Jamie Ruskin (D-Maryland), a leading member of the House Oversight Committee, said he reviewed new documents provided by the FBI and said they did not contain any mention of Biden’s bribery. .
Ruskin said in a statement provided to PoliticusUSA:
These documents, provided by the FBI at the request of Chairman Comer, have nothing to do with the majority of allegations of corruption, as far as I can ascertain. I do not understand Chairman Comer’s proposal to the contrary. In both documents, the secret sources convey information that has nothing to do with the corruption allegations involving the Bidens. In fact, the only reference to the Bidens throughout both documents is that a confidential source has reportedly made a conversation that included a “brief and unrelated” reference to Hunter Biden being a director of Burisma and being Joe Biden’s son. Only when I reported it. , both publicly known facts in 2017. The FBI clarified that none of the references to the Bidens were redacted.
The Republican Commission has used these documents to breathe new life into unsubstantiated allegations against the president first pointed out by Rudy Giuliani and investigated and investigated by President Trump’s own Justice Department in 2020. I’m about to This is a clear attempt to distract Fox News viewers from Donald. Trump’s indictment and Congressional Republicans’ failure to identify evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden despite years of investigation. Maybe it’s time to find another wild goose chaser.
Senator Ruskin was right. House Republicans are using baseless allegations against President Biden to divert voters’ attention away from Trump’s prosecution. Chairman Kevin McCarthy brought up unsubstantiated bribery allegations when talking about the Hunter Biden plea bargain.
The allegations are bullshit, but House Republicans appear to be betting to give President Donald Trump a chance to beat President Biden in 2024. Republicans have been trying for years to find a way to counter Biden, but they have nothing.
Republicans on the House Oversight Committee have relied on Russian disinformation, but to no avail.
Ruskin was right. The plot has failed, and it’s time for House Republicans to move on.
