You know what people who operate legitimate investigations don't do? They don't announce on Fox Business that they're going to subpoena the president's family, and possibly the president himself.

Comer is running a very legitimate media circus, I mean investigation
Nothing good in the history of mankind has ever come from conservatism. Nothing at all. The more valuable time they waste in congress, the more civilized society should shun and exclude them from our daily lives.
This is performance art for an audience of one.
An audience of tens of millions (of MAGA idiots), too.
They all have one mind.
that's a bit generous.
lol, trump has 78 federal indictments and will be on trial in two separate federal cases next year.
I have no doubt they will wait to try to do this during the presidential election next year. He knows they have nothing except trying to make Biden look bad through innuendo and association, and that any hearings they hold will end with a whimper. Can't have it ending with a whimper before the election, so have to wait.
They should stop teasing and subpoena Hunter Biden's penis already. You know they want to.

What would be hilarious is if the dude is packing a hog or something. And thats the extent of what we find out.
I mean, apparently his sex tape is available somewhere. So you’re welcome to go find out for yourself.
Don't tell MTG, she might screen the tape on C-SPAN. She seems oddly enamored with Hunter....

I hope the Bidens just ignore it. Take a page out what Trump and his team did last year and ignore it
When Democrats subpoenaed Don McGhan to testify and tried to take him to court for his refusal, the Appeals Court ruled that Congress never passed a law that allowed them to sue to enforce a subpoena, and thus, can't sue for that
Trust me guys, we have all the evidence on this laptop which totally exists I swear trust me bro it's on the laptop.
We saw the dick pics already. We don't want to see them again
Hunter Biden is guilty of having a massive fucking cock, lock him up.
Tell me you're not Marj Taylor exGreene, without telling me you're not Marj Taylor exGreene.

As soon as House Oversight Committee figures out what they want to investigate the Biden family for
The reason's pretty obvious. Is right there in their name. Bi(D)en.
I really can't wait until history forgets even the existence of this dipshit yokel.
"Jesus Christ, Kentucky," exclaimed the Floridian unironically.
How and why would you subpoena a "family" lmfao? Is this going to include Bo Biden, who volunteered for service in Afghanistan and died in the service?

See, this is what a Witch Hunt looks like
If they have legitimate evidence a crime was commit. Good, question him.
Republican or Democrat doesn’t matter, show your evidence and if they are doing something illegal let’s get rid of em. Biden shouldnt be immune, nor should any other person.
But it so hard to prosecute someone you don't like without any evidence...
they never do though lol
So they want to make a case that would stand up in any court - without any hint of evidence? This is as "solid" as Trumps "stolen election" cases.

They're gonna get really loud about this closer to election season. There won't be any more substance to it than there is now but they'll certainly try.
If he did something illegal beyond what he's already plead to, lock him away. Same with the president. ANY president. I don't care if it's Biden, Trump, Obama, Clinton, GW, Clinton, Clinton, GHW, Reagan, Clinton, or fucking George Washington.
I saw this asshat trying to justify himself to Lawrence O'Donnell and one of his "Well isn't that SPECIAL..." stats was that just after Biden left Romania, someone in Romania wired money to his grand daughter.
Which sure SOUNDS damning when you put it that way...
Too bad it didn't actually happen that way...
Here's the timeline:
Biden spoke in Romania
One year later, Romanian national Gabriel Popoviciu wired money to Rob Walker.
Rob Walker later wired about 1/3rd of the $3 mil. to various Biden family members.
So, no evidence Biden was involved in the ask or the payment. LOL.
Lots of stones being thrown by folks in glass houses... I'm not sure the GOP really wants this kind of deep dive into their financials. If you think this is bad, I can't even imagine the kind of shit they're hiding.
The gross irony in the very first sentence of this post... Oversight and Accountability? Fucking laughable.
Cough Clarence Thomas cough
And all the Trump kids
Response from every single member of the Biden family:
"Dear Mr. Jordan,
We have received the subpoena and intend to treat it with the same level of respect and diligence as you and your colleagues have treated subpoenas in the past. Thank you and have a good day.
Sincerely, The Bidens."
100% Bullshit
Are there actually rules around who Congress can subpoena? I don't think you NEED to put together a good case, I think you just vote to do it.
Which is lucky for this guy because spoilers... they don't have a good case.
