Impeachment? Ignore!

On the first day of the Republicans’ bogus impeachment hearing for Biden (Joe, not Hunter), they called three witnesses — former DOJ tax prosecutor Eileen O’Connor, a MAGA kook and election denier who believes we are being invaded at the southern border by military aged men from different countries who Biden recruited and is training to help him take over the country (part of her opening statement included Hunter Biden’s laptop and online pornography), George Washington Law School professor and a proponent of polygamy who has written several articles in support of it (he represented the Sister Wives family to try and get polygamy statutes overturned), a regular talking head on Fox News who criticizes Biden regularly, Jonathan Turley, their favorite go-to guy whenever they want someone with credentials to back up their bullshit, and forensic accountant Bruce Dubinsky. All three of them said there wasn’t enough evidence to impeach which shocked the Republicans. They weren’t supposed to say that.

Democrat Jamie Raskin, a constitutional law professor who served on the second Trump impeachment management team, said if the inquiry is really going to go forward they need to subpoena Rudy Giuliani and Lev Parnas since they were both eye witnesses to the so called Biden crimes. He made a motion to subpoena them both and Jim Jordan moved to table the motion (aka ignore it). Jordan’s motion passed 20 to 19.

Rudy and Lev were eye witnesses and participants in Trump’s crimes that got him impeached the first time. This whole Hunter Biden scandal started when Trump and Rudy tried to set Joe Biden up by getting scoundrels in Ukraine to go along with their plan to implicate Joe in Hunter’s fake business dealings. Lev Parnas has already admitted to it.

Jamie Raskin also pointed out that the Republicans are trying to impeach Biden based on a fabricated scandal that his son used his dad’s position as VP to make money in Ukraine when in fact Trump’s son in law used his own access to the Saudis, granted to him by his father in law, to make $2 billion.

“If the Republicans had a smoking gun or even a dripping water pistol, they would be presenting it today but they’ve got nothing on Joe Biden.” — Jamie Raskin
