Two can play this game:
The other day, Keith Olbermann‘s podcast brought to my attention that this guy from Kentucky who is going to be doing all these “investigations“ has a little problem of his own as evidenced in the link below. Apparently, this was a big deal in Kentucky when he was running as a candidate but of course it is “beneath us Democrats to bring this stuff up”, or at least it used to be. This scandal should be spread far and wide, and should eclipse his erstwhile investigation of all things Biden. Oh and according to the article, her mother was called and was told that her daughter would be killed. Details ….right?
Viral….this needs to go viral.

College girlfriend says James Comer abused her
Joseph Gerth@Joe_Gerth
A woman who dated gubernatorial candidate James Comer while the two were in college said in a letter to The Courier-Journal on Monday that he was physically and mentally abusive to her during what she said was a two-year relationship.
"Did Jamie Comer ever hit me? Yes," wrote Marilyn Thomas, who attended Western Kentucky University with Comer in the early 1990s.
Comer's lawyer, Dick Plymale, of Lexington, said in an interview that Comer "profusely denies" all the allegations in the letter and promised a "devastating lawsuit" against the newspaper if it published the story.

Keith Olbermann? :whatever:

A claim of some sexual/domestic crime decades ago against an R/conservative? Where have I heard this shtick before? Got evidence?
-
Trying to get ahead of the investigation into the Bidens, are we?
“Two can play this game”, you say? As if the dems haven’t been playing it up to this point.

Two DUmass DUmmys can't even play Peek-A-Boo, much less paddy cake.

It's going to be fun when Elon releases Twitter's internal documents about how they squashed the Biden laptop story.

Looks like this stunt may have helped defeat Comer in KY's 2015 gubernatorial primary (by 83 votes), he was nevertheless elected to the House in 2016. From https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/10/after-near-miss-in-kentucky-governors-race-james-comer-tries-a-congressional-comeback/448026/
Two weeks before the gubernatorial primary, Comer’s college girlfriend told the Louisville Courier-Journal that he had physically abused her. The allegations, helped along by a rival campaign, took over the last days of the primary campaign and likely bumped Comer to that narrow loss, even as his campaign aired TV ads in which the candidate's wife touted his character and values.
But Comer said he doesn’t believe that line of attack will have the same impact in the GOP primary for Whitfield’s rural district.
“I don't think anyone can ever pull a stunt like that again,” Comer said. “One candidate used it as an issue—[Hal] Heiner—and he dropped like a lead balloon. One candidate defended me in the primary and shot up, and that was [Matt] Bevin,” who won the nomination.
“That was a turning point for all three campaigns,” Comer said. “… We were prepared for [negative ads]. We were not prepared for that Courier-Journal story and those allegations.”
So the accusation was the primary season equivalent of an October Surprise.
The R opponent who embraced the claim plunged, i.e. it seems that more KY voters rejected the claim than bought it.
And, as often happens with October Surprise slanderous accusations, it disappeared, not even being recycled for the 2016 election.
