EXCLUSIVE PART 1 - JAMES COMER ON BIDEN CORRUPTION | Verdict Ep.191

Published | Video Starts at 16:30

It's, you know, good to be a Biden. And look, at what point does a loan become income? You know, I don't know. That's a question for the IR's. Look, If the intent is to defraud the IR's, if it is a fraudulent vehicle, the IR's can bring it for tax fraud. You can't characterize something as a loan that is not, in fact, a loan that doesn't intend to be paid back. And I mean that on the face of it, I gotta tell you, I'd be ready to prosecute right now. Of course, you know, I don't work at the Biden Justice Department. (16:30–16:42)
