More nonsense from GOP Oversight Chair James Comer trying to validate Trump and his talking points: supposedly evil Democrats are colluding to "get him" and pretending Trump has done "nothing wrong."

More nonsense from GOP Oversight Chair James Comer trying to validate Trump and his talking points that supposedly evil Democrats are colluding to get him and pretending Trump has done nothing wrong to deserve being indicted.

Here's Comer whining on Fox Business Network last week and asserting, without evidence, as always, that Biden has been colluding with prosecutors in both Fulton County and Manhattan:

MACDONALD: House Judiciary led by Chair Jim Jordan sent a letter to AG Garland asking why did special counsel — also it looks like you are on this letter and Ways and Means Chair Smith, why did, you know, special counsel Jack Smith’s top aide, Jay Bratt, meet repeatedly with the Biden White House before indictments were handed down and deliver and pushed through by Jack Smith? So what’s going on there? Final word.

COMER: We don’t know. There should be no reason for that special counsel’s office to meet with the White House. The only thing that that we can think of is they’re coordinating. We believe that the White House coordinated with Alvin Bragg. We believe they’re coordinating with Fani Willis. We believe all of this is coordination because the White House is in panic mode because the House Oversight Committee has found their corruption, the corruption dating back to his years as vice president.

That’s why we’re concerned about his presidency. We believe he’s compromised because countries like Ukraine, Russia and China know that he broke the law. He was on the take. And we have evidence. And that’s why they’re trying to distract with all of this Trump coordinated court hearings now.

As the article at Raw Story noted, here's why we shouldn't take Comer seriously (other than the fact that's he's a Republican):

Republicans have seized on an unrelated meeting listed in White House visitor’s logs to falsely claim Biden colluded with Special Counsel Jack Smith ahead of the 37-count indictment related to violations of the Espionage Act. But Comer has now added DAs Willis and Bragg to the conspiracy.

These guys are desperate to attack both Smith and Willis, and manufacture any get out of jail excuse for Trump they can find. Someone let me know when they've got something they're willing to put up before some real public scrutiny and not just them going on wingnut media outlets and lying about what they've got.

We'll see how well the MAGA wing of the GOP House does if the seditionist caucus forces McCarthy to take a vote on impeachment. Somehow I don't believe more screams of "Hunter Biden!!!" are going to help them distract from Trump, and an obviously political impeachment of Biden as payback for Trump is likely to fail. It's also likely to bolster support for Biden, so have at it Comer. We'll see how this works out for you and your party.
