For the last few weeks, the GOP has been pushing a Joe Biden bribery scheme.
GOP officials claimed that a document that was in possession of the FBI proves that Biden was being paid money to influence policy.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) has seen the same documents as Rep. James Comer (R-KY), but he is not offering the same take.
Disqualify
We will never get to publicly see the documentation, so we have to rely on corrupt politicians to offer their best perspective.
According to Comer, this is a smoking gun that shows Biden was being bribed while in office.
Raskin says the complete opposite, just as we suspected he might say.
Raskin stated, “These documents provided by the FBI in response to Chairman Comer’s request are not related to any of the majority’s corruption allegations that I can discern.
“I do not understand Chairman Comer’s suggestions to the contrary.
“In both documents, the confidential human source relays information having nothing to do with any corruption allegations involving the Bidens. In fact, the only reference to the Bidens—across both documents—was when the confidential human source reported a conversation that included a ‘brief, non-relevant’ reference to Hunter Biden being on the board of Burisma and being the son of Joe Biden, both facts that were publicly well-known in 2017.
“The FBI made clear that no references to the Bidens were redacted.
“Committee Republicans are using these documents to try to breathe new life into baseless allegations against the President that were first leveled by Rudy Giuliani and were examined and investigated by Trump’s own Justice Department in 2020.
“It is a transparent attempt to distract Fox News viewers from Donald Trump’s indictment and Congressional Republicans’ failure, after years of investigation, to identify any evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden.
“It may be time to find a new wild goose chase.”
As I have stated before, we can never expect both sides to offer a 100-percent accurate picture of what is going on.
However, it would be nice if they would just be truthful about what they are seeing.
Either Raskin or Comer is going to be made the fool here, with Comer having far more to lose than Raskin.
If there is no proof that Biden took a bribe in those documents, Comer comes off as an outright liar, the very thing we are demanding justice against Rep. Schiff (D-CA) for his deception during the impeachment hearings.
One way or the other, all we want is the truth, but the very people we elected to office to represent us seem incapable of providing that to us.
