Rep Comer and the House Republicans had better watch it. I’ll explain below.
The Story:
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) released a resolution Wednesday to hold FBI Director Christopher A. Wray in contempt of Congress for not fully complying with a subpoena. Comer said his panel would vote on the resolution Thursday.At issue is a document containing unverified allegations from a confidential informant about President Biden and his family. FBI officials provided Comer and Rep. Jamie B. Raskin (Md.), the top Democrat on the committee, with a briefing about the document on Monday, but Comer argued that is not sufficient.“
To date, the FBI has refused to comply with our lawfully issued subpoena and even refused to admit the record’s existence up until a week ago,” Comer said in a statement. “The FBI created this record based on information from a credible informant who has worked with the FBI for over a decade and paid six figures.
”Comer said the informant had firsthand conversations with a foreign national who claimed to have bribed Biden while he was vice president. The FBI has cited confidentiality concerns in not releasing the document.

The reason why I believe that Rep. Comer and the House Republicans should be careful is this: These allegations are unverified. One of the golden rules of President Ronald Reagan was “Trust, But verify.” If, by any chance that the house does get it’s hands on this document and there is an investigation into this accusations and they are found to be untrue —- this entire thing would blow up in the Republicans faces and would cost them the election in 2024 and would be a major setback to this Country, if Joe Biden was reelected.
The House Republicans need to stop playing politics with unverified accusations. Because it really could cost them and the Republicans in general in the Primaries and also in the General Elections.
