James Comer is going after Joe Biden because he loaned his brother, James Biden, $200,000. If that's the standard, James Comer may want to investigate himself.

House Oversight Committee chair James Comer (R-KY) on Wednesday subpoenaed President Joe Biden’s brother, James Biden, who Comer has implicated in unsubstantiated allegations of “shady business practices” in the Biden family.


Comer has in particular been trying to make hay out of two personal loan repayments from James Biden to his brother, for $40,000 and $200,000—with all transactions occurring in 2017 and 2018, when Joe Biden was neither in office nor a candidate.

But if Comer genuinely believes these transactions clear the “shady business practices” bar, he might want to consider a parallel inquiry into his own family.

According to Kentucky property records, Comer and his own brother have engaged in land swaps related to their family farming business. In one deal—also involving $200,000, as well as a shell company—the more powerful and influential Comer channeled extra money to his brother, seemingly from nothing. Other recent land swaps were quickly followed with new applications for special tax breaks, state records show. All of this, perplexingly, related to the dealings of a family company that appears to have never existed on paper.

1. Since

When is it a crime to give a family member money? And in what way could that possibly be indicative of criminal activity? I could see giving a stranger that much money being questionable, but family members help each other out. But maybe that concept is foreign to Republicans. Most of them would probably never loan or gift money to family members unless there was something they could get out of it.
