Lawmaker caught on hot mic branding Biden impeachment hearing as ‘Jurassic Park’ - eviltoast
‘You can’t make this stuff up,’ someone can be heard saying

A hot mic captured a lawmaker labelling the heated House Oversight Committee’s impeachment inquiry hearing into alleged corruption committed by the Bidens as “Jurassic Park,” encapsulating the hearing’s devolution into chaos.

An apparently frustrated GOP-led committee heard testimony from a variety of witnesses who have more or less confirmed their so-far failed efforts to support evidence of any corruption.

Rep James Comer, the committee chair, told Dan Goldman, a Democrat on the panel, that he was “out of order,” banged his gavel, and said, “We are in suspension here until the clerk comes so we can take the vote that your side of the aisle requested.”

    You mean “Russian Asset Devin Nunes”? ;)

    “The intelligence community, for instance, assessed that Putin “had purview over” the activities of Ukrainian lawmaker Andriy Derkach, who played a prominent role in advancing the misleading narrative alleging corruption between Biden and Ukraine. [Rudy Giuliani] met with Derkach, whom the United States has sanctioned as an “active” Russian agent, in Ukraine and in the United States in 2019 and 2020”

    Followed by:

    “It was against this backdrop that Maloney spoke yesterday to MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace and said, “[T]he fact is that [Russian operatives] were so comfortable using people like Devin Nunes that Andriy Derkach – a known Russian asset – sent information to Devin Nunes at the Intelligence Committee. We literally had the package receipt.””
