U.S. Congressman Dan Goldman (D-NY) has been especially stalwart regarding his assessment of the House Oversight Committee’s unrelenting bribery allegations against President Joe Biden. Goldman essentially says, to borrow words from Biden himself, that the charges are “malarkey.”
To make his case, Goldman usually calls as virtual witnesses the main promoters of the allegations, Committee chair James Comer and his aspersion-casting partner, Rep. Jim Jordan.
Goldman implies below that the two Congressmen have been so focused on finding (the so far elusive) evidence linking President Biden to his son Hunter’s business dealings — and further, evidence that the President took bribes when he was Vice President — that Comer and Jordan are guilty of not being able to see the forest for the trees.
That is, with partisanship being the trees and the forest being the whole of the country — an acute interest in chopping down one tree (Biden) while neglecting the health of the forest is what the MAGA Biden accusers are, according to their Democratic rivals, primarily engaged in — to the detriment of America.
In an especially “troubling” exchange below, Goldman points out that, even though he can’t produce evidence, Rep. Comer admits he hopes he can still find some — essentially saying, as Goldman points out, that he would prefer that the allegations that a U.S. President took a bribe are true.
Aside from the obvious admission that @RepJamesComer has no evidence to support his allegations, there is something far more troubling here:

An elected member of Congress “hopes” that the President of the United States has been bribed.
We must stop putting party over country. https://t.co/p3Zgt9SX7B
As Goldman phrases it, “an elected member of Congress ‘hopes’ that the President of the United States has been bribed.”
By implication, hoping that the President is a criminal, that he is guilty of such behavior, is anti-American. A more patriotic and American response would be, as Goldman tacitly suggests: “I hope not.”
Rep. Goldman, in his tweet, laments that fevered partisanship presently occludes the larger goal of American prosperity for all.
Goldman implores his colleagues: “We must stop putting party over country.”
The White House has addressed Comer’s investigative intransigence also, with Ian Sams, White House spokesperson for oversight and investigations, writing that Comer’s “repetitive tactic of laundering thin innuendo has proven his total lack of credibility – and lays bare why his baseless or debunked claims deserve derision,” according to The Hill.
Nine days ago, @JamesComer went on Laura Ingraham and declared that Devon Archer was “going to be able to come under oath and tell us exactly what role Joe Biden played”
