Representative James Comer on the Clinton subpoenas.
House Oversight Chairman Representative James Comer
was on Sunday Morning Futures
Maria Bartiroma to discuss topics including the Clinton subpoenas.
The Russian collusion hoax and Biden's mental decline.
We're even going to question Bill about
his numerous trips to Epstein Island
and everything else we can get answers to,
Comer indicated, which will be nothing.
Quote, we've asked him to come in in October.
We've given them specific dates.
But guys, in my humble opinion, Congress will gain nothing out of this.
And this is just another waste of time.
A nothing burger.
Why would you wait until October?
Drag their asses in to testify now.
I cannot believe we're talking about Congress giving involved.
Who has accomplished nothing in my entire 57 years on this planet.
More taxpayers money and more time lost.
More horse and pony shows.
All right, they tried to screw the sound up,
so we're going all a different way.
We'll call it loud.
Committee, Kentucky Congressman James Comer.
Mr. Chairman, good to see you.
Thank you so much for being here.
Good morning, Maria.
I want to first talk about the subpoenas to Hillary and Bill Clinton.
When are you expecting them to come in to testify under oath?
We've asked them to come in in October.
We've given them specific dates.
What makes these subpoenas special and historical
is that they came as a result of a bipartisan vote.
The Democrats made a motion.
Like we knew they would to subpoena the Epstein documents,
which Republicans support.
Scott Perry from Pennsylvania amended
that motion to include subpoenas for both Bill
and Hillary Clinton, as well
as six former attorneys generals, and the Democrats voted
for it.
Now they're scared and trying
to say they didn't vote for it, but they did.
It's on record, and that helps us in court.
If the Clintons try to fight this subpoena,
which we presume they will, this subpoena
came as a result of a bipartisan vote
which has never happened before in the House Oversight
Committee.
So we're looking forward to hearing from the Clintons.
The American people want to know what went on on Epstein Island.
We know Clinton went there many times.
We just want to ask Bill Clinton what he saw
when he was there and who all was involved.
Look, there's a lot of information to be gained from an interview
under oath with Hillary and Bill Clinton, that's for sure.
Would you also get into Russia collusion?
We would like to ask about that.
I'm sure their lawyers are going to be negotiating the terms.
The subpoena was issued a few days before
the Russia collusion story really broke.
But certainly we're going to ask as many questions as we can ask.
This is an opportunity to get the Clintons under oath,
which people have been trying to do for a long time.
So hopefully we'll be able to do that.
We'll get answers to a lot of questions that the American people have.
So you say that they're
I'm going to be fighting this.
Do you think this is going to go through the courts?
I would be shocked if it did not go to the courts.
But again, one thing that stands out is this bipartisan vote.
We've never had that.
I've been chairman of the House Oversight
Committee for a year and a half, Maria,
and I've never lost a subpoena battle.
This is the toughest battle that we're going
to face is getting the Clintons in here.
But again, that bipartisan vote.
And I want to thank the Democrats
on the House Oversight Committee for voting for that subpoena.
Well, I mean, look, another tough battle that you've got in front
of you is getting to the bottom of President Biden's four terms,
four years in office.
And what was going on there?
I mean, it was all very simple
and clear for everyone to see that he was, you know, struggling
in terms of his mental capacity and this use of the auto pen.
Who was running the country for the last
four years before President Trump?
It's like a very small inner circle of no-name,
unelected bureaucrats.
They were they had a tight
...reign over Joe Biden. They didn't allow a lot
of cabinet secretaries to have access to Joe Biden.
They certainly didn't allow the White House press corps
to have access to Joe Biden.
When he did come out, he was very scripted.
And what we've learned is that even when the American people realized,
after the Hur report and after
the disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump,
that Joe Biden was in mental decline, his staff...
We learned from Anita Dunn this week,
made the decision not to give Joe Biden a cognitive test.
Even when the American people were demanding a cognitive test,
they made the decision,
the ones who were running the country,
that they were not going to give Joe Biden a cognitive test.
And I think that is pretty overwhelming evidence
that they feared what the results of that test would be.
So what do you think you will find out about
who was running the country?
I mean, after the Robert Hur interview was released,
Just a day or so later, we learned that Joe Biden had prostate cancer.
But, you know, I've got the Kevin
O'Connor medical report in front of me right now.
There's no mention of any mental decline.
There's no mention of any prostate cancer.
Yes, sir.
Why suddenly do we learn this after
the Robert Hur tapes were released?
We've watched the Hur tapes, and they're a disaster.
You understand, watching the tapes, why Robert Hur wrote that.
I mean, that was scary.
If Americans could watch that tape,
and hopefully we could make that public,
they would be concerned that this guy
was president of the United States,
had control of the nuclear football.
But at the end of the day, with Dr. O'Connor, we deposed him.
We brought him in.
For a deposition, he pled the fifth.
We asked Dr. O'Connor, were you ever
told a lie about Joe Biden's health?
He couldn't answer that question.
He pled the fifth to avoid self-incrimination.
What we found about Dr. O'Connor is he declined doing a cognitive test.
He supposedly said a cognitive test was not important,
even though every president in my lifetime has taken cognitive tests.
And we also believe that he supposedly did not.
Check the president for prostate cancer.
Every man over 50, including myself, I'm 52,
takes a PSA test every time they get blood work done.
So the story doesn't add up with respect to Dr. O'Connor.
It reeks of a political cover-up,
a cover-up of a president in declining health.
So do you think that this was an all-out effort
by the Democrats to keep their grip on power,
even though they knew that the leader in charge,
Joe Biden, really did not have the capacity to keep going,
and then they actually encouraged him to run for another term?
Looks like it, and that's what's
the most shocking about this whole thing.
This didn't just happen around the time of...
The debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
This happened a year prior to that, and yet
this small inner circle wanted to keep this man in the Oval Office,
even though they knew he couldn't perform the duties
of President of the United States for another four years.
That's what's so disappointing about all of this.
And what you see with the last 90 days,
that's when I think the auto pen was abused the most, Maria.
The last 90 days after Donald Trump wins the...
election and you're in that lame-duck period,
they start cranking stuff through that auto-pen
like crazy, pardons, thousands of pardons,
and executive orders whose sole purpose of
these executive orders was to Trump-proof
the Trump administration, to make it harder
to get federal employees to come back to work,
to make it harder to eliminate agencies like
the Department of Education.
So that's why this investigation is important.
We believe that...
There's a possibility that a lot of these executive orders
and pardons can be declared null and void in a court of law.
So you're saying that those pardons may not be legal or legitimate?
Maria, if you look at Joe Biden's one interview he's given
in post-presidency about the auto pen was with the New York Times.
And he admitted to the New York Times that they wouldn't,
that they, you know, that he just delegated that to staff.
Unbelievable. All right, we will leave it there.
Mr. Chairman, great to see you. We'll
be following your work, sir. Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen, you heard it here first.
I can't believe we're going to bring this into Congress.
Waste tax dollars.
Two, three months of time.
Let's put these people under the brink where they belong.
First off, Congress has zero ability to prosecute anyone.
We don't need a referral.
We have the emails, the text messages.
Why would you possibly need a referral?
Pam Bondi is a total tool job.
And I'm afraid, well, I hope, hope Trump is not playing along with her.
Hope y'all got good audio from this one.
Thank
I busted the studio open on this one.
Lots of love, guys.
