CHICAGO — House Republicans issued a blistering report Monday accusing President Biden of committing at least two offenses that would justify his impeachment — delivering a political black eye to Biden just hours before he speaks on the opening night of the Democratic National Convention.

Republicans launched the investigation last September after evidence surfaced that Biden, 81, repeatedly interacted with his relatives’ foreign business partners during his vice presidency — and following allegations from two IRS investigators of a far-reaching Justice Department coverup.

Biden engaged in ā€œabuse of powerā€ and ā€œobstruction of justice or obstruction of Congressā€ by corruptly abetting and concealing a $27 million ā€œinfluence-peddling racketā€ — which warrant proceedings that could result in his removal from office, the 291-page report by three House committees says.

Comment:
Biden won't be impeached, but a least they should expose his crimes for the public to know.
However, if Biden has broken the law he should be prosecuted.
Did Biden pay taxes on his bribe income?
Don't let him off the hook.
You don't have the votes for it... not even in the House... so it's just not going to happen...

You have an election to (try to) win, and you're running out of time... this doesn't help you... snap out of it...

You can always refer the matter to the US District Attorney's Office after January 20, 2025...
 
I see it as a matter of Congress getting its priorities straight. There is real work to attend to regarding the budget but over the last 8 years they rather engage in a game of got'cha that they all know will end up going nowhere.
That's a fair point but why would the Congress's inability to get the nation's fiscal affairs in order have anything to do with whether or not a President should be held accountable for using thier office inappropriately.

Before anyone jumps in, this is not me saying Biden or Trump or any President did anything.

I'm likewise not contending that Biden, didn't act inappropriately. I just have 0% confidence that the required Senate Democrats would put politics aside to come up with the required two-thirds vote needed to render any needed accountability. I'd held the same it's-nothing-but-politics view regarding the House Democrats impeachment efforts during the Trump administration.

Republicans are worthless.

They complain a lot but they DO nothing.
