I don't disagree with any of that with relation to Hunter's situation, although there is another FBI whistleblower who testified to the Senate Judicial Committee about being limited by his superiors with regards to questions about Trump/Rudy. So it cuts both ways within the FBI...
The whistleblower said his supervisors had interfered in his work to protect “certain politically active figures and possibly also FBI agents.”

But back to Tapper, while he may be curious regarding the Special Counsel probe of Hunter, he is far more skeptical of Comer and his unsubstantiated claims of Joe Biden's corruption...
Since we're posting Tapper pieces, here is an appearance by Comer in which Comer lies reaptedly and for the most part Tapper calls his bluff. He could have done a better jo of pressing Comer on various lies and the Christie expose of Trump/Kushner corruption was more damning than what he showed Comer during the interview. He let Comer off the hooki with regards to the double standard and hypocrisy...
For example Comer says as a way of "excusing" Kushner's grift with the Saudi's that Kushner "had a business" and he got paid after Trump left office. Now at that point Tapper should have reminded Comer that Kushner's "business" was a total bust prior to securing the huge "investment" from his buddy the Crown Prince, who of course benefitted from Kushner's direct intervention in US policy in the CP's behalf.
Now unlike Hunter B, Jared Kushner was actually a member of the Trump Admin,( and the Trump clan) and the timeline makes it extremely clear how all of this was set up while Kushner was an active member of the US Govt. Also, note to Comer if you're going to point to a What's Ap message from July 2017 as "evidnce" of Joe Biden's corruption and excuse Kushner because Trump was no longer in office, you sound like a hypocritical moron.
I counted at least 7 lies Comer told in this interview, particularly with regards to what Archer claimd or testified to. Can you spot them?
And Tapper should also have hit Comer with the fact that Gomer is sandbagging the actual testimony of Lev Parnas. Parnas who was not only point man on Rudy's attempt to dig up dirt on Biden in 2019-2020) but also has sent a 10 page letter to Comer detailing why Comer's pursuit of Biden is a joke, as well as offering to testify in PUBLIC.
Every time stupid people repeat the ludicrous lie that Viktor Shokin was a "great Prosecutor" and that Biden was paid $5 Million to get him fired they should listen to Lev's account of meeting and interviewing Shokin, on behalf of Rudy/Trump...
My guess is Comer and Jordan are bluffing about an "impeachment inquiry" to placate the base. Right now Comer can gaslight and claim that Parnas has no worthwhile testimony to provide because at this stage the GOP can control who is allowed to testify before the Oversight Committee.
But once they expand into an actual "impeachment inquiry" then the Dems are able to subpoena witnesses as well, and Lev is ready,willing and able to testify. If he gets up on the witness stand and recounts the fact that Russian businessman Vitaly Pruss told him,Rudy and others in a meeting in NYC in May 2019 that he had personal knowledge of Hunter's laptop being hacked by Russian agnets in early 2019 what's Rudy gonna do? Plead the 5th, lie and deny he wasn't told that before anyone even KNEW Hunter had a laptop and that same laptop mysteriously fell into Rudy's hands 6 months after the May 2019 meeting?
Again my prediciton is there is never an "impeachment inquiry" because there is no way Comer can risk Parnas revealing on national tv the contents of the letter he (Parnas) sent to Comer 2 or 3 weeks ago...Lev knows where the bodies are buried and he kept very accurate notes...
