James Comer must probe Biden bribe claims, NOT just FBI
Rep. James Comer, Sen. Chuck Grassley and different congressional GOPers are lifeless proper to take the battle to the FBI over its longtime interference-running for the Biden mafia, most not too long ago seen in Director Christopher Wray’s refusal handy over key paperwork round allegations that Joe Biden took an enormous bribe in change for coverage selections as vice chairman.
However what’s taking place when it comes to investigating the allegations themselves?
They know their full substance: that Joe and son Hunter obtained a complete of $10 million for backing the ouster of a Ukrainian prosecutor wanting into Mykola Zlochevsky, the pinnacle of Ukrainian power firm Burisma, which paid Hunter a juicy wage for a board place (although he lacked any expertise within the sector or Ukraine itself).
They know that these allegations come by way of a high-ranking Burisma exec, presumably Zlochevsky himself, and that this exec claims to have each Joe and Hunter on tape; they know the title and standing of the whistleblower — apparently a daily, dependable supply for the FBI since 2010.
And so they know the claims don’t come by way of Rudy Giuliani; the FBI merely surfaced the 2017 allegations after he raised comparable points.
So whereas Comer & Co. have to carry the hammer down on FBI malfeasance — as they’ve been doing — they should do something and every thing attainable to get on the information of the case right here.
That features testimony from Zlochevsky: These tapes, in the event that they exist, must be heard.
Sure, Republicans have referred to as for a particular counsel, however do they actually suppose Joe Biden will enable one to be appointed?
They should get entangled themselves.
Smoke alone just isn’t sufficient. The Congress members concerned in these probes want to indicate America the precise fireplace.
A give attention to course of, i.e. the FBI’s shady dodging, makes it too simple for Dems like Rep. Jamie Raskin (and Biden himself, who blurted out a lame joke when requested by a reporter concerning the bribe allegations) to dismiss the affair out of hand — and likewise says nothing concerning the greater public-interest story right here.
That may be whether or not or not the person now serving as president took an eight-figure bribe to assist out an oligarch and break up it even-steven along with his ne’er-do-well national-security-risk son.
The nation must know quickly.
That very same man can be the Dems’ anointed presidential candidate for 2024.
And one other election the place Biden’s true colours are hidden by mates in excessive locations could be a actual risk to democracy.
