James Comerâs committee is keeping the pressure on.
Days after releasing a video showing a direct link between a Chinese energy company and now-President Joe Bidenâs bank account, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability announced the White House not being cooperative when it comes to clearing up questions about the Biden familyâs dodgy financial practices.
And considering the stakes involved, that should make the American people furious.
In a Friday evening social media post, the Republican-led Oversight Committee published a social media post declaring that the White House âtoday made clear to us that President Biden is refusing to hand over loan documents for any âloansâ he provided to his brother, James Biden.â
âWeâve exposed nearly a quarter of a million of dollars that James Biden sent to Joe Biden as âloan repaymentsâ that were funded by laundered China money and influence peddling schemes,â the committee stated.
âIs this what âthe most transparent administration in historyâ is supposed to look like?â
The question answers itself, of course, but just for the record, no, itâs not what a âtransparentâ administration looks like. In fact, itâs about the opposite of what a âtransparentâ administration looks like.
What it looks like is a White House thatâs been caught red-handed by a political opposition thatâs uncovered mounting evidence that the man now in the Oval Office has a record of profiting from his familyâs dealings with foreign governments peddling the influence the âBidenâ name implies.
What it looks like is an administration taking a âtalk to the handâ attitude toward legitimate questions about whether Joe Biden spent the years before his presidency â both as President Barack Obamaâs vice president as a a private citizen between government jobs â thanks to the offices the American people trusted him with.
What it looks like, in a word, is âCorruption.â And it looks like the White House is engaging in the time-honored Washington response of being caught red-handed: Stonewalling.
From the attitude of Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer, the tone of Fridayâs social media post, and the response the committeeâs post generated from the GOP, that tactic is going to have some problems.
Since taking over the committee in January, Comer has made clear he isnât backing away from any aspect of investigation when it comes to the Bidens, whether itâs the president, son Hunter and his evidence-stuffed laptop, the hangers-on brothers James Biden and Frank Biden, or the numerous Biden relatives who made money off extensively documented shell companies tied to the Biden influence-peddling schemes.
And that aggressiveness came through in the social media postâs closing paragraph:
âWe wonât be stopped by the Presidentâs stonewalling,â the committee stated. âWeâll continue to follow the money, expose President Bidenâs Corruption, and deliver accountability.â
Thatâs not exactly the Era of Good Feelings.
And from the responses, many Americans were in a similar mood:
âKeep digging,â encouraged former Rep. Jason Chaffetz, a onetime Utah congressman who served as chairman of the House Oversight Committee and is now a Fox News host.
As if to drive the point of its determination home, the Oversight Committee released another statement Saturday, this one excoriating the establishment media for running interference for the White House.
âItâs time for Corporate Media to wake up and report on one of the biggest scandals in U.S. history,â the post stated.
âPresident Biden and the Admin he promised would be the most transparent in history continue to stonewall us at every turn. There will be accountability.â
There will be accountability, all right, even if the establishment media â as corrupt in its own way as the Biden crime family â doesnât lift a finger to help.
The Biden administration is a disaster on so many fronts that Americans are noticing â whether stoking the inflation thatâs burning through American pockets and pocketbooks, dealing with the ongoing invasion of illegal aliens, long since out of control and now a known national security threat, or presiding over the humiliating, self-inflicted image of the worldâs only superpower reduced to a stumbling, bumbling corrupt caricature of itself.
Thereâs a reason Bidenâs polling numbers are pathetic, even while his Justice Department, local Democratic prosecutors and the national establishment media wage relentless legal and propaganda warfare on his behalf against former President Donald Trump, Bidenâs single most influential political opponent.
And when that accountability comes, Americans will have a reason to be grateful to Comer and his committee, for keeping the pressure on.
The stakes â the future of the country and its citizens â are too high to back down now.
