Comer Confident on Impeachment Vote, Slams Buck as ‘Next’ MSNBC Anchor – The Conservative

Uncategorized

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., provided insight into the impending impeachment vote targeting President Joe Biden and the level of support among House Republicans for such a motion, particularly after they expelled a member of their caucus. 

During an interview with Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo, Comer suggested that House Republicans might face the loss of two votes in their push for a formal impeachment inquiry into Biden. He referenced alleged connections to bribery, political corruption, and influence-peddling schemes. 

“It’s tough,” Comer acknowledged. “I think we can lose one or two members—Ken Buck. He votes ‘no’ on everything. He’s certainly doing everything he can to try out to be the next anchor for MSNBC.” 

Comer’s remarks coincide with House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La.,’s statement that the House plans to conduct a vote on the impeachment inquiry. This decision follows contentions from the White House, which has blocked access to documents, arguing that the investigation lacks legitimacy due to the absence of an official House vote.

The chairman of the House Oversight Committee highlighted that Hunter Biden, a central figure in the impeachment investigation, has echoed the White House’s objections against the inquiry.

“Hunter Biden’s legal team has already sent a letter implying that this wasn’t a legitimate investigation because the impeachment inquiry hadn’t been voted on,” Comer explained. “That was one of the things they were going to try to use in court to keep Hunter Biden from coming to be deposed.” 

In a letter directed to the three committees leading the inquiry, White House special counsel Dick Sauber appeared to entertain the notion that impeachment inquiries necessitate validation through a House vote. 

Similar arguments arose during the Trump administration when former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi initiated an impeachment inquiry into former President Donald Trump. These arguments were largely dismissed by Democrats, who only held a vote for the 2019 impeachment weeks after its inception. 

Comer drew attention to the growing impatience among Republican voters regarding the lack of accountability over the allegations raised against the Biden family by House Republicans.

“It’s been painful for many people in America that have kept up with this because they’ve seen the evidence for months and months that would warrant the impeachment inquiry formal vote,” Comer added. “People see there’s just too much evidence here, just to say, ‘Okay, well, that’s that,’ and move on to the next investigation.”
