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.

    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.

    So, no evidence Biden was involved in the ask or the payment. LOL.

      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.
