Watching Rep. James Comer explain why he’s interested in pursuing Biden’s documents scandal while minimizing Trump’s was like watching a snake eat its own tail. (via MaddowBlog)
the Biden story, despite the fact that it appears far less serious. How does the GOP chairman explain the double standard? He’s still working on that.
Last night, the Republican sat down with CNN’s Pamela Brown and tried to flesh out his perspective. “What’s different with Joe Biden is we’re investigating the Biden family for influence peddling,”. When the host asked why he wasn’t asking similar questions about Trump — who not only took classified documents, but who’s also had extensive dealings with other countries — the Oversight Committee chair said he hasn’t seen any evidence of influence peddling surrounding the former president.
So, Brown asked the appropriate follow-up question: Does he have evidence of influence peddling surrounding Biden and classified documents? “We don’t know,”This morning, the Kentucky Republican appeared at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., and elaborated on why he’s ignoring the Trump controversy. “Well, there’s a special counsel,”
. “There’s a special counsel and I am confident that that special counsel is looking into everything.”It was not a good point. As the chairman of the House Oversight Committee really ought to know,. If the existence of a special counsel investigating Trump leads Comer to believe he should focus his attention elsewhere, then the existence of a special counsel investigating the Biden story should lead him to the same conclusion.
