We're committed to exposing the reality behind Republicans’ politically motivated oversight and investigations targeting President Biden and Democrats.
🚨NEW AD🚨
@JamesComer
is a hypocrite with ZERO credibility to conduct legitimate oversight. The real James Comer is a conspiratorial partisan with no interest in governing or prioritizing the real issues that matter to the American people.
WATCH and SHARE:
MAGA Republicans including

NEW AD: Every Republican who votes for Jim Jordan to be Speaker of the House should be held accountable for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, support for the attack on our country on January 6th, and attacks on our democracy.

Extreme MAGA Republicans, like
@JamesComer

Make no mistake — these two situations are not the same. It's like comparing apples and rotten oranges.
Here are the facts:
After 10 months of abject failure,
@JamesComer
is wrapping up his investigation with one unshakeable fact: he has been completely unable to show a single shred of wrongdoing by President Biden.

“I think the House Republicans have put on such a clown show that the credibility of a traditional Congressional hearing has been woefully devalued and diluted.”

Today was another MAGA Republican hearing on impeachment — another no-evidence political stunt brought to you by the House Rules Committee. In another embarrassing display, Republican members once again failed to cite any evidence of wrongdoing whatsoever.
Rep. McGovern: "Trump says jump, the MAGA extremists say 'how high?' Donald Trump asks them to impeach Joe Biden, and here we are ... when this is all over, I'm confident that the American people will overwhelmingly agree that this whole impeachment stunt is a national disgrace."

Even for James Comer, who has failed consistently for 9 months to prove anything against Joe Biden at all, today's hearing was an absolute disaster. Members of his own party are openly trashing him, and he was made to look like a complete fool by his own witnesses.
Cavuto: For the better part of six hours, I have been following these hearings, talk an hour off to do my fox business show earlier today. I don't know what was achieved… None or the witnesses provided any proof for impeachment
The fact is that
@JamesComer
built this investigation on nothing more than conspiracy theories and a thirst for revenge and the only thing he has proved is that he is all hat, no cattle.
It's not just Donald Trump. Extreme MAGA Republicans, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Jim Jordan, James Comer, and Matt Gaetz, are anti-law enforcement. The American people deserve better.
In agreeing to let Kevin McCarthy limp across the finish line into the speakership, MAGA Republicans finally unified around their only agenda: politically motivated investigations designed to harm their political opponents and gain more power to enact their extreme agenda.
Former DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff who served under President George W. Bush:
“House Republicans are misusing the process to target an official who has done nothing wrong.”
“Impeachment is a diversion from fixing our broken immigration laws and giving DHS the resources…
MAGA Republicans have no basis for impeachment.
They have no evidence.
They have nothing.
This is nothing more than a naked political stunt that hurts the American people to tarnish President Biden and help Donald Trump — and we're ready to fight back.

Kevin McCarthy has turned his speakership over to Donald Trump, election deniers, white nationalist sympathizers and the cult of MAGA and he has lost the moral high ground to lead.
215 House Republicans voted in favor of a desperate political stunt in an effort to aid Donald Trump.
This was a massive waste of everyone's time — and their conference owns this stunt.

James Comer conceding that Republicans might not have enough votes to impeach President Biden should not be surprising since Comer has failed to find a single shred of evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden.
House Republicans have sabotaged deal after deal on the border and spent nearly two decades walking away from the issue, rejecting bipartisan proposals over and over again. They have made it clear that they are more interested in scoring points with their MAGA base than actually…
"We're talking about cooperation vs. obstruction, misplaced documents vs. stolen documents, voluntary disclosure vs. having to have a search warrant executed."
Comparing President Biden and Donald Trump’s mishandling of documents is like comparing apples to arsenic.
Let's be crystal clear: MAGA Republicans just killed a bipartisan border bill and voted instead to impeach an innocent man, ignoring the important priorities of the American people to pursue a baseless political stunt — impeaching Secretary Mayorkas.

@SpeakerMcCarthy
and MAGA Republicans have no interest in working to improve peoples’ lives and reduce costs for American families. Instead, they’re spending their time waging partisan investigations influenced by former President Trump.
Once again,
@JamesComer
has promised evidence of wrongdoing by the President and has shown absolutely nothing of the sort. This is a desperate attempt by Republicans to distract from their inability to do the bare minimum and elect a speaker and the resulting chaos of the week.
NEW: An attorney for James Biden tells me Comer's framing of this revelation is "highly selective and misleading."
The payment from James and Sara Biden was a loan repayment, the attorney said.
"At no time did Jim involve his brother in any of his business relationships."
The inmates are running the asylum in the House Republican caucus — and having conspiracy theorists running House Oversight Committee investigations shows just how unserious they are.

"Allowing Fox to have this footage poses both serious security risks to lawmakers and clearly exposes Republicans as being more interested in pulling partisan stunts than conducting legitimate investigations."
Jim Jordan has repeatedly made clear that his focus as Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and Weaponization subcommittee is to weaken President Biden and Democrats in an attempt to get his leader Donald Trump re-elected.
Speaker Johnson’s release of the January 6th tapes is a serious security concern and shows that his allegiance, like Kevin McCarthy’s before him, is to Donald Trump and the ultra-right-wing faction of the House.

Rep.
@StaceyPlaskett
is right to be concerned: MAGA House Republicans are planning to use their Weaponization subcommittee as a political tool to settle scores, showcase conspiracy theories, and advance their extreme agenda.
“Following months of humiliating failures, Politico recently reported that behind the scenes, GOP officials were quietly admitting that Comer’s campaign against President Joe Biden has been 'hobbled by embarrassing setbacks.'”
With Kevin McCarthy and other MAGA Republican members having been referred to the House Ethics Committee by the January 6th Select Committee, it's not surprising that House Republicans are trying to do everything they can to escape accountability for their behavior.

“By his own admission, Santos rose to elected office by lying to voters about almost every facet of his personal and professional life.”
@RitchieTorresis
is absolutely right: George Santos is a danger to democracy.
So Secretary Mayorkas agrees to a hearing, and then they say never mind... MAGA Republicans don’t actually want to hear from witnesses, they just want to cherry pick their own false narrative.

@JamesComer
’s overt hypocrisy has never been more glaringly obvious:
Despite their transparent lies about a serious and fair process, MAGA House Republicans set a date for marking up articles of impeachment on Secretary Mayorkas before holding a single impeachment hearing! This is the definition of a sham process.
