The nearly 300-page report is a summary of the investigation conducted by the House Oversight, Judiciary and Ways and Means committees over the past year and a half, nearly all of which has already been made public.

It argues that Biden enriched himself through his family’s business ventures and concealed his mishandling of classified information in office, the subject of the investigation conducted by special counsel Robert Hur, who declined to press charges this year.

In addition, the committees say that the Justice Department mishandled its investigation into his son Hunter Biden’s tax problems and that the White House has withheld key documents and witnesses from the impeachment investigation.

The investigators put the total at $27 million, according to the bank records they received. But the investigators failed to turn up evidence that Biden himself received money from those companies or participated in the foreign business deals beyond the occasions when Hunter Biden called him on speakerphone to exchange pleasantries while in the company of foreign business associates or when he saw them at his son’s birthday dinner.

Someone remind me… didn’t Joe Biden drop out of the race? Wouldn’t that mean that this transparent political hit job was a colossal waste of time on the part of the Republicans?

    Wouldn’t that mean that this transparent political hit job was a colossal waste of time on the part of the Republicans?

    Not really. Their whole goal is to make sure they can say that Biden is impeached at least as many times as Trump even though they know that they’ll never get a conviction in the senate. The whole investigation is not in the interest of justice or good governing. It’s pure politics. When you point out that it’s all just for show, they’ll turn around and say that the Trump impeachments were the ones that were all for show. And their base, the only one’s they care about, will believe it.

    Here’s the kicker. The reason they want to be able to say that is because they are trying to 100% equate Harris with Biden. Watch the first few seconds here (youtube) where Vance says, “It’s hard to believe just how bad the Kamala Harris administration has been…” There hasn’t been a Kamala Harris administration. It’s been the Biden administration, obviously, and Sofa King knows it. This is not a mistake on his part. This is the new play, everything Biden has done, they will try to lay at Harris’ feet including Biden’s impeachment.
