It seems as if Mr. Luft sought “whistleblower” standing from you in an effort to defend himself from legal prosecution whereas a fugitive from justice. Worse but, this newest episode additionally raises issues that Mr. Luft could also be manipulating your investigation not just for his personal self-interest however maybe additionally in furtherance of the CCP’s efforts to undermine U.S. safety pursuits and the President of america.

These latest revelations naturally elevate broader issues concerning the credibility and motivations of different purported whistleblowers that Congressional Republicans have relied on to assist unfounded and baseless allegations. Sadly, the Luft episode severely undermines the credibility of the important operate of whistleblowers on this physique. We additional notice that you’ve got refused to share any paperwork or data that you’ve got acquired from Mr. Luft with Oversight Committee Democrats. Given your individual public endorsements of Mr. Luft’s data, there is no such thing as a believable foundation so that you can withhold from Committee Democrats any and all data that Mr. Luft has offered to the Committee, together with any data that led you to conclude that he’s “a really credible witness” regardless of being beneath indictment and a fugitive from justice.

With a view to defend the Congress’s institutional credibility and to reassure the American those that the CCP shouldn’t be utilizing Republicans’ investigations as a automobile to undermine america authorities, we urge you to right away provoke an investigation into whether or not the Committee could have been unwittingly duped by Mr. Luft in furtherance of the CCP’s pursuits, in addition to any probably false statements made by Mr. Luft to Members of Congress or congressional workers. As well as, we request that you simply instantly present Committee Democrats with all supplies and knowledge offered by Mr. Luft to the Committee.

How massive of a failure does a committee chair should be that the guy members of his committee are calling for an investigation into whether or not or not he was duped by a fugitive?

Comer has been an epic embarrassment since Republicans formally took again the Home, and he turned the chair of the Oversight Committee.

Rep. Comer seems to be working beneath the impression that information don’t matter. If he can give you sufficient sensational allegations, ultimately, one thing will stick with President Biden and assist Trump win the 2024 election. I’ve been overlaying nationwide politics since 2004, and I can’t keep in mind a request like this ever being made by a congressional committee of its chair.

If Comer had any disgrace, he could be humiliated. He is standing with a fugitive who committed crimes against the United States. 

Rep. Comer is both a buffoon or corrupt, and each choices ought to disqualify him from chairing the Oversight Committee.
