Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) on Monday inadvertently implied that House Republicans’ high-profile investigation into President Joe Biden’s family members and their finances is actually about helping Donald Trump win the presidency in 2024.

Comer, who is leading the GOP’s probe as chair of the House oversight and accountability committee, appeared to say the quiet part out loud during a “Fox & Friends First” interview.

“We have talked to you about this on the show, about how the media can just not ignore this any longer. In an op-ed in The Washington Post, it says, ‘Millions Flowed to Biden Family Members. Don’t Pretend It Doesn’t Matter,’” said the show’s host, Ashley Strohmier, referring to a piece last week by conservative columnist Jim Geraghty. “So do you think that because of your investigation, that is what’s moved this needle with the media?”

“Absolutely. There’s no question,” Comer replied. “You look at the polling, and right now Donald Trump is 7 points ahead of Joe Biden and trending upward, Joe Biden’s trending downward. And I believe that the media is looking around, scratching their head, and they’re realizing that the American people are keeping up with our investigation.”

3. "Millions Flowed to Biden Family Members. Don't Pretend It Doesn't Matter." It sure didn't matter

when Trump's spawn and spawn-in-law were raking in millions during his presidency, including the, what, $2 billion from the Saudis to Jared Kushner?

I love how the enraged host in the clip says, "... and how the media cannot just IGNORE this any longer!" Oh, the irony.

5. "The American people are keeping up with our investigation"

You'd better hope that's not the case, Rep. Comer. Because so far, your committee has strained mightily and produced not so much as a gnat. But at least you're honest enough (or dumb enough) to state the real goal of your committee.
