The hearing was a joke. They should’ve never had it until after getting more documents. McCarthy is using Comer to create a distraction for conservatives so he can jack up the debt and cave to Biden on the budget.

The Democrats in the Senate aren’t going to convict Biden so this entire thing is a waste of time. Failure theater designed to manipulate the right while McCarthy sells out his country again.
