To that end, the GOP congressman has been fixated this year on Bidens use of an autopen a tool every modern president from both parties has utilized and as The Daily Beast noted, Comer is even prepared to go in an unexpected direction:
The MAGA lawmaker overseeing the investigation into former President Joe Bidens autopen use has vowed to probe the former presidents judicial appointments. During an appearance on Fox News, Kentucky Rep. James Comer, who leads the House Oversight Committee, said his inquiry would look at everything that was signed with the autopen, including executive orders, pardons, and nominees.
......The Republican lawmaker didnt explicitly mention any of the jurists by name, but in context, the segment began with a lengthy focus on Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson Bidens only appointee to the high court and Comer could be seen on camera shaking his head in an apparent disagreement in response to the justices public comments.
Comer added that, as part of his conspiracy theory, he believes its an open question as to whether Bidens judicial appointments, each of which was confirmed by a majority of the U.S. Senate, are legal.
The Kentucky Republican added, I think all of these are in jeopardy of being declared null and void in a court of law.
In reality, its difficult to take any of Comers rhetoric seriously, but given that these bizarre comments are coming from the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, the GOP congressman is at least letting the public know where his misguided investigation is likely to go next.
