GOP Biden Basher Can’t Answer Hannity’s Question About Bogus Bribery Allegations"},"content":{"rendered":"

The razor thin Republican majority in the House of Representatives is continuing to dig furiously for any crumb of contrived corruption on the part of President Biden and\/or other Democrats. In that pursuit they have held numerous hearings that inevitably resulted in humiliation for the GOP scandal mongers.<\/p>\n

Leading the charge are devoted Trump toadies Jim Jordan, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee. Between them they have managed to obsessively hype countless crackpot conspiracy theories that have resulted in unequivocal exonerations of the targets of their political animus.<\/p>\n

The latest red herring they have been chasing has turned around and bit them in their fat arsenals of slander-bait. For several weeks they have been boasting that Devon Archer, a former business partner of Hunter Biden, would be coming to Congress and providing “bombshell”<\/em> testimony that would send the entire Biden family to prison. On Monday Archer finally showed up and gave testimony that contradicted everything that the Republican shills had promised. Axios published a summary<\/a><\/strong> of the testimony that said…<\/p>\n

“Archer testified that Hunter put his father on the phone with friends and business associates roughly 20 times over 10 years.”<\/em>
\nThat’s a grand total of twice a year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Archer ‘repeated over and over and over again that President Biden never discussed any business dealings or interests with Hunter or anyone else,'”<\/em>
\nSo Republicans outright lied about that.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Archer testified that he knew nothing about the alleged $5 million bribes paid to the Biden family.”<\/em>
\nSo Republicans outright lied about that too.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Archer also testified that Burisma believed efforts to oust Ukrainian prosecutor general Viktor Shokin were bad for the Ukrainian energy company.”<\/em>
\nConsequently, Biden’s efforts to oust the prosecutor were bad for Hunter as well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Following that disaster, Comer rushed over to Fox News for a propaganda fest with Sean Hannity. But he even failed to achieve his dishonest disinformation goals in that friendly environment…<\/p>\n

Hannity:<\/strong> Yes or no. Do you believe that this is now officially the Joe Biden bribery allegation, and do you believe that you will be able to prove that?
\nComer:<\/strong> I sure hope so. And I do believe that there’s a lot of smoke and where there’s smoke there’s fire. And we just heard testimony today that Joe Biden has lied to that American people.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
