Rep. James Comer Talks Up Criminal Referrals, Legislation As Impeachment Prospects Dim

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING WASHINGTON – Instead of impeaching President Joe Biden, Republicans may settle for telling the Justice Department to prosecute his son. House oversight committee chair James Comer, who has led Republicans’ investigation of Biden’s alleged involvement in his son Hunter’s foreign business deals, suggested Wednesday that the end result of the probe would be criminal referrals to the Justice Department, not the toppling of a president. It looks like referring people to the Department of Justice.” Since launching the investigation last year, Comer has repeatedly said that his committee would refer the president’s son, Hunter Biden, for prosecution by the Justice Department. Troy Nehls put it last month: “You got Joe, and then you got Donald Trump, and then Joe says, ‘Donald, you’ve been impeached twice, man, you’re a bad, bad hombre.’ And then Donald says, ‘Joe, you’ve been impeached once, if you can remember.’” The facts of the case, however, haven’t cooperated with Republicans’ plans, and a vote on articles of impeachment against Biden seems unlikely due to skepticism from a number of GOP lawmakers. “If Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice won’t take any potential criminal referrals seriously, then maybe the next president with a new attorney general will,” Comer said.
