With all eyes on Vice President Kamala Harris’ surging marketing campaign and this week’s Democratic Nationwide Conference, Republicans try to seize headlines Monday by releasing the report of their baseless, purely political impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden.
To make certain, they’re getting these headlines. For instance, in The New York Instances: Home G.O.P. Makes Impeachment Case Towards Biden With out Proof of Crime.
And from there, it solely will get worse for them.
With President Joe Biden leaving workplace in January, Home Republicans’ inquiry may be very unlikely to maneuver ahead, and as additional proof that it was all politics all alongside, the Oversight, Judiciary, and Methods and Means committees launched all 291 pages of this bullshit report on the primary day of the Democratic Nationwide Conference.
It’s been clear for months that the inquiry’s important drivers—Oversight Chair James Comer and Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan—had nothing. In reality, within the report, Comer and Jordan mainly admit as a lot whereas saying it feels like there must be one thing.
“An abuse of power may also be present even if, as some claim, the Biden family was only selling the ‘illusion’ of influence and access,” the report says, and provides, “It is not necessary for the House of Representatives to show that the dealings involved a quid pro quo to rise to the level of an impeachable offense.”
In different phrases, Home Republicans don’t have any proof, however they don’t want no stinking proof.
Besides, in fact, they do. They should persuade a majority of the Home to question Biden and a majority of the Senate to convict him. And it’s been clear for months that they haven’t even been in a position to persuade a majority of Home Republicans to do it.
Home Speaker Mike Johnson appears to know the votes aren’t there, and that the few weeks that Congress will probably be in session earlier than the election will probably be all about passing a short-term authorities funding invoice, which is going to be an enormous battle. Home Republicans may come again after the election and take a look at it, however that may actually put the “lame” in “lame-duck session.”
On Monday, the White Home gave the report the ridicule it deserves.
“After wasting nearly two years and millions of taxpayer dollars, House Republicans have finally given up on their wild goose chase,” mentioned Sharon Yang, a White Home spokesperson. “This failed stunt will only be remembered for how it became an embarrassment that their own members distanced themselves from as they only managed to turn up evidence that refuted their false and baseless conspiracy theories.”
“The American people deserve more from House Republicans, and perhaps now they will finally join President Biden in focusing on the real issues that American families actually care about,” Yang added.
Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland joined in, saying, “Their compulsive flailing about has not only proven, once more, that President Biden committed no wrongdoing, much less an impeachable crime, but has paradoxically vindicated Biden’s essential honor and decency.”
Thus it seems that the ridiculous, monthslong probe into the supposed “Biden crime family” limps to an in depth. To not fear, Comer has already discovered his subsequent goose chases: going after Harris over the border and her working mate, Tim Walz, “a longstanding and cozy relationship with China.”
