Congressman James Comer (R-KY), Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, spoke to Brian Kilmeade about President Joe Biden’s pardon of his son, Hunter Biden. Comer believes the reason for the timing of the pardon is because Hunter was to be sentenced on December 12th. Comer estimates Hunter was charged for about 10% of what crimes he believes were committed and feels any other American whose last name is not Biden would have been carted off to prison. Comer says that the reason the blanket pardon is from 2014 until December 1st 2024 is because that’s when the House Oversight Committee started subpoenaing bank records, from 2014 onward. Comer explained how the information collected by the Oversight Committee came from the private sector, private banks, depositions, and this information could have been sent to the Department of Justice which could have sent Hunter Biden and his entire family to prison.
Comer said Jim Biden will also be pardoned because he lied in his transcribed interview, and lying to congress is a felony and was referred to the Department of Justice. With a new administration coming in, Comer wants to meet with Pam Bondi and says they will do anything she wants. If Bondi wants to pursue the evidence uncovered by the Oversight Committee, she could go down in history because this is a clear public corruption case of a sitting President of the United States

Rough transcript :
Brian Kilmeade [00:00:00] James Comer You knew every time that President Trump and President Biden said, I’m not going to pardon my son, you knew he was going to pardon his son.
James Comer [00:00:08] Right? He he had to pardon his son. I mean, December 12th, I believe, is the sentencing day. They’re going to sentence him to prison. And really what he’s being charged for, Brian, is just the tip of the iceberg of the financial crimes they’ve committed, not to mention the salacious stuff on the laptop, just the financial crimes alone. I would estimate he was charged for about 10%. But that 10%, any other American whose last name is not Biden would have been carted off to prison on that day. And that’s why I knew Joe Biden would pardon his son.
Brian Kilmeade [00:00:42] He said he kept his word, but he watched who I was. Son was so being selectively and unfairly prosecuted without aggravating factors when it come to the gun crime like use in a crime, multiple purchases are buying a weapon as a straw purchaser. People are almost never brought to trial on felony charges solely for how they filled out a gun form. He talked about the tearing apart of a perfectly good plea deal. Your thoughts about the reasoning he put out for making the pardon? He did.
James Comer [00:01:10] Well, look, if if it were just about the the gun crime and the 10% of the tax evasion that he was actually charged with, then the pardon would have said just that. But the pardon was a blanket pardon from 2014 to December the 1st. And the reason he started it December 14th is because that’s when the House Oversight Committee started subpoenaing bank records from 2014 on. And the financial crimes. If you just look at what the sixth bank said in the in the suspicious activity report are what are known as sayers that they sent to Treasury. They said money laundering, bribery, extortion, and the list goes on and on and on about the most serious financial crimes that I’ve ever seen. And I’ve been in banking a long time. And they knew Joe Biden and his legal team knew that a new Trump administration, if they wanted to take the work that the House Oversight Committee had done with with 100% obstruction from the government, all our information came from the private sector, from private banks, from from depositions, from people like Tony Backblaze and Devin Archer. They could have taken that and actually gotten the information from the FBI and the IRS and the justice that Joe Biden bought from us. And they could have sent Hunter Biden and his entire family to prison. And I would argue Joe Biden for a long time if they really wanted to, if Bondi wanted to do that, she could do that.
Brian Kilmeade [00:02:41] Right. So right now, why do you think the president president got multiple reasons to do it. It’s they want to portrayed as a father just protecting his son from years of addiction. It’s so much different than that, because usually when people do crack or do horrible things, sex addiction, whatever he’s claiming he has, they’re not doing multimillion dollar, multimillion dollar deals in China, Russia, Romania, Ukraine and Mexico. They’re not doing it. And to think the president, the president and his soon to be former president didn’t know about it is you prove that he knew about speaker phone attendance. Part of it. Part of it all.
James Comer [00:03:18] Why? Why? If there was nothing. Foul about Joe Biden talking and meeting with all these people that were wearing Hunter Biden money. Why did he lie to the American people about it? Why didn’t he say, yeah, I had a three hour dinner with the Russian oligarch a day before she wired $3.5 million into a shell company for my son. Why? Why did he lie about having dinner with her? Why did he lie about meeting with all of these people? Because he knew it is illegal to shake four nationals down, especially when you’re the sitting vice president elect, which is what was happening. That gets lost in translation, right? Most of the money that Hunter Biden took in happened while Joe Biden was vice president of the United States. And then the China money happened less than 90 days after he left the presidency. And that’s when Hunter shifts attack. But what that message came to my father sitting beside me. You better fulfill the commitments. And the commitments were made. Joe Biden was vice president. So what did Joe Biden do that would make China send his son $5 million from a Chinese shell company to a to a Biden shell company? What did Joe Biden do? For the commitment. That’s the question that a real Department of Justice could ask Joe Biden. I think it’s the biggest political public corruption scandal in our lifetime. And Joe Biden pardoned Hunter Biden to save himself.
Brian Kilmeade [00:04:51] So do you think you’re going to investigate it even if it doesn’t result in a criminal charge?
James Comer [00:04:55] Well, you know, it’s going to depend on the Department of Justice. I will be happy to move forward with this investigation. But we have been blocked from so much information and evidence. The National Archives never has turned over the pseudonym emails. The pseudonym emails will show that Joe Biden was communicating secretly with those shady.
Brian Kilmeade [00:05:16] Can you explain with pseudonym emails or a pseudonym?
James Comer [00:05:19] Email is email and a fake name. And Joe Biden had five fake names in emails. Said he was he was being copied on and he was communicating with with these shady characters like Devin Archer and people like that that were involved in these schemes. So so, you know, if there was nothing wrong, why why is the White House blocking National Archives from turning over the information? There’s information that the Irish whistleblower said that the Department of Justice and the IRS have, but they won’t turn it over. So the only way that I’m going to get that information, whether I’m in the mess, whether, you know, whether Jim Jordan and I are in the majority or in the minority, the only way is if the administration turns it over. We’re going to have a new administration. And if if Bondy I’m honest, I want to meet with her. And I know Jim Jordan wants to me, if she wants to pursue this, will help and it will help, you know, we’ll do anything that she wants. But we are at an impasse until the administration turns it over. We can’t win in Washington, D.C. Circuit court. It’s going to have to be you know, it’s going to have to be from the Department of Justice. And I think the Department of Justice can take what we found and we found it. Brian, I can’t emphasize this enough through the private sector, when we subpoenaed the private sector banks, they turned over everything. They turned over all the bad bank records. They turned over all to the Treasury. Suspicious activity reports. When we subpoenaed people like Devin Archer and Tony Bobulinski and Jim Biden and Hunter Biden to come in for depositions, they came. But when it got to the government, the deep state blocked us at every turn. The deep state sitting on a lot of information if it’s not been shredded yet and the only way to get it is through the attorney general. And if Bondy wants to do it, I think she she could go down in history because this is this is a clear. Public corruption case of a sitting president, United States.
Brian Kilmeade [00:07:21] The other big story is who paid his taxes and with interest and who paid? That producer just says, I like that Hunter Biden, so I’m going to pay millions of dollars of his fines and overdue taxes.
James Comer [00:07:37] That was Kevin Morris, a Hollywood lawyer and Democrat donor. Kevin Morris met Hunter Biden through Joe Biden at a Biden fundraiser in California. Less than one month after Kevin Morris met Hunter Biden through Joe Biden. He started paying Hunter Biden’s delinquent IRS tax bills and his legal bills to the tune of at least $8 million $8 million in addition to the $27 million that Biden took in from our adversaries around the world. I mean, you’re talking about real money. Hunter Biden never had a job the entire Biden presidency, but he lived in a in a $40,000 a month condo in Culver. This was all being paid for by Kevin Morris, which, you know, has to be a conflict of interest by the United States, that his son, who he obviously thinks a lot of, was living the most luxurious life ever. Off of a Democrat donor.
Brian Kilmeade [00:08:44] Right. And you wonder, was that donor getting money to prop up Hunter Biden?
James Comer [00:08:51] He represented some clients. I’m not going to get in into that. That’s something I’ll be happy to talk to Bondy about. He represented clients that stood a lot. They could gain a lot from some presidential decisions that were being made that are being made as we speak. And I think that that that’s something that certainly the Department of Justice should and definitely could look at.
Brian Kilmeade [00:09:19] Who else in the Biden family should be looking for a pardon? Would you think he’s going to pardon?
James Comer [00:09:24] Yeah. He’s going to pardon Jim Biden because we brought Jim Biden in for a transcribed interview. We did a deposition with Hunter Biden. We did a transcribed interview with with Jim Biden. Jim Biden lied. Lying to Congress is a felony. He clearly lied. There’s no doubt. We published a report showing that he lied. And as a result of his his perjury, we referred him to the Department of Justice. So just like the January 6th committee referred people to Merrick Garland, that they ended up, you know, going to prison and things like that. The same thing with Joe Biden. So there’s no doubt in my mind. On the way out the door, he’s going to pardon Jim Biden. The reason he pardoned Hunter Biden so early is, again, from what I said at the beginning of this interview, Hunter Biden was about to be carted off to prison. And in about a week and a half. So he intervened on that. So my Biden, you know, he’s nothing’s going to happen to Jill Biden until a Trump administration start. So he’s going to jump in on the way out.
Brian Kilmeade [00:10:28] Has he been charged with anything?
James Comer [00:10:30] Yeah, he was. We gave him criminal referrals to the Department of Justice for lying to Congress. So, yes, he was charged by the House Oversight Committee for lying to Congress, which is a felony.
Brian Kilmeade [00:10:40] David Devin Archer It’s.
James Comer [00:10:41] The tip of the iceberg on Jim.
Brian Kilmeade [00:10:43] But do you think all these guys are going to get pardons? Like, for example, Devin Archer evidently did something different to get himself in trouble. He’s looking to jail, but he was a early business partner of Hunter Biden. Do you think that they’re going to get these?
James Comer [00:10:59] I think Devin Archer has always hoped that he would get a pardon. You know, I think Devin Archer was I think he always had more information he could have provided to the oversight committee. We’ll see if he gets a pardon or not. That’ll tell a lot. But my my prediction is Devin Archer will not get a pardon, but we’ll see. So no Archer thinks he’s going to get a pardon.
Brian Kilmeade [00:11:25] What was your reaction when you when you heard when you when you heard that this pardon was coming the way he came? Well.
James Comer [00:11:31] My phone started started going crazy with texts, you know, I mean, I predicted I’ve done a bunch of interviews and I thought, he’s going to pardon Hunter and Jim mind on the way out the door. I mean, there’s no. The only reason he didn’t do it together again is because Hunter Biden was going to be Senates. And remember, he would not have been Senates were it not for an investigation because they were going to give him that sweetheart plea deal, which was essentially what this pardon was waiving any. Current or future crimes that were that were discovered. That was what the blanket sweetheart plea deal was going to be. And it’s the same thing. The reason the judge kicked it out is because of information that we obtained and sent to the judge that Congress sent to the judge from the from the Irish whistleblowers, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler. So, yeah, there was never any question this thing’s been set up. The deep state, where’s the money? So, you know, that’s a great question. I think he he went through a lot of it. I mean, if you look at at the last he said again, well, I don’t care who you are if you don’t have any income coming in and you say in a $40,000 a month house and you drink the finest wine and the most expensive eat at the most expensive restaurant to drive, you know, the most expensive sports cars and and have to purchase a different woman or two every night along with the drug habit you can you can run through a lot of money really quick but you know the question do they have an offshore account? So I don’t know. We could only find out if subpoenas were only good on the shore of the United States. Yeah. You know, if anything’s in the Grand Caymans or anywhere like that or Switzerland or anywhere like that, we did not have the authority to pursue that. But the Department of Justice does.
Brian Kilmeade [00:13:25] So, Congressman, do you think that he is paid or he’s going to go ahead? I don’t. The grandchildren have money in their names. They obviously had nothing to do with this.
James Comer [00:13:33] There were there were ten Bidens, including Joe, Joe Hunter and Jim were the, you know, overwhelming majority of the of the money. But seven other Bidens at some point received incremental payments from the influence peddling schemes. So but I think from a from a criminal standpoint, certainly Jim Biden, Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, those are the three people of.
Brian Kilmeade [00:13:58] Interest and they get away with it. Congressman James Connolly, I thought you did a fantastic job and hopefully we continue to hear more. Thanks so much for joining us.
James Comer [00:14:06] Thank you. Bye.
