'No Question This Is Dead’: Biden Impeachment Probe Collapses
'No Question This Is Dead’: Biden Impeachment Probe Collapses
The latest embarrassing setback for the House impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden is drawing predictions that it will never go to a vote
House Republicans reached a critical point this week in their bid to impeach Joe Biden: a closed-door interview with the President’s younger brother James. But the coveted testimony was dramatically overshadowed by another development: The Justice Department indicting one of the impeachment inquiry’s lead informants for lying to the FBI about the Biden family with dirt from Russian intelligence.
The revelation was the latest in a series of embarrassing setbacks for the House GOP’s impeachment effort. In July, one of its whistleblowers was arrested for acting as a Chinese agent. In August, Hunter Biden’s longtime associate Devon Archer—who House Oversight Chair James Comer said could become a “hero” of the probe—testified that President Biden had no involvement in his son’s business dealings. At the inquiry’s first public hearing in September, Comer’s star witness, conservative lawyer Jonathan Turley, said there wasn’t enough evidence to impeach Biden. And on Tuesday, federal prosecutors claimed that FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, who made false bribery allegations against President Biden and his son Hunter, had “extensive and extremely recent contacts” with the Kremlin.
I hate when articles headline with quotes like this. Unless these words are said by Jim Jordan or James Comer then it's literally not true. They're just gonna keep looking for evidence until they find something that'll stick. They're desperate to (A) make Trump's 2 impeachments seem like no big deal and (B) degrade Biden's reputation in the exact same way they did Hillary's.
The actual quote is from a Democrat, just FYI. That's how you know it's complete bullshit.
Experts say, …
until they find something that'll stick
Or die trying.
How much of our tax dollars did they waste on this?
From their perspective, the money was well spent - they got to use public funds to dishonestly slander and smear their political opponents. Now that it's fallen apart so catastrophically that people are being charged for their bullshit, they get to point to a deep-state conspiracy. They literally couldn't lose.
Just as much as they always waste, which is 100% of tax dollars that republicans are paid.
Can something never having gained substance or volume"collapse"?
It had substance... Just in the form of dead trees in large collated stacks held together with the narrative equivalent of chewing gum. The soap bubble veneer encapsulating nothing but hot air
It doesn't matter. The Republicans have the conspiracy theorists in their pocket who have been so scepticism poisoned that they basically believe what they believe process or evidence be damned but are very good at creating red string webs based on the unproven negative space of the unproven but not impossible.
Yeah, since it is usually measured on effort alone.
So one key witness was an FBI agent indicted by the DoJ for being a russian shill, and the other key witness is an official agent of China? Seems legit.
Thanks for taking the bullet for the team by reading it and calling out their BS clickbait title. They won’t get my click.
Nobody wants the House to move on Impeachment more than the Biden admin. The Republicans would be fools to put this obvious bullshit in the news-cycle for weeks in an election year. The only witness who doesn't contradict their narrative is a Russian agent.
Some in the House will push for it anyway. The crazies who don't have to worry about getting re-elected in their gerrymandered districts, and don't care about being in the majority. All they care about is re-tweets and bending a knee to the Donald. Impeachment is retribution and retribution is life.
Thing based on fake news and gop bad faith turned fraud collapses?
Yeah and somebody's Heine is crowding my ice box.
Say it ain't so...
Wait. You have human body parts in your freezer?
