House GOP blasts appointment of Hunter Biden special counsel
Top House Republicans are accusing the Biden administration of attempting to stymie their investigation into Hunter Biden following the Department of Justice’s appointment of a special counsel.
Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) raised doubts about whether special counsel David Weiss could be trusted and pledged in a statement that House Republicans would continue their investigations into the president’s family.
“This action by Biden’s DOJ cannot be used to obstruct congressional investigations or whitewash the Biden family corruption,” McCarthy said on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “If Weiss negotiated the sweetheart deal that couldn’t get approved, how can he be trusted as a Special Counsel? House Republicans will continue to pursue the facts for the American people.”
Russell Dye, a spokesperson for House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), also questioned whether they could trust Weiss and said the appointment of the special counsel “is just a new way to whitewash the Biden family’s corruption.”
“Weiss has already signed off on a sweetheart plea deal that was so awful and unfair that a federal judge rejected it. We will continue to pursue facts brought to light by brave whistleblowers as well as Weiss’s inconsistent statements to Congress,” Dye continued.
Meanwhile, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) called the move “part of the Justice Department’s efforts to attempt a Biden family coverup.”
“Let’s be clear what today’s move is really about,” Comer said in a statement. “The Biden Justice Department is trying to stonewall congressional oversight as we have presented evidence to the American people about the Biden family’s corruption.”
Comer and Jordan have led the push to investigate President Biden’s family’s business dealings and have sharply criticized how the Justice Department handled its probe into Hunter Biden.
Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Weiss, the Delaware federal prosecutor who has been leading the Hunter Biden investigation, as a special counsel Friday.
Garland said the appointment comes after Weiss approached him and said he thinks a special counsel would be necessary to proceed in the case involving the president’s son.
“On Tuesday of this week, Mr. Weiss advised me that in his judgment, his investigation had reached a stage at which he should continue his work as a special counsel, and he asked to be so appointed,” Garland said in a statement Friday.
“Upon considering his request, as well as the extraordinary circumstances relating to this matter, I have concluded that it is in the public interest to appoint him as special counsel,” Garland added.

Comer says Kushner ‘crossed the line of ethics’ with Saudi deal
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said Thursday that Jared Kushner, former President Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser while in office, “crossed the line of ethics” by accepting a $2 billion investment from the Saudi government in his private investment firm six months after he left the White House.
In an interview on CNN’s “The Lead with Jake Tapper,” Comer acknowledged an argument made by 2024 GOP presidential candidate Chris Christie, who noted Kushner’s extensive work in the Middle East on behalf of the Trump White House and claimed in an earlier interview “the Trump family has been involved in grifting for quite some time.”
Comer, however, sought to draw a distinction between Trump’s family business dealings and President Biden’s family’s, which Comer suggested he viewed as more severe.
“I’ve been vocal that I think that what Kushner did crossed the line of ethics,” Comer said on CNN when asked to respond to Christie’s claim. “What Christie said — it happened after he left office. Still no excuse, Jake, but it happened after he left office. And Jared Kushner actually has a legitimate business. This money [to] the Bidens happened while Joe Biden was vice president while he was flying to those countries.”
Comer has been leading the Oversight panel’s probe into the Biden family and has secured testimony claiming Hunter Biden, the president’s son, leveraged his father’s position as vice president to sell the “illusion of access” to help in his personal business dealings. The panel has not found evidence, however, that President Biden committed any crime.
Kushner served his father-in-law in an official capacity as a senior adviser while Trump was president. He met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on behalf of the Trump administration and played a key role in defending the Saudi government after the U.S. concluded the crown prince had approved the killing of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi for criticism of the kingdom.
In 2022, the House Oversight panel, under Democratic leadership, launched a probe into the $2 billion investment Kushner secured from the Saudi Private Investment Fund (PIF), which is controlled by the crown prince.
“Your close relationship with Crown Prince bin Salman, your pro-Saudi positions during the Trump Administration, and PIF’s decision to fund the lion’s share of your new business venture — only six months after the end of your White House tenure — create the appearance of a quid pro quo for your foreign policy work during the Trump Administration,” former Oversight Chairman Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) wrote in a letter to Kushner at the time.
In the interview Thursday, Comer defended the probe of the Bidens and insisted the ultimate goal is to change the way Washington works so people cannot benefit from the high-powered jobs their family members have.
“We’re trying to do that,” Comer said when asked about changing the way Washington works. “That’s been the goal from day one is to have a legislative fix. A lot of the President’s defenders, especially in the media, say that, ‘Well, this influence peddling is a cottage industry in Washington.’ Well, it needs to change.”

Florida Republican rep. files articles of impeachment against Biden
Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) announced he filed articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden on Friday.
In a statement, Steube’s office said he filed the articles against the president for “for high crimes and misdemeanors.” The articles feature accusations of fraud, obstruction of justice and bribery stemming from allegations of illegal business dealings and tax crimes.
“It’s long past time to impeach Joe Biden,” Stebue said in the statement. “He has undermined the integrity of his office, brought disrepute on the Presidency, betrayed his trust as President, and acted in a manner subversive of the rule of law and justice at the expense of America’s citizens.”
Steube, who endorsed former President Donald Trump in his 2024 bid for the presidency in April, is joining him and other Florida U.S. House representatives at the Iowa State Fair this weekend. In his endorsement of Trump, he said the former president is the only person that can fix the “disastrous policies of the Biden administration.”
“He’s widely supported in my district, widely supported in Florida and I’m honored to add my endorsement to the long list of endorsements for President Trump,” Steube said in his announcement.

Trump took Jesus out faster than he took out Desantis. Only a few years ago everybody in the GOP had Jesus as their imaginary friend and used to talk to him daily, well Donald put an end to that bullshit! He is actually a pretty good fit for the antichrist, the one the bible warned them about. The founding fathers warned them too, much of the constitution and the division of powers was to avoid the likes of Trump. Like Jesus, he separated the sheep from the goats, only here on earth.

Pence: calm, cold, quietly focused on the dominionist endgame … is a better fit but still not there.
Pence is today’s perfect Republican. He presents much more soothingly than defendant, but he has embraced all the falsehood and extremism the worst of the far right has to offer. He isn’t squandering his political capital like a Boebert or even a McCarthy.
Make no mistake: he is shark-dangerous.

To me it is just one more fault line in the republican party that Trump drove a wedge into, Ukraine is another and even the 2020 election results for some. They are coming apart at the seams and when Donald explodes, they might too, with all the drama, division, Trump's legal trouble and the probable timing of events, the republican convention should be a fucking circus. Even issues like abortion and guns are dividing them, some see the writing on the wall that demographic and generational change will make a reality. The main thing is the republicans lose it all in 24 and take a pounding in the states, the fucking of Trump is a given, but the timing of his conviction over J6 is important too, as is his possible incarceration, before or after conviction. I think Trump is disqualified from running anyway, but it probably won't get to that, or it might if conservative republicans want to get rid of him before the primaries begin by going to court somehow. If he is the GOP nominee, then democrats will be going to court to have him removed from the ballot.
