Rep. James Comer is on a crusade to expose a president's son. Too bad it's the wrong son.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., has turned “investigating” President Joe Biden and his family into a 24/7 crusade. His rationale? According to a tweet blasted out Friday, Comer is merely trying to determine whether or not the president “has compromised national security.”

It’s a bold accusation, especially due to the lack of evidence. The committee began with a hearing earlier in February purportedly investigating U.S. intelligence efforts to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story on social media. But that hearing revealed no bombshells — and very little information. It was a predictable outcome, but a frustrating one, nonetheless.

Because if House Republicans are so concerned about foreign influence over a first family, all of Washington, D.C., is aware of a case ripe for congressional scrutiny.

In (another) eye-opening report published by The Washington Post in February, Michael Kranish explored financial links connecting former President Donald Trump, his son-in-law Jared Kushner and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

which as noted is only getting more and more exposed, as if it weren't enough already.

And I know some of you will say "How can it be 100%? Isn't Comer also a tremendous asshole?" And that's a fair question, but imo the assholery is on a different axis or accounted for in a different spreadsheet column or something. It doesn't compete for motive percentages.
