House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said that his committee, which has been investigating the foreign business dealings of President Biden’s family members, will eventually move to subpoena the Biden family — a move Comer hinted could include the president himself.

“This is always going to end with the Bidens coming in front of the committee. We are going to subpoena the family,” Comer said Thursday on Fox Business.

“We know that this is going to end up in court when we subpoena the Bidens. So we’re putting together a case, and I think we’ve done that very well. We’ve shown the bank records,” Comer said. “If I had subpoenaed Joe and Hunter Biden the first day I became chairman of the committee, it would have been tied up in court and the judge would have eventually thrown it out. … We have put together a case that I think would stand up in any court of law in America.”

Comer’s subpoena tease comes a day after his committee released a third staff memo outlining millions of dollars in foreign funds paid to Hunter Biden and his former associates while Joe Biden was vice president.

That memo noted that the committee has so far only subpoenaed banks tailored to specific individuals and companies, but has not yet issued subpoenas for bank records for members of the Biden family.

Comer, though, indicated that subpoenas for members of the Biden family would not be imminent.

    You know what people who operate legitimate investigations don’t do? They don’t announce on Fox Business that they’re going to subpoena the president’s family, and possibly the president himself.

    I have no doubt they will wait to try to do this during the presidential election next year. He knows they have nothing except trying to make Biden look bad through innuendo and association, and that any hearings they hold will end with a whimper. Can’t have it ending with a whimper before the election, so have to wait.

    When Democrats subpoenaed Don McGhan to testify and tried to take him to court for his refusal, the Appeals Court ruled that Congress never passed a law that allowed them to sue to enforce a subpoena, and thus, can’t sue for that

        Sure, maybe not, but are you positive? Is Biden/his family infallible for some reason?

        If there might be weird ties to money, what’s wrong with investigating and getting their official statements? It could be political BS, but would you really rather just brush it off and dismiss it so quickly?

          I’m not positive, no. But you’d think if they said “we’re releasing the evidence” so many times now… that one of the releases would have that evidence, right?

            Sure, but look at the Jack Smith case against trump, are we getting evidence put out by his team? Not really (there have been leaks), and I’m glad. Build your case, make it solid, then present it.

            I also hope anyone using this as a political weapon faces legal repercussions as well if it can be proven.

                An indictment is not evidence. Oxford: “a formal charge or accusation of a serious crime.” Yes enough evidence was presented to a grand jury to get the indictment, but the indictment itself is not evidence, it’s the accusations.

                So similarly, if there is evidence that there is illegal things happening for Biden or anyone in his family, I hope the evidence is presented to a grand jury and if they believe there’s just cause, an indictment should be issued for the individual.

                Would you at least agree that if there is something nefarious going on, with any politician, regardless of party affiliation, it should at least be investigated?

                  I think they should take the lead from Gym Jordan and not show up. Be honest, did you come online and argue with republicans on ‘doing the right thing’? Hoe committed where you then?

      They want to make a case that “stands up” in the court of public opinion. That’s all that really matters. And it’s much, much easier to convince morons that there’s a “Biden Crime Family” than it is to meet the standards of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in the courtroom.

      And even then, their target audience is very specific: It’s the population of right-leaning independent voters that don’t need much of a nudge to go towards Trump. They don’t need millions nationwide. All they need are a few thousand in juuuuust the right parts of various swing states to tip the election in Trump’s favor, even if he once again loses the popular vote by a wide margin.
