Home Republicans would not have any excessive crimes or misdemeanors towards Joe Biden. Nearly all of the Home Oversight Committee and their star witnesses can’t level to something President Biden has executed that’s an impeachable offense.
The Republican majority on the committee speaks in obscure generalities and conspiracies, however they haven’t any proof of a particular impeachable act of presidential misconduct or an impeachable crime.
Republicans on the Home Oversight Committee are poking round in the dead of night, hoping that if they are saying sufficient ominous-sounding issues with out presenting any proof, they'll be capable to lure the nation into an empty impeachment entice.
The GOP plan didn't work yesterday. It has not been working for the final 15 months, and it’ll not work so long as they preserve making an attempt to entice the nation with faux impeachment.
