Joe Biden and his family,” but he's engaged in similar practices with his own relatives.
Comer subpoenaed the president's brother
James Biden and son Hunter Biden, and will no doubt ask about two personal loan
payments between the siblings in 2017 and 2018 – BTW: when Joe Biden was neither
in office nor a candidate.
Then the other article reference is from the Daily Beast: Comer may have conflicts of interest involving big
money between him & his brother: “According
to KY property records, Comer and his brother have engaged in land swaps
related to their family farming business. In one deal, also involving $200,000
as well as a shell company, the powerful and influential Comer channeled money
to his brother, seemingly from nothing. Recent land swaps quickly followed with
new applications for special tax breaks, the KY state records show.
NOTE: All of that and more all related to the
dealings of his family’s company appears never to have even existed on official
paper.
“Comer has held important positions in agriculture oversight since 2003,
while running a family farming business, and those roles overlapped in 2019,
the year of the land swaps. He only stepped back from an agriculture oversight
role recently, in 2020 — one year after the family business pivoted away from
farming.
“The land swaps between Comer and his brother Chad Comer occurred months
after their father died in January 2019 without leaving a will, and the
siblings set about dividing up his properties in Kentucky and Tennessee in a
series of complicated transactions sometimes involving a shell company they set
up. For instance, Chad Comer bought out his brother’s half of a piece of
inherited Kentucky property, paying $100,000, according to deed records in
Monroe County, KY. Five months later, James and his wife Tamara TJ Comer, bought the
property out in full, this time paying Chad Comer $218,000. The buyout netted
Chad Comer an unexplained $18,000 above the total value in July.
“That purchased involved Farm Team Properties, LLC, which Comer's
financial disclosures described as: A land management and real estate
speculation company with a range of value between $200,000 and $500,000 – but
in two years had jumped into the $1 million range.
“In another swap — this one in April, 2019 — James Comer gifted his
brother, via a $1 transaction, his share of two inherited tracts in Clay
County, TN with a share value being $175,000, according to the deed of sale.
The value of James Comer’s share matches the value of the full property in
1994, when the brothers, and their father first acquired it for $175,000,
according to the deed.”
Note: Comer exercised government influence over his family's businesses for nearly two decades.
Comer did not respond to a request for comment, however, ethics experts say Comer's overlapping public and private roles raise serious conflicts of interest questions.
Delaney
Marsco, senior counsel for ethics at nonpartisan watchdog Campaign Legal Center
(CLC) says: “Conflicts of interest
can occur when members serve on committees overseeing industries in which they
are heavily invested or in which their business interests are intertwined.
Voters have a right to know that lawmakers are using their considerable power
in the interest of the public, not to game a personal business advantage.”
My 2 Cents: Comer and Jordan are both weasels and sorry ones
at that … there is no there, there about anything to start an impeachment of
Joe Biden except to please and appease Trump.
So, drop this charade and get
on with the people’s business and that of the nation and stop your petty
craziness. Shame on you both.
Thanks for stopping by.
