From this morning's Eugene Robinson op-ed in the Washington Post:
"Republicans who have been trying for years to “prove” that President Biden is somehow corrupt made a big show Wednesday of revealing their smear campaign to be a shameless, empty exercise in rumor and innuendo.
Don’t take my word for it. Listen to Steve Doocy, one of the hosts of the morning show “Fox & Friends,” which is normally the safest possible space for Republican politicians to trumpet their talking points.
'You don’t actually have any facts to that point,' Doocy said Thursday to House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), who was trying to sell the idea that the president, his brother James and his son Hunter were part of some shadowy influence-peddling scheme. 'And the other thing is, of all those names, the one person who didn’t profit is — there’s no evidence that Joe Biden did anything illegally.'
That wasn’t the reaction Comer had hoped to get in a GOP-friendly venue the morning after his much-hyped news conference releasing the findings of the Oversight Committee’s investigation into the president’s family. You might have missed Comer’s event, because it happened while another Republican member of Congress, Rep. George Santos (N.Y.), was being taken into custody and arraigned on felony charges of wire fraud, money laundering and other federal crimes." (our emphasis)
Heh heh, nice reminder at the end of some of the real corruption infusing the Republican / Forced Birth / Shooters party. Along with Comer on the House side, you have on the Senate side the Kremlin's favorite Senator, the gutter-dwelling Wisconsinite Ron "Tiny" Johnson pushing innuendo and smears against the Bidens. It's a nastier replay of the Benghazi! Benghazi! BENGHAZI! show they put on to harm then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the polls leading up the 2016 election. With their sexual assaulter guy looking forward to multiple Federal and state indictments, and after the Manhattan DA's 34 felony counts and E. Jean Carroll's win for sexual battery and defamation, they want to "both sides" the 2024 political campaign with their laughably transparent smears, but as Robinson says, they've got "a whole lot of nothing."
