Statement from WH re: judiciary committee request for Biden files.

[grumpyduck]

From CNN (I know... I know...):

The White House accused Republicans of engaging in “political stunts” following Comer’s request Wednesday.

“In their first week as a governing majority, House Republicans have not taken any meaningful action to address inflation and lower Americans’ costs, yet they’re jumping out of the gate with political stunts driven by the most extreme MAGA members of their caucus in an effort to get attention on Fox News,” Ian Sams, a spokesman for the White House Counsel’s office, said in a statement. “The President is going to continue focusing on the important issues the American people want their leaders to work together on, and we hope House Republicans will join him.”

Yup, that pretty much covers it.

2. Comer... the woman beater.

I echo P.C. Intern on this: When is the MSM going to do its’ job?

4. I expect more women will come forward

If he did it to one, he's done it to more. Then, it will be a huge story.

11. The (R)'s are doing this because they know they've violated the law during Jan. 6th ...

(i.e. Asking for pardons) so taking charge now gives them the opportunity to bury all evidence before it become public knowledge through a court case.
That is why they are moving at warp speed to be able to control the narrative before it blows up in their face.

(D)'s job is to drag out as long as possible, so the evidence can appear in court cases and get released to the public like what we saw in the 1/6 Committee's prime time broadcast.

Pres. Biden will not hand over any files until all court subpoena's and court appeals have been exhausted.

12. This is just the tip of the iceberg of the shit show headed our way.

22. Wow! Looks like Jared dumping nuke secrets on the Saudi's doorstep.

13. MAGA rules apply.

No to all subpoenas. No to all documents.

[usaf-vet]

15. Exactly! the former administration established these "procedures". Why don't we use them?

There is a clear difference between the two cases. Biden is the POTUS, and according to TFG's standards, he relied on to deflect any attempts to hold him accountable. "I AM THE PRESIDENT and IMMUNE."

Prosecute the former occupant of the White House NOW and jail his a$$ for espionage as HE IS NO LONGER PRESIDENT.

Then in 2024 or 2028, the TFG can watch the investigation into former President Biden's investigation on prison TV.

UNTIL that time, Biden is immune per TFG standards.

16. The DOJ can't simply prosecute a felony because they want to

How many times must it be explained that the DOJ can prosecute felonies ONLY after a grand jury issues an indictment? Without that, the DOJ's hands are tied.

It sucks, but that's how the process works.

Unless you want to risk felony charges of your own for grand jury tampering by pushing them to speed things up with J6. The federal judiciary kinda gets...peeved...at that kind of interference.

19. It was........

Thanks for the lecture!

14. Translation ---

No way, Jose. Take a hike. Get lost. Go F yourself.

[FoxNewsSucks]

17. "MAGA members of their caucus in an effort to get attention on Fox News"

That's their job. Throw shit. Get attention. Feed their idiot hate-filled followers.

[sinkingfeeling]

18. I'd have said, "We'll wait for the subpoenas. "

[LiberalFighter]

20. How is suppose to turn them over if he doesn't have possesion?

They should go to the National Archives to view them.

[Ferrets are Cool]

23. Unfortunately, it's not just Faux News....the other networks are conned into giving attention to

their idiocy.

[JI7]

25. They aren't "conned" into it .

[cstanleytech]

24. Fox has and continues to be nothing more than a radical right wing PR saber rattling network.

[zentrum]

26. But, and it's a big one---

They look as if they are doing a huge thing to help "lower American's costs".
Namely, their first initiative is to cut back on the IRS--and "lower our taxes".

This looks great to a Repug but it's a scam to project the uber-wealthy and biggest corporations from paying their fair share while we of the middle and working classes have less and less services and Federal oversite---Medicare, Medicaid, the CDC, the FAA, Climate protection and on and on. And on.

They are trying to dismantle and defund the Federal Government. Period.

With Fox's and Tucker's help--they may do this.

Going to be hard to control the optics for Democrats to defend paying Taxes and the IRS.
