That is what the investigations are going to determine.
Investigate what, exactly?
How unfortunate that Johnson was unable to show us any of that. Perhaps he was thinking about the Trump family financial connections to the government of China. Would you like me to show you those, and we could see if Johnson was talking about any of that?
We did that in 2020. Meantime, Even some of the republicans are starting to get worried about the faked "investigations."
C'mon. How can we know if there's any evidence, to justify an investigation, if we don't do an investigation?
Would be. But as you learned earlier, even the pro-Russian Ukrainian leader admits it didn't happen. Would you like to see that, again?
There is no universally accepted definition or formulation for probable cause. One traditional definition, which comes from the U.S. Supreme Court's 1964 decision Beck v. Ohio, is when "whether at [the moment of arrest] the facts and circumstances within [an officer's] knowledge and of which they had reasonably trustworthy information [are] sufficient to warrant a prudent [person] in believing that [a suspect] had committed or was committing an offense."

Probable cause requires "facts." Which is the e-word republicans are so unhappy with. EVIDENCE Republicans are saying that they need to do an investigation to get the "facts and circumstances" that they need to do an investigation.
So you're saying there's not probable cause indicating a crime.
That would be "reasonable suspicion" which would permit a stop but not a search or even identification of a person. Absent probable cause, police can't even require you to show your ID, much less your financial records.
Turns out the EU, President Obama, and other officials had been pressuring Ukraine to fire him for his corruption:

For the same reason there have been multiple threads stating Hilary wants to deprogram all Trump supporters and put them in camps. Fiction often has more appeal than reality.
More evidence emerges Biden gang was lying about his document scandal. “The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating President Biden’s mishandling of highly classified documents. The Committee has obtained information that contradicts important details from the White House’s and President Biden’s personal attorney’s statements about the discovery of documents at Penn Biden Center, including the location and security of the classified documents. The Committee has also learned that one of your predecessors as White House Counsel, Ms. Dana Remus, and other White House employees were central figures in the early stages of coordinating the organizing, moving, and removing of boxes that were later found to contain classified materials,” wrote Chairman Comer. In January 2023, President Biden’s personal attorney, Bob Bauer, released a statement that included a timeline of events that began on November 2, 2022, with the unexpected discovery of Obama-Biden records at Penn Biden Center. The House Oversight Committee has learned, however, that the real timeline began in 2021. President Biden used significant federal resources, including five White House employees and a Department of Defense employee, to access and secure items at the Penn Biden Center. President Biden’s timeline was incomplete and misleading. It omitted months of communications, planning, and coordinating among multiple White House officials, Ms. [Kathy] Chung, Penn Biden Center employees, and President Biden’s personal attorneys to retrieve the boxes containing classified materials. The timeline also omitted multiple visits from at least five White House employees, including Dana Remus, Anthony Bernal, Ashley Williams, Annie Tomasini, and an unknown staffer. There is no reasonable explanation as to why this many White House employees and lawyers were so concerned with retrieving boxes they believed only contained personal documents and materials,” continued Chairman Comer. “The Committee believes the White House can provide important insight regarding the discrepancies between the official accounts released by the White House and President Biden’s attorney, and the explanations we have received through multiple transcribed interviews regarding the classified documents.” https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/WH-Classified-Documents-10.11.23_Final.pdf
That's probably a bit of overkill; people would immediately realize it was a political hack job. The difference between Biden, Pence, and Trump is that Biden and Pence reported the documents themselves when they realized they had them. Trump was caught holding them, and then lied repeatedly about how many he had, and even told investigators he returned all of them, while knowing that he still had many other classified documents.
There are still people claiming Trump won in 2020, insisting that Obama was born in Kenya, that Trump never raped that woman, etc. The cult is very resistant to facts and reality.
