Home Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer acknowledged that impeachment was not the perfect path ahead and instructed a DOJ legal referral as an alternative.
“I wish to maintain accountability, that's what we've all the time mentioned,” Comer mentioned on Newsmax. We mentioned after we began the investigation, we wished to offer the reality to the American individuals after which present actual accountability. So what does actual accountability appear to be? Does this sound just like the Home impeaching Joe Biden after which the Senate taking it up like they're going to do with the Merrick Garland impeachment, or does it imply offering precise legal referrals to the Justice Division? I feel the latter. I’ll vote to question Joe Biden proper now. The aim of the impeachment investigation was to offer us with extra instruments in order that we might collect extra data to have the ability to win in court docket when the Bidens challenged our lawful subpoenas. We now have executed all that.”

Comer was speaking concerning the mayor's impeachment. Merrick Garland has not been impeached. The response from the chairman of the Home Oversight Committee was an acknowledgment that Biden impeachment is useless. There’ll by no means be an impeachment vote or formal articles of impeachment.
President Biden's investigation was a stunt that largely failed.
James Comer and Jim Jordan thought they might deceive and idiot America into shopping for Biden impeachment.
Comer's large downside is that Donald Trump is demanding the impeachment of President Biden. Will probably be arduous for Hunter Biden to promote Trump on legal referrals to the DOJ.
The Biden investigation has been an absurd abuse of Congress's investigative authority.
Impeachment is over, and Chair Comer is in search of a manner out.
