Barbara Comstock (R-VA), a Former Congresswoman, and a RINO who blames her 2018 loss from Democrat Jennifer Wexton on President Trump and America-First Republicans.
In 2017, Comstock is seen with President Trump, Ivanka, and Melania Trump. One has to wonder if she was planning to turn on him at the time. (Doesn’t she look a little like it?)
After all, losing a Congressional seat for a “Republican” isn’t always the worst thing that may happen. She was found to be the kind of establishment anti-Trump RINO that hangs out with Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, and Mitt Romney, years later.
According to The Washington Examiner:
Comstock told an NYU sponsored Zoom conference titled “The GOP After Trump” on July 6th that former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, Ivanka Trump, and Donald Trump, Jr. should be subpoenaed by Congress “to determine if they had any involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.”
She told the NYU Zoom Conference, “You’re going to have lots of people who are going to keep their communications with Trump Jr. or with Ivanka.”
Comstock said, “If you go subpoena those people individually, say subpoena Mark Meadows for all the contact that he had with anybody having anything to do with this rally on Jan. 6, how did that come about, all those documents will be very easy to get, and you should subpoena those individuals personally because they will not have executive privilege over any documents they took home and are sitting in their basement or their garage.”
And now Ivanka and Don Jr. are targeted by a vengeful RINO.
The fact that after abandoning conservative Republicans in favor of cozying up to moderates and Democrats in her district, they abandoned her, and Comstock is clearly still irritated by that.
And in a desperate bid to stay relevant, Comstock is now in a desperate attempt, speculating that Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump, who served as ADVISORY members of the Trump administration, may have critical documents “sitting in their basement or garage.”
Well, you know the government doesn’t have a chain of custody for important documents, right? Could you fathom the kind of security danger that would pose? Since departing the White House, even Chief of Staff Mark Meadows is unlikely to have any classified materials in his possession.
The next line of Comstock’s reasoning is so obviously and irredeemably incorrect that it almost doesn’t deserve to be quoted, but here it is:
“There’s so many things that haven’t been looked at at all — basically the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, the White House. Nothing has been looked out from Ja,n. 6 about what they did that day, how that rally came about, all of the people who funded the rally, how people like the Proud Boys and these, you know, Three Percenters, these different groups, the white nationalist groups, that were there”
Wait, what? “Nothing has been looked at from Jan 6th?!”
Yes, “nothing has been looked at from January 6th,” according to Fmr. Rep. Comstock, except for the complete second impeachment process against President Trump, right? When every Democrat in Congress, as well as the mainstream media, fought tooth and nail to make the allegation of “incitement to insurgency” They diligently reviewed hundreds of hours of footage and audio and came up with NOTHING? Was she in a coma from the end of January to the beginning of February? Many of us who had to cover it wish we could have been there.
During the Clinton investigation to reach these conclusions, the former Congresswoman is relying heavily on her expertise, however, there’s a problem: she’s talking about an inquiry that happened more than two decades ago. She proposes, “I don’t understand why they haven’t subpoenaed things already because there’s existing committees that could have subpoenaed things. And I did investigations in the 90s of the Clinton administration, and one of the things that we did that proved to be very effective is that people who had already left the White House — we knew that the chances were they’d take documents with them, I think that is going to be very likely in the case of the Trump people because they’re all afraid of each other. They’re all afraid that they’re going to be the scapegoat, but they’re going to be blamed for things.”
People don’t remove “papers” when they leave, it’s always what’s found on a laptop or smartphone, and the chances of discovering a “smoking gun” rather than a deleted device are slim, as the Hillary Clinton investigation demonstrated, which is why the Hunter Biden laptop was such an outlier. Barbara Comstock has done nothing but embarrass herself in front of the nation, demonstrating how vindictive, petty, and terribly out of touch she has become.
