“Credible.” That’s the word that Rep. James Comer, Sen. Chuck Grassley, and other Republicans have used again and again when referring to an unnamed informant behind their supposed probe into what Comer charmingly calls “the Biden crime family.” This mysterious source wasn’t just at the heart of the purported investigation. At a press conference back in May, Comer made it clear that this man and his claims were the entire results of their four months of looking under rocks and chasing down conspiracy theories.
However, after leveling absolutely unsupported statements about “a criminal scheme involving then-VP Biden,” Comer’s conference fumbled to a halt with the admission that his one and only witness to this scheme had disappeared. “Well, we’re hopeful that we can find the informant,” said Comer on Fox News. “Remember these informants are kind of in the spy business.”
As it turns out, Comer was absolutely correct about one thing: His missing informant was in the spy business. As in he’s a spy. For the Chinese government. And an international dealer in illegal Chinese weapons.
