House Oversight Committee member Jamie Raskin (D-MD) reviewed new FBI documents and said they make no mention of Biden bribery.
Raskin said in a statement to PoliticianUSA:
These documents provided by the FBI in response to Chairman Comer’s request are unrelated to the majority corruption allegations that I can discern. I do not understand President Comer’s opposing suggestions. In both documents, the confidential human source passes on information that has nothing to do with corruption allegations involving the Bidens. In fact, the only reference to the Bidens — in both documents — was when the confidential human source reported a conversation with a “brief, irrelevant” reference to Hunter Biden who was on the board of Burisma and was the son of Joe Biden. , both facts that were public knowledge in 2017. The FBI made it clear that no references to the Bidens had been redacted.
Committee Republicans are using these documents to revive baseless allegations against the president that were first leveled by Rudy Giuliani and investigated and investigated in 2020 by Trump’s own Justice Department. It’s a transparent attempt to distract Fox News viewers from Donald Trump. The impeachment of Trump and the failure of Republicans in Congress, after years of investigation, to identify any evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden. It may be time to find a new wild geese hunt.
Rep. Raskin was right. House Republicans are using the baseless allegations against President Biden to distract their voters from attention to Trump’s indictment. Speaker Kevin McCarthy brought up the baseless allegation of bribery when talking about Hunter Biden’s plea deal.
The claim is bogus, but it appears that House Republicans are betting on giving Donald Trump a chance to beat President Biden in 2024. Republicans have been trying for years to find something to use against Biden, and they’ve got nothing.
The Republicans on the House Oversight Committee rely on Russian disinformation and they are getting nowhere.
Raskin was right. This plot has flopped and it is time for House Republicans to move on.
