‘Spectacular Failure’: Jamie Raskin Flames GOP’s Biden Impeachment Probe in Scorching Hearing Opener
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) went off on Republicans during an impeachment hearing by claiming the inquiry is a “spectacular failure” that is “crashing to an end.”
Republicans in the House on Wednesday are seeking to push the impeachment probe against President Joe Biden forward by interviewing two former associates of his son, Hunter Biden. Republicans lawmakers claim the president profited from his family’s foreign business dealings as vice president under former President Barack Obama.
However, the inquiry has come to a halt recently as Republicans have yet to produce evidence showing Biden personally benefitted from the business decision of his family members. The White House has dismissed the probe as baseless and politically motivated.
Raskin’s took aim at Republicans during his opening remarks, claiming the inquiry is without merit and will soon come “crashing to an end.”
With any luck, today marks the end of perhaps the most spectacular failure in the history of congressional investigations. The effort to find a high crime or misdemeanor committed by Joe Biden, and then to impeach him for it. In prior hilarious episodes of this long running madcap series, America got to see the following one nearly 20 fact witnesses who could not identify a single act of wrongdoing by President Biden, much less a high crime and misdemeanor, and who overwhelmingly testified that Biden was not involved in any of his family’s business adventures. Two three expert witnesses called by the majority itself, who said nothing that they had seen in the tens of thousands of pages of documents, adduced by the majority, even remotely approached the level of a high crime and misdemeanor. Bank records, which show exactly what all the witnesses told us, that Joe Biden was not involved in his family members businesses repeated voyeuristic displays of pornographic images by the majority, completely irrelevant to any conceivable legislative or investigative purpose.
A star witness, Gal Luft, who turned out to be a Chinese agent and an illegal arms trafficker on the run from American Justice, and the key piece of evidence which launched the entire zany goose chase and. 1023 form, in which the FBI duly recorded a completely fictional tip about a $5 million bribe to Vice President Biden peddled by Alex Smirnoff, who has been criminally indicted by a Trump appointed U.S. attorney, special Counsel David Weiss, for felony counts of systematically lying to the FBI in constructing a false record about Joe Biden and now sits in jail in California as a flight risk.
While the world studies his long standing and extensive ties to Russian intelligence. Today, the good chairman and his ace MAGA detectives have finally jumped the shark. The comedy of errors comes crashing to an end as House Republicans and more than a dozen Biden districts beg for mercy, and the committee throws a flabby Hail Mary pass three weeks after the Super Bowl is over.
