Biden impeachment probe back in the spotlight by Republicans

House Republicans have fired off a new subpoena for bank records of Sarah, James and Hunter Biden . ‘This is a result of many of the documents that Devon Archer turned over,’ Oversight Chair James Comer said on Fox Business, referring to Hunter’s ex-business partner who has sat for interviews with the committee twice.

Comer, R-Ky., went on: ‘Remember, he was subpoenaed, and he turned over 3.7 million document documents never before been seen by any of the IRS investigators, the Securities and exchange investigators, or any of the different, groups that have been investigating the Bidens for years and years and years. And we’ve been able to connect some dots.’

The new subpoena, Comer hopes, will ‘answer every question [ Congress has] had’ in the impeachment inquiry into President Biden that is dragging into its eighth month. The Oversight Committee started investigating Hunter Biden’s shady business dealings over two years ago and are now trying to connect the dots up to President Joe Biden , who has long claimed he had no involvement in his son’s business dealings.

‘We know the Biden family set up over 20 shell companies and raked in over $24 million from China , Russia, and other foreign adversaries,’ Comer said. ‘Today’s subpoena will help further expose the Biden family’s influence peddling schemes, the intentionally complicated web of LLCs formed by the Bidens to enrich themselves, & the central role Joe Biden played in the business dealings.’

Momentum on impeachment seemingly fizzled in recent months as it became clear Republicans did not have the votes, especially under a one-vote GOP majority. Comer has now turned his focus to criminal referrals to the Department of Justice.

‘I want to hold accountability,’ the Kentucky Republican said on NewsMax. ‘What does real accountability look like? Does it look like impeaching Joe Biden in the House and then the Senate tabling it?’

‘Or does it mean providing real criminal referrals to the Department of Justice? I think the latter,’ Comer, chairman of the Oversight Committee, added.

‘We want to hold accountability and I believe that the best path to accountability is criminal referrals.’

A criminal referral would largely amount to a symbolic letter suggesting to the Department of Justice suggesting prosecutors probe specific crimes they believe have been committed.
