Listen closely from the nondescript hallways outside of Rep. James Comer’s Capitol Hill office and you may just be able to hear the sound of knives being sharpened.

With a GOP takeover of the House looking likely this November, the Kentucky Republican and ranking member of the House Oversight Committee is poised to become the new Congress’s most prominent investigator. And the first course the 50-year-old farmer is set to serve to an expectant GOP base, hungry for political revenge? An investigation into Hunter Biden.

Appearing on Fox News late last month, Comer suggested breathlessly that the younger Biden was having an affair with his assistant, citing an unnamed source. “I googled a picture of his assistant. She’s a very attractive girl, so I started looking even more,” he said, adding, “According to the whistleblower, they were more than just business associates, if you know what I mean.”

The blunt hypocrisy exposes a reality of what’s at stake for Democrats in the November elections. If Republicans win control of the House, they intend to ramp up efforts to paint Hunter Biden as a national security threat who has corrupted his father, using official committee investigations to present a degree of seriousness to what has often been an unserious endeavor.

5. Sleeping with a business colleague isn't illegal

If it were, 90% of r business people would be in jail.

If using family connections to get jobs were illegal, 99% of r business people would be in jail.

This is just stupid revenge because their dear leader's evil kids got caught committing real crimes.

6. This is a reminder that they don't learn

Remember when they went after Clinton for his sex life?

How many r hypocrites got exposed for their creepy sex lives from that?

Isn't there a saying about pointing a finger at someone means three are pointed back at you?

A whole bunch of these dipwads will get 3X blowback for any nonsense they dish out about other people's supposed "crimes."
