Speaking during a recent episode of The Drill Down podcast, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), the Chairman of the House Government Oversight Committee, commented on how though he is disappointed his committee’s work in investigating Hunter won’t immediately pay off thanks to Biden’s last-minute pardons, he still thinks that Trump can go after the Biden Crime Family.
That came when Rep. Comer, after saying, Breitbart News reports, “The ball’s in [incoming Trump Attorney General] Pam Bondi’s court,” posed the question of if the real matter at hand is if President Trump is willing to go after the Bidens with a vengeance. He asked, “Is the Trump administration committed to holding them accountable?”
Continuing, he told the show hosts that the Bidens quite obviously violated a major law about lobbying for foreign governments. He said, “The Department of Justice could nail the Bidens for violation of Foreign Agents Registration Act.” He then added that there were other crimes as well, saying, “They could nail the Bidens for money laundering. They could nail the Bidens for tax evasion.”
Then, speaking about the whistleblowers who testified to his committee on the matter, Comer said, ” IRS whistleblowers said they didn’t pay any taxes on tens of millions of dollars that we found they took from these foreign countries. The banks said they were money laundering. Everybody that knows anything knows they were violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act.”
That’s when Comer was asked the all-important question: will pardons protect the Bidens? He said, answering that question with a comment on how overwhelmingly broad in scope the pardons were, “You know, the most corrupt thing about these pardons is that they’re preemptive, broad, blunt, covering anything and everything.”
Building on that, he noted that the pardon could be “tested” because of its broad nature, saying, “an admission that they did more than evade taxes. They were money laundering, they were violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act, possibly the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The list of laws that they have broken goes on and on and on. So, you know, I think that could be tested.”
That’s when Rep. Comer was asked about another potential criminal violation committed by the Biden family: “Have you ruled out the possibility that Biden family members would have been involved in negotiations over any kind of financial transaction to convince Joe Biden to step down from his reelection campaign? Would that constitute a crime? And if it would, is that also a crime they may have been just pardoned for?” He said, in reply, “I do think that’s a possibility. Having researched them over the past two years, I would put nothing past the Bidens.”

Comer also recently went on CNN do describe much the same thing about how the pardons show an admission of guilt and could be used to take down the Bidens. Devory Darkins, commenting on that on X, said, “Congressman Comer (R-KY) reminds CNN how they have the receipts to prove how the Biden Crime Family took money and how the preemptive pardons prove admission of guilt.”
