'Somebody send out an Amber Alert': House Republican mocked over 'missing' Hunter Biden 'whistleblower'
United States Representative and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Kentucky) revealed to Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday that a purported "whistleblower" whom congressional Republicans believe bore witness to evidence that crimes were committed by President Joe Biden and his family has apparently vanished without a trace.
Comer's appearance closes out a week full of damaging news for right-wing lawmakers who insist that the Bidens are corrupt, not the least of which was a New York Times report published on Thursday explaining that the GOP "had yet to uncover incriminating material about him, despite their frequent insinuations that he and his family have been involved in criminal conduct and corruption."
That same day, Comer faced a challenge from Bartiromo over his caucus' failure — if not outright refusal — to show the public the supposed proof that they claim to have that implicates the Bidens in various clandestine schemes.

Nonetheless, Bartiromo fully bought into Comer's latest story.
"You have spoken with whistleblowers. You also spoke with an informant who gave you all of this information. Where is that informant today? Where are these whistleblowers?" she asked Comer.
"Well, unfortunately, we can't track down the informant. We're hopeful that the informant is still there. The whistleblower knows the informant. The whistleblower is very credible," Comer replied.
"Hold on a second, Congressman. Did you just say that the whistleblower or the informant is now missing?" Bartiromo gasped.

"Well, we, we're hopeful that we could find the informant. Now remember, these informants are, are kind of, in the spy business," Comer continued. "They don't make a habit of being seen a lot."
Comer added that "the nine of the ten people that we've identified that have very good knowledge with respect to the Bidens, they're one of three things, Maria. They're either currently in court, they're currently in jail, or they're currently missing."
Bartiromo replied that Comer's account was "stunning — a stunning breaking news story this morning that some of these people now may be missing. Mr. Chairman, we're certainly going to be covering and reporting your findings. Thank you."
The reactions on social media were predictably poignant.
"Somebody send out an Amber Alert," tweeted Aaron Rupar of Vox. "Maria Bartiromo will believe anything a Republican tells her."
MeidasTouch: "So weird how this keeps happening!"
Four Seasons Total Landscaping: "Wait ... So they've moved on from their prior house report, which showed no criminal activity, and they're now onto ANOTHER mysterious document that will incriminate Biden now???? And of course...we can't see the documents."
Jay Arnold: "I am not the whistleblower."
Dad Jokes Panda: "Maria: unbelievable, also on a side note my dog ate my kids' homework every day last week... Insanity!"
Art Martin: "There is a new MAGA board game called 'Where in the world is Comer's informant.'"
Animal Lover: "Poor Republicans. Keep losing all their imaginary friends."
