HAHAHAHAHA After years of beclowning themselves with stupid hearings that demonstrate nothing they have now released an almost 300 page report claiming that Joe Biden and his family enriched themselves due to his position as Vice President.
I haven't read the report but apparently it claims that the Bidens received $27 million from foreign governments. I don't believe that but even if it *were* true. . . how much money did Trump receive in emoluments and grifting and whatever else while he was president? Didn't Jared receive a $2 billion investment from Saudi Arabia?
I don't expect this to go anywhere even with a GOP-led House of Representatives. Many of those members have publicly said that they haven't seen anything impeachment-worthy. Even if they did vote to impeach it would go nowhere in the Senate.
This is Gym Jordan and James Comer's last chance to try to save face and look productive. It is laughable.

I wish both parties used their energy in proposing good things for the country and for the world.

“Look productive”? To quote Stevie Wonder, they haven’t done nothin’! (Which, BTW, he wrote about Richard Nixon…)

@NJChicaa That's not the point. They were bogus impeachments. They wasted American's time and money chasing things that were not even impeachable. As for impeachment, I think it should always be a last resort. And should ONLY be pursued if you have a strong sense you can get a conviction. So far, in the history impeachments, NO ONE has ever been convicted and removed from office. The only one who WOULD have been would have been Nixon. But he resigned before he could be convicted and physically removed from office.
Essentially, the Democrats ABUSED the impeachment process and ought to forever be held to account for that.

@porwest of course I disagree with you. I didn't much get the first Trump impeachment until I watched the hearings. I just didn't know much about it. Of course he should have been impeached for the January 6 insurrection attempt.
Hilarious and pathetic that the House GOP teams never came up with anything "impeachable". They had to put something out now that Biden is off the ticket but the whole thing has been a clown show. Even GOP commentators admit that. Republicans in Congress say that. They couldn't even get a trial or whatever it is called b/c they had nothing.
