On Mornings with Maria, Rep. James Comer expressed his dismay that the mainstream media has "refused to help him" in investigating the Biden family.

Comer and the committee he chairs have the power of the subpoena, but he has come up empty in implicating the president of any wrongdoing.

The Republican Chairman of the House Oversight Committee joined MAGA supporter Maria Bartiromo to vent his frustration.

Two things can be true at the same time: Comer has no evidence, AND he sucks at his job.

"So when we say to a national audience that the Bidens created 20 companies that serve no purpose other than to launder money, that's a pretty serious accusation, Maria, and not a word from the White House, not a word from the mainstream media, in pressing the White House to determine whether that's true or not," Comer whined.

Shorter Comer: Why won't White House reporters repeat my lies?

It's a pretty sad look for a chairman of a powerful congressional committee to go on TV and complain that the media isn't doing his job for him.

He's come up short in trying to find evidence of corruption from the president. Begging the New York Times, LA Times, and the Washington Post to become part of his Oversight Committee, or just inflate his false claims, is just stupid.

The NY Times already confirmed that "House Republican Report Finds No Evidence of Wrongdoing by President Biden."

Marcy Wheeler has a great thread denouncing Jim Jordan's concerted attempts to spin wingnut propaganda and weaponize his committee against free speech.

Russian stooge Ron Johnson could only "infer" criminal behavior, and admitted Republicans have no proof.

They are making stuff up.
