In an interesting turn of events, a House Oversight Committee hearing on
Joe Biden’s probable impeachment turned into a heated debate among
legislators.

Representatives Jamie Raskin and James Comer were the main characters in
this heated debate. Their heated discussion revolved around charges that President Biden profited from his family’s international business
connections.

Wednesday’s session was part of an ongoing Republican investigation of Mr. Biden. The investigation accuses him of “corruption” over suspected family business links with foreign powers and unfounded charges of bribery.
Another line of investigation has focused on Mr. Biden’s actions as vice president in Ukraine.

Tensions rose when Raskin pointed out that GOP lawmakers had pursued an
FD-1023 form containing baseless claims. The Maryland lawmaker questioned
how the Republicans would react if the president had gotten $5 million
from Ukraine and then reportedly taken more from the Chinese while still
in office.

Former FBI agent Alexander Smirnov accuses Biden of a bribery conspiracy
in Ukraine. A federal grand jury indicted Smirnov for lying to the FBI
about these claims. Despite the absence of proof, this form prompted House Republicans to initiate an impeachment investigation against Biden.

Comer quickly responded to Raskin’s allegation, saying, “That is simply
not true, but go ahead and finish your story.” The debate heated up when
Comer made another unsubstantiated allegation: bank documents allegedly
proving that the Biden family got thousands of dollars from China.

The two congressmen continued to argue, with Raskin ultimately asking
Comer whether he intended to file for impeachment that day. Comer
responded sharply, “You all have an obsession with Russia and Trump. It’s disturbing… You need therapy; you all need therapy.”

Raskin wanted to have the last say and said, “No, you need therapy. You’re
the one who’s involved with the deranged politician, not me, OK? I
divorced myself from Donald Trump a long time ago. You’re the one who
needs to disentangle from that situation.” He went on to say, “Somebody
needs therapy here, but it’s nobody on our side of the aisle.”

This occurred after the president declined to appear before investigators. Richard Sauber, the president’s special counsel, declared that the
allegation was false.

“Your Committee’s purported ‘impeachment inquiry’ has succeeded only in
turning up abundant evidence that the President has done nothing wrong,”
Mr. Sauber said in the letter, which The Hill acquired.

As the dust settled, it became evident that the impeachment investigation
had sparked strong emotions on both sides of the aisle. The showdown
between Raskin and Comer was a striking reminder of Congress’s fundamental differences. Amid the pandemonium, one thing was certain: everyone
involved might benefit from treatment.
