Some of the Republican-invited witnesses at the GOP’s first impeachment inquiry hearing cast doubt on whether there was enough evidence to support an impeachment of President Biden. Jonathan Turley…
I’m gonna go with the unmentioned third option, which is that this was all just a petty charade from the start. They knew there was nothing impeachable here, but they’re doing the bare minimum just to keep up appearances and rile up their base with the rallying cry of impeachment. They have no real intention of impeaching Biden, they just want their supporters to think they do.
This, so much this. Everything right niw, the Biden impeachment, the Trum court processes, the whole Speaker thing…
They want to turn the country into a circus and mock and damage the institutions of democracy and law as much as possible while rallying up their base. They hope to be able to destroy the institutions eventually and replace them with an autocracy.
Well, that too. They have a few tiny shreds of things which, if taken out of context and squinted at just right while ignoring all logic, might make conspiracy theorists declare a link, but even Republicans are admitting that this is far from what is needed to impeach.
Impeachment is saying and “proving” someone is guilty of a thing.
The problem is, it’s entirely separate from the consequences… You can be impeached and also suffer nothing except for the knowledge that you are publicly guilty of what you did.

It’s more like an indictment of sorts. An investigation was done and it seems that a crime has been committed. It begins a trial in the Senate that determines whether it warrants punishment.

But also Comer is a colossal moron.
Like I think he might actually give Boebert a run for lowest IQ.

No one really understands (or cares) what impeachment means, myself included.
There was a big noise about it for Trump, and he was somehow tarnished by it but ultimately nothing happened.
They can manufacture the same stink on biden without actually impeaching him.
