Former President Donald Trump has been romping his way to victory in primary after primary and looks all but guaranteed to win the nomination for the 2024 election — but that doesn't actually mean his grip on voters is strong, argued conservative analyst Matt Lewis.

'More than stupidity': Analyst claims Comer was willing to use Russian lies against Biden

House Oversight Chair James Comer's seeming lack of embarrassment after his key witness in the drive to impeach President Joe Biden turned out to be a now-accused liar who the Department of Justice claims was a pipeline for Russian disinformation suggests he knew what he was doing, an analyst wrote Thursday.

With Kentucky Republican Comer joining Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) in an attempt to blow off concerns that they had been duped — and argue they still have a strong case against Biden — fellow lawmaker Rep Dan Goldman (D-NY) suggested the two are more than willing to use Russian propaganda as a political tool in their war with Democrats.

Named and Shamed: These Republicans preached Biden bribery claims 'like gospel'

After ex-FBI informant Alexander Smirnov was indicted on charges that he lied about President Joe Biden accepting a $5 million bribe, reporter Aaron Blake decided to round up the names of Republicans who parroted his now in-question claims.

Smirnov's accusations — that both the president and his son Hunter Biden accepted $5 million bribes — were the focal point of the GOP's impeachment inquiry into Biden. As the Washington Post report points out, Ohio GOP Rep. Jim Jordan last month called the claims “the most corroborating evidence we have" and Republicans pushed them as if they were fact.
