James Comer, the House Oversight Committee Chair, has shifted his stance on impeaching Joe Biden and is now considering pursuing "criminal referrals" instead of impeachment.

... is now considering pursuing "criminal referrals" ...

But... "criminal referrals" has an even higher evidence bar to clear that an impeachment investigation.

Rep Comer did have enough (any?) evidence for the impeachment investigation, what evidence does he expect to produce for "criminal referrals?"

None. This is coming straight from Trump's Ukraine playbook: "I don't need you to open an investigation into the Bidens. I just need you to ANNOUNCE the opening of an investigation into the Bidens." The latter has already been accomplished to a certain degree.

Comer didn't get fooled, any more than Jordan did. They were part of the game plan: Create a bunch of smoke and hope somebody believes it's a 5-alarm fire.

Saying the committee is "thinking about" referring their evidence to the Justice Department for a criminal investigation is just more smoke.

They're a laughing stock. They're running joke. They're a punch line.

What they really want to do is sneak out the back door, tail between their legs, and hope everybody forgets what goofballs they are.

Just look to the DR fascists to see how well it's working...all the regulars are convinced that Biden is guilty of...something something Hunter Biden's dick pics something something China something Burisma.

Is a "leaver" the opposite of a "lumper"?

No, a "leaver" is somebody who quickly scoots out the back door right after a witness (Lev Parnas) drives a nail (or was it a railroad spike) into the heart of the Chairperson of a fake impeachment investigation that was well past its sell-by date anyway.

There's a good chance Comer Pyle's "evidence" will clear Hunter Biden of his other charges, as it turns out the infamous hard drive was a Russian intelligence operation all along. Hunter should sue anybody and everybody he can over what was really just a smear campaign, starting with Comer Pyle who slandered him all over Reichwing media with "evidence" he knew was shady as hell. TV hits are NOT protected by the speech and debate clause. I'm hoping The Bidens will one day own Comer Pyle's farm.

Breaking: New report this morning reveals that a primary shareholder in a Chinese spyware app injected 8 figures into a flailing business run by Hunter Biden right at the moment that he needed a cash infusion to handle his legal problems.

Lev Parnas called out Pete Sessions to his face. That testimony didn't have the flex the Repubicans thought it would, unless finding more reasons to impeach PO1135809 was the goal.

Also, too, Bill Barr should be under arrest, not rehabilitating his reputation on the Sunday talk show circuit.

You would think that the fact all the things they have been targeting were fed to them literally by Putin has been made absolutely public would give them pause. Embarrass them even. Put them in such a spot they would call for action AGAINST Russia.

But no. Lie, Repeat Lie and Repeat Lie embeds the idea in their base. That's really what they care about. Talk about it as if it were the truth and people will start to believe it is true. It is truly despicable. When Hillary called them Deplorables it was too kind.

There never was a legitimate inquiry.
Whitewater, Benghazi, "Biden Crime Family"...all are scams designed to fool the low-education GQP base.

As Parnas likes to say, Lev remembers and has receipts:

Lev Parnas
@levparnas

The night before I was arrested, I met with Rudy Giuliani, John Solomon, Victoria Toensing, Joe deGenova at @FoxNews studio in Washington DC to discuss the game plan, how @seanhannity and other fox anchors were going to push the propaganda campaign against Joe Biden!

The Biden Crime family was a lie from the get-go, and they all knew it, emphasis mine:

Lev Parnas
@levparnas

"This all came to a head with the formation of what we called the "BLT Team." At Trump's behest, in early 2019 Giuliani convened a group of political and media professionals for regular strategy meetings at BLT Steak in Washington, D.C. Among others, this group included John Solomon, an investigative reporter for The Hill who had many contacts at FOX News. Then- Congressman Devin Nunes, who had been leading his own investigation into the Bidens, also decided to work with the BLT Team. I coordinated at least two Skype interviews with Ukrainian officials and a Nunes senior staff member for the purposes of Nunes' investigation. Like my efforts before, these interviews still provided no evidence that the Bidens had done anything unlawful.

Though he did not attend the BLT Team meetings, I was told in that setting that Senator Ron Johnson would be "our guy in the Senate," responsible for pushing all the information we were getting. But he would actually end up spreading unverified conspiracy theories instead.
Because the BLT Team's investigations were centered around Biden and Ukraine, I was designated the point person in every matter they pursued. That is how I know today with certainty that these stories were lies.

Every person integral to this shadow diplomacy knew that the Biden corruption rumors were baseless. Then-Congressman Devin Nunes, Senator Ron Johnson, and many other individuals understood that they were pushing a false narrative. The same goes for John Solomon, Sean Hannity, and media personnel, particularly at FOX News, who used that narrative to manipulate the public ahead of the 2020 election. They are still doing this today, as we approach the 2024 election".

Thanks for that post, Gal. You do good work.

It would be nice if the DOJ would open an investigation and get that same testimony under oath.

Sounds to me that a lot of people Parnas named in this conspiracy should be arrested and publicly exposed.

Twin,

DOJ would be investigating itself because Barr intervened in order to warn both Rudy and Fox News. There is a reason Fox stopped carrying the hearing when Parnas started to testify and it wasn't because they suddenly realized the impeachment hearings were fake news:

Lev Parnas
@levparnas

Interesting that @FoxNews stopped televising the impeachment hearings when I started to testify!

Does it have something to do with the meeting Bill Barr had with Rupert Murdoch on the day of my arrest?

"DOJ would be investigating itself because Barr intervened in order to warn both Rudy and Fox News."

This is a different DOJ now.

I don't see anything wrong with including Barr in an investigation.

Yeah, but it's a Democratic president, so we had to appoint a, "moderate Independent," (aka a Republican) to the position because bipartisanship and norms or something. Democrats need to stop doing that. Biden should've completely cleaned house, including Wray, Dejoy and a handful of others. Screw decorum, Bill Barr should be in prison.

If you recall, Biden didn't have the authority to fire DeJoy.

DeJoy did have a court appearance though and was told by a judge (paraphrasing) 'If you ever try to pull a stunt like that again, your ass is going to be jail.'

So far, during the Biden administration, DeJoy is taking that warning seriously and the high-speed sorting machines are back in operation. At least for 2024.

However, if a wrecking ball like Trump gets elected in 2024, all bets are off. Most likely, the U.S. of A. will be having "Russian style" elections.

TWINPAC,

I know that the USPS role is not under Biden's authority, but answer me this: do you think that if a Repubican president really wanted him gone, it wouldn't have happened? Democrats NEVER exercise the political pressure they have, instead opting for "bipartisanship" and "norms." All Biden has to do is openly list all of the ratf***ery DeJoy engaged in, using the bully pulpit, and call for a replacement. Nothing illegal, no back-channel deals that can be brought into an impeachment inquiry, just destroy that f***er's reputation publicly by telling the truth.

I know it's a pipe dream.
