You know Comer has a book coming out on his “investigation” of Hunter Biden. I wonder if the publishers know it’s all lies?
Remember the FBI informant who claimed President Biden took millions in bribes from Burisma?
He admitted today in federal court that he made the whole thing up.
And that he started spinning new lies after meeting with Russian intelligence.

The Senate *hates* Matt Gaetz.
This is going to be an early check on whether or not they’ll be a realistic check on Trump’s power or if they’ll just roll over and do what he wants.
But the fact that a coked up pedo was even nominated for AG is insane.
