The chairman of the House Oversight Committee on Monday said he and his colleagues still lack evidence proving that President Joe Biden took bribes while he was vice president during the Obama administration, despite months of investigation into his son, Hunter Biden.

Representative James Comer made the embarrassing admission during an appearance on Fox News host Sean Hannity’s eponymous nightly programme alongside Representative Jim Jordan, the chair of the House Judiciary Committee.

    Step 1: make baseless accusations

    Step 2: Go on Faux News to rile up the dipshit base using those accusations

    Step 3: admit that there is no evidence to back up any of those baseless accusations

    Step 4: back to step 1

      The bullshit accusations go on for months if not years as well. For months and months they hear this nonsense and take it as fact. Then there is one day of “ha, we lied” which gets buried and forgotten and, as you said, back to step 1.

    Comer was asked about the evidence presented to the committee by Devon Archer, a convicted fraudster who had a three-year business relationship with the president’s son, during closed-door testimony on Monday.

    Who knew that a convicted fraudster would turn out to be an unreliable source of good information?

    Republicans want people to think both sides are the same. They are not. Republicans get convicted or impeached because there is evidence to back of crimes they did.

    Just wanting to impeach Joe Biden is not enough. We need evidence.
