It’s a scandal! It’s a constitutional crisis!! It’s a transparent attempt to distract from Trump’s EOs!!!
What happens if Biden really didn't know? Are those orders null and void?" Varney asked Comer.Take it to court. And good luck with that.
"I think they would be null and void," the Republican lawmaker agreed. "We don't believe that a lot of these executive orders are legal, if for no other reason, Joe Biden did not sign them himself."
Comer pointed to the Biden administration's use of the autopen: "You have to physically sign anything pertaining to the law, whether it be a pardon or whether it be an executive order."Court. Good luck.
The powerful Oversight chair vowed to force four low-level Biden staffers to testify before his committee.Trump has publicly stated he doesn’t know what’s going on in his own Administration. And disavowed responsibility based on his professed ignorance.
"We want to know who told them to do that, and we're going to follow the trail, just like we followed the money in the Biden influence family investigation," he said. "And look, that's what Jake Tapper is saying. That's what he wrote his book about. That's what all of his interviews about his book is saying that Joe Biden wasn't the one calling the shots."
"That's a constitutional crisis," Comer insisted. "But more important to today, to this very moment, many of those executive orders that were signed with the autopen are what we call Trump-proofing the Trump administration."
"We think this will have huge legal impacts if we can prove what Jake Tapper and many of us believe it wasn't Joe Biden."Unless he can prove the autopen wasn’t operated under Biden’s direction, he’s got nothing.
And we’ve got hours of video of Trump looking at the flunky next to him and asking: “What am I signing?” And being told “That thing we were just talking about.” Or Trump rambling nonsensically for 30 minutes, then walking away without signing the order. Or just declaring foreign policy by social media posts.
You really want to go down this road, Jimmy?
Varney wondered if Biden and his son, Hunter, could be forced to testify before the committee.And you think transcripts have more propaganda value?
"I guess anything's possible," Comer admitted. "I would prefer to have depositions and transcribed interviews where we release the transcript, possibly even release the video."
"A lot of these committee hearings are — never turned out the way that we hoped. They're more entertainment than substantive," he added.
🤡😹😹😹
Democrats should go back to Reagan, especially in his second term when he was clearly senile, not to mention Bush II when Bush was so disengaged. They should demand to know how many autosignings there were then.
ReplyDeleteI question how many people voted for Trump (or the GOP generally) based on HUNTER BIDEN’S LAPTOP! Comer is a clown.
