Maria Bartiromo Tells James Comer Why Her Audience Is 'Disappointed' In Him
HuffPost
The Fox News host let the GOP lawmaker know why her fans were dismayed on her Sunday show.
Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday told Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) that her audience was “disappointed” that his probe of former President Joe Biden produced no prosecutions.
After a failed effort to pin corruption charges on Biden for alleged undue influence in business dealings with son Hunter Biden and other relatives, the investigation by the House Oversight Committee chair and GOP members ultimately fizzled.
“You did a very good job,” Bartiromo told Comer on her “Sunday Morning Futures” program. “You identified the bank statements, you identified whistleblowers and you did a very deep investigation, we all covered it. ... But I’ve got to tell you, my audience is a little disappointed.”
Noting the last-minute preemptive pardons that Biden granted to family members, Bartiromo told Comer: “Should we just expect after all that work you put into it, after all the conversations we’ve had, they got away with it?” she asked, perhaps forgetting that the investigation never produced the proof necessary for an impeachment.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), then the top Democrat on the committee, concluded: “What do you call a hellbent 20-month impeachment drive whose managers finally just dissolve into compulsive repetition of thoroughly discredited and meaningless accusations? I would call it a complete exoneration of the target of their pathetic attacks.”
