All rotten to the core. Power and money breed greed
They don't even care about the optics anymore.
Congressional Integity Project.Eight months of digging and BS and story telling by the Repuplicians to find some way of diverting attention from the string of indictments facing Donald Trump.
And then this comes up.
Biden impeachment inquiry ‘eight months of abject failure’, watchdog report says
The Congressional Integrity Project reports on several inconsistencies and untruths in James Comer’s House investigation
The man leading the Republican charge for an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden has endured “eight months of abject failure” in trying to prove the US president guilty of wrongdoing, a watchdog report says.
.."After months of political stunts, dozens of hearings, transcribed interviews, and memos, and despite hours on Fox peddling conspiracy theories, Comer and his Maga crew have failed to find a single shred of evidence linking President Biden to any of their lurid accusations,” says the report by the Congressional Integrity Project, which monitors the Republican investigations. “In fact, Republicans have been forced to walk back claim after claim.”
The report offers an anatomy of a fake scandal, detailing a series of exaggerated assertions that have shriveled under scrutiny. They include Comer saying at his first press conference that he had evidence of “federal crimes committed”, relentlessly invoking “deep state” conspiracy theories and claiming that his whistleblowers “fear for their lives”.
For months, the report says, Comer talked to the media about four individuals he claimed were “whistleblowers”, a term increasingly hijacked by the right. It adds: “Problem is – they weren’t whistleblowers and there were only two people.”
Comer was eventually factchecked by his own colleague on the House oversight committee. Democrat Jamie Raskin wrote to him: “The two individuals your staff specifically identified as the individuals they understood to have been referenced during your March 6 Fox News interview, are not whistleblowers … Your repeated statements about ‘four people’ suggest that either you have intentionally misrepresented the Committee’s investigative progress to your conservative audience or that key investigative steps have been deliberately withheld from Committee Democrats.”
Why are we not surprised that a Republician Party that has totally lost any respect for truth or reality will twist and make up any sort of tat to discredit Joe Biden and take some heat off Trump ?
Really why don't the just do it properly and make up some decent fake evidence that can at least lie straight ? Trying to twist the actual facts into a lying pretzel doesn't cut it.

Oh for heavens sake Bas, the democrats and republicans are just as bad as each other.The Democrats always knew that when the Republicians took control of Congress they would raise and examine any and every story that could be mustered to smear Joe Biden and his son.
So The Congressional Integrity Project just examines and questions very carefully these investigations. And guess what ? They don't stand up. The evidence is not there. The people who say things melt away. All that is left is the thundering accusations which after all when you are Donald Trumps Party is all you need. But it does help to robustly call them out when it is clear that the evidence does not stack up
Of course Donald Trump himself doesn't need any evidence when he goes to town on indicting Democrats . Nope . He'' just demand "his"Justice Department indict the Democrats because he wants to.
That is Justice Trump style.
Trump threatens to indict his political opponents if reelected

Big money players and just a game to themOh for heavens sake Bas, the democrats and republicans are just as bad as each other.
Trying to pretend that one side is worse than the other merely shows your political bias.
