When requested about their case for impeachment of President Joe Biden, Republicans supplied up the canine ate my homework, third grade excuse of: “There’s stuff there.”
Home Republicans Have No Biden Impeachment Proof, However They Have ‘Stuff’
That deep response was supplied up by Republican Consultant Paul Gosar after he lectured “each side” on conflating inquiry with impeachment after admitting that their witnesses all mentioned no proof exists, however he claims all of them mentioned there existed the “potential” for one thing to be there.
When requested to share what that “stuff” is, Gosar went on a weird “phrase salad” journey:
GOSAR: An inquiry is a search
RASKIN: And what’s been discovered?
GOSAR: There’s stuff there
RASKIN: Are you able to share it with us?

He misplaced me, however that’s the goal, clearly. An inquiry shouldn’t be one thing you maintain UNTIL you discover proof. That isn’t how justice works, and it’s not the job of the U.S. Home of Representatives to wield its essential oversight energy with the intention to assist their social gathering’s 2024 entrance runner towards the present President.
Different methods they might be spending this time and your assets could be, simply off the highest of my head, bringing Boeing in for hearings on the security of their plane and the potential implications of their cost-cutting measures, together with undermining unions and subsequently the significance of expert specialists, in an effort to prioritize earnings.
The underside line is Republicans are holding these hearings to soiled President Joe Biden for the upcoming election. They aren’t within the info, so it’s effective for them that the info don’t corroborate their fan fic concerning the President or his son.
Does it matter if it’s known as an inquiry or an impeachment when they’re promoting it to their base as impeachment? Do phrases matter when info don’t? What does gaslighting seem like, Siri?
Republicans have introduced zero proof of wrongdoing by President Biden. Zero. Actually zero. But right here they’re, losing taxpayer cash to go after his personal citizen son in hopes of catching one thing they will stick on Joe Biden for his or her base, who aren’t recognized for his or her capability to discern truth from fiction.
Republicans maintain saying that if Donald Trump is held accountable to the regulation, that’s horrible as a result of it means it may occur to anybody. They recommend that if Trump is held accountable, that’s proof of the federal government being weaponized towards him, though the 91 felony counts from 4 totally different instances are being prosecuted in numerous courtrooms across the nation.
Republicans inform these flat-out lies about Donald Trump being held accountable to the regulation as being nothing however a witch hunt once we all noticed what he did on January sixth, and everyone knows about his makes an attempt to overthrow the election he misplaced as they weaponize.
They inform these lies whereas they’re weaponizing the U.S. Home towards a personal citizen who’s already being compelled to take care of the DOJ being more durable on him than they might be on anybody else for a similar prices – prices round weapons and taxes, the deregulation and killing of oversight of that are each Republican causes.
Think about a Democratic-led U.S. Home of Representatives hauling considered one of Trump’s grownup kids who didn’t work within the White Home or on his marketing campaign into yet one more listening to to attempt to discover some grime on Donald Trump.
To borrow Republicans’ phrase, in the event that they do it to Hunter they will do it to you. There’s “stuff” there.
