They finally released the transcript and it does nothing to bolster their conspiracy theories

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) accused Donald Trump‘s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, of breaching ethical boundaries over a Saudi investment deal.

What Happened: The House Oversight Committee Chairman, in an interview with CNN, said that Kushner "crossed the line of ethics" as he accepted a $2 billion investment from the Saudi government for his private investment firm, six months after leaving the White House.

"I've been vocal that I think that what Kushner did crossed the line of ethics," Comer said.

But did he subpoena the bank accounts of the T crime family and follow the money leads, just like for Hunter BIden :think: :?:

Shirley you jest :roll:

I am sure, with all the media appearances Comer makes on the teevee, I have never, ever heard him mention Kushner.

Yeah - but when they could not get a "special counsel" they neither revealed the damning evidence they had in their hands :doh: :brickwallsmall: :cantlook:

So it's a Quantum Special Council. It both prevents and does not prevent them from indicting President Biden and revealing their evidence.

Hmmm - from what I remember about the National Archive law, they do not answer to this kind of FOIA requests. They can grant a researcher access to the archive documents for doing the research themselves as defined in the law. And iirc the respective president of the time has a veto right on the material for the first several decades. The current administration has the right to drop back on docs of the former administration. A FOIA request would only apply to the functions of the agency itself, not the archived data. Comer obviously does not know what he is doing :brickwallsmall:

Oversight Committee @GOPoversight wrote: 🚨CHINA WIRES LIST JOE’S HOME AS BENEFICIARY ADDRESS 🚨

A few months after Joe Biden announced his candidacy in 2019, information available to the Committee shows Hunter Biden received two wires from China for $250,000 and $10,000, including from Jonathan Li.

More alarming, the wires have Joe Biden’s home in Wilmington, DE as the beneficiary address.

Weeks after those payments were made, Hunter’s lawyer George Mesires said Hunter Biden served with BHR “only as a member of its board of directors,” which was purportedly an “unpaid position.”

Here is the breakdown of events.

2009-2017: During his time as Vice President and prior to later payments to Hunter Biden, evidence shows Joe Biden developed a familiar relationship with Jonathan Li. Devon Archer, a Biden business associate, described how Joe Biden met with Jonathan Li for coffee in Beijing, China, had a phone call with him, and wrote college recommendation letters for his children.

April 25, 2019: Joe Biden announced his candidacy in the 2020 presidential election.

July 26, 2019: Wang Xin wired $10,000 with Joe Biden’s home listed on the wire.

August 2, 2019: Jonathan Li wired $250,000 with Joe Biden’s home listed on the wire.

October 13, 2019: George Mesires, who served as Hunter Biden’s lawyer, stated, in part, that Hunter Biden served with BHR “only as a member of its board of directors,” which was purportedly an “unpaid position.”

October 22, 2020: During a presidential debate, Joe Biden said, “My son has not made money […] in China.”

It has your address on the wires, sir…

Hubs’ errant son has mail delivered to our house all the time. We set it aside and hand it to him, unopened, when he comes by. Show me the deposits into Joe’s bank acct.

The House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Hunter and James Biden, President Joe Biden’s son and brother, the panel announced Wednesday, setting up a highly anticipated showdown as House Republicans continue to search for whether the President committed an impeachable offense in connection to his family’s foreign business dealings – a high bar they have yet to meet.

The Republican-led panel also said it had subpoenaed a business associate of the Biden family, Rob Walker, and requested voluntary interviews with a list of individuals including Sara Biden, James’ Biden’s wife, Hallie Biden, the widow of the president’s oldest son, Beau Biden who Hunter Biden was romantically involved with, and Tony Bobulinski, another business associate of the President’s son.

Wednesday’s subpoenas are the first time the panel has directly subpoenaed members of the Biden family and come as House Republicans are focusing on a list of high-profile interviews they want to conduct before wrapping up their impeachment inquiry into the president.

So many phrases come to mind ... abuse of power ... show cause ... malicious prosecution.

It's all so pointless. I expect the Dems to have quite a lot to say. And I guess the fascists only hurt themselves.

So who thinks the Bidens will show up?
