James Comer Demands That Biden's Dementia Conspirators and Autopen Usurpers Stand for Questioning

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer on Thursday wrote to key aides to President Joe Biden demanding that they sit for transcribed interviews as part of his investigation into the former president's mental decline and the potentially unauthorized use of an autopen for executive actions.
Comer wrote to Biden physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor, former Domestic Policy Council Director Neera Tanden, former Assistant to the President Anthony Bernal, former Deputy Chief of Staff Annie Tomasini, and former Special Assistant to the President Ashley Williams.
"The cover-up of President Biden's obvious mental decline is a historic scandal. The American people deserve to know when this decline began, how far it progressed, and who was making critical decisions on his behalf," Comer said in a press release. "Key executive actions signed by autopen, such as sweeping pardons for the Biden Crime Family, must be examined considering President Biden's diminished capacity."
"Today, we are calling on President Biden's physician and former White House advisors to participate in transcribed interviews so we can begin to uncover the truth," he added. "In the last Congress, the Biden White House blocked these individuals from providing testimony to the Oversight Committee as part of the effort to cover-up Biden's declining health. Any continued obstruction will be met with swift and decisive action. The American people demand transparency and accountability now."

Below, Trump says that Biden wouldn't have ordered open borders, but that "leftwing lunatics" took advantage of a senile, weak man to impose that. I doubt that specific claim, but he's 100% right that unelected hacks were illegally running the country for four years.

And Ed Martin, now at the DOJ to investigate weaponization of government, says a "high-ranking Biden Official" has come forward to give information. He said a "senior, senior Democrat" gave him the three names of Biden staffers using the autopen to sign Biden's names to thousands of partners, and this "whistleblower" says "people were making money off it."

President Trump knows what's happened under Biden.

"The Autopen is becoming a big deal because it seems like the president is whoever was operating the Autopen."

There was no cohesiveness, nothing connecting people with each other. No one was there for the same reason.

I tend to agree, but Trump turning this around like that is good politics. They are clearly trying to blame this all on Biden now that he's gone from politics and probably won't be alive much longer. Trump is effectively saying "no, this is not just about Biden, it's about the entire deep state and the entire Democrap party."

If Biden wasn’t even present, what is the legality of any of his executive orders? Of his pardons? As … VIxhi wrote, Trump knows how to frame an argument to at least bring the desired result closer to reality.

Most of DC follows the 4-stage strategy from Yes Prime Minister:

1: Nothing’s going to happen.
2: Something may be going to happen but we should do nothing about it.
3: Maybe we should do something, but there’s nothing we can do.

-------------------

True, Biden would agree with any Democrat policy that didn't endanger his family's grift. Trump probably sees it that way too. This is just an excellent angle to extend an olive branch to anyone feeling sorry for Biden. It's easier for those people to get angry at the 'extremists' who were taking advantage of a friendly old man (and join Trump in doing so) than it is for them to get angry at everyone anti-Trump (including that old man)...

153 ANYTHING signed by autopen is questionable.

And, importantly, Trump is not framing this as “autopen is bad” but that “Biden wasn’t the signer”.

Now there's no need for a investigation that I know exactly what hell Kami tells you. Lies! She was no different than any staffer in the WH-- they were all disloyal except Hunter and Jill.

I tried to run the WH properly by the book but Trump fought me at every turn.

If the Democrats wanted to walk around with Transgender Hookers then all right let them deal with getting HIV

The Autopen is Defective equipment no more no less, but they encouraged the Republicans to go around scoffing at me and spreading wild rumors about Shit Stained Depends and Babbling to the press.

And then old Braindead Fuckstain. I was to blame for Schumer's and Pelosi's incompetence and poor statesmanship. VP Harris was the perfect POTUS but not Ole Joey Diddy Boy Biden

Ah, but the Autopen! That's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes, but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, and with geometric logic, that Obama was Mr. Autopen. And I'd have produced that evidence if not for a rigged debate in Trump's favor.

It absolves actual Biden voters from the mess made over the last four years. It says to them, "hey, they guy you voted for would never have done this. You were betrayed."

Now, most of them won't go for it but some will. They will, in effect, accept that they were wrong without being forced to admit that they were wrong. Some of those will convert and, having converted, will be savage. All the little things that they accepted to be part of the "coalition of lunacy" will be anathema.

It's classic Trump triangulation. Go for what you can win. There is nothing to be gained by attacking a senile old man, dying of cancer. His voters would reject that out of hand and smear you as heartless.

But attack a nameless, faceless cabal on the premise that they took advantage of a senile old man, dying of cancer, likely for personal profit, and you have a winning case. There is literally nobody to defend there (yet), and any attempted defense would appear blatantly hyperpartisan.

We start off with her whining about the ship even though her fiancee has spent a lot of money getting them the best accommodations, then when everyone is trying to kick back and enjoy the cruise she does a faux suicide attempt so she can get attention, then lies about why she did it.

She has lunch where her mother asks her nicely to stop smoking then blows smoke in her face, then turns around and insults the fucking CHAIRMAN OF THE COMPANY THAT OWNS THE BOAT.

Decides to cheat on her fiancee with this bum, doesn’t do anything to help keep him from being embarrassed at a fancy dinner, poses nude for some crappy sketch, then starts running around the ship and disrupting operations.

Goes up and distracts the lookouts so they don’t notice the iceberg until it’s too late, then doesn’t speak up when the guy who cuckolded her fiancee is framed and handcuffed in the basement of the sinking ship.

255 Then when she gets a seat on a lifeboat, she jumps off which means someone else couldn’t use it. She follows this hobo around then when they’re in the water he finds a door that they can both fit on but she won’t scoot over for him, and won’t help him find another door he can use so he freezes to death and she shoves his corpse into the ocean. She then lets her mother and fiancee think she’s dead so she can go on and live some bohemian lifestyle.

Then she hears about this guy who spent many years and a lot of money researching and exploring the wreck for a diamond, calls him and asks him if he found it EVEN THOUGH SHE DAMN WELL KNOWS IT’S NOT DOWN THERE, gets him to fly her and five hundred pounds of luggage to his boat where she spends two days telling this boring-ass story, doesn’t tell him she’s had the diamond all along AND NEVER TOLD ANYONE, even bringing it onto the guy’s boat. She finishes her stupid story, goes and throws this diamond into the water, then dies on this guy’s boat which then gives him a headache about what to do with the body.

The most terrifying horror film of the 90s. Every time Forrest begins to pick himself up out of the dirt, the evil succubus Jenny comes along to drag him down again. The final look on his face at the bus stop isn't quiet contentment, it's abject terror at the thought of raising a child alone that he barely knows.

In the attached video of the interview, Martin clarified that is was not an official but rather someone very high up in the 2020 campaign. If I had to guess, it's probably Lindy Li because those are the exact same people that she had previously named, among others. As to how they were making money off the use of the autopen, I would explore any executive orders signed by the autopen that pertained to funding grants and then look for any connections back to these goons via charities, foundations, etc. It kind of ties into Rubio's statements about the 12% in aid reaching intended recipients. Maybe these folks were tied to the structure that was draining the other 88%. Just my two cents.

301 Forrest should have dumped Jenny for Wilson and lived happily ever after.

Yeah he should have waved goodbye when she was playing folk guitar in the nude. But the entire book was an analogy for boomer culture and memories and she was the Ideal Hippie Girl.

Like Field of Dreams which was ostensibly about baseball, but was instead about a generation's nostalgia and memories and experiences with their dad. But not nearly as entertaining as Forrest Gump, which I wouldn't want to watch twice anyway.

302 As Veep, in a speech around 2012 -2014 (timewise as best I can recollect,) at the podium Biden stood right up and said we want you all to cross the border and come into our country, come on - come on, we need you to come here, all while he waved his arms in an inviting manner.

Trump knows better than to even say that, but I guess I get his point.

304 208 Hopefully, Ace will do a post on Bongino and Patel lying to Bartiromo about Epstein killing himself. Dan Bongino looked like a ten year old alter boy lying about drinking the wine in the sacristy!

Bongino always struck me as a heart on the sleeve kind of guy. No poker face for a lie that big. I bet somebody had to step on him hard to get him to agree to that.

305 Well she's a communist so ..

Unfortunately, I think there are any number of young communists who look good. At the risk of starting the A0-C looks discussion again, I think she looks good and may very well be the Presidential Dem candidate next go around. I don't think A O-C looks as good as J.D. Vance though 😊

When AOC was new she had the squad had picked out a half dozen elections they thought they could support and campaign for to grow their movement. They lost every single one.

306 My only take away from that Titanic movie was the absolutely horrific dialogue. Whoever wrote the screenplay is special needs.

Riddle me this, Batman. You're in a cabin filling up with water as the ship is starting to go down. You're having a shouting conversation over the noise. You don't preface each comment to the other person with their name. "Jack, we need to get out of here!!" "Rose, cut my ropes!!!" "Jack, what happened to the concierge?" "Rose, what's a concierge?"

My favorite part of Titanic on the raft just after the whole ill never let go and Jack dying Rose virtually gets out a balpeen hammer to break his grip and dump him into the depths. And in real like he would have bobbed around near her like a cork.

307 I remember hearing so much about Titanic, then seeing it, and think...is that it?

It was a shitty movie. bad dialogue. dumb story. Some mediocre acting. and waaaaay to long.

309 It why Biden's polices went from schizophrenic to idiotic. Whoever controlled the autopen made the policy.
