"Impeachment has turned into a political weapon rather than a check on abuse of power. Perhaps Congress needs to ask itself what the point of impeachment really is, constitutionally rather than politically, and recalculate its own actions in light of a new definition."
"Barn door, officially closed. The colt bolted on July 21, when Joe Biden's withdrawal from the presidential election took all of the steam out of an impeachment bid that had already lost most of it over the past year.
"The combined report from three House committees accused Biden of aiding the corrupt activities of Hunter Biden and other family members as Vice President. It didn't add much new evidence to the claims that the committees hadn't already released during their investigations:
"The executive summary lays out the case in broad terms: . . .
First and foremost, overwhelming evidence demonstrates that President Biden participated in a conspiracy to monetize his office of public trust to enrich his family. Among other aspects of this conspiracy, the Biden family and their business associates received tens of millions of dollars from foreign interests by leading those interests to believe that such payments would provide them access to and influence with President Biden. As Vice President, President Biden actively participated in this conspiracy by, among other things, attending dinners with his family’s foreign business partners and speaking to them by phone, often when being placed on speakerphone by Hunter Biden. For example, in 2014, Vice President Biden attended a dinner for Hunter Biden with Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina. Following the dinner, Baturina wired $3.5 million to Rosemont Seneca Thornton, a firm associated with Hunter Biden. Then, months later, as Hunter Biden and his business associates continued to solicit more money from Baturina, Vice President Biden participated in a phone call with Baturina and Hunter Biden where Vice President Biden told Baturina, “you be good to my boy.” Moreover, President Biden knowingly participated in this conspiracy. Based on the totality of the evidence, it is inconceivable that President Biden did not understand that he was taking part in an effort to enrich his family by abusing his office of public trust.
The evidence also establishes that the Biden family went to great lengths to conceal this conspiracy. Foreign money was transmitted to the Biden family through complicated financial transactions. The Biden family laundered funds through intermediate entities and broke up large transactions into numerous smaller transactions. Substantial efforts were also made to hide President Biden’s involvement in his family’s business activities.
The above is just an excerpt; read the full article here.
“Our impeachment inquiry shows conclusively that Joe Biden abused his public office for the private financial benefit of the Biden family and Biden business associates. "As President Joe Biden prepares to deliver his swan song at the Democratic National Convention Monday evening — no doubt to glowing accolades and sentimental expressions of admiration and gratitude for his years of service — the House Judiciary Committee has released a damning report detailing the findings of the committee (along with the Oversight Committee and Ways and Means Committee) in conjunction with the ongoing impeachment inquiry into the president." . . .
