Overview

• House Republicans are reportedly frustrated with House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer's (R-KY) impeachment investigation against President Joe Biden, with more than a dozen anonymous Republicans dismissing Comer's efforts as a 'clueless investigation'.
• Comer's investigation has been focused on Biden's son, Hunter, and his foreign business dealings, but after more than a year of subpoenas and testimonies, Comer has not produced any evidence that would directly implicate the president in any 'high crimes and misdemeanors' that would necessitate impeachment.
• Comer was further embarrassed when Hunter Biden's attorney pointed out that the original subpoena of his client was 'legally invalid'. Hunter Biden made a surprise appearance at a recent committee meeting where members were set to vote to hold him in contempt, effectively nullifying the committee's argument that he was avoiding them.
• An ally of former President Donald Trump told the Messenger that Comer had 'cast a wide net and caught very little fish,' indicating that it was becoming a significant issue for the GOP.
• Republicans fear that Comer's mismanagement of the inquiry has ruined the GOP party's opportunity to score a much-ballyhooed election-year victory of impeaching the president.
