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 “both sides” on conflating inquiry with impeachment after admitting that their witnesses all stated no proof exists, however he claims all of them stated there existed the “potential” for one thing to be there.
When requested to share what that “stuff” is, Gosar went on a weird “word 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 necessary oversight energy with a view to assist their get together’s 2024 entrance runner in opposition to the present President.
Different methods they could possibly be spending this time and your assets can be, simply off the highest of my head, bringing Boeing in for hearings on the protection 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 income.
The underside line is Republicans are holding these hearings to soiled President Joe Biden for the upcoming election. They aren’t interested in the facts, so it’s positive for them that the facts don’t corroborate their fan fic in regards to 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 details don’t? What does gaslighting appear like, Siri?
Republicans have introduced zero evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden. Zero. Actually zero. But right here they’re, losing taxpayer cash to go after his non-public citizen son in hopes of catching one thing they’ll stick on Joe Biden for his or her base, who aren’t recognized for his or her skill to discern reality from fiction.
Republicans preserve saying that if Donald Trump is held accountable to the legislation, that’s horrible as a result of it means it may occur to anybody. They counsel that if Trump is held accountable, that’s proof of the federal government being weaponized in opposition to him, regardless that the 91 felony counts from 4 totally different instances are being prosecuted in several courtrooms across the nation.
Republicans inform these flat-out lies about Donald Trump being held accountable to the legislation as being nothing however a witch hunt after 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. House in opposition to a personal citizen who’s already being compelled to cope with the DOJ being more durable on him than they’d be on anybody else for a similar costs – costs 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 dust on Donald Trump.
To borrow Republicans’ phrase, in the event that they do it to Hunter they’ll do it to you. There’s “stuff” there.
