Rep James Comer, the head of Republican witch hunts in the House, couldn't give a straight answer to Fox and Friends when they asked if he had any actual evidence that the Biden family has committed any crimes.

After a lengthy interview, co-host Steve Doocy put the Chairman of the House Oversight Committee on the spot.

"Congressman, I have a question for you. Have you found that they -- have you found evidence that anybody broke any laws?" Doocy asked.

Rep. Comer's reply should've been 'no, at this time we have not,' but instead, he offered up a song-and-dance word salad monologue filled with speculation and conspiracies.

"Well, if the president was involved in this, obviously he would have broken many laws because we don't believe that China would have paid the Biden family millions of millions of dollars for nothing," Comer said. "We believe that China was more than likely getting something in return."

If, if, if...

"The same could be said for Ukraine with Burisma," he said. "The same could be said for some of these shady characters they were dealing with in Russia."

"So what we're trying to determine is if, in fact, Joe Biden made policy decisions and did things that were not in the best interest of the American in order to enrich his family, then those are laws that are that are certainly broken," Comer said.

The longer he talked, the more circles he drew.

If it's money Comer is worried about, maybe he should investigate Jared Kushner. He received 2 billion dollars from the Saudis six months after leaving the White House and after Trump's White House refused to hold Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman accountable for the murder and dismemberment of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.
