Comer to NBC host: ‘You’re financially illiterate’

House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) has been under fire from the establishment media in Washington for his investigation into alleged financial misdeeds by the Biden family, accused of hyping evidence his team has uncovered to push impeachment.

But he’s had enough and is telling the media what he thinks of their White House defense.

Just last night, as he appeared on Meet the Press Now, he told host Ryan Nobles, “The American people aren’t buying what you’re selling,” adding, “the mainstream media is trying to cover this up.”

It came during a verbal tussle over the evidence Comer has collected and presented drawing a line from Hunter Biden’s overseas businesses to the president.

Repeatedly, Nobles echoed the White House claims that some evidence showed a simple loan, while Comer, a banker, said there is no proof of a loan and instead the transactions suggested influence peddling.

After one badgering from Nobles, Comer had had it.

“You’re calling it an influence-peddling scheme, and you don’t even know definitively whether or not it’s a loan?” said Nobles.

Comer, with a smirk, responded, “You don’t understand. It’s like you’re financially illiterate. You look like a smart guy on TV. Listen, I’m a banker. You know, I’ve been involved in a bank board for a long time. The money that the Bidens pay Joe Biden back with came from influence peddling.”

Throughout the interview, Comer asked Nobles to show the evidence he had to back up his claims, but none was offered.

Comer, meanwhile, has been releasing his findings for weeks and now the House GOP appears ready to begin an official impeachment of Biden for allegedly helping his son when he was vice president set up shell companies with overseas sources and then profiting from them.

“I think that at this stage, we have more than enough evidence to continue with impeachment inquiry. My job as chairman, the Oversight Committee was never to impeach, that’s the Judiciary Committee. My job was to follow the money. We followed the money. The media has changed the goalposts so many times of what we had to find. You all said for months, okay, find evidence where Joe Biden benefited directly from the influence peddling team. We have seven transactions now that show that and you say, Oh, well, there’s evidence it’s alone. It’s not hard to prove a loan. Again, if I loaned you $240,000 I should have a check or wire to you. What they are showing the press is a wire from a law firm. Who knows where the money went into the law firm? The law firm could easily dispel this. Oh, okay, we’ve got a check from Joe Biden. Somewhere Joe Biden should have a check.”

Nobles said, “A lot of this is based on innuendo and suggestion; it’s not based on hard evidence, sir.”

Comer responded, “bank records don’t lie.”
