Jamie Raskin Burns Down Republicans At Their Latest Sham Impeachment Hearing

The House Oversight and Reform Committee was in session again today, so Republicans could try and convince themselves and the public that they haven’t wasted the last several months trying to find impeachable offenses committed by President Joe Biden.

Of course, no high crimes or misdemeanors have been found, but that hasn’t dissuaded the GOP from their bogus hearings in a hopeless attempt to try and slag President Biden so voters won’t focus on the fact that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, is on the hook for 91 criminal charges, including being part of the Jan. 6, 2021 attempt to overturn the 2020 election.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) is the committee’s ranking member, and his opening remarks should be played and replayed for everyone on the planet to hear.

“The impeachment bus is running on empty,” Raskin began.

Focusing his attention on a GOP witness, Tony Bobulinski, Raskin noted, “Mr. Bobulinski made his hazy allegations against the Bidens public for the first time at a press conference choreographed by the Trump for President campaign, which provided him a gaggle of journalists and even a dress shirt that they went out and bought for him to wear to the event.”

“Hours later, Mr. Bobulinski points to the second 2020 presidential debate as Donald Trump’s personal guest, where he was seated with Kid Rock and Mark Meadows.”

For a criminal referral to the Department of Justice, Raskin continued, you need evidence.

“Criminal referrals require evidence of crime. And the only crimes we have seen are those of the GOP’s own star witnesses alike, Russian asset Alexander Smirnov, Chinese agent Gal Luft, Devin Archer, and Jason Galanis.”

A witness for Democrats, Lev Parnas, would shine a “piercing light” on the real motive of Republicans, Raskin asserted.

“And he has reason to note that he, too, used to be a MAGA, peddling lies and disinformation to smear Joe Biden. Today, he joins a long line of self-exiled from Trump World who could no longer stomach all the corruption” 

While Republicans love to proclaim their support for Donald Trump, their sham impeachment hearings are all the proof needed that they don’t have a damn thing other than a desperate need to divert public attention from the organized crime member they so lovingly refer to as the leader of their party. The fact that they continue to walk lock-step with Trump will hopefully consign them to being the permanent minority party in this country.
