Ocasio-Cortez replied, “What is the crime? It’s a category of crimes that you’re then charged under. You have charges. A long, hundreds list of charges. You have charges. Sir, please name.”
After Bobulinski couldn’t title an precise crime that he witnessed President Biden commit, Ocasio-Cortez continued, “What we are seeing here today is a continuation of the 15-month saga of the Republican majority lost in the desert. Impeachment 101. The majority party, or whomever is raising impeachment, must accuse the president of a high crime, a specific high crime or misdemeanor.”

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez identified that there isn’t a excessive crime or misdemeanor listed within the impeachment investigation decision.
Home Republicans haven’t any excessive crime or misdemeanor towards Joe Biden. The Home Oversight Committee majority and their star witness can’t title something that President Biden has carried out that’s an impeachable offense.
The Republican majority on the committee speaks in obscure generalities and conspiracies, however what they don’t have is a particular impeachable act of presidential misconduct or any proof of an impeachable offense.
The Republicans on the Home Oversight Committee are stumbling round at the hours of darkness, and hoping that if they are saying sufficient ominous sounding issues with out presenting any proof, they may be capable to trick the nation into falling for an empty impeachment.
The GOP scheme didn’t work yesterday. It hasn’t labored for the earlier 15 months, and it gained’t work for so long as they proceed to attempt to fool the country into falling for a bogus impeachment.
