John Solomon, editor-in-chief of Just the News, explained how Republicans in Congress are “playing the long game” when it comes to bringing accountability for the acts of the “Biden crime family.”
Solomon, noting how possible articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden would die in the Senate if they were to pass the House, said Chairman of the House Oversight Committee James Comer (R-KY-01) is “looking ahead” in terms of accountability by “forwarding criminal referrals on the Biden family and others and witnesses who may have lied during the impeachment inquiry.”
“There’s the impeachment inquiry and there could be articles of impeachment positive in the House later this year and voted out. I don’t think it’ll go anywhere in the Senate. It will die in the Senate, and then James Comer said, ‘Listen, if it were to die in the Senate, there wouldn’t be much accountability.’ So James Comer is thinking ahead,” Solomon explained on Tuesday’s episode of The Michael Patrick Leahy Show.
“There’ll be a moment sometime in the future where there will be a different president, a different justice department, maybe under Republican rule. So one of the things he’d like to do is to forward criminal referrals on the Biden family and others and witnesses who may have lied during the impeachment inquiry,” Solomon added. “Not so Biden’s DOJ can deal with it because they probably won’t, but because a future DOJ and the statute of limitations still in place could address it down the road.”
Solomon went on by saying that the DOJ, under the next U.S. president’s command, could bring “criminal prosecution” for the Bidens’ “bribery and influencing scheme.”
“If President Trump were to get back in office or a different Republican president or a different Democrat president, the statute of limitations and a lot of things that have happened in the last year will still live for many years to come. So you see, Republicans are also playing a long game on this and looking for ways to create accountability after the Bidens are no longer in power,” Solomon said.
“I think that the end game for this, if there’s going to be long term accountability, is they’re going to have to find a way in the criminal justice system to have a long lens that maybe after the Bidens are out of power, there’s still an opportunity to bring criminal prosecution for what is essentially a bribery and influencing scheme,” Solomon added. “That’s certainly what the Republicans believe their evidence shows.
Noting how the long term accountability strategy “may not be satisfying to most people,” Solomon said he believes there’s going to be “significant accountability.”
“The short term accountability will come in a tax prosecution and long term accountability will probably not come from articles of impeachment, but rather in some form of prosecution that a future Justice Department, not the Biden-Garland Justice Department, will take in the years ahead,” Solomon said.
