House Republicans on Thursday held the first public hearing of their impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

The House Oversight Committee hearing, lasting more than six hours, was led by chairman James Comer.

Republicans say their inquiry is focused on whether Biden was involved in or benefitted from his family's foreign business dealings, among other issues. But so far, they have yet to release evidence that Biden profited from his son Hunter's business deals or was improperly influenced by them.


Rep. Katie Porter, D-Calif., made a point to highlight House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's past remarks regarding an impeachment inquiry.

"A veteran of several impeachments said an impeachment without a floor vote by the Congress would create a process completely devoid of any merit or legitimacy," Porter said.

She held up a poster featuring a photo of McCarthy and his quote, made over former President Donald Trump's 2019 impeachment inquiry.

"This House vote didn't happen," Porter continued. "We have not followed what the speaker himself, Mr. McCarthy, has said is the process that we should be following so that an impeachment inquiry would have merit or legitimacy. Which is something that I think all Americans on both sides of the aisle should expect investigations or inquiries like this to have."

Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., in his closing statement, claimed that everyone was making fun of what he called "this Seinfeld impeachment."

"An impeachment hearing about nothing, apparently, two days before the government is about to shut down," he said.

The congressman reiterated that there has been no direct evidence that would give weight to an impeachment.

"You don't impeach a president based on hypotheticals and obsolete conspiracy theories," he said.
 
Goldman: 'You bring in the fact witnesses and your case goes down the drain'
Like Democrats who spoke before him, Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., reiterated that the hearing has no witnesses testifying with "direct knowledge of the evidence to determine that there is a basis for this impeachment inquiry."

There has been no new evidence or knowledge so far in this hearing, he said.

"So why don't we have some of the fact witnesses here?" Goldman said. "The reason is, you bring in the fact witnesses and your case goes down the drain."

The Republiclown party is just a bunch of Truppets.
 
Six hours, nothing new, none of the promised smoking guns, no witness with direct connection, and even their “experts” there was no evidence, eight months of supposed investigation and on their big day, they came with nothing
 
Like every other hearing they have run.

The "witnesses" and "whistleblowers" show up and offer nothing burgers.

Today's three can basically be summed up as saying 'we are not fact witnesses and thus know nothing specific, but we THINK thinks look bad and an impeachment inquiry COULD get some answers'.
