Republican Investigation Into Biden Is an “Abject Failure”: Watchdog
Report
The Congressional Integrity Project slammed Republicans’ Biden impeachment inquiry in a scathing new report.

James Comer’s investigation into President Joe Biden’s alleged corruption
has resulted in “eight months of abject failure,” a watchdog group’s new
report said.

Republicans have insisted for months, despite producing no actual
evidence, that Biden is guilty of corruption and influence peddling
overseas. Comer, the House Oversight Committee chairman, has led the
charge, constantly claiming that he is one star witness or bank record
away from revealing the grisly truth.

“After months of political stunts, dozens of hearings, transcribed
interviews, and memos, and despite hours on Fox peddling conspiracy
theories, Comer and his MAGA crew have failed to find a single shred of evidence linking President Biden to any of their lurid accusations,” the Congressional Integrity Project, which monitors Republican investigations,
said in the report released Monday.

“In fact, Republicans have been forced to walk back claim after claim.”

Republicans are expected to open an impeachment inquiry into Biden to
prove that he benefited from his son Hunter’s business dealings overseas.
But they have yet to find any evidence that Biden was ever involved in
Hunter’s work.

The president’s utter lack of involvement matches testimony from multiple supposed whistleblowers. Republicans have heard testimony from IRS agents, Hunter’s former business partner Devon Archer, and former Rudy Giuliani associate Lev Parnas. None of them was able to provide concrete evidence
that Biden was involved in his son’s business. In fact, both Archer and
Parnas said nothing could be further from the truth.

Ranking Oversight Member Jamie Raskin on Monday also slammed Republicans
for targeting Biden and for even threatening to shut down the government
over a potential impeachment inquiry. “Instead of working on legislation
to promote the common good or even just keep the government running, House Republicans are weaponizing their offices and exploiting congressional
power and resources to promote debunked and outlandish conspiracy theories about President Biden,” Raskin said in a lengthy memo.

The sweeping 14-page release, which was obtained by The New Republic, meticulously documents every single one of the GOP investigation’s
failures.

“We can form an obvious judgment on their investigation: it has been a
complete and total bust—an epic flop in the history of congressional investigations,” Raskin wrote.

Republicans have admitted several times that they don’t have any evidence
of Biden’s supposed wrongdoing. But they don’t seem to really care.
Instead, they have acknowledged they really just want to discredit the president.
