I'm not sure what kind of "gotcha" you think all that represents. None of those statements are inconsistent with one another. They could all be true or false. But they don't represent some sort of changing narrative. They are simply different answers to different questions.
And now the only evidence that the committee had to suggest wrongdoing overseas or connections between Hunter Biden and Joe Biden has now vanished in a puff of smoke and lies.
And yes, James Comer has done the VERY SAME THING that the House GOP accused Adam Schiff of doing. He has deliberately misrepresented facts to the American public with respect to Hunter Biden and his business associates. And he even lied to the American public about his own business dealings and business associates when it was discovered that he was using the same sorts of shell companies that he was accusing Hunter Biden of using for nefarious purposes. And he has lied about the testimony given to the committee behind closed doors by Hunter Biden's business partners.
It doesn't change the fact that Biden blatantly lied to the American people numerous times, when he and his administration made claims, that he never discussed his son's businesses with him. His son rode along with his dad on Air Force 2 about 14 times, on business trips. His dad was with him in business meetings at restaurants and various other places when Hunter was meeting with his business partners. We have photos of Biden golfing with Hunter's business partners.
Just this week one of Hunter's former business partners testified under oath saying that Joe Biden not only knew about the influence peddling that was going on and that he knew his family’s dealings with a Chinese Communist Party linked energy company, but he also enabled them and participated in them.
There will be plenty more evidence outside of this one incident with Smirnof.
As for James Comer having shell companies. I know some in the mainstream media made those ridicuoulous claims. It only revealed their lack of knowledge and ignorance about business practices of millions of business owners in this country.
Comer has various business assets including some farmland. Some of that land is used for farming and some for hunting. He has broken down his assets into separate businesses, something many business owners do. Especially business owners who have real estate outside of a primary business. I know of many businesses here in Lancaster County who the owner has real estate or farms outside of a primary business. There is a big builder in the northern part of the county who also has a big farm. The two are completely separate businesses, but one owner. Very similar to what Comer has. Many times businesses will form separate business LLC's for liability reasons. In the event one company has a lawsuit against them, the other assets or the individual can't be touched with that suit.
Anyone with any business knowledge knows that an LLC with assets is clearly not a ‘shell’ company. Comer divided his company assets into separate entities, depending on the purpose of the land. Compare that to the Bidens who have over 20 shell companies with nothing to show, no land, no business purposes, no services provided, only designed to hide millions in payments from foreign nationals. And Comer previously consulted with the House Ethics Committee to ensure he was properly disclosing everything required. There was nothing nefarious going on.
