James Comer lashes out after Hunter Biden demands oversight testimony be public

Hunter Biden called Rep. James Comer's (R-KY) bluff — and it appears to have worked.

On Tuesday, President Joe Biden's son said that he would testify to Comer's House Oversight and Reform Committee, but only if it was in public. Comer had requested that it be behind closed doors.

And Fox correspondent Chad Pergram reported that Comer is lashing out at the request for transparency.

"Hunter Biden is trying to play by his own rules instead of following the rules required of everyone else," Pergram paraphrased Comer as saying. "That won’t stand with House Republicans. Our lawfully issued subpoena to Hunter Biden requires him to appear for a deposition on December 13."

"We expect full cooperation with our subpoena for a deposition but also agree that Hunter Biden should have [the] opportunity to testify in a public setting at a future date," he continued.

He hasn't revealed why he doesn't want Biden's hearing to be public.

Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) pointed out that Republicans tend to distort what is said behind closed doors.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) agreed: "Refusing to hold a public hearing allows the party in power to construct their own version of the 'truth.' If House Republicans have the "smoking gun" they claim they have, why are they afraid to show it to the American people? What are they trying to hide?"

There have been two previous offers by the Biden team to cooperate with the Oversight Committee that Comer has turned down, Biden's lawyer Abbe Lowell's letter to Congress says.


Lowell's letter also points out that there is no legislative purpose for the hearing with the younger Biden. Republicans have said that they began an "impeachment inquiry," but they have not formally voted to open a legal impeachment investigation. Without such a vote, Republicans would need a legislative purpose for the hearing — and that's a legal discrepancy that may be headed to court.

Joseph Costello, press secretary for the Oversight Democrats, posted a video of Comer making it clear he was fine with a hearing and, further, that he would agree to testify alongside Biden.

"I will be happy — I will sit with Hunter Biden and Jim Biden, and we can go over our LLCs. [...] Let's do that. Let's do that. We'll be transparent," said Comer.

Two weeks ago, James Comer committed to testifying, alongside Hunter Biden, about the Comer family “shell companies:” "I will be happy—I will sit with Hunter Biden and Jim Biden, and we can go over our LLCs. [...] Let's do that. Let's do that. We'll be transparent."

Chairman Comer subpoenaed Hunter Biden. Hunter has agreed to testify in Public. The Chairman wants to do this in a dark closed room not open to America.

Ah!
So NOW despicables want full disclosure!

Maybe we can get brandon to negotiate;
Nancy's star chamber bunch releases their hidden stuff, comer's bunch releases theirs!

What say, american hater? Fair trade?

 

So shooter, since your all about full disclosure. When will Trump and the GOP provide any evidence on how the 2020 election was stolen?

 

Crazy camp follower dismissed

 

Then stop by a hypocrite about full disclosure, eh

 

Meds, silty, take the meds

 

What is conveniently overlooked by the 'frothing-at-the-mouth' crowd is that Hunter needs to abide by House rules. The House does not abide by his rules.

Simple.

 

Attaboy

 

As long as the electorate is equally divided and polarized we can expect the party that does not have the presidency will try to impeach the president. This is a waste of time and money that is completely irrelevant to solving national problems, and making life better for most Americans.

 

You didn't seem to have this opinion when it was the Democrats wasting time and money to try impeaching Trump (twice).... This just shows how hypocritical you liberals are...

"This is a waste of time and money that is completely irrelevant to solving national problems, and making life better for most Americans."

That is what the Democrats have been doing for as long as I can remember....

As for the impeachment thing, all I can say is KARMA!!!!

 

Well if its so simple then tell us specifically what the House rules are all knowing Clarise? Or you could prove again what a simpleton you really are.

 

I keep saying it. These stupid and ignorant treasonous conservative/America Hating/Republicans are just sitting ducks. They spend all their time screaming into the right wing false propaganda noise machine echo chamber. And then just make laughable fools of themselves. They just can't get it that the majority of Americans are now willing to suspend all disbelief. And can remember what they said in the past.



James Comer Says Democrats Unable to ‘Conduct Themselves in a Mature’ Way After He Yelled Profanity and Called Colleague a ‘Smurf’ in Hearing

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) accused Democrats of being unable to act maturely during committee hearings two weeks after he yelled profanity during a committee hearing.

In the same meeting, he also called a colleague a “Smurf.”

Comer, who chairs the Oversight Committee, has been investigating Hunter Biden’s business dealings, which the lawmaker claims involve his father, President Joe Biden. In literally hundreds of television appearances this year, Comer has repeatedly claimed the elder Biden acted improperly, if not illegally. His committee has yet to find evidence of wrongdoing.

The Kentucky Republican joined Tuesday’s edition of The Balance on Newsmax, where he railed against Hunter Biden’s refusal to give a deposition in front of the committee during a closed-door hearing. Earlier in the day, Biden’s attorney said his client will sit in front of the committee, but only in a public setting.


Comer told host Eric Bolling his committee has many questions for Hunter Biden and stated that a public hearing featuring Democratic members would be disruptive:



This is very important. This is a credible investigation. This is substantive. We’re doing this investigation the way it’s supposed to be done, and the subpoena calls for Hunter Biden to come in for a deposition. And that’s what we expect to have – a deposition where the transcripts will be released. When you have a deposition, the committee votes to release the transcripts. After the January 6th committee, the depositions were filmed. So this deposition will be filmed.

This will be testifying in public, but not in a chaotic scene where the Democrats, who have already demonstrated they can’t, uh, conduct themselves in a mature, credible manner during a hearing.

Comer added that he would hold a public hearing after Biden gives a deposition.

The congressman has pointed to two checks for $200,000 and $40,000 to Joe Biden from his brother, Jim Biden. They were each designated, “loan repayment.” Comer has suggested these checks were part of a nefarious scheme involving shell companies to enrich Joe Biden via Hunter Biden’s business.

In a twist, a report by the Daily Beast showed Comer paid his brother $200,000 via what might also be called a “shell company.” The report did not accuse Comer of wrongdoing, but pointed out that by the standards he is applying to the Bidens, he could just as credibly – or incredibly – be accused of shady practices.


When Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-NJ) brought the report to Comer’s attention during a hearing earlier this month, the Republican fumed at him.

“That story that you tweeted also said that I had a shell company. That is bullshit!” Comer raged. “I think that the problem is, you know, the White House tried to get CNN to write that story. They went around and investigated all this bullshit.”

When Moskowitz – dressed in blue – tried to reclaim his time, Comer got even more animated.

“No! I’m not going to give you your time back! We can stop the clock. You all continue to— you look like a Smurf here.”

Smurf .................... aw God, there's a new nickname!

 

I will believe it when I see it. Because I do not believe they have the votes. And you can bet President Biden and the Democrats hope they do, It would be a great campaign advantage.

So let's put a marker on this one to see if they actually try it.


GOP considers holding formal vote to authorize Biden impeachment as White House questions legitimacy

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans are considering holding an official House vote next month to authorize their impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden as the party looks to formalize a process that has yet to yield any direct evidence of wrongdoing by the president.

GOP leaders floated the possibility of a vote during a closed-door meeting with Republican lawmakers Wednesday, according to a person familiar with the discussion who was granted anonymity to discuss the private meeting.

The possible reversal from the House Republicans' previous stance comes amid a standoff with the White House over requests for information related to Biden and his family. Republican leaders have long said a vote on the impeachment investigation was unnecessary, but are reconsidering as White House lawyers use the lack of formal House authorization to argue that the entire investigation lacks “constitutional legitimacy.”


Yet holding a vote on the impeachment investigation would be a high-stakes gambit by House Republican leadership, with no guarantee of success, given their narrow 222-213 majority. With Democrats united against the impeachment push, GOP leaders would need near-unanimous support from their side for the vote to succeed.

A vote on the impeachment investigation would put every House Republican on record in support of a process that can lead to the ultimate penalty for a president, dismissal from office for what the Constitution describes as “high crimes and misdemeanors.” For some moderate Republicans, especially those representing swing districts that Biden won in the 2020 election, it's a vote that could come with considerable political risk.

The White House called the proposal an effort by Republicans “to distract from their own chaos and dysfunction.”

“House Republicans have already proven this is an illegitimate exercise not rooted in facts and the truth but only in a political desire to smear the president with lies, and the American people see right through it,” Ian Sams, a White House spokesman, said in a statement.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has expressed some caution about the impeachment push, warning against a rush to judgment. But he says the evidence already uncovered by Republican chairmen is “alarming.”

“While we take no pleasure in the proceedings here, we have a responsibility to do it,” Johnson said at a press conference Wednesday with the leaders of the investigation.

Johnson's comments came just over a week after he traveled to Mar-a-Lago to meet with former President Donald Trump, who has been publicly pushing his Republican allies in Congress for months to impeach Biden in retribution for Democrats’ two impeachments of him.

But Republicans have been struggling to show progress in the nearly year-long probe of the president and business deals by members of his family, including his son, Hunter Biden. They have presented no evidence to prove that the president, in his current or previous office, abused his role or accepted bribes.

Then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy opened an impeachment inquiry of Biden in September, saying that the allegations themselves warrant further investigation by lawmakers. But at the time, McCarthy refused to schedule a formal vote to authorize the inquiry, a step that while not required has been done in the past to legitimize the constitutional process of impeaching a commander-in-chief.

Since then, Republicans have moved full steam ahead with their probe, digging deeper into the family finances, particularly payments that Hunter Biden received from Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company that became tangled in the first impeachment of former President Donald Trump.

The White House has insisted Biden was not involved in his son’s business dealings. House Democrats have also been unified in their opposition, claiming that the inquiry is an effort to detract attention from former Trump’s legal challenges and turn a negative spotlight on Biden.

Republican leaders have pushed back in recent weeks, seeking to paint the investigation as a necessary process of checks and balances on the Biden family.

“House Republicans have worked tirelessly on behalf of the American people for months to deliver transparency, following the money and the facts to uncover what I believe will prove to be one of the largest political corruption scandals of our lifetime and potentially in our nation’s history,” Rep. Elise Stefanik, a member of the GOP leadership team, said at the press conference Wednesday.

But despite being resolute from the top, many moderate Republicans have panned the evidence so far as not reaching the Constitution’s bar of “high crimes and misdemeanors," required for impeachment. Those same people, who will likely vote next month to authorize the inquiry, have questioned the ability of leaders to ultimately garner enough GOP support to pass articles of impeachment against Biden on the House floor.

Only three other presidents have been impeached: Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton and Trump, who was impeached twice.

To date, no president has ever been forced from the White House through impeachment. But former Republican President Richard Nixon resigned in 1974 as the House was preparing to take a vote on impeachment articles against him.

Apparently then the dispicables want to steal a page from the trump book.

With every impeachment, every investigation, every indictment trumps popularity spikes and contributions pour in.

And Brandon has finally tripped to the fact. He needs serious help.

Good for Brandon. Go for it.

 

Repukes desperately want to impeach Biden to keep him off the ballot. This way Biden can't trounce Trump again. Anything for the der fuhrer, eh

 

You expose the despicable plan.
Get trump no matter what it takes.

 

So Biden didn't trounce Trump in 2020?

 

House GOP discussing vote to formalize Biden impeachment inquiry
House Republicans are expected to discuss the matter at a Friday meeting.

House Republicans are expected to huddle behind closed doors Friday morning to discuss holding a vote formalizing an impeachment inquiry into President Biden, Fox News Digital has learned.

Three sources familiar with discussions said GOP leaders are strongly considering a House-wide vote to approve an investigation into Biden.

The Friday morning meeting is expected to see chairmen of the three committees probing Biden and his family — Oversight Chairman James Comer, R-Ky.; Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio; and Ways & Means Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo. — to make their case to the House GOP Conference.

Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., directed the House to open an impeachment inquiry into Biden in September, but the White House has dismissed the probe as illegitimate without a formal vote on the matter.

GOP leaders believe that holding a House-wide vote on formalizing the impeachment inquiry would make it harder for the Biden administration to resist House Republicans’ subpoenas and requests for information, one source explained.

And moderate Republicans have indicated they see enough need to investigate Biden to support Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., holding a vote on an inquiry.
