Fox News Hosts Say Republicans Have No Evidence to Impeach Joe Biden
Unless you’ve been living under a rock without access to basic cable, you likely know that Fox News mainly operates as the mouthpiece of the Republican Party. Over the last several years, that’s meant a significant amount of the network’s programming has involved painting Joe Biden as a cognitively impaired criminal who is deliberately destroying the country and is either “a puppet or he’s being blackmailed.” So the fact that not one, but two of the network’s hosts have declared in the last three days that the Republican Party has zero evidence to impeach the president is pretty, pretty, pretty embarrassing for the GOP.
On Monday, Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy told viewers that despite months of probing, “Republicans at this point…they have not connected the dots” between Hunter Biden’s alleged crimes and Joe Biden. “They’ve connected the dots, the Department of Justice did on Hunter, but they have not shown where Joe Biden did anything illegally.”

Even conservative GOP Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, who serves on the House Oversight Committee and supports impeaching the president, acknowledged that it has been hard for the investigation to break through: “While I think that it’s pretty clear, I don’t know that the case has been made adequately to the American people.”

GOP Rep. Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania, who is not on any of the committees conducting the probe, told CNN, “I have seen nothing. I really see nothing. I know what people say. And I watch the news,” when asked if any evidence uncovered by the committees rose to the level of impeachment.

Another swing district Republican, Rep. Mike Garcia of California, who is waiting to see what the committees produce before making a final judgment, told CNN that when the committee chairs leading the investigation presented to a subsection of the conference this week they each gave updates on their work, but none said explicitly they had evidence of an impeachable offense.
Pointing to the House Oversight Committee’s bank memos about Biden family business dealings, a senior GOP investigator said that the evidence is there, but “we need to maybe do a better job from a communications perspective at dumbing those memos down and turning them into graphics.”
Others say it has not been a big focus of their already crowded agenda.
“Nobody is talking about that,” said GOP Rep. Dan Newhouse of Washington state, when asked for his thoughts on the Biden impeachment inquiry.
Another swing district Republican, Rep. David Valadao of California, said: “I spend zero time on this.”

Republican Senator Admits There’s “No Evidence”on Biden Impeachment
Chuck Grassley is exposing the truth about House Republicans’ Biden impeachment inquiry.
Senator Chuck Grassley admitted on Wednesday that House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden hasn’t produced any facts pointing to wrongdoing on the president’s part.
“I have no evidence of it,” Grassley told CNN, just hours before House Republicans were set to vote to formalize the Biden impeachment inquiry. “I’m just going to follow the facts where they are, and the facts haven’t taken me to that point where I can say the president is guilty of anything.”

Some House Republicans are openly admitting that they have no evidence to impeach President Joe Biden as they prepare to vote to officially launch a probe into him later this week.
When asked if Biden committed high crimes or misdemeanors, Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., told reporters on Tuesday, "Probably not."

“The time for impeachment is the time when there’s evidence linking President Biden — if there’s evidence linking President Biden to a high crime or misdemeanor. That doesn’t exist right now,” Ken Buck told MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki.”

There are other quotes in the info I posted in other threads.
As I said:
Another swing district Republican, Rep. David Valadao of California, said: “I spend zero time on this.”
Here's the evidence we have:
Biden first lied about the authenticity of the laptop in the debate. Fact.
Biden's team procured the "51 signatures" to cast doubt on the laptop's authenticity AFTER knowing it was real. Fact.
Biden said he never talked to Hunter's business partners, which was a lie. Changed story to "never talked business" after he was busted. Fact
Shell companies were used to route $ paid to the Biden family. Fact.
One of Biden's brothers paid Joe money right after he received money from a foreign entity. Claimed it was a "loan repayment". No evidence of receiving a loan was produced. Fact.
Hunter himself said he gives his Dad half his money. Fact.
So yes, no direct wire to Joe, but only an absolute fool would think he's innocent and did nothing wrong, unethical, etc.
Should he be impeached for this? I actually don't think so. But Trump was impeached for far, far less, with far less "evidence".
The Democrats created using impeachment as a political tool - I guess the R's are putting an end to it.
