And despite having the power of the majority in the House, they have come up empty every time. Even worse, their own witnesses have testified that Biden has never done anything remotely illegal or impeachable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=58954\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">GOP Speaker Admits the Purpose of the Biden Impeachment Inquiry is to Hurt Biden Politically<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>None of that, however, has dissuaded them from their malicious mission to denigrate Biden and his family, and to subject them to vicious personal attacks without any basis in reality. And naturally, Fox News is right beside them to buttress their lies and defamation.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday morning, Senior Fox News Trump-Fluffer, Maria Bartiromo, interviewed Rep. James Comer (R-MAGA), chair of the House Oversight Committee. And undeterred by the utter lack of any new or evidence or testimony, they resumed wallowing in the sort of dishonesty that resulted in Fox News having to pay $787 million for lying about election fraud. Bartiromo began with a question that included her own obvious bias&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Bartiromo:<\/strong> What else can you do get some accountability after all of this information that you say you&#8217;ve dug up?<br \/>\n<strong>Comer:<\/strong> I think the two best options moving forward are obviously criminal referrals and then impeachment. Impeachment is still on the table. There&#8217;s still an overwhelming majority of Republicans that agree with me that Joe Biden has committed impeachable offenses. Now our confidence level in the Senate is very low, but at the end of the day the criminal referrals are something that I believe &#8211; if we don&#8217;t have a Department of Justice today, hopefully in a year we will have a Department of Justice that can hold him accountable. But we&#8217;re gonna have the tools in place to hold this family accountable for the criminal wrongdoing that they have committed one way or the other.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">After more than a year of &quot;investigating,&quot; Comer has still never produced a shred of evidence of any wrongdoing by President Biden. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hwDCu4uTno\">https:\/\/t.co\/hwDCu4uTno<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; News Corpse (@NewsCorpse) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\/status\/1775582036126056846?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 3, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Virtually every word of Comer&#8217;s reply is untrue. He has no path forward for impeachment, or he wouldn&#8217;t be resorting to criminal referrals. And he has no path forward for criminal referrals because their is no evidence of any crime, and the Department of Justice will surely laugh it off. Furthermore, Comer does not have an <em>&#8220;overwhelming majority of Republicans&#8221;<\/em> on his side or he would have brought it to the House floor for a vote.<\/p>\n<p>What Comer is actually announcing is that he expects Trump to <em>&#8220;weaponize&#8221;<\/em> the Justice Department (something that Trump and the GOP regularly whine about) to prosecute his political opponent if he were to reoccupy the White House. Which would be peculiar since Trump insists that presidents have <em>&#8220;total immunity&#8221;<\/em> from any criminal prosecution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=60735\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Is Trump Now Saying that Presidents Do Not Have \u2018Total Immunity\u2019 \u2013 Or Just that Biden Doesn\u2019t?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Apparently Fox News and Comer disagree with Trump. And Trump will disagree with himself if the opportunity arises, because he couldn&#8217;t care less about being consistent or even rational. The only thing Trump ever cares about is whatever he can bend to his self-interest at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, none of this comes to pass if Biden is reelected. In which case, Comer&#8217;s <em>&#8220;two best options&#8221;<\/em> are losers before they even leave the gate. Which is a situation that he should be familiar with by now, considering all the losing he has suffered through so far.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=59294\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">HUH?
