Republicans Say Biden Should Be Impeached In Spite Of Finding No Crimes In Inquiry

House Republicans released their long-delayed impeachment inquiry report on Monday (to coincide with the start of the Democratic Convention) and they clearly admit that the President did not commit any crimes. HOWEVER, they are still recommending impeachment because they claim that the family traded on their name to get business deals (which they even admit isn’t technically a crime.) Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses the hypocrisy of this entire charade.

You know, on Monday, uh, after I had recorded, uh, my segments for the day, news broke that Republicans have finally published the results of their impeachment inquiry. And as Republicans were pushing this impeachment inquiry report, you know, the day that the Democratic National Convention launched it showed that, yeah, we, uh, we couldn't pin any actual crimes on President Biden, but, but we still think he should be impeached. And the reason I find this hilarious, of course, is because on Monday, uh, on the YouTube channel, I did a segment talking about Republicans launching an investigation into Tim Walls. And I mentioned in that segment, again, recorded, like right before they released the report. I said, where the hell are they with the impeachment inquiry? Right? That kind of went away. And then they released the report. And you know, I kinda looked a little silly until you actually read the report and realize, yep, they got nothing.

They spent a year, almost a full year on this impeachment inquiry, and they came up with nothing, but they still think he should be impeached. They admitted they didn't have any evidence of crimes like that is clear as day. They did not say we found a crime. Instead, what they accused President Biden of is letting his family members trade on his name to secure business deals. You know, basically they're saying, Hey, the Biden family did what the Trump family does every day of the week, and for that, Biden should apparently be impeached. Now, here is a statement that the, uh, house committees, the oversight judiciary and ways and means committee released along with the report. They said the totality of the corrupt conduct uncovered by the committee is egregious. The remedy for a president's flagrant abuse of office is clear impeachment by the House of Representatives and removal by the Senate.

Problem is you gotta have high crimes and or misdemeanors, and you have none of that as you admit in your actual report. And in fact, it gets even better, folks, it's not just that they didn't find a crime, it's the fact that the few things they do accuse him of, you know, letting the family members trade on his name, blah, blah, blah. It all happened when he wasn't president. It was when he was former Vice President Joseph r Biden. In other words, private citizen Joe, private citizen Joe's son, hunter, according to this report, would use his dad's name and secure business deals. Now, you may not like that, it may not be ethical, but it is not illegal. Like

100% not illegal. So even the things they're accusing him of that they wanna impeach him for one, you can't impeach him for it. Two, it it, it happened when he was a private citizen. Like what the hell are y'all even talking about? They also point out, well, ho hold the phone guys. Uh, there was one point in 2018 when he was a private citizen that he got a $200,000 payment from his brother. Well, okay then that, I guess what seals the deal, these people are insane. These republicans in the House of Representatives have wasted a full year and a half because they've been investigating the Biden family since they got into power. Uh, and they got nothing. They have absolutely nothing. These people are insane. They abuse their power to try to take down Joe Biden. And now they're like, we still wanna impeach him.
