House Oversight Chair James Comer, leading the impeachment efforts against President Joe Biden, has signaled a shift in strategy, indicating he is "preparing criminal referrals" as the investigation's culmination. This move aims to lay the groundwork for potential prosecution by a future Trump-led Justice Department, with Comer mentioning it's critical to "weaponize DOJ for Trump vengeance." Despite these efforts, Comer appears to have abandoned the push for a formal impeachment vote, described by critics as a "Russian-themed impeachment circus." The investigation has focused on allegations of mishandling classified documents by Biden and purported influence peddling involving Hunter and Jim Biden, with testimonies from figures like Galanis and Bobulinski suggesting a pay-for-play scheme. Meanwhile, Democrats have called for an investigation into Jared Kushner's business dealings, particularly the "$2 Billion Jared Kushner received from Saudi Arabia," alleging influence peddling. Comer has dismissed these requests, defending Kushner's business legitimacy by stating, "Unlike the Bidens, Jared Kushner has a legitimate business." This development comes amid broader discussions on government corruption and the use of impeachment and investigations for political ends.
The evidence has repeatedly shown Joe Biden has committed no wrongdoing, but that hasn’t stopped Chair Comer from spending the 118th Congress spreading what we know is Russian disinformation. Let’s drop impeachment and do some productive oversight. https://t.co/gTcZw91hfT https://t.co/Oawd3DmSri
.@RepJamesComer, is Merrick Garland and the deep state indoctrinating mind-controlling mainstream media in the room with you right now? https://t.co/PcvE2cC1hu
🧵IMPORTANT THREAD🧵 See below for footage from @GOPoversight / @JudiciaryGOP impeachment inquiry depositions of Biden family associates. REMINDER: This is sworn testimony & details how Joe knew about, participated in, & enabled his family’s corrupt influence peddling schemes. https://t.co/oPu0D4kCjQ
In their sworn testimony, Bobulinski and Galanis told us: 1. The Bidens didn't peddle any legitimate good or service, they sold the Biden Brand. 2. Hunter committed perjury during his deposition. 3. Joe Biden himself was involved in Hunter's foreign business dealings. https://t.co/OBz9rlJcrX
🚨MUST WATCH🚨 Last week, our committee and @JudiciaryGOP released footage from our impeachment inquiry interviews. Listen to Tony Bobulinski & Jason Galanis detail how Joe Biden knew about, participated in, and enabled his family’s corrupt influence peddling schemes. 🧵👇
Oh my James Comer on Fox Radio shares his new theory for why his impeachment inquiry failed: “Garland’s working with the Deep State who’s working with the liberal mainstream media to try to indoctrinate into people’s minds that there’s no evidence” https://t.co/uY3qvfBf6c

Was Joe Biden Acting in the Country's Interests? Or His Son's?

Could Jared Kushner be forced to testify about the $2billion he got from Saudi Arabia when his father-in-law left office? Democrats demand a probe into Trump family's finances while GOP tries to impeach Biden https://t.co/hMSqKPbaBm https://t.co/yMYKXS7tKD
Jamie Raskin Calls For Hearing On 'Influence Peddling' By Jared Kushner https://t.co/h8PpaNS9JR
Chair Comer has said that he wants to investigate all govt corruption. @GOPoversight, why won’t you join us in investigating Jared Kushner for the $2B he received from the Saudi Crown Prince months after he stepped down as M.B.S.’s man in the White House? https://t.co/Km44JIkIJs

James Comer brushes off Democrats' request for a hearing on influence peddling by Jared Kushner. “Unlike the Bidens, Jared Kushner has a legitimate business and has a career as a business executive that predates Donald Trump’s political career." https://t.co/3MtorEGbvU
Jared Kushner Called to Face the Music https://t.co/sWUFhGbtSf https://t.co/kwwkshHnNo
Chairman @RepJamesComer just gave up his foolish impeachment quest and instead says he’ll set the stage for a second Trump presidency to weaponize DOJ for Trump vengeance. No need to read between the lines. https://t.co/T5q7FrIeqX
The GOP continues to ignore the $2 Billion Jared Kushner received from Saudi Arabia, which is why @RepRaskin and I called for hearings into his business dealings. He uses his time in the White House to expand his grift on the American people. https://t.co/cvTG7G82Mk
NEW: RMs @RepRaskin and @RepRobertGarcia urged Chairs @RepJamesComer and @RepGrothman to hold a hearing to investigate Jared Kushner's influence peddling and threats to national security: https://t.co/9GWr4SWBy1
Mr. Comer, Kentucky Republican, and Mr. Jordan, Ohio Republican, specifically said they are still waiting for the audio recordings from Mr. Hur’s interview with the president, and the audio and transcript from the special counsel’s interview with Mr. Zwonitzer.…
Last wk's @GOPoversight hearing exposed that Hunter & Jim Biden perjured themselves. Galanis & Bobulinski's testimonies were damning & proved this was an ORCHESTRATED pay-for-play scheme. Joe wasn't there to talk about the weather, he wanted to know the players in these deals. https://t.co/bbsHf2ps5M
They had requested transcripts, notes, video and audio files from Mr. Hur’s investigation into Mr. Biden’s mishandling of classified documents and whether the president showed them to his ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer. https://t.co/qqxhKn4wfG

scooplet: House Dems requesting Oversight hold a hearing on Jared Kushner's foreign business deals: https://t.co/nSNNZNfLoz Republicans already signaling it's not going to happen, but could be an area of interest for Dems next year if House flips.
Rep. James Comer is indicating that the "culmination" of his investigation into President Biden will be criminal referrals to lay the groundwork for prosecution by a future Trump Justice Department. https://t.co/CATJ3K9i1c
In new fundraising email, Oversight Chair James Comer says he's "preparing criminal referrals as the culmination of my investigation." When Trump wins, Comer says, "it’s critical the new leadership at the DOJ have everything they need to prosecute the Biden Crime Family" https://t.co/J3oVgTjf0E
With America clear they don’t have the evidence and Republicans clear they don’t have the votes, it’s time for Chairman Comer to pack up his Russian-themed impeachment circus and find some honest work. https://t.co/wVc5uimQPC
