House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said that his committee, which has been investigating the foreign business dealings of President Biden’s family members, will eventually move to subpoena the Biden family — a move Comer hinted could include the president himself.
“This is always going to end with the Bidens coming in front of the committee. We are going to subpoena the family,” Comer said Thursday on Fox Business.
“We know that this is going to end up in court when we subpoena the Bidens. So we’re putting together a case, and I think we’ve done that very well. We’ve shown the bank records,” Comer said. “If I had subpoenaed Joe and Hunter Biden the first day I became chairman of the committee, it would have been tied up in court and the judge would have eventually thrown it out. … We have put together a case that I think would stand up in any court of law in America.”
Comer’s subpoena tease comes a day after his committee released a third staff memo outlining millions of dollars in foreign funds paid to Hunter Biden and his former associates while Joe Biden was vice president.
That memo noted that the committee has so far only subpoenaed banks tailored to specific individuals and companies, but has not yet issued subpoenas for bank records for members of the Biden family.
Comer, though, indicated that subpoenas for members of the Biden family would not be imminent.
You know what people who operate legitimate investigations don't do? They don't announce on Fox Business that they're going to subpoena the president's family, and possibly the president himself.
Nothing good in the history of mankind has ever come from conservatism. Nothing at all. The more valuable time they waste in congress, the more civilized society should shun and exclude them from our daily lives.
I have no doubt they will wait to try to do this during the presidential election next year. He knows they have nothing except trying to make Biden look bad through innuendo and association, and that any hearings they hold will end with a whimper. Can't have it ending with a whimper before the election, so have to wait.
What would be hilarious is if the dude is packing a hog or something.
I don't know if it's just a meme or not because I have no interest in finding out, but word going around is that he's packing some pretty serious meat.
I hope the Bidens just ignore it. Take a page out what Trump and his team did last year and ignore it
When Democrats subpoenaed Don McGhan to testify and tried to take him to court for his refusal, the Appeals Court ruled that Congress never passed a law that allowed them to sue to enforce a subpoena, and thus, can't sue for that
That wasn't a penis, it's a hard drive. The it guy said if we put it in our mouth all the secret info will make itself known in an explosive manner. Trust me bro
How and why would you subpoena a "family" lmfao? Is this going to include Bo Biden, who volunteered for service in Afghanistan and died in the service?
If they have legitimate evidence a crime was commit. Good, question him.
Republican or Democrat doesn’t matter, show your evidence and if they are doing something illegal let’s get rid of em. Biden shouldnt be immune, nor should any other person.
Sure, maybe not, but are you positive? Is Biden/his family infallible for some reason?
If there might be weird ties to money, what’s wrong with investigating and getting their official statements? It could be political BS, but would you really rather just brush it off and dismiss it so quickly?
They want to make a case that "stands up" in the court of public opinion. That's all that really matters. And it's much, much easier to convince morons that there's a "Biden Crime Family" than it is to meet the standards of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in the courtroom.
And even then, their target audience is very specific: It's the population of right-leaning independent voters that don't need much of a nudge to go towards Trump. They don't need millions nationwide. All they need are a few thousand in juuuuust the right parts of various swing states to tip the election in Trump's favor, even if he once again loses the popular vote by a wide margin.
They're gonna get really loud about this closer to election season. There won't be any more substance to it than there is now but they'll certainly try.
If he did something illegal beyond what he's already plead to, lock him away. Same with the president. ANY president. I don't care if it's Biden, Trump, Obama, Clinton, GW, Clinton, Clinton, GHW, Reagan, Clinton, or fucking George Washington.
I saw this asshat trying to justify himself to Lawrence O'Donnell and one of his "Well isn't that SPECIAL..." stats was that just after Biden left Romania, someone in Romania wired money to his grand daughter.
Which sure SOUNDS damning when you put it that way...
Too bad it didn't actually happen that way...
Here's the timeline:
Biden spoke in Romania
One year later, Romanian national Gabriel Popoviciu wired money to Rob Walker.
Rob Walker later wired about 1/3rd of the $3 mil. to various Biden family members.
Lots of stones being thrown by folks in glass houses... I'm not sure the GOP really wants this kind of deep dive into their financials. If you think this is bad, I can't even imagine the kind of shit they're hiding.
Response from every single member of the Biden family:
"Dear Mr. Jordan,
We have received the subpoena and intend to treat it with the same level of respect and diligence as you and your colleagues have treated subpoenas in the past. Thank you and have a good day.
