House Oversight Chair James Comer on Possible ‘Shadow Government’: We’re Looking into Who Is Really ‘Calling the Shots’ Under Biden
Breitbart ^ | 13 Jul 2024 | HANNAH KNUDSEN

House Oversight Committee chair James Comer (R-KY) is investigating who is really “calling the shots” under President Joe Biden’s leadership, issuing subpoenas to three little-known White House staffers while trying to determine if there has been a “shadow government” this whole time.

“We’re looking to see who is actually calling the shots for Joe Biden,” Comer said during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday.

“I mean, I think it’s very evident that he isn’t able to serve as president, much less an additional four years, and we’ve all been asking the questions ‘Who is actually running the show? Who’s pulling the strings?'” he said, noting that Republicans have used their sources, including disgruntled Democrats, to identify three White House staffers, whom Comer described as the “gatekeepers for Joe Biden” who have “shielded him” from his cabinet secretaries as well as from the mainstream media.

“They shielded him from lots of people that probably could have sounded the alarm much earlier than, than a week ago that Joe Biden wasn’t mentally able to serve as president. So we’ve subpoenaed them. No one had ever heard of any of the three, including myself, prior to determining that these were the three to subpoena. We’re gonna bring them in and we’re gonna ask them questions and we’re gonna see if, in fact, there was a cover-up, number one, and number two, even worse, we’re gonna determine whether or not there’s been a shadow government,” Comer continued, as it has been apparent, he said, that “Biden has not been in charge for quite some time.”

“After three years of Joe Biden, Watergate doesn’t look much different than jaywalking,” Comer said.

They’re looking into huh? Why, they need to convene a Special House Investigation and get back to us in their usual time frame.

About 3 years from now.

Comer is only 3.5 years late. This was obvious from the beginning.

As such, this is nothing more that accountability theater.

See how this whole thing is moving toward an intervention? Almost like it was part of a plan. 🤔

Was any President ever Sane?
Competent?
Entirely alive?

You need not ask yourself these questions.

Because the president is not the president!

He’s just a figurehead, more of a mascot, really—like the Geico Gecko of the executive branch.

The actual presidency probably consists of somewhere between five and 50 people, whose identities may or may not be public knowledge.

“They” stand behind or around or sometimes on top of the president and execute the duties of the office according to their collective wisdom.*

*?’s Adapted from the movie “Dave”!

There is no impact on doing a thing now. You guys are pathetic! It matters now? But it didn’t matter for 3 years.

"We’re gonna bring them in and we’re gonna ask them questions and we’re gonna see if, in fact, there was a cover-up, number one, and number two, even worse, we’re gonna determine whether or not there’s been a shadow government,” Comer continued. . . "

I am laughing hysterically at this useless blowhard and his fellow useless blowhards. As if these self-serving phonies didn't know Biden was a potato until they saw him mumbling and stumbling during the debate? Really? Where were these scumbags during the past three and a half years - besides stuffing their pockets and feathering their nests?

I loathe the Republicans almost as much as I loathe the Democrats.

Exactly.

And, why hasn’t this Poserdent’s “Cabinet” NOT said a word about not having any Cabinet meetings, since OCTOBER???

Excellent idea! One might want to rule out the Chinese Communist Party. Just a thought...

@JoeBiden
’s call with the Congressional Progressive Caucus, the president said his staff passed him a note to “stay positive you are sounding defensive.” Biden read the note aloud to participants on the call.
