Reps. Raskin and Comer Get into a Shouting Match over Trump, Biden and Russia: ‘You Need a Therapy!’

EXCERPT:

RASKIN: “If I wonder if you're going to help us figure out where we've come as a committee, Professor Snyder. About a year ago, our GOP colleagues began heralding an FBI form FD-1023 that recorded allegations that President Biden acted corruptly in Ukraine, and tried to promote these as credible allegations. It turned out that these were lies and the person who was promoting them has been -- has been indicted for lying to the FBI and constructing a false record. It turns out that he was up to his neck in connections to Russian foreign agents. And yet, our colleagues at various points called this a smoking gun, said it showed proof that the Biden's took bribes and so on. Chairman Jason Smith, for example, said this was a smoking gun. And it was the definitive proof that the Bidens took bribes. It's obviously been dropped. And yet, this was the genesis of our investigation. How do we --”
COMER: “That's -- that's just simply not true, but go on finish your story.”
RASKIN: “I'll yield to the chairman. If you want take some time.”
COMER: “No, no, no. No. No.”
RASKIN: “Well, you can use your time --”
COMER: “Are you saying the bank statements are Russian disinformation that the Biden's took $9,000 from China? Tony Bobulinski said -- [crosstalk]”
RASKIN: “Oh, I agree you've been talking about payments for more than a year but they don't show anything other than there was no crime. What did you bank statement show?”
COMER: “So it's OK -- it's OK for -- as Tony Bobulinski said for China to bribe Joe Biden's family with $9 million?”
RASKIN: “But that's the lie that's been discredited. I mean, where's your impeachment investigation? If -- if Joe Biden took a $9 million bribe from China, why aren't you impeaching him for that?”
COMER: “Well, who says we're not?”
RASKIN: “Well, I can -- I can invite Mr. Moskowitz to come back in. Do you want to move for impeachment today? Because I thought that that was your main agenda item. You said it was the paramount priority of the committee.”
COMER: “No, this is a hearing on China. And you all have an obsession with Russia and Trump. It's disturbing. [crosstalk]”
RASKIN: “We can talk about China and Trump or Russia and Trump. He's got --”
COMER: “You need therapy. You all need -- you need a therapy, Mr. Raskin.”
