Republicans Rush to delete material from "credible source" who turned out to be a Russian asset

Emails, messages, documents, and financial records are indeed evidence.

They are. But they are not evidence that anything illegal happened.

Emails, messages, documents, and financial records are indeed evidence.

For example, Comer breathlessly revealed that Biden had loaned a large sum of money to his brother who then paid it back. He threw a major hissy fit when a reporter asked him why that was an issue, seeing as Comer did the same thing himself.:

James Comer Under Increasing Pressure Over Loans to his Brother​

James Comer has been criticized by Democrats after reports emerged he gave his brother a $200,000 personal loan, despite criticizing President Joe Biden for doing the same thing.​

The Kentucky Republican representative chairs the House Oversight Committee impeachment probe into Biden, which opened after Republicans alleged they had evidence of the president's knowledge of and role in his family members' domestic and foreign business dealings while he served as vice president under Barack Obama.

Their latest focus is on revealed bank records that show Biden loaned his brother $200,000 in 2018. Comer alleges the loan repayment is proof of the president profiting from illicit international business.

But the Daily Beast reported on Thursday that Comer had previously loaned money to a family member, Citing Kentucky property records, the publication reported that Comer and his brother have engaged in land swaps related to their family farming business and that one loan was for $200,000 and involved a shell company.

Meanwhile, Congressman Eric Swalwell called on Comer to subpoena himself, dubbing the loan "highly suspicious."

GOP members on the House Oversight Committee have been investigating the Biden family for over 10 months, but are yet to uncover evidence of Biden being directly involved with his son's business dealings.

The Republican has been accused of doing the same thing he accuses the president of.

Hypocrisy on this level would ruin any democrat. But republican voters don't seem to care any more. We still get to call them out on it, of course.

Nitpicker!

They are, indeed. Most people don't have 9 family members receive large deposits from foreign oligarchs after they have business meetings.

Well, let's take a look at "people."

Six months after leaving the White House, Jared Kushner secured a $2 billion investment from a fund led by the Saudi crown prince, a close ally during the Trump administration, despite objections from the fund’s advisers about the merits of the deal.

A panel that screens investments for the main Saudi sovereign wealth fund cited concerns about the proposed deal with Mr. Kushner’s newly formed private equity firm, Affinity Partners, previously undisclosed documents show.

Oh? What law does that violate?

Trump and his family better hope it violates no laws. They all made lots of money from foreign governments.

Your whataboutism is not remotely comparable. The Trump family actually IS in various businesses, unlike the Bidens, who merely profit off influence.

Not that familiar with Jared Kushner, but a quick search revealed that he runs a private equity firm AFTER he left the White House. Your source is paywalled.

The House Oversight Committee began an investigation on the Saudi investment in 2022. No charges have occurred. Not clear if that is over or continuing.

You asked about U.S. officials getting benefits from foreign leaders. I showed you some examples. If you didn't want to know you shouldn't have asked.

Not that familiar with Jared Kushner, but a quick search revealed that he runs a private equity firm AFTER he left the White House.

And before. He had a lot of money invested and payments to make. Then suddenly, he got a lot of money from the Saudis for obscure reasons.

Given the people running the House at the moment, that's no surprise, is it?

And if you had done a "quick search" you'd have found that Hunter Biden co-started a private equity firm in the years he was getting foreign money. But apparently private equity is only a real business when run by Republicans, or did you mean something else by implying there was no "real business" the Hunter (and other Bidens, other than Joe) were involved in.

Pretty much all that's left of his whattaboutism. And it's faulty, as you said.
