"SNIP........

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) told Fox News that Republicans had lost track of a top witness in the investigation of President Biden and his family.

Said Comer: “Unfortunately, we can’t track down the informant. We’re hopeful that the informant is still there… We we’re hopeful that we can find the informant.”

"Democrat murder" of said informant in one two three...

Seriously, assuming they have a name, how difficult can it be to check to see if someone is still at their job or residence?

That's assuming, of course, that this "informant" ever actually existed, or wasn't a scam to begin with.

The RNC paid for his info in Apple gift cards and now he's impossible to be found.
It could happen to anyone, not only the old geezers in the republican party.

I actually think that may be close to what actually happened.

It just means they are getting ready to withdraw. They need cover, so they "lose" their informant. Perhaps they couldn't find anyone who wants to perjure themselves in front of Congress, and the nation, and so that's it.

Who loses an informant? Why tell us this? Are we supposed to be looking for him/her?

Some fake, non-existent scandal that involves Joe Biden, all an echo chamber, with Deep State informants who don't exist.

Beware, this is the same strategy. I'm already receiving emails, daily, with these types of headlines.

with proof - definite proof - the 2020 election was stolen from Trump. Be hilarious if Mike Lindell was their informant.

Why Republican voters can’t see through the constant BS their elected representatives spout instead of doing actual governing continues to be a mystery to me. These people are on record saying they want to cut Social Security and Medicare, take away healthcare for the poor by cutting Medicaid entirely, and forcing children to go hungry by cutting SNAP benefits. A lot of Republicans rely on those programs, but it never seems to occur to them that they would be hurt if they vote for Republicans and give them majorities to enact their policies. Why is this concept so hard to understand?

But when the time came decided to go underground.
Making things worse, he may not have been a US citizen. Perhaps a Nigerian prince?
