House Oversight Chairman James Comer has publicly expressed a complete lack of trust in the FBI, stating his trust level is "zero", following the indictment of a key informant for lying in his impeachment investigation against the Bidens. Comer criticized the FBI and the intelligence community for not delivering the truth to the American people, a sentiment he shared in an interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business. This comes amidst revelations that US-sanctioned Russian agents, previously involved in disseminating the Burisma lie linked to Trump, were also connected to the GOP's evidence in the impeachment inquiry. The Oversight Democrats highlighted the reliance on discredited sources, including those tied to Russian intelligence and a Chinese spy, in Comer's investigation, as explained by RepRobertGarcia. Furthermore, Comer defended the indicted informant, despite the informant's role in spreading false Biden claims.

Rep. James Comer tells Fox’s Maria Bartiromo that every instance he’s had with the agency has been “suspicious,” conveniently forgetting how much he relied on the FBI to bolster his false Biden claims. https://t.co/RVixjbA9GY

now that his star witness has been indicted for lying for the FBI, Comer says "everything that I've had to do with the FBI is suspicious" & "the trust level I have with the FBI is zero." (Both the FBI director & special counsel who investigated Comer's witness are Republicans!) https://t.co/q7OCo1pD5I
Comer on Fox Business: The trust level that I have with the FBI is zero..the American people deserve the truth, and they haven't been given the truth by the mainstream media or by our government agencies..I have zero confidence in our intelligence community.

From a Chinese spy to a key source tied to Russian intelligence indicted for lying, Chairman Comer‘s floundering impeachment investigation is built on lies and propaganda. WATCH @RepRobertGarcia explain: https://t.co/Bw2LiXpVCF
For years we’ve known that US-sanctioned Russian agents worked alongside Giuliani to push Trump’s Burisma lie, even before the recent revelations about Russian ties to the GOP’s “most corroborating evidence.” But Jordan and Comer continued to spew the same lies. https://t.co/e5nRa6ypXm
