Asked by NOTUS if he’s going to subjecting the Trump family to the same scrutiny he did the Bidens, House Oversight Charibilly James Comer said he’s “not worried about anything the Trumps are doing. I want you to write this down: I’m not worried about anything the Trumps are doing business-wise, because they’re being transparent. Unlike the Bidens,” emphasis NOTUS’s on the “not.”
Right so when it’s transparent, which is actually an excellent adjective to use to describe the Trump family corruption, like that cross-border trucking company that bought $20 million worth of his shitcoin and said straight up it was an investment in getting a tariff exception, then it’s okay.
Actually maybe America is better off if Comer, who has been pretty quiet this Congress as everyone knew he would be after Trump won, continues to lay low. Were he to suddenly have a change of heart and decide that fighting corruption is a bipartisan virtue then he might start asking questions like “Wait, the Trump boys told me they’re building a hotel in that country with them camels and the fellas with the little picnic blankets on they heads and Eric said they were all Christians there but naw Congresswoman Cammack sayin she heard they actually Muslims so we needa hold a hearin’ with Jonathan Turley and Matt Taibbi to get to the bottom of this Saudi Rapeya or whatever.”
Comer also said he won’t be re-introing his presidential ethics bill, which was so important to him last Congress. “The only way you’re going to get a bill through Congress to reform it is when it affects the next administration,” Comer said, blaming Dems for not helping to pass it last year “I argued that the last time. I said, ‘You all will be complaining if Trump wins, because he’s a business guy and there’s going to be things that will arise. Let’s get this through.’ And they go, ‘No, no, there’s no way Trump’s going to win.'” Comer also cited that “the whole media is going to be focused on that ethics bill,” and that the Senate won’t pass it as a reason not to resurrect it.
Comer voted yes on the “Gulf of America” bill, which will not get 60 votes in the Senate.
